It honestly looks like a bad joke. Can't believe Honda would put their name on that.

I would love for them to bring the car back, I was looking for one before I bought the FRS but every used one here they wanted 25k-35k anyway. So new car it is.

still cant believe that car was closed to 50k and same with the rx8.......

Hey when you have nothing else remotely exciting in the line throw a body kit on some old cars and call it a day.

They were supposed to be making a road car version of this:

But instead they got too focused on their boring "green" car image. Hopefully Toyota's return to sports cars will reignite some passion in them. But I've never been a big fan of Honda anyway so whatever.

Ugh, I remember back in the day I was looking forward getting a S2K before the Twin era. Before I was able, they were discontinued and that was a big slap in the face. Thank god the FT86 concept came out around the same time if I can remember. Looking at this, I feel really insulted. This just tells me that they don't care whatsoever what an enthusiast thinks and feels it's fine to bring some of it back only to milk money from enthusiasts because the boring cars are failing. I do think the new Accord is a good vehicle for my mother but other than that I hope Honda tanks so hard they'll have to look at the great vehicles they once made. Sorry for the rant guys but I absolutely despise Honda now.

Looks like the Suzuki Cappucino from Gran Turismo. Plus the chrome on the front looks odd.

I too was very loyal to Honda, having owned 6 Hondas/Acuras consecutively. What turned me off was the interior quality on my last one, a 2008 Accord. Compared to my previous TSX it was like day and night.

I'm so sad to see this from Honda. I came from a '06 S2000 and loved it to death. I would even consider getting one again because they are a lot of fun. I was never into convertibles but once I started driving the S2K..all doubts went out the door. I have no clue which direction Honda is taking lately with their FUGLY cars. Their cars no longer admirable. I think Ford has done a fantastic job lately of designing sedans and compacts. The Honda Crosstour was a disaster, the new Civic was unimpressive, and they killed off the S2K....sigh...

Looks just like the original S2000 with minimal updates. This reminds me of the Simpsons episode Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy. It was the same Malibu Stacy, but...
