I don't care that it's a bit funky looking - I want one. Give me tiny sports cars. I respect Honda for even doing another car in the Beat's spirit.
I hope that the S1000 rumors are true, but frankly I'd take an S660 in a heartbeat.

I still think it's a bit ugly, but I'm semi-excited for a US/Euro spec model with a bigger engine. I hope it rapes the Miata simply because of the mid-engine design. New autocross gokart king!
Has the suspension been detailed anywhere yet? I don't believe I've seen that yet. Wondering if it uses macpherson struts like modern, lazy Honda or more old school, classic, no-compromise double wishbone Honda? |

I've watched a decade of fanbois FAP over the GT-R and now that 25 years have passed they are snapping up rusty R32s with half-blown motors for double the price. The heart wants what the heart wants.

You were spot on with that. Truth be told with better power output and that 6-speed I'd be interested.

I am so, so, SO sad to say that my dad has pre-ordered one of these and was excited to break the news to me.
His reasoning was that he's "getting old" (he is barely 52) and wanted something easy to drive. Doesn't make sense to me, seeing that there's currently a BMW 1series, Cayman, and multiple motorcross and motorcycles in our garage... Will test drive and post pics when i return to the homeland this summer. |

Besides the MR-2 Spyderman, it reminds me of the old Del Sol's. Anyone? Del Sol 2.0?

Kei cars will never be sold in North America unless gas gets REALLY high and we agree with the Kyoto Accord (never). THere was a Honda Beat on the lot of a local RHD dealer where I live. It was sooooo small (but cool). Japan is a very different part of the world.

I don't think it's likely either but the fact that Honda PR is playing into the interest is promising. |

PS Smart cars are a flop in the US but very successful in Europe. Even Canada had them years before the US.
