Very Interesting

Whatttttttttt?!
I thought they were stopping production of the S2000?!

phelan 05-28-2009 03:46 PM

saw that this morning on autoblog, and loved one guy's comments about the "new" s2000 looking like the product of a GT-R, SLR, and EVO IX all mating. That front is hideous...

and does it look like it's sagging to anybody else??

XBadgerX 05-28-2009 03:49 PM

Way too much going on in the front. Miss my S2K, was like driving an oversized go kart.

fly yellow 05-28-2009 03:51 PM

It does look like the front end is drooping. It's all a bit over the top, but last I heard Honda is scapping the s2000. They want to model themselves after Toyota with a bunch of fuel efficient, unsafe, and over priced hybrids, that nobody wants to drive, but the government may make us drive.

AK370Z 05-28-2009 03:54 PM

I think front looks Lancer and headlights are carbon copy of GTR. Although, I love S2000s. 2009 is the last year for S2000.

XBadgerX 05-28-2009 03:58 PM

Why would they stray away from the traditional roadster even with it being a concept?

CBRich 05-28-2009 04:01 PM

Looks like it would slot in better with the new Acura lineup. And by slot in I mean this thing's nearly as ugly as the TL.

CrownR426 05-28-2009 04:08 PM

Looks pretty nice! I hope people around here get it!

side view looks like a lancer coupe. but overall, not really feeling the design of car.

CantZme 05-28-2009 04:37 PM

Simply that design sux..

Anatoray 05-28-2009 04:38 PM

It's like the Lancer and RX8 had a bastard child and spliced in some DNA from the Soltice. Someone should tell the designer that the very IDEA of "shark" become uncool in every way the SECOND Fonz jumped the shark.

nogoodname 05-28-2009 04:48 PM

too bad it will most likely stay as a concept

370Ztune 05-28-2009 05:12 PM

I will choose this S2000 over the new concept any day.

nogoodname 05-28-2009 05:14 PM

^^ I wouldn't want either, but if i had to choose..it would be the concept over that one

semtex 05-28-2009 05:16 PM

From the side:

It looks 'pigeon-toed' to me, if that makes any sense.

nogoodname 05-28-2009 05:18 PM

I take it back.....i don't like the concept anymore...lol

it looks very thin, wonder how small is the engine

Anatoray 05-28-2009 10:37 PM

It looks thin because of that line on the side. Its also the reason the front looks like its drooping down. Seriously, I love the S2000, but that, if it became a reality, would kill my love for the car.

BanningZ 05-28-2009 10:42 PM

^ I think your in luck. Sounds like 4-5 years before they put any money to the S project. But who knows they may surprise us all.

I agree though I'm not really a fan of this puppy.

GreenJalapeno 05-29-2009 12:26 AM

don't expect it to look anything like this. Concepts and clay models are generally used as base inspirations to build upon other more practical concepts.

I'm going into trans design at art center of pasadena and all my professors say this has 100% no chance of looking anything close to that

fly yellow 05-29-2009 01:07 AM

It appears as if the Z will be the last man standing as far as Japaneese sports cars that are somewhat reasonably priced.

It's sad when you think of all the great cars that used to be out there. The Supra, MR2, even the Celica. Then you had the Prelude and the S2000.

I think within the next 2 years the only American sports car left might be the Mustang. It really is sad.

ZYUL8R 05-29-2009 12:11 PM

Yeah especially if the corvette goes to pot...it is a sad day..but at least the Z is alive and well.

snotrocket 05-29-2009 08:37 PM

i really hope that is not the direction honda is taking the s2000.

this is more like it.

GreenJalapeno 05-30-2009 12:12 AM

^ the s3k is the more proper concept. expect the next model to share characteristics from that concept sketch

Junior370z 05-30-2009 12:33 AM

I looks like it belongs in the speed racer movie! I like the s2k but this is UGLY!

I don't think the vette and the stang is going anywhere any time soon either...
