I do not think the NSX inflated prices are due to the release of the new one. Since 2012,13 all collector cars are going nuts not just the NSX, Porsche, Ferrari, Mercedes, all have taken off. Just the market, to floated all boats. Was watching "Whats my car worth" the other evening and they show a little graph of the price for the last five years, just about every car bottomed out in 2013 and just took off after that.

I like the idea of a turbo but the K20c1 does not rev high enough in my opinion. If they did that it would not be following what the S series is meant to be. Some people may argue the same thing about a turbo, so I also think it would be cool if they just made a new S say 3000 or 3400 with a low stroke high revving v6 or v8.

I honestly do not think Honda will put out anything nearly as advanced and groundbreaking as far as roadsters go as they did with the original s2000.
The stiff open chassis, ridiculous F20c engine acclaim and overall performance to price ratio and so on will be impossible to replicate. I don't even think the new NSX is regarded as "that special" compared to other supercars as the original S2000 was and obviously not even close to the original NSX.....
I think they will put out a great roadster that bests the new Mx5 in performance. I prefer that they put effort and engineering into a midengine coupe to compete with the Porsche Cayman and leave the original S2000 legacy where it should be..... Do something more unique rather than hop back onto the roadster trend.....

Honda will ruin the s2000 like the did the nsx.
It would be terrible if they recycled the engine from another car for the new s2000, added that hybrid mess, and whatever else that they'll surely add to the car. And the fact is this wouldn't matter if they just called it something else. It would still be just another unappealing Honda.

for me a 'new" S2000 would not relate.
Every new car has to be technologically advanced , more powerful and therefore requiring more nannies and self driving features to protect unskilled customers.
My old 911 is the closest thing to a fast horse I can get my hands on, my S2000 a close second.
Newer cars are edging closer to video games - requiring less skills to achieve more speed.
F1 GP of Europe impacted if not decided by buttons and software.
I'm liking the past better than the future

My sentiments exactly. I'm happy with my original s2k.

If Honda does go ahead and produce the car, it MAY be a decent offering, but I'm afraid that they will absolutely ignore what the original was all about. The car is supposed to be about an uncomplicated driver's experience. It is all about performance, not technology and comfort gadgets.
The new S2000 will likely be more about iPhone integration than road feel.
