The poster has quotes from a thread Dave (dlq04) started in 2003! Not sure if it is something y'all would be interested in.

Here's a free version. Copy and size as you like to put with your own car.
And remember "Quoting one is plagiarism; quoting many is research."

● Imagine if Formula One engineers built a sports car; well, they did (Motor Trend) ● The perfect roadster (Automobile magazine) ● As long as Honda continues to build the S2000, we’ll be sure to save a spot for Honda right next to the prancing horse (Edmunds) ● Because it existed at all– it is legendary already (AutoWeek) ● The most intense open two-seater you can buy south of Ferrari prices (Car & Driver) ● More juice per cylinder than a $169,000 Ferrari 360 Modena (Forbes) ● You’re convinced you are a hideously overpaid Formula One pilot/god (Ward’s Auto World) ● May well be the cause of some sleepless nights in Germany (Road & Track) ● The spunkiest, most satisfying mainstream sports car since the 1962 Porsche 356B (Los Angeles Times) ● If you’re driving this car with the top up, the storm outside better have a name (The Car Connection) ● Did I mention this is the most fun car I’ve ever driven! (Automotive-Review) ● Equivalent of comparing an Olympic sprinter (S2000) with the hero of the high school track team (Miata) (Detroit Free Press) ● Take it out once and you’ll drive it in your dreams (The New York Times) ● It feels as if the buzz, the excitement, is coming not from the car, but from within your skull, perhaps your soul (USA Today) ● One of the great engines, definitely top 10, probably top 3 (Car magazine, UK) ● A screaming performance car bargain (Motorweek) ● A four-wheeler with crotch-rocket DNA (Car & Driver) ● The closest I’ll ever come to being in the pilot’s seat of a vintage Formula One car (About Cars) ● Porsche, BMW, and Audi charge thousands more for this level of performance (Automobile magazine) ● A purist’s sports car (Car and Driver) ● Its 240 horsepower screams like a caged cat (Kansas City Star) ● Magically transforms from vanilla roadster to kamikaze attack plane (Edmunds) ● Feels like nothing less than a Formula Ford with bodywork (Sport Compact Car) ● Makes even ham-handed and -footed drivers feel like F1 ace Michael Schumacher (Car & Driver) ● When the VTEC systems switches to maniac, all hell is let loose (TopGear, UK) ● Romp through the slalom is among the best we’ve ever seen (Road & Track) ● If you’ve ever dreamed of a race car for the street this is it (Automotive-Review) ● Open-top roadster from the ‘60s is back with a vengeance (Fort Worth Star-Telegram) ● No question, Honda has bragging rights.. astonishing 120 bhp/liter in the process, with piston speeds that exceed those in Formula 1 racing (Road & Track) ● Some cars seem perfect straight from the factory .. S2000 is arguably one of these vehicles (Honda Tuning) ● The finest four-cylinder engine in the world (Straight - SIX) ● The S2000 is everything a sports car ought to be (Washington Post) ● If the Boxster wins hearts in the showroom, it's the Honda that will win souls on the road (Top Gear, UK) ● The S2000 is sensational (Auto Extremist) ● In the S2000, I’m a raging asshole. I want to hit 9000 RPM at every shift, every stop sign requires threshold braking and every corner is a power slide.
