oh okayy thanks guysss

 

I hope you're not saying VSA and DBW is why it started to decline VSA, it can be turned off, and I think a lot of the market would be interested in it. I personally am glad to have it for inclement weather, and when I don't want it I can easily turn it off. DBW I could see being a problem only if there weren't tuning options at the time, and that would only affect some of the buyers.

However your assertions that maybe it had to do with the recession and lack of performance boosts over the decade I would say is spot on. Honestly, I think as long as the automotive industry and economy didn't go bust, it would probably do well enough to stick around another year or two.

Anyway, I don't mind, I have one Hope they bring a new one someday that's even more awesome, but I don't have faith in that happening. At least, not until their 100th anniversary.

 

anyone ever seen a S2000 commercial? Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Toyota, Nissan, I see a bunch of their cars, I don't ever remember seeing a commercial with the s2000 as the main attraction...

 

I believe it wouldn't pass pedestrian crash standards with the low hood line, otherwise they probably would have continued to outsell the ZDX with production year #11.

 

I dont see a reason why HONDA would have continued the production of the s2000. First of all the s2k was made to celebrate their 35th anniversary and second Honda set out to prove what HONDA is capable of, and they did a fine damn job! Thats it, point proven end of s2k period.

 

They should have continued so I could have bought a brand new one and been an original owner forever. BUT NO.

 

I don't see where the data supports this. The table was already set for the decline for other reasons. I sincerely doubt DBW and VSA had anything to do with it. These features have as many proponents as detractors.

No automatics.

 

The car was super dated by 2010. Underpowered, too expensive, and bad mpgs. like honda had done with the prelude, crx, and nsx the s remained highly unchanged for many years and was behind in efficiency and technology.
