i really hate to do this but i've saved up a fairly large amount for a down payment on a s2000 (finally!) but i have a different problem now. Honda changes or redesigns all of their cars every 4 years (excluding nsx). 03 would be the s2000's 4th year. So in essence my question is will the s2000 be getting a new look or is the s2000 gonna be like the nsx and go on for a while without redesign?

 

You'll not find an answer you can truly hold water to. Unfortunately, it's too soon to know what will come of the S2000 for '04.

It will just come to speculation.

 

And excluding the last Integra (which lasted 7 years)...and the second to last Prelude (that went 5 years)...and the first generation CRV (which lasted 6 years). Honda's typical 4 year pattern seems to only apply to the Civic and Accord nowadays.

 

airgate is right. all you'll get is speculation at best and utter BS and worst.

 

But......but.........but............... isn't '03 the last year the S2000 will be made?

 

PSSSST....Word on the street is a total design change in 2005,now go on kid beat it.

 

My take (from working with Honda parts) is some are marked when they're made on a grid layout with dots marking the month. 99-03 is on there. That's 5 model years so my guess is if a remodeling is done it would be an 05 model.

 

Our newspaper here had a recent article about what is in store for the future of all makes of cars. These were anticipated changes as indicated to them by the manufacturer.

The Civic will get a sportier face lift in 2005/2006. It will have better suspension, better handling, and a little more power.

The S2000 will remain unchanged until MY 2005, when it is expected to get "somewhat" a new look and more HP.

 

Over here in the UK, magazine had "new cars on the way " feature. Said that Honda had given Mugen a free reign on the S2 and had given it more BHP and aggresive styling. The photos of it looked really good. Honda UK, said no real plans for a launch, but said would probably be for US market where the Mugen badge is used.

 

dctrpark, take you money to the Honda dealer and buy a 2002 or 2003. Drive it and enjoy it. When Honda finally makes a major change to the S, and you like the new one better, then trade in the old and get a new. I see no sense in waiting, hoping to figure out what Honda will do. Airgate is so completely right it is just not funny!
