Lightbulb Last year of car again....
My director came up to me today and said he was at the Honda dealer and was told it was the last year of the S2000, they were putting them away this year and taking them out again in a few more years. Do these salesman really think saying that will sell it????

The only rumor I want to hear is that they have realized the error in their ways and the 8-grand 2.2 motor is being dropped and they are returning to a 2.0, but with a revised 11,500 red.

I wonder how much HP they could push from the F20c if it could spin past 12,000 ???

That would be a very Honda-esque way to compete against the new Boxster and SLK's.

Gutted Miata with a 1000cc bike engine. I don't care if it is slow as hell, it'll be super badass revving that thing up to 12k on the street just to piss people off.

Yup! They don't care too much about the buyer who is already determined to by the car. Those will buy the car regardless. They are trying to seduce the "iffy" buyer who will get sucked in by any lie or the buyer who is looking for a "deal".

I would say none. Our HP starts dropping off at 9K.
