In a 5000mile round trip from Fla to SoCal , I saw three. One on a dealer delivery truck, one on an off ramp in Pheonix and one parked on a street in Long Beach Cal. California was the supprise and I know there are many there but evidently, still a relativly rare car in any locale.
Owners of the Soltice and Sky are probably noting simular awareness among other drivers because of their car. I stare at both of these cars because I seldom see one.

That logo was considered "politically incorrect" they replaced it with the waste management logo..... Students aren't happy.

Depends on where you live I suppose. I bet the s2ks in Socal don't even get a second look.
Yeah that is kind of true.

The new obsession around here seems to be GT-R's...

So, I hate when people look at me or even say 'nice car.'

The only people who fuss over a S today are ppl who don't know cars.

The S has been around for almost 10 YEARS!!!

It really is nothing special. It can be had for less than 10 thousand dollars if you really want one bad.

With almost 56,000 S's sold in the USA to date, it's JUST a hunda.


If the S looked boring, If the S were not a convertible I'd still buy one.

s2k is nothing special - people here treat is as TRANSPORTATION, nothing more for the most part. Sure there is a big group of us who worship + love the car but tons of beat up ones in mall parking lots every day.....
