Yup, Honda has said the new NSX will cost even more than the GT-R.

it felt longer because we were hearing rumors of the V10 car first and then it got cancelled then this one came out. The V10 ended up being in JGTC only and Honda was without anything for a long time. It felt long, it might not have been long, but it felt very very long.

I know what you mean. But the V10 HVS and the V6 hybrid NSX are two totally different cars.

I guess its kinda like saying we have been waiting since 2007 (FT-HS) for a new Supra. But in reality the 2014 FT-1 is a totally different concept.

Hey Honda how about another ITR or RWD 9000RPM NA FR convertible for under $40k please and thanks.

They mentioned the Third mid tier car here too, Rumors been around for a while it seems.

The S660 is a Kei car, never going to make it to the US, and besides it would be underpowered compared to a modern "sporty" car.

I wish they'd make it into a full size car though :/ Don't much care for Toyota's crappy engines, but they are the only Japanese manufacturer to have made low end MR cars and have stated the intention of making another one.

That's just a repost of the same article. A few websites have reposted it now. They keep converting the price to USD based on exchange rates too, which I think is wrong. I don't think it's going to be anywhere near $60k...

I enjoy the top-down aspect of the s2000 more than I ever thought I would.... but I'd still easily trade it for a more rigid, more aerodynamic coupe. Good hardtops for the s2000 are way overpriced. $4k and up...

Holy Crap! $4k for a hardtop?!!?!!! And here I am thinking I overpaid for the HT for my Miata ($400 + 450 for OEM glass/seals).

gramicci101 · 05-12-2014, 12:23 PM

If Honda went with a convertible hardtop like various Mercedes convertibles, would you pay more for it?

nope, still lose the structure of the top compared to a coupe design.

Tell me about it... I really want a hardtop, but I really DON'T want to pay for one. Many things for the s2000 are priced higher than they should be. I came from a 240sx, which has many affordable aftermarket parts, much like your Miata. All I can do is shake my head at the prices for some things for the s2000. I think I will be limiting my mods to coilovers, wheels, and eventually a supercharger. If I ever get a hardtop it will probably be a knockoff/replica. I can't see paying 4 grand for an frp roof.

Even if these rumors end up being true, which I think is maybe 5% likely, I just don't see the car appealing to the same kinds of drivers that the original S2000 did. Hybrid, AWD, likely no H-pattern, low redline turbo engine behind the driver, heavy curb weight, coupe are all very anti-S2000. I'm not saying it would be a bad car, or even a bad sports car, but it would capture none of the raw essence of its predecessor. I know I wouldn't buy one, even if it was "only" $35k with 300+ combined hp.
