again. that's obviously your opinion and you have the right to have it. whats interesting is that it shows your perspective. in my experience, the S2000 is not known to be a "rip off" but rather, like the miata, its a prime example of how power isnt everything. people crap all over it because of its engine (4 cyl). but most people who've driven it, like it was meant to be driven, give it two thumbs up and understand what its all about.

Yeah I gave it a thumbs up too, it was a superb drive. But not a 38k drive.
This is getting pointless. The car isn't going to meet any super light weight goals...it's not gonna be 2500lbs. It's going to be in direct competition with many of the hot hatches, and it may be slower and definitely significantly less useful. It's not a recipe for success, unless it really performs. I guess we'll have to see what the final figures are, and then wait to drive it (which I'm still going to do).
