{snip}Sales for the s2000 are pretty much the same for 2005 and 2006

YTD sales to May

2005 2973
2006 2895

Difference they sold 78 more cars through may in 2005 versus 2006 ~-2.5% pretty minimal difference.

Now the June difference is large but who knows if it is significant. They sold ~260 more cars in june of last year. Is that meaningful or just natural flucation. Honda may end up selling 250 more cars in july in 2006 than 2005. Then it would be roughly a wash. Plus who knows if this discounts were more because the dealers were dumping old stock with the 2006 coming in.
What is significant is that Honda did NOT have the $299 lease special in May last year. I am sure that increased sales for 2006(that is why I bought one in May anyway). Even with this sales boost(which increased significantly over April '06) they still sold more S2K's in May 05.

The lease special continued through June and still Honda sold less cars than 05 when they did not have the special. Now the deal has been extended until September. It seems even with the 2006 year upgrades and a great lease deal they still aren't moving as well as Honda would like them too.

Strange that 2000 was such the low selling year. When I looked at the car then it was getting above MSRP and I walked. I would have thoight that would be the biggest selling year. Maybe production was lower?
Look at the MONTHLY AVERAGES. It's the highest out of all the years even though the TOTAL SALES of the year are less. It tells me that it was proabably only available for a few months out of the model year and sold like hotcakes during those months. (And I'm sure many on this board paid over sticker to buy them...)

That was 1999. It obviously was not out the full year(<3500 sold). the avg was 850 units/mth so did very well for the months it was available. 2000 had to be a full year and still the total is very low and the monthly average is the lowest of any year on the list as well at 566 cars/mth. 2001 and 02 were the best years and then it dropped off to around 600-650 mth.
