One of our Tampa Bay Honda dealers has been referring to our car as the "S-2000" in their advertising (see below). This has been going on for a few months now.

As you may know, in order to protect their trademarks, a business has to ensure that their product names always appear in advertising using the correct product name spelling. I'd be willing to bet that the American Honda organization would not like the way this dealer lets their ad writers mangle that name.

Even more, I find it offensive to see how this dealer has been carelessly publishing these ads with the murdered name.

If you agree that this is wrong, you might want to go to that dealer's website and let them know (About, Send us an email) that you don't like it!
