Default Clarkson likes S2000 - shock !

From yesterdays Sunday Times, "There were sports cars in the Sixties and Honda does a wonderful sports car now: the S2000. " Perhaps he's not such a bad guy after all

The article was actually about the Accord Tourer, which did not get such a good press.....

JC's love of the S2000 is well know and documented. Watch his '100 best cars' vid. for example...........

Indeed, good to see this in print and in a National Newspaper, can't do any harm for future S2000 sales either...

I read the same Sunday Times article on the Accord - he basically says the engine is good, the gear change is sublime, as is the suspension, its very practical, but he thinks its ugly so gives it three stars!

Even the Financial Mail on Saturday had something about the S and the new NSX in those PR people at HUK must be hard at work. nothing stunning in the mail though.

Name dropper !!

Interesting that Clarkson loves the car and Vicky Butler-Henderson loves it so much she bought more than one of them !
Tiff personally didn't like it because he's more of a grunty TVR chap but still gave it a good review.

It must be good.

Glad VBH likes them but unfortunately IIRC VBH doesn't have to pay for hers Honda give her one for nowt. She even takes the airbox off. She leaves it in the kitchen cupboard and this is at least her second S2000.
