New s2000 coming out

350hp turbo hybrid all wheel drive
Honda is out of their minds though if they think people will pay $60,000 for it when there are so many other cars in that price range (used GTR) that are better.

Vehicle: MC + RD2 + AW11 + 944 = 4x Win
I'm personally much more interested in the kei-car S660. That said the proposed s2k successor sounds good on paper, but with those stats its going to be a boring machine not even the equivalent of the S2k. As fun as the big beefy powerplant sounds, it's going to be nerfed by the weight of all he added gadgets that they'll no doubt try to shove in, not to mention that awd system. The Honda S-cars need to be simple, light weight fwd, 4 cyl roadsters. They need to step back from the GTR camp and pay more attention to Lotus. That's much more inline with the classic S-car. It wouldn't be a popular decision, but I'd be cool with doing what Porsche did with the Boxster Spyder: remove the top altogether and just supply some cheap emergency canvas.
35k sounds like a great value for all that listed though.
As much as the report claims 60K us, keep in mind that most cars cost about the same in British pound as they do in US bucks for several reasons. So when they claim £35k, expect a similar price tag over here.

Too bad that it will get conceptually chopped by the ND miata for like half the price (again)

FR-S and ND miata are guaranteed to be way less of a sports shoe/PS3 controller than some turbo AWD understeer machine
