Looks good! (As a render/Concept). Hopefully Honda will bring it back .

Fast Lane Daily said that the S2000 or something like it could make a comeback.

We're Livin in the fast lane baybe
Tunin in to Fast Lane Daily... :tup:

yah, been hoping they would make a comeback. definitely interested! :D

and it will pound the japanese hyundai to the ground, i hope!

:mad:

That rendering is sweet..doubt if it will look anything like it. Had the an s2k when it first came out..was not that impressed no power at all and screams like its going to blow up reving to 9k. Only thing I liked was the stock recaro seats.

S2K was definitely a momentum car. I drove a friends with bolt ons and suspension and it was a lot of fun.

My 13 year old FD3S was much more fun it this was before I went single turbo.

Probably will hit the market right around the same time the Z36 does.

This is me holding my breath.

I think you mean z35...current 370z code name is z34.

I had two S2000s before the Z and I loved the car. In fact, I was looking for something with similar driving characteristics but with just MORE of everything (power, refinement, features) and that led me to the Z. I'm excited that Honda may bring it back, but if they're targeting the Miata demographic (which makes business sense because it's got to sell and be profitable to be realistic), I don't think it's going to be anything I'd be interested in. I always felt the car needed at least another 50hp...

Trust me... I meant what I said.

Which is.... never?

pretty sure it's all rumors. That's not an official rendering by any accounts. I don't think there's been any credible word that they are looking at making an s2k successor.

even if honda did release one, id need to know wat the benchmark mx5 can do and wat mx5 ownership is all about.

only then will i be able to make a valid critique on any j-roadster..

:iagree::iagree:

I love honda. I hope this actually comes to production.

Cuz we know Honda sucks... Lol. Honestly, I prefer Hyundai Kia by a pretty large margin. This is how I would list them going through there prospective model ranges and looking at them visually.

1. Mazda
2. Nissan
3. Kia
4. Subaru
5. Hyundai
6. Scion
7. Honda
8. Mitsubishi
9. Toyota

I'd say Fords nowadays have some of the best visually stimulating models today. Mazdas are typically gorgeous though.

I was rating JDM/KDM only. Hence no American or other national car brands... Ford's doing pretty good, but I think all the American companies follow a generic design path. There are a couple of model exceptions that are outstanding but... American cars are... Well, American cars... Lol.

Korea cuz there cars basically really try hard to be Japanese... And honestly they're doing a great job.

Fixed for the infidel. :roflpuke2:

Is South Korea part of Japan now?

Korea, Japan, Japanese company headed by a French-Lebanese-Brazilian, who cares amirite? :roflpuke2:


Also, good to see a familiar face on this board, RZ.


Edit: bottom line, I personally like hondas. I had an acura that I loved. The s2k was a fantastic enthusiast car and I hope they bring it back. More competition at different market levels brings out the best in other companies as well.

I like Honda too - when they actually produce, they produce awesome stuff. It only took them 28 years (for you literal readers, that was intentional exaggeration) to make the NSX happen. Christ, Marvel put out like six movies after they debuted the concept of it at the end of the first Avengers movie, including a whole second Avengers movie (that did not have an NSX in it).

At the rate things are going, I'd say we're more likely to see Ben Affleck return as Daredevil onscreen before we ever see a new s2000.
