Yup that’s it the S1500. I still am a big Honda fan. But just wish it came with a little more juice. Has anybody seen the new Honda Beat its cool looking I can’t upload pics via my work computer (its yellow as well).

ahhhh, S1500. not bad. i dont mind the 137hp or watever it will come in.

my 5MT Fitsport can zip up to 60mph with its lawnmower engine in mid/low7sec on a cold day (faster than BRZ by half car lengh). that vert at near 2000lbs will probably do 6sec. plenty fast for me.

I'm also a Toyota Fan and my first new car was a 1986 Toyota Corolla SR-5 because the GTS was very limited in my country.

it's not called an AE86 anymore.. it's an FT86... so no, it shouldn't be called a corolla..

I love all sorts of cars... not really a fan boy tho

All I’m saying is that if the S2K was 240hp the Si is 201hp give it at least 180hp or retro Si of 160hp. Either way I’m glad Honda has several convertibles in there line up (S1500, Crz Roadster and the Beat) I Wonder which vert will have the upper hand.

looks like they mocked up the discontinued saturn/pontiac convertible to me with honda symbols.

LunaZ · 09-17-2013, 12:27 PM

The throwback front end is great!

you mean the sky? not sure of the resemblance?

or pontiac solaris

Considering this would slot in price-wise below the Miata, how much car would you really be getting? I've got nothing against Miatas, but it's not like the market is looking for a vert for people who don't want the raw power of a MX-5.

I can kind of see it

jofro6 · 09-17-2013, 12:55 PM

more so the pontiac solstice... i just listed them both since they were sister cars with the same motor. especially from that back/quarter view
