I'll believe it when I see it. These rumors have been popping up ever since the S2000 went out of production. Having owned S2000s for 9 years, I don't know anyone willing to pay $59,000 (35,000 GBP) for one. Especially not when you can pick up one of the current ones for under $20K.

Hondas are great cars and shopped around for an S2000 before the buying the Z. I still imagine what it would be like to own it when I see one on the road. In the end, Honda will need to decide where to position their next roadster and my hunch is it will be in the 25 - 30k range. They will get in the ring with the Miata knowing they can take some candy from them.

To be fair, to make your cliche a bit more effective you should probably say oceanfront. Oklahoma has in excess of 55k miles of shoreline, so there's actually a fair amount of (lake) beachfront to go around.
But yes, Honda has been blathering on about a new NSX since 2007 - although their anticipated 2015 production target seems a bit more 'real' now. At least they're hinting at half-way exciting concepts - Honda has been wandering in the dark for well over a decade. Maybe Toyota's reentry into the sports car realm has woken them up a little. |
