I am curious...

 

it's not anywhere but the US because the US is the only country in the world that bitches about the torque of the 2.0l engine.

 

Because Japanese people are not torque-craving maniacs like us here in the good-ol USA (don't forget about the Canadians).

 

In the US it seems as if dragging is pretty much the end all of what determines a fast car.

We're coming around... but it's gonna take a while.

 

Why does North America have the highest percentage of obese individuals? - the answer is the same.

 

because honda motor corp. chose not to offer it in japan...

 

Because Japanese autos are taxed by engine size. Also because the S2000 was designed to race in the 2.0L class, not the 2.0L+ class.

 

Karl, there may be some validity to your second point but the difference in tax between a 2 litre and a 2.2 litre engine is bugger all and not worth splitting hairs over, never mind being a justification for keeping the engine at a reduced capacity.

 

I think there is plenty of torque in the 2.0 liter. However, I did drive a friend's 04' and it did have a little bit more "pull" than mine.
