Well yea, the S2000 is like the opposite of the Z. Everything in the car is plain old heavy and cheap steel, the specs are terrible for the money, but everything just feels great when you sit in and drive it. For what Honda intended that car to be, it is almost perfect. The Z is super bang for the buck, has lots of advanced materials and engineering throughout...but it just doesn't feel like a quality product, and the experience is kind of lackluster apart from the amazing speed.

This is one of my favorite threads. I hope everything lines up like it did last spring when I bought my car. I want one of these.

I'm sure it will have regular mirrors. Patent images something leave out this and that.

I had a 240Z for a long time, set up to be a street/track car. I kept the bumpers because I don't like that big gaping square grill opening up front without the front bumper. They shoulda copied the G-nose front end instead. Or broken up the opening with something, or at least given *some* fricking relief at the lower corners from the relentless squareness. It looks, really bad...

Well, everything is bigger these days. Have you seen the BMW M4 or Lexus grills? Fortunately for Japanese sports cars, there will be plenty of aftermarket bumpers and grills. I’m more fine with this than the bumper on the A90 Supra.
