My inside source at Honda, who knows everything because he is in the inner circle told me that Chris Bangle, formerly of BMW, picture below, has been hired by Honda to design the new S2200 coupe!



Chris has decided that the Insight, with its light weight frame, makes the perfect platform for the new Honda sports car, so much so the new NSX may be designed on a similar platform - possibly using extra batteries to boost the power:


The S2200 will be modeled off of the extra Insight frames that Honda was not able to use due to bad sales and failing batteries. The S2200, while looking like an Insight, will thoroughly whoop an Insight in 0-60 by approximately 10 seconds reaching a 0-60 time of 5.5 seconds or better. Price is expected to be in the $40,000 range, with only two color options: Harvest Gold or Avocado Green.

 

avocado green, huh?

 

Guess that Mr Bangle is the April Fool of 2003.

 

I want puke green.
