Just an old S2k with a new front clip and rear bumper.

I would take those floormats in a NY minute.

They are probably trying to figure out how to move the last of their inventory from 2009.

As much as I like my S2000 and as much as I hope Honda brings a sports car to the market that is cheaper than the NSX, I hope they update the S2000 styling much more than that. Our cars are nice looking, but dated.

I really do enjoy being a car enthusiast. I feel that Honda really helped support the import car scene in the 90s and brought what it is now today. If honda can come up with another sports car (LIKE the TYPE R or the S2000) and something affordable, I feel that we all would be pretty happy. I dont know what their focus has been the past couple of years.... perhaps luxury? Their designs have changed quite a bit as well. I hope that they produce a vehicle to compete with their competitors and include what todays technology brings in autosports.

Their focus has been economy and value.

yea I guess you're right, I just dont see anything performance at all. I hope that they eventually switch focus or maybe gradually incorporate it back into their production

I heard a rumor kind of from the American Honda manager that comes to review our books, that they may be in the works to compete with the frs/brz. Something he overheard and that it would not be "s2000" level but more like the scion/subie. Who knows though, we all know about those rumors.
