I would like a coupe version of the S2K
i've been considering the s2k as my next car, but i don't really care for convertibles, i want it for the engine, handling, etc.
on one hand the s2k is designed as a pure sports car, on the other having a power-operated convertible top seems to contradict that intention.
i think honda should consider a lighter coupe version of the s2k for $4-5K less. i'd be all over that.

just go and buy yourself a hardtop like me, 
I LOVE IT!! i only taken it off 1 time since i bought the hardtop. I love the coupe feeling 
it would be interesting if Honda made a hard top version only. it would be maybe 1-2k dollars cheaper and also would be about 100-200lbs lighter.

I agree with bayarea408, go buy a hardtop!
You would have a great coupe (hardtop only weighs 44 pounds) and if you should someday decide, wow, I want to go topless, you would be all set!

because the car was designed from the ground up as a convertible a coupe version wouldn't save much if any weight. S2000 aren't braced structuraly as most convertibles are so there isn't much weight to remove. Also that throws out the thought of a cost reduction. To have a full hard top on the car that weighs the same or less than the VERY light for a power convertible top would almost make aluminum a necessity, again no cost reduction. Also, according to Honda the power top only added about 10 pounds to the weight of a manual top. For 10 lbs I'll take power please. Untill next time...
