I agree with who said el camino. 1970 Chevy El Camino SS would be nice. Or how about a cluster of history's greatest rcecars?

The car is yet to be annouced. Just mock ups from car magazine editors. Closest official thing i've seen is the EV-STER Concept.
Anyway, Honda wouldnt put a 3.0litre engine in a 2 seater roadster anyway, not good balance.

the Ariel atom uses a 3.0 Honda engine and that's a 2 seated, also seems pretty well balanced to me,

S2K was 200 hp but it was the 2000cc engine that gave it its name, S3K with an 3000cc engine....Nope, Honda are leading the efficency and economy route. Many 2litre turbo or supercharged running 300bhp (alot of S2K supercharged over here) but no 3000cc. Only Reason i mentione Magazines again is they love making cars up and guessing the rendering......
This no.
There is an OSM Concept along those lines...
But isnt really as pretty as the s2k, and is rumored to be based on the CRZ which is a cool little car.

Also the Morgan roadster, Alfa Romeo GTV, and if they don't get you going then what about a 7.0 2 seated sports car? The corvette.
Please if you don't know what you are talking about then please don't.

First ones were 2l K20A engine from honda, and V8 was a 3l Twin-Hayabusa engine.
Three things
1. Not what i ment, and not really drivers cars. MX-5 is a close rival or porsche Boxster S. S2K was designed to be a roadster from the start and not converted to one.
2. There great but they are the exseption that proves the rule. Small engine, Light weight and roof down = Great time on the road.
3. Not how honda works, there VTEC is what mke them them

Anything in the middle sounds wrong (honda s2500, honda s2876), so it has to be called s3000.
Doesn't have to be strictly a 3.0, for example could be a 3.5 (accord v6, the latest one is said to produce 300hp) or a hybrid (the direction honda is heading to), just like the s2000 AP2 model (2.2).

I still think the S will be dropped for a new model. If it goes bigger then MX5 would own the Roadster Category. And the S3000 would be entering 370z/Audi TT (3.2) terratory but just cant see it. With the NSX being V6 with electric motors, S-K will need to stay small to keep the gap between these cars. As long as its not FWD.
Only car thats comes to mind worthy of naming is the BMW Z4 has a 3.0i. Its ok but understeers a bit.

OK. Here we go,
1. If its not what you meant then why didn't you say what you meant? The MX-5 is a close rival to what exactly? I hope you weren't referring to a S2000, because If you were your miles off.
2. How can 3 exceptions prove a rule? In fact how can ANY exception prove a rule? Isn't that the job of an exception? To disprove things?
3. Not at any point did I mention how Honda "do things".
And after all this we forgot the NSX. Which IS made by Honda, HAS a 3.0 engine, IS a 2 seater and also made use of VTEC.
So to reiterate what I said before, please be sure you know what your talking about.

The s2000 was right in the middle, kind of a miata on steroids but not as expensive as a porsche. When it was released the s2000 was faster than a regular boxster and the 350z, on track and in stand still acceleration (plus miles sexier), though for a fraction of the money (particularly the first one).
They know how to do their affordable RWD sport cars. I think it'll compete with the Z4, which now is positioned on the market a lot more so than when it competed with the s2000, improved lots as a car and is more expensive.

And exceptions usually prove thing "jeremy clarkson wearing white glasses - still cool but not on him" meaning some try but not succeed. Morgan have always done that but old fashion design. Both Alfa and Corvette were Hardtops before so not a designed roadster.

And i mean Vtec is the way honda keep engine size down without turboing the engine. Even the 2.2 V6 is small for a V6 after all and thats thanks to VTEC.
NSX is a sports car with MR, S2K is FR roadster DIFFERENT. What would be a rival of the S2K then??
- 4,420
- nealcropper
A rival for the S2000? I would say probably the Porsche Boxster S, but even that is a stretch.
As far as I'm concerned the conversation wasn't about hardtops and soft tops. It was that Honda would not put a 3.0 engine in a 2 seater car. I have proved otherwise.
EDIT: I would like to tell you that I have also seen that episode of top gear that this whole conversation is centred around.

Actually
Roadster, so yeh, you never read it properly. But it'll never happen, one more reason is the S2k started as the Honda Sport Study Model Concept Car in 1995. Now the new Honda Open Study Model Concept Car from 2008, Hybrid is the future of honda (and looking at it, wouldnt get a 3l or even a super/turbo charger under there). But in Bad news, Could be a return to the Honda Beat instead due to the CRZ being a FF Chassic base.
Top Gear review cars so they compare rivals do they not?

I'll give you the fact that I never read it properly, because I didn't. That still doesn't prove that they never would do it. I agree with you on the hybrid thing though, although car company's have a funny old habit of doing things you don't expect.

It's going to be either:
- A Nissan
- A car Yamauchi recently purchased
- A new car a big sponsor wants on the game cover

Well the NSX seems to be shrinking but at no loss to the performance. Just hope Certain sites aren't correct with the BEAT thing, Kei car would kill its european market, and its great street cred. im just going on Honda History, Civic hasnt increased engine size but increased power,same with accord. The name weighs down possibilities but category doesnt. Beat x S2k = a good mix if the is the true plan, AutoExpress mentioned 1.5 Hybrid, could still be sporty .... i guess.
But if where talking unannouced cars. Ill wade in with the RX9, 16X wankel engine in a sleek back to Rx7 look body...Apparently.
