Can anyone confirm the if Honda is redesigning the S for 2005. According to MotorTrends future forcast
found here: http://www.motortrend.com/future/spied/112...fvf/index3.html


the next S is going to be coming for the next model year. If this is the case I really dont want to buy a new 2004 model because I know i'll be disappointed when a new version rolls out in less than a year. I am making my purchase based on this information. If this is factual, I'll probably end up getting a used one, if not true I would really want to purchase a new 2004 model. What do you guys think?

 

Newer cares aren't always "better."

And I doubt there will be a redesign in MY05 instead of MY06.

 

and no one on this side of the pond actually knows what Japan is doing. If you remember months back all the hype surrounding the '04 was it a coupe.. well look how that turned out ?

 

2005 Honda S2000: Redesign with obligatory power boost.

Main Entry: oblig

 

So I hate to say it but the probability is not zero it is negative They just did a fairly significant redesign with the MY04. Think how much the engine change cost alone, much less the body and chassis changes. They have to amortize those costs for at least a couple of years. Sorry no major changes for at least 3 years!

 

Mah homie who's mom works 4 da guy dat 'esploited t' clain da toilets at some Checy deala' (down low, they be in da same county as one who sells Hondas I think) told me dat da damn fresh S-2-Tripa-0 got'ta gullwin' do's, some 450 H-P turbocharged v6 wid da naws, an' 22 inch rims wit' runflat tires. It will also have navigashun, built in P-S-in'-2 an' neons!!!

It be fixin' t'own an' dat guy should know...he knows Caddys! Da bomb!

 

That Obligatory Power increase thing has been on that site for a couple of years now. Initially it said that exact thing for the MYo4 and now they have just switched the year to 2005.

I must say that Motor Trend is probably one of the least trust worthy major car magazines around. Even their comparison tests are weird and non sensical. Recently they compared the S ( 2 door, pure race machine, convertible, 2.2li) vs Rx8 (rotary, 4 door, 4 passenger sporty car) vs Z (six cylinder, hard top, 2 seater) ??!! and had the RX8 win because it was not as noisy and had more passenger room and while it did not win any performance categories, .....it was "competitive"........???

From a business perspective, it would be a very odd move to redesign the car two years in a row, so IMO it's unlikely.
