I live in the middle of BFE and it's not uncommon for me to see 2 or 3 in a day. One day last month I saw 9 or 10 in about 1

Alas, I have NEVER seen another on the road in MI in six months of ownership. I seen one in another state, one at car shows, and the two others I test drove but none on the road. Vets, Bimmers, and Boxsters but none of our's.

I live in Fairlawn, a VERY small city close to Akron, OH. I see red, black, white, silver, and yellow every week. I am telling you Fairlawn is very small.

it is a southern cal thing, especially orange county - they are everywhere. Hopefully honda won't make too many... who am I kidding, they will be up to 10k a year before we know it. oh well, I enjoy mine, it makes me happy.

The other day I saw three driving on the 405 home from work. I saw three more in 15 mins on a Friday night on Beach Blvd. Seems like this car is becoming more popular.
My sources said that Honda sold close to 800 S2000 in the month of July! You would anticipate the high sales in the summer months, but if they sell 600 units average then that would be 7,200 a year. Doesn't seem like they're gonna stop production anytime soon.
Let's stop promoting this site so fewer people will start buying more S2000's.

I live in Pasadena, CA and travel extensively throughotu LA daily. I only see about 1 S2K per week although twice now, I have spotted three in a day (driving to and from San Diego).

Kind of curious how we have nothing better to do than count the number of similar cars-never did that when i owned a Ford Explorer!

Ok. Just for kicks, try counting Accords and Civics in California.

I'm always passing those too! Except for the exotics, I still see fewer S2000's than it's want-to-be's.

A few months ago, on my seven mile drive to the office, I decided to count car brands. Guess which were the most common? Not Hondas or even Fords. BMWs and Mercedes were the common currency, 15 in all in the seven mile stretch. That's what leasing has done. These cars are now more common that the cheapest bargain car. Who the hell would want such an ordinary road appliance? Not me!
