Dear God, Don't let them deestroy the S2000 with such an ugly fascia. It looks like the S2000 threw up in its own mouth and is trying to keep it in.
BlitZ This car reminds of a clip in Batman with Jack Nicholson. The part where Joker asks his girl to take off her mask and show her new face to Vicki. Her face is all messed up from the chemicals. Last edited by Blitzkrieg; 12-27-2012 at 12:34 PM. |

I wonder if Honda realized what they did when they stopped making the S2000? How much $$, etc... was lost? And their reputation?
I, for one, would love the S2000 to come back, especially if the BRZ comes over as a convertible. BRZ is showing that there is a market for nimble RWDs still. And I run out of fingers and toes counting the people that had an S2000 and now have BRZs. --kC |

If they have any sense or soul left, they will bring back the S2000. The AP1 S2000 was an amazing drive for the money. It was simply a fantastic, focused, driver's car that still gives me goose bumps when I think of some of time I spent at the wheel of one. It was/is Honda at their best.

Ooof. Not to mention no hardtop ruling it out for me. I guess Japan's as out of ideas as Hollywood.

It's like they tried to make it as ugly as possible.

I just don't understand what the hell they are thinking nowadays. |

I swear i remember seeing a dealer mark up's on the last remaining s2000's that put it just north of $40,000. I just remember thinking that exact thing.

I loved my AP1, but if it's priced the same, I couldn't justify it. Excellent handler, but for that price, I need something more powerful. I got a 2000 S2000 in Spring of 2004 for low-mid 20s I believe and that was an excellent value since it only had 10K miles on it. The first year they came out, they were only like $32K I believe.

Which is why I never considered one. It falls to prey to what happens when you try to justify a BRZ. "$25K for the 'base' model? **** it, I'm getting a WRX" except replace WRX with STI and $25K with $35K in the case of the S2K. Granted not everyone's going to cross-shop those cars; I have a broad field of view when I think about how much car I'm getting for my money. |

Wow they made that car look terrible with all the chrome and that abomination up in the grill. That's pretty impressive to take a car as good looking as the S2000 and make it look like crap. If only it had the CR-Z drivetrain, the fail would be complete.

I doubt this is the real update. It looks like its just a crappy bumper update of an AP2. Why would they release the same car after a 5 year hiatus?

There is a lot of cars that come back to life. Regardless, this looks awful and I really hope this is not the real deal.
