If your ego can't live with the fact that there's a Honda badge on the nose.

If U use to love big push at 1000 rpm and are scared of push the accelerator 'cause U think U will break the car and you are scare too of the noise, and if when you feel that so big and strong force pushing in your back... (DONT MISUNDERSTOOD THIS), and if you love to travel gently across the highways listening to cassical music, and also don't buy it if you want to know what time is it...

If you actually enjoy spending time with you family.....(I suppose I could just stop coming to s2ki...)

If you can't handle having you car mistaken for "that new BMW convertible"

If you live in New Orleans > where the potholes out number the cockroaches. (actually it is like a continue evasive driving couse, complete with debris and missles)

if you can't drive a stick.

if you need to tow a boat

if you have 5 kids and can't afford another car

if you daily commute includes the Rubicon

if you won't spring the extra 20 cents a gallon for premium

if it always rains where you live (iam pretty close here in washington but get a few breaks)

if you insist on buying the cheapest lowest quality tires available (my dad)

if you're 7 foot 5 and weigh 450 lbs.

If you want to spend $12,000 more for an Audi TT that is a lesser quality car.

If you want to buy a new Corvette and lose $8000 in depreciation the moment you drive off the lot.

If you want to be one of 20,000 people this year to buy a hardtop 3350 Z

If you want to settle for less and get a Mazda Miata or a Toyota MR2

If you want to spend $15,000 more for an odd looking Z4 with a leftover engine in it.

If you've totally lost your mind and want a Mustang GT Convertible.

If you don't want a 4 wheeled motorcycle.
Because:
1) Same amount af luggage capacity
2) Same amount of passenger capacity
3) Both not recommended in rain
4) Both are recreational-TOY
5) Both have same type of engine characteristics
6) Both handle speed well
7) Both corner like on rails
8) Both need a caring owner
9) Both need a sympathetic significant other

Oh,

10) if your significant other is the reason they put speed bumps in the buffet line, she'll complain getting in and out AND your motorcycle will do involuntary wheelies

If you want to wait for the S2.2 with higher torque which corrects of the very few flaws in this otherwise astounding true sports car.
