Should the S2000 successor use the S2000 name?
 

In your opinion the new car Honda will create and bring to the market to succeed the S2000 should use the S2000 name?

In the past we had the s600 s800 unique names.

In my opinion to make this model even more unique it should not use the S2000 name..

What you guys think?

If it is 2000 cc, yes.

If it is not, no.

Seems pretty simple.

Yep, agree.

Dhuh. Honda has created a lineage upon the S naming convention that dates back more than half a centry, to their very car ever built.

Sxxxx, where x is the engine displacement in cc, more or less (as so many cars, and bikes, have done in the modern era, the numeric representation of engine displacement need not be exact).

Its looking like the next car will use a turbo 2.0, with electric supercharger to fill in the turbo lag gaps. So then, yeah, it would be counter to their established naming to vear off from calling it an S2000.

Of course, this most recent iteration (ap1 & ap2) has created something that went way beyond the original S cars, such that the S2000 name has taken on a life of its own. I can see how some without knowledge or respect for the heritage might have a kneejerk reaction that it could be seen as disrespectful to that most recent iteration to reuse the S2000 name for such a wholely different new car. But thats just ignorance talking right there, its actually the other way round.

It would be disrespectful to their heritage to use any other name but S2000.

Honda’s call obviously, but hopefully only if it’s a roadster with a suitable engine displacement.

probably be a 1.5L turbo

IF they even come out with a successor.

I would preffer to keep the S2000 name for this model. To make it even more unique..

Well, yeah, but AP2s are 2200cc.

ap1 are actually 1997cc and ap2 are 2157cc
