2012 Honda S3000

weltall · 06-28-2009, 09:16 PM

i considered an 09 s2k until i saw the new 370z

now i just cant justify spending 34k on a 9 year old "new" car (i think you understand the point im trying to convey)

Honda has had a bad habit of making an incredibly desirable sports car (NSX S2K) and then adding new tail lights once every four to six years in order to 'update' them.

This new concept looks terrible. The S2K was an extremely nimble light-weight roadster. This thing looks like a bloated Miata

Agreed. Honda has had two world-beating sports cars now that they just let go. The NSX and the S2K should both have gotten regular, solid updates, and Honda would be taking Porsche's marketshare. I realize it's not a huge market, but Porsche makes $28K on average *per vehicle*.

Hope the S3000 is a good one, but I'm not expecting much. The performance numbers may be there, but hybrid drivetrains just aren't ready for the enthusiast cars yet.

I've decided to just sock away money for a Caterham CSR. There's a real enthusiast car. Too bad they're so much frickin' money.

Unfortunately, the modern safety regs say it will never be all that the original was. 1800 lbs., fun to drive, 50 mpg with the VX motor. *sigh*

That said, if they do something like a 2-door version of the Fit, without the high seating, it could be cool.

Well it will still be a fun car with a big engine probably have the K20 in it from what I have read. I still belive it will be fun.
