I'd be happy if Nissan would just release the Juke R here in the states.

In 2006, the engine fully replaced F20C engines in the Japanese market as well which resulted in a drop in rated power output from 250 PS (247 bhp) to 242 PS (239 bhp). Outside of Japan and the United States, the F20C continued to be the only available engine.
Fwiw the F22 is a stronger engine (as shown on dynos) but power ratings were revised downward so the number is lower.

I don't see how a car with no glove box and essentially no trunk can ever be considered a Grand Tourer. A GT is supposed to be more about luxury than spartan performance. The S2000 is not just spartan, it is King Leonides.

I was just thinking the opposite. The color is fine but that type diamond quilting does not belong in an S2000.
