Whoa! It was someone else that claimed S2000 outnumbered Boxster at SCCA 10:1. I said the ratio here is less than that here in both auto-x and track events. Then I corrected someone else who suggested the ratio is skewed due to there are “millions” of Honda, when in fact there are less S2000’s than Boxster’s on the road. Then I said I’ll leave it up to him to figure out why that is.
You believe the rumors running on that board? There probably won’t be a 2nd gen. S2000. Even if there was, no one would know about it b/c Honda keep info tightly sealed. I’ll bet you dinner though that there will an MY06, and then I’ll bet you dinner again there will be an MY07 S2000.
I don’t understand why you think your statement about the NSX would hurt me though, as I am not particular to any one brand. I just buy the best car I can afford.
And FYI the plan for S2000 was 5,000 units/year for US. It ballooned to what it is due to stronger demand than expected. Shortage in the first year drove its price up to 10k over MSRP in some areas such as Socal and Seattle/Redmond areas. I can’t say Honda is disappointed with its success.
“The only real midengined configuration that matters is when the engine is behind the driver.” See, this is exactly the kind of statements that makes me go, “hmmm…”
See, if more S2000's were sold, there would be guys like the one ealier that says something to the effect of, "I'd rather have a more limited production car," as if it would be somehow better. They don't sell 20k units/yr and here comes you saying Honda is somehow incompetent for not selling more. Can't win.
