New Honda S2000?
 
Just found this article, there may be a new Honda S2000 in the works, but it won't be anything like the previous S2000.

Honda S2000 to be reborn

kenchan 05-11-2014 12:07 PM

i wouldnt mind having a s2000 coupe.

kenchan 05-11-2014 12:08 PM

i would mind having a corolla-s

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.

Eclipz 05-11-2014 01:26 PM

Yes, the price is ridiculously high. But who knows, maybe Honda won't even make it.

Jordo! 05-11-2014 02:24 PM

Hm. I'd be happy to add that to my future car wish list.

God, I hope it's rear wheel drive.

I am selling some property in Oklahoma. Beachfront.

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.

Old news is still new to me :) Give him a break lol

I love the fact that Honda is talking to bring back the S2000. It was one of my dream cars back in highschool. The difference is that now I can afford it as a weekend car. Well, not at $59k. Under $40K sounds better.

UNKNOWN_370 05-13-2014 06:09 PM

Another Honda Maybe, Might, We don't know? It's 10 years later and still hasn't happened story... :yawn:

Cell 05-13-2014 06:11 PM

60k... I'd rather buy a used GTR or a new corvette.

kenchan 05-13-2014 06:16 PM

yah, a MT vette would be nice..

Trips 05-13-2014 06:33 PM

Merged

UNKNOWN_370 05-13-2014 06:41 PM

I have white stains all over my 2015 corvette z06 pics. :leghump:

UNKNOWN_370 05-13-2014 06:44 PM

The comeback honda's... Still waiting?

equalme 05-13-2014 06:53 PM

$30-35k would be the sweet spot for the s2k. If they price is that high I'd rather get a used GTR or a fairly new Lotus.

GTR/Lotus would be the only cars I'd ever consider upgrading from the Z. I still need to buy a damn truck though since I can't haul anything around at the moment.

The new c7 vettes are nice...but I LOVE the look of the c6 z06...if only it had a nicer interior.

b15 05-14-2014 09:40 AM

I saw this and am interested to see what comes to fruition (if anything).

Eclipz 05-14-2014 04:57 PM

I saw a FastLaneDaily video and they have a source that said it would be in the 30k range.

eastwest2300 05-14-2014 05:06 PM

I own a s2000, its my DD, and I tell you, its definitely one of the best cars I've ever owned, its so much fun to drive. I hope they do in fact come out with something new at price not even close to $60K, I'd be seriously interested.

bvl 05-18-2014 04:57 AM

Lot of speculation. I found it humorous they actually printed 350HP and Civic in the same sentence. A Civic. FWD people mover. Aaah, no.

From a historical perspective I would like to see Honda keep a RWD platform like the S1000/1500/2000 alive but sales numbers are not going to make it profit car compared to their entire lineup. Had the S2000 still been in production not sure I would have ended up with our ZR.
