Think we'll have to agree to disagree on the S2000. A front-mounted, naturally aspirated 2.2 I-4, doesn't hold much fascination for me, particularly when you have to rev it to 6800 just to get 162 lb-ft of torque, which is measly, even by Boxster standards, for a car only marginally lighter.

And did I mention that it's ugly? No? ... it's ugly, and draws attention...in a bad way. It's inherently a ricer, a Civic with the roof removed. To each his own, and if you're an S2000 luvver, good fo you, but there's about 157 other cars I'd rather own.
