Well teenagers need inspiration to become gearheads in the future. This is the best we got right now in terms of new "reachable" cars

I like the look of it. Wonder how much weight they added to the car?

Trying to read this sentence is like punching yourself in the face repeatedly... You are not a special and unique snowflake because you own an S2000. Get over yourself.


I would prefer it if they just made it a proper 2 seater, but that might end up looking pretty weird. No way I would ever buy the convertible version over the hardtop version. The S2000 was always designed to be a convertible, so it works very well.

I wouldn't be surprised if a manufacturer started making c/f or fiberglass h/t for this and someone actually buys and put it on the car. Totally defeating the whole convertible.

Best looking 4 seater convert I've seen . (minus Astons)

The OP insinuates youngins enjoying top down, rwd fun is a bad thing. Why hog all the joy for the older crowd?

To cheap cars that still leave a driver inspired.

Didnt mean to come off as bashing the car really. Didnt get my coffee fix this morning when i wrote it. Either way. this car will fly off the lot.

Not the finalize version and no numbers are posted yet. There soon will be only two brand new "cheap" sporty drop top you can buy. FRS and Miata. From the looks of things, many people are looking for something other than the Miata soo the FRS/BRZ drop top is the only other direction that they can go soon. It should fly off the lot.

This is considering that the tuner has not gotten their hands on it. I would love to see the numbers on this thing. Don't get me wrong, I like the FRS/BRZ twin. driven them both, I just like the S2K more.

Delete the soft top, add cage and hardtop and it should handle just fine. And yes, kids gotta start some where to become gear heads.

Sometimes I wish there was about 2 feet behind the S's seats to throw some stuff. There is absolutely zero cabin room in the S. It's like putting on a skin suit. Has it's pro's but it's by no means 'optimal'. I like the idea a sports car has two 'fake' back seats.
