Default Is S2000 a head turner?

Well , it sure turns my head 360 when I see it.

The usual...

"hey, nice car"
"what is that?"
"wow"

And of course, the plethora of mouths agape with no verbal expression to suit The S2000 most certainly has the rubber necking factor that many other competitors do not. A limited exclusivity perhaps?

I'm not certain if others will agree, but I'd vouch that my S2000 turns more heads with the hard top on than with it off and the soft top down.

asif... you can't forget that it may also turn heads b/c some may find your car to have "too much yellow."
even ugly cars turn heads!!!!! i'm not calling your car ugly at all, but i've been told that i don't have a nice car and that it's a head turner only b/c of my bright yellow color!
i found that when the car's not clean, it gets no reaction from people, but the day i wash/wax and do the whole 9 to it, it turns heads like crazy. but then again... that's like asking for attention.
i just hope most heads turn b/c they like what they see!

My blue turns heads with top up, down or with hardtop on....I think with hardtop it is a more rare sight and people are just not used to seeing it, and are trying to determine what make of car it is.

I am still amazed that I haven't driven the car one day without SOMEONE makeing a positive comment. this is no exaduration either. I honestly get comments every day from kids to old people like "NICE car" and "WOW", even the occasional "holy SHHH!". This is my daily driver too and it has honestly happened EVERY day.
Try to get that response with a 350Z in 6 months when there are as many of them as there are Celicas on the road.

Believe me, it turns heads. Men, women, kids, teenage girls. People react!

"Wow"
"Nice car"
"Cute car"
"I want one"
"Is it fast?"

Wierdest one i ever got was an old guy in a buick pulled up next to me, and with one of the most southern axcents i've ever heard, said "well that kindof looks like a del sol" i busted out laughing and pull away from him as fast as possible.
