Don't always believe what dealerships tell you, you will find that most of the time you know more then they do. Take for example all of local BMW dealerships that swore to me that 2005 was the last year for the E46 M3 and that I should place an order before they could stop ordering them in late May (last year), and low and behold there are plenty of 2006 M3's on the road.

 

The weaker the mind, the easier it is to manipulate the senses.

 

If you want the truth about the S2000 and the final year of production, read my sig!!!

You're a great sport for bringing this back. Most guys would be too embarassed.

 

Damn, didn't realize these threads had been around so long...

 

Exactly right, the way the HP numbers are calculated changed with the 06 model year. This alone proves that the dealership is full of which you will find is usually the case. When I test drove my 2005 model, I told them that I had already owned an S2000 before and not to try and me. The sales lady was cool and admitted she knew next to nothing about the car and it was in fact her first time taking one out for a test drive (the sales person had to drive the car out of the lot). So I spent the time to teach her as much as I could so she could better serve an uninformed S2000 buyer.

As for the limited appeal of the S, that is what brought me to the car. It was as close to the old roadsters as you can get with a new car and that's why I have owned 2. If they change it up to suit a mass market, I'm sure myself and many other car enthusiasts will move on elsewhere (unless there is a bare bones version offered of course

)

Yeah right. I should edit my post and put in a prediction that the '06 model will have DBW.
