MX-5 is a great car, but I agree w/ Hicabi, Honda doesn't need to apologize for the weight of the s2k.
Check out the pics of the rolled s2k in this thread:

Every rolled s2k I've seen looks the same - the windshield frame didn't collapse and the cockpit remained relatively intact. Driver walks away.
Now check out every rolled Miata in this thread:

That first pic...damn.
Honda could have made a weaker, lighter car. Thank God they didn't. IMO Honda did a better job designing their convertible despite having little experience. Considering the s2k is both faster and safer, I'd say my life is worth an extra 300-400 lbs.

The S2000 rolled over 3 times - ala NASCAR style. There wouldn't be much left of a Miata after 3 turns, the extra 400 lbs means alot when you see it through a different perspective.
