my main question is why they would step back the naming convention.

S800 was the designation for a much smaller car. If they do make a 4 seater or make the car bigger in any way it would HAVE to have a bigger powerplant. S2900, S3200 something to move the line forward not backward.

S800 does sound phoney. Maybe a code name?

Maybe it's code for 25% of the upcoming S3200.

Good. Its about time. Now, all these young thundercats wrapping their cars around a pole will start to make the whole ones rarer.

I thought we were going to stop that. The original poster lied, maybe by accident, but it was a LIE. According to the article, the new honda will be more civil (read miata) like the old S800. This is a comparison only. The new S2000 will not be called the S800.

Chances are there going to try to get closer to the miata in an effort to raise sales. They could also go automatic. I think everyone here can agree that these are bad ideas, but its a Car Magazine rumor, not a Honda policy...

And for the IBTLs, someone is asleep at the lock button.
