well I guess I'm in the minority but this car is a blast to drive. I agree the interior screams Honda at 9000 RPM's. The motorcycle engine and best in class gear box is an awesome combination. The all new rear suspension is a major step forward.
The engine sits behind the front shock mounts which give it a different feel from any front engine car. Braking is not quiet 911, but still more than above average.
And of course the car is bulletproof. The thing I don't like is that the driving position is not all to my liking. But drop in some Recaro Pole positions and maybe..

The guys at my local autocross/track clubs all seem to share my opinion that this is the best performance car for the $.
Interesting, one guy I know who is wicked fast (instructor) loves the S2000 above all others. Another guy who used to race in junior formulas has an 2005 S2000 and would trade for my BoxsterS in a heart beat.

But I'll take a new NSX.
