I hope Honda takes notice and updates the s2k unlike the NSX.
But if GM or anyone else comes out with a roadster I like more than the S2000, for the right price, I'll drop my Honda like a hot rock.

Regardless of any arguments, it is the best looking GM product... Albeit I rather prefer GM would put Pontiac badge on Opel Speedster and did not touch anything else...

IF it's designed like the Corvette, the windshield frame actually meets the roll over requirements for fixed roof cars. Also, most "roll bars" in convertibles are hardly more than style bars and provide little roll over protection compared to what SCCA would require.

I think it's a good idea, but I'll definetly be keeping my S. I don't think it looks that great, especially with the top up. The top looks a little awkward.

if it comes in at the promised $20,000 it does not look like a bad deal at all, but I don't want one! I stick with my 5 year old handling machine.

Um... no. The Z8 was beautiful. This thing is hideous from the front. I can tolerate the rear though. Personally, I prefer the Sky.

At least the sky has a usable front bumper. I am so hung on the front grille and I don't know why.
