But he does have a point to a degree. A base Subaru STI brand new in 2005 was $32,030. A base STI in 2015 is $35,290. If you were to use an inflation calculator the 2015 STI should be $40,224.
At any rate I thought most of his post was spot on. Consider the engine in the S2K. That thing is still one of the most reliable engines on the road and S2K's, in general, are pretty bulletproof and inexpensive to maintain.
They were a bargain then and they are a bargain now used.
As a car enthusiast I would definitely be excited for a modern S2K as long as Honda does it right. Honda has new leadership and they have openly stated that they want to make exciting cars again and cater more towards a younger audience. About time. I like Honda products, my wife has driven them for well over 10 years now and they are uber reliable and great everyday vehicles.
Bring it on Honda.
