Him: Blank confused look on his face
I almost responded last night. I always get "Is that a new Honda Model??"

To be fair the new Miata is badass looking and actually faster 0-60 and way lighter I'd say more potential than the S2K



Swap a K24 in and the S2K stands no chance in hell.

Only time was some dude walking by with his girl and shouted "nice car" back when I had my NFR. Now with my Suzuka Blue I barely get any looks or comments. I think its such a subtle color people think its another BMW Z3 or a Miata. Also being in NorCal Silicon Valley you get all sorts of rich and exotic looking cars people are kinda numb to it all.

I live in Tennessee so all you see here is mustang's, camaros and lifted trucks. So many trucks.... our car sticks out like a sore thumb here. Merica! Yeehaw!

I was told the same by a guy that worked at a Honda dealership when I was walking in to buy oil filters By his age, high end suit and Rolex I assume he was a manager or above there.

There could be a lot of debate around "beat". The s2k is a classic now. Miata is another Miata... but yes - a good alternative espeically if you want something new. I agree the new miatas look great.
