Hello everyone, new here and have some questions. Is Honda still in the first generation of s2000's, and do they have plans to release a 2nd generation? I assume if they're still in the 1st generation then the body style hasn't changed? Thank you all.

 

howdy....yes honda S2000 is still in the first gen.Only minor changes from 2000 to 2006

 

Some folks consider the change from AP1 to AP2 as a generation change, however, in countries where the 2.0L engine stayed, this might be a tough argument.

 

Thanks folks!

 

Yes, the 2004 model year got tweaks to the front and rear (new bumpers, new tailpipe, wheel size, new head/tail-light clusters). But, I think from most points of view, this is still a "first generation" car. Who knows if there'll even be a next generation...? It took Mazda 9 years before revamping the original Miata, and man they sold a WHOLE lot more of them than Honda has sold S2000s; keep that in mind.

This year (MY2006) does have some significant changes under the hood (drive-by-wire throttle comes to mind), but I'm stickin' with first-gen nomenclature.

 

BTW, if that's your Prelude... Nice! I had gen-1 ('82) and gen-3('88) Preludes and loved them both.

 

04+ also got suspension tweaks and an interior update.

 

^ True, but I don't think any interior mods would count as a generational change, would they, Saki? Hey, love your "Speed Racer" signature!

 

You can derive the answer from Honda itself. When the advertising claims the car is "all-new, totally re-designed", that's when they're on the second gen. This hasn't happened yet.
