Nice to see an article on the S in the new issue of Hemmings Sports & Exotic magazine.

Two owners comment on their cars, Tom Weidner from Pa, and Michael Moore from Tx.

I wonder if they're on the boards????

 

What issue is it? June 2014 isn't even on their website. I'm running into difficulties finding hard copies in Phoenix, AZ.

 

It's the latest issue, June 2014. I get the subscription mailed to my house which I believe beats the news stand.

Sometimes the Hemmings blog will feature a car from one of their mags (Muscle Car, Classic Car & Sports Car ). They explain how they photographed it and give the back story.

I was really surprised to see the S2000 in the mag as they usually focus on cars of Europe.

 

I read it on Friday but I swear my co-worker hits the news stands every morning.

 

Excerpts:

"With no faster/better replacement, the S2000 is a singular entity, and while it's slipped from the public consciousness, there are still plenty around; enough people who want them that prices won't ever be low-ball."

" ... the s2000 is popular with the Fast & Furious crowd, and any manner of unspeakable modifications may have been made to a particular vehicle several owners down the line. Keep in mind that unless you know (and trust) the owners or shops that made the modifications, caveat emptor ..."


I thought it was a positive article directed towards a mature crowd.

The unanswered question is whether Hemmings covered the car because it perceives the S2000 as a "sports" car or as an "exotic" car. A little bit of both, perhaps.

 

Can anyone scan the article and upload it? would love to see it!

 

^^ For copyright reasons, that's not a good idea. Hemmings sells their content on a subscription basis. Unless it's free, it's not cool to redistribute.

 

I can't. I gave my copy to Aashish.

 

What is the title of the article? It should be available online now. You can get a free issue for trial by signing up online for the magazine. Heck, even a one-year subscription fee would be worth it to read a six-page article on the S.

Edit: only the May 2014 and older issues are currently online. It looks like you can get an introduction to articles online, but you need to be a paid subscriber to read them entirely. I could be wrong, so I'll keep checking.

 

It's a buyer's guide. It rehashes what was said about the car back in the day by other magazines - stuff we've all seen before. It describes a little of what is available on the market now with a price guide, and then it has a section on what to look for when buying - engine, body, interior - things like that. Nice pictures.

But I wouldn't necessarily rush out to buy a subscription just to see the article.
