Honda doesnt have any plans of changing the S2000 any time soon. Hopefully!

I thought it was a I-5, I've never seen a V-5.

My brother was in a dealership in Rochester, NY and the salesman told him that there would be a six cylinder version of the S2K perhaps, named "S2500" available for 2005.

I saw on the internet that Honda was going to keep the S2000 next year but discontinue the F20C and the F22C and replace them with a pure electric drive.

I am no expert on automotive chasis design and development, but I cannot imagine a car using balsa wood.

Actually, balsa wood sandwiched between two sheets of metal is used in the floor pan of the current Corvette, and is carrying over to the new C6. The engineers said they couldn't find a material (even exotic) that was as strong without adding significant weight. And apparently it does a good job blocking out sound as well.

Wow, the Type R article has resurfaced... I'm pretty sure I remember it was someone who wrote it as part of their journalism class as an assignment, so it's completely made up.
