Its is firstly a sedan) I agree with you Deodarant, but maybe those people have yet the chance to sit in the back seat of a four seater coupe or roadster (and no, the CLS does not count as a coupe.

Every single 4-seater convertible I've been in, the back seats are only good for 6-year olds, dogs, or shopping bags. Am I the only one who doesn’t think 4-seater convertibles are a good idea?

Some of us actually understand what the s2000 is all about. Although I agree a more powerful engine would be nice, i totally disagree about the noise. The Honda s2000 is all about spirited driving, thats why it never had that many luxury options in the first place. The engine was meant to rev loud, the same way its suspension was meant to be stiff. And I'm quite sure the 350z has always been quite pricier. As with the Rx-8, it looks like crap and I'd pick the s2000 over it any day. topgunthang: Not everyone thinks like you.

Anyway, I was saying to Jeffrey1977: Having said so, it wont be called s2010 just because it will be released around that time. @cbljkkj: i couldnt have said it better myself. @ckengyo: drifting isnt everything, its just a fad mostly among professional driver wannabes. The s2000 is famed for superior handling, and here you are saying it shud be involved in a sport all about losing control. whoops, connection problem left the other part of my comment out.

The champion formula for the S2000 is the raw power, lack of trims which gives it the ability to really handle like a sports car. By adding additional trim and 2 extra seats, its going to ruin the fun factor and economy of the car. Basically more weight spoils the performance, handling etc. The S2000 is rumored to have a higher cornering speed than the NSX. Either way if Honda are planning to replace it with a successor, they have a car standard they have to live up to and supercede.
