Default Honda XGA in April Road and Track

I am not sure if it hit the newsstand yet, but I received the April issue of Road and Track...and there is a section with a sneak preview of Japanese sports cars.

Seems like Honda might come out with a new Acura NSX, and the XGA to replace the s2000.

Here is the first paragraph in the article:

"The internal name give to the s2000's replacement is XGA. We had thought all along that the XGA would be a 4-door sports car showcasing Honda's SH-AWD system used in the RL and its advanced hybrid technology ( remember the dual note concept car? ). Well, now we're hearing the company is leaning towards producing a coupe based on the RL platform, but equipping it with either the v-8 or v-10 for the NSX replacement."

This should be very interesting...

Doesn't sound like an s2000 replacement at all.

Yeah, what I'd been hearing was more of an NSX replacement and then an upgrade/replacement of the S2000

Can someone either post some scans or attach a link for what it is you describe?

Looks like an 8 year S2000 run - very respectable. There are many niche cars that get pulled after 2 or 3 years. As a previous poster said, Honda has a method of sending great cars to retirement, but they never completely leave something sporty out of the lineup.

Sounds more like a CL replacement. The S2000 isn't going to be "replaced" by a vehicle that is completely different. If anything, it'll be phased out and a brand new, unrelated vehicle will takes its place.
