Good point. S2000 is absolutely beautiful. Remembering back to when it first came to market, it hit on so many traditional elements in an updated package. Absolutely fantastic. (Too bad the interior is so damn small.)

Advances in efficiency and more cars getting 4 cylinder engines reminded me of this old advertisement. It's as though the opposite is now true!
