What I was getting at is that I think you guys are way too hard on the S2K. Honda's main failing with it was how long they kept it with minimal changes, beyond the 2.2L/rear suspension change.

Putting it in perspective of when the S2K was released, it was an absolutely epic car and not really over-priced. The fact that when it retired last year, it still wasn't an embarrassment to itself when compared to cars that were a decade newer, says something about how good it was.

We will be fortunate if the FT86 could do the same (but I'm not super-optimistic about that).
