The back is pretty bad. The front really isn't all that bad, and frankly, I can forgive the back end since I like the idea of the car. Doubt we'll ever get it here, even with a bigger engine. It would be a tough sell, but I might buy one. I am a huge fan of the original Beat and have even considered importing one.

If that black plastic is the same as the stuff that populates the front air dam/fake brake vents of the Civic coupe, then it has roughly the same feeling as the plastic on takeout sushi trays. It's ok to make a cheap car - just don't make it so damn obvious... |

basically a go-kart that can skim over snowy roads because it doesn't weigh anything.

S2K fanbois will say this isn't underpowered because its a Honda, but 200 hp in the FRS is downright pathetic according to them, lol
And yes, I know this car isn't an S2K replacement... |

Not really. Most people on s2ki were tearing this thing apart just like you all are here. They did the same with the new Miata too.

Who is they? I haven't seen anyone say this. Sounds like you've got some unwarranted S2K hate, buddy. :P

Just a few more offical images
Honestly if they did make that higher output version it could really be the next S2000 or "S1000"
