I was correct on my "predictions" but the smurf blue is BARFFF.

I wonder what the other colors will be?

Well, that saved me a bunch of money. Now I feel better about supercharging my S2000 in the fall, along with some suspension tweeks.

Going back, let see how accurate I was:

1. Deletion of the SoftTop (Correct)
2. Hardtop instead of softtop. (Correct)
3. Hardtop can be taken off. (Correct)
4. 3 different colors are offered. (Never seen before in the US) (Correct)
5. Seat are cloth, with yellow stitches (Correct)
6. Revised wheels (Correct)
7. Tuned suspensions to OUTPERFORM AP1, AP2 in laptimes (Correct)
8. Odometer cluster will be revised (Correct)
9. Centerconsole is revised (Correct)
10. Shortshifter is included (I can't confirm this) (Correct)
11. Bodykit* (All they told me, is that the Aerodynamics of the new model will produce MUCH more downforce on the car) Don't think of Body kit, as like a "body" kit like J's, ING or anything crazy like that. (Correct)
12. Car will be lighter (OMG 90 LBS WHAT THE HELL, I CAN LOSE 90lbs)
13. The frame will be stronger* (I don't know what they mean yet) SEMI (Correct)



Good thing I didn't exactly knew what It looked like, why the HELL WOULD THEY PRESENT THE CAR IN SMURF BLUE!?@?!@?

Sigh...It's either an '07 S2000, a 350Z, or just wait for the Supra...

I've been wanting a S2000 for so long...and that car just makes me sad. Are they trying to make people happy the S2000 will be discontinued or what? Sheesh...

Good job Honda. You took a car that was one of the best looking cars out there with classic and timeless lines and completely butchered them. Its horrible...even more so than the notorious pink F&F 2 one. WTF?!?!?!

On a side note....looks like the hardcore S2000 fans will be saving some money with this ugly rendition.

Is it too late for them to recall this on grounds that they were smoking crack when designing this?

90 lb savings? Couldn't you get most of that in a regular S with race seats? I've never been so disappointed by a special edition. I had higher hopes than a body kit and a coilover coversion. Seems to me you could leave this machine in the dust, likely for less $$, with selected mods to a stock S.
