What Happened To The Honda S2000

[@FitmentIndustries]

Should Honda revive the S2000 after what they did to the Integra? COMMENT BELOW!! Wheels/Tires/Suspension 👇 www.fitmentindustries.com/

[@keeganfaulkner1240]

Why waste the name on what will inevitably be another sporty family car

[@binskee677]

Better not, so the existing ones will go higher up in value, thanks. Or bring a really bad electric version of it so the demand for the existing one will rise even further :D and thanks further hyping up the car! :D

Dear GOD no...Integras legacy is severly hurt from it, so dont do the same to the S2000 is all im going to say

[@binskee677]

[@marcjones744]

Trying to be realistic and not nostalgic, the inegra is exactly what i thought it would be...a better ilx.... based on the si...But now a 5 door. Doesnt look as good as the tlx tho. If they brought back the s2k... I think it would follow the original with a screaming type r engine, but it would be bigger because of safety requirements... They brought the nsx back and it was still a midengine supercar, but bloated for safety. all cars have to be now. They should have revived the s2k instead of the nsx

[@Illness.og.]

Finally feels like the S2000 is receiving the love is deserves. Everyone always talking about Supra’s, r34s, Rx7s, and etc and I never heard anyone talk about S2ks anymore. This makes me happy to own one.

@@trevlesh4742 damn Corvette probably the better deal then that's the problem with S2K. My 03 Z06 had 2 older owners always garaged everything mint needed nothing.

Instead of semi restoring a clapped out version since couldn't afford mint one 😂

[@EjinRenos]

The sales figures literally folded in half each year, until the final year it sold less than 100 and Honda decided to cancel it then and there even though the AP3 plans were finalized. One look at its direct competition, Mazda's MX5, only took a sales dip of a couple thousand, same with Porsche Boxster and Mercedes SLk, yet managed to keep going. People had woken up to the fact they can get a better car for just 15k more, or a slightly slower yet more agile car for 4 to 8k less. Didn't help with the S2k motor choice, feeling like a 1990 Civic until you reached its torqueband at 7k rpm. It's sad that this is probably Honda's best car made to date, NSX considered as well, but the S2000 successor, the S660, took a chapter from Mazda's book and manages to not only be faster and more agile than the S2000, it does so with less. Less cylinders, less horsepower, less weight, less rpm; it's just a shame it was only sold in Asia market. The S660 was cancelled when Japan announced it will only have electric cars by 2035, so unless Honda brings the S platform back as all electric, there will never be another S2000.

[@bossinirocks]

The s660 goes 0-60 in 11 seconds.

[@ayowser01]

The s2k is a better sports car than all the cars you mentioned- at any price point 😅 People overlooked the s2k, just like they did the nsx. It's not German and doesn't have any hp for bragging rights.

@@FitmentIndustries The ICE has provided me with so much enjoyment, via 2 wheels and 4, over the 50 years that I've been riding and driving (including a S2000 currently). But I honestly don't envision this technology lasting beyond 2050. Governments wouldn't even have to ban the ICE as they could simply drive up prices/taxes on fossil fuels to the point where nobody would pay them while making gas stations so hard to find it wouldn't be worth the trouble.

[@VirtualGuth]

The Elise is such an impressive car for what it is. I'd love to drive one (though the thought of damaging either the front or rear clamshell would terrify me from an ownership standpoint. While targa tops have their advantages, they can't match the sensory experience provided by a true convertible in my experience. Of course the Elise would make up for this in other ways, but given the value you've placed on refinement it does seem like a bit of a surprising choice.

Sadly, the same can be said for far too many other cars as well these days. The pandemic has had such a major impact on the prices for so many different things, not just S2000's. Though I've owned mine for less than 5 years, its value has nearly doubled in that time. While this is partly due to mine being white and all original, it's largely due to the pandemic. However, I wouldn't be surprised to see prices dropping to some degree if we can ever manage to get past COVID-19. Hang on to your money if you can bear to do so as many things will change post-pandemic.

my only regret is not buying a CR because I knew those would take off, but if I did buy one it probably would've been stored the entire time. Bought my black 05 s2000 with 53,000 miles on may 1, 2011. Was my first online car purchase and I was sold a dud. Engine seized on me within a few months, however I swapped a motor from a CR (had around 30,000 miles) and had to retain some components from the stock engine to have it run like normal. Car has been perfect ever since. When i pulled the original timing cover off to inspect, it looked like green jello was stuck everywhere. That engine is still sitting in storage, meant to sell it a long time ago. Car currently has a mishimoto full aluminum x-line radiator, stock top (no tears), modifry dci to retain factory dash control for the aftermarket radio/cd player, moddiction powder coated black anvil weighted shift knob, nvidia q300 dual exhaust with burnt titanium colored tips, and an izze engineering heat pump bypass so I don't throw codes for the heat pump being disabled (happened when the new motor was put in). Also has a nice foldout cupholder installed on the passenger side by the transmission tunnel, a storage organizer, and has a K&N filter. Valve cover was painted pearl blue, has a carbon fiber spark plug cover, and an aluminum clutch fluid reservoir. BC racing coilovers with swift springs have been in the garage for a year, but I only wanted to install them when I was ready to do a full suspension refresh with new ball joints, tie rods, and control arm bushings.

Honda sure knows what people wants. If they did it before, they could easily pull the trigger and do it again.
