I've voted No simply because it is too niche and it would be a turn off to family & friends.

Honda is the unknown quantity at the moment and there is no point in attempting to contact them until I know that there is enough interest. It's a case of "who do I ask first" and it was always easier to get feedback from the forum initially.
I have thought of a more mainstream edition featuring sports/exotica but the S2Ki version, as some have picked up on, would be a souvenir/novelty edition simply to celebrate the site and the car. In this respect, the market is as much of a "niche" as the car itself, yet more so. I don't dispute that for one minute.
At this stage, the support is clearly divided (which I expected). It will really come down to the American market as to whether I proceed.

Licencing costs are NOT an issue.
Roadie knows what is needed to make it happen.

Perceived problems do not really centre on Hasbro as I know what the costs are with them. As you've read on my first post, we already have a contract with Hasbro/Winning Moves for an edition we're launching in March. It's not £20 a game.

You have slipped on S2000-specific diesel on a mini roundabout. Proceed directly to the insurers, do not pass the starting gantry, do not collect 200 Shell points.... I quite like the idea, good luck!
