Check out Car and Driver's web site at www.caranddriver.com. Feature story is on the S200 with a video clip from thier review on C/D TV. Very nice.

The video is cool but a pretty average written review. I dislike the use of words like 'cute'. Is he saying the car is 'ugly but interesting'?

And 'frenetically churning pistons'? ... and the reference to making your average pleb feel like Michael Schumacher. Gonzo journalism. Repeat after me "I'm so stupid I wanna be someone else"

This is not aimed at anybody BTW..it's just the picture I get when I read this review. Is it just me?

I think everyone understands that journalists for mass market magazines like this have to write to interest the lowest common denominator. You cant improve circulation if the only reader you appeal to are purists. I just like it any time I see our wonderful car in print.

Me too. And you do have a point. Maybe I expect too much

they did get this right: "The S2000 is a unique and seductive tool for speed."
glad to see our car getting well deserved attention from the auto press.
