"Honda no heated seats, Honda no sell S2000"
[QUOTE]It seems everyone at Honda has an opinion on the lackluster appeal of the S2000.

It will fade away quickly alright...especially with those engine choices and heavy weight, but that linked article has BMW troll all over it, but nonetheless, welcome to the home of our "little friend"

Good. Now people will think I have a BMW instead of asking what my car is.

It was a fake article written by someone whose friend owns a S2000.

Yep, that Z4 definitely looks like the mutant pedigree of a Mercury Cougar crossed with a Z3.

I can't believe how bad BMW's choice of stylists has been lately. Look at the Z3, the 7 series and now this! and then look at what BMW has done to its "retro" motorcycles.

Honestly, these vehicles are so over the top and ridiculous it ain't funny.

Horrible lines.....way to choppy. It gets an "F" for clean lines. Did
BMW hire someone from Pontiac. That car is just way to choppy.
Cleaned up it might look half way decent. Whats that black hole area behind the driver...the top? Whats that big ZIT on the rear side Bumper?

BMW must be reaching the point of desperation to come up with a design that is such an obvious rip-off of the S2000.

I'll bet it even has the big red start button.

You gotta love that "Z" carved into the front fender. Looks like Zorro was here.

Also, the title of this thread seems to have it backwards...BMW ripped of the design from Honda!
