Report: Honda Mulls Bold Answer to Scion FR-S

If they want to be at 2000 lbs for only $20,000 they either have a magic (cheap) new technique for fiber/composite, or they need to take a competitive approach to the safety and emissions rules. Find some loopholes or start cheating.

The only 2 sport coupes that come to mind are the Honda Beat or the Crz roadster.

But I have a feeling their talking about the S1500. Seen here: SCOOP: HONDA WORKING ON RWD COMPACT SPORTS CAR | GT Channel
Seems pretty weak to me 132hp lol! They should have put in a K series Si motor.

not really weak when you consider they can do 8 second 0-60 in the fit when equipped with a manual and seeing as the fit is around 2500lb and has only 117hp i could see 132hp in a car weighing only 2000lb breaking into the high 5's low 6's with the right gearing a very possible scenario which would actually make it pretty quick and right up there with the 0-60 time on the FR-S/BRZ
