I suspect that most everything that you hear now will be pure speculation, most of which will not be true.

Last year there was an amazing number of threads addressing the changes for MY04. Most of the threads were in the S2000 Talk forum, and most were laughable.

They seem to make the major changes every other year. I wouldn't be expecting too much new for '05.
(I can't believe it's that time already, but it is )

I'll tell you what I have "heard". Again, non-reliable sources, albeit sounding very legitimate.

For Canada, there are no changes save a few colour palette modifications for '05. For instance, Silverstone silver will now be available up here. (Was not in '04)

Other than that, no changes...

FWIW

My money is on very minor changes if any for '05. They just got done making a lot of changes for '04.

WHAT I WANT TO KNOW is the sales volume for '04 compared to '03 at this point in the year. Have the changes they made for '04 increased sales? This little fact may have a lot to do with answering this question...

Honda will introduce an all wheel drive version called the "Bushwacker." It will be raised several inches and have off-road capable tires on chrome wheels. It is expected that Nissan fans will make fun of it by calling it the "Weedwacker." Rick is already planning to offer a custom step stool to aid the chronically short in mounting the new model, and a camper kit that will transform your S2000 into a weekend cottage with a sink and toilet. Plans for an amphibious S2000 have been tabled until 2007, so you may want to wait.

You are thinking of the S2000 pick-up. This vehicle will be available in Tanzania only and will come in Monte Carlo Pink!
