You NYC ballas!!!
My parents live in NJ, an hour outside of NYC. So I've got a free place to crash and a short drive up to NYC

I goto the NYC Auto Show pretty much every year -- The DC Auto show unfortunately ends up being mostly last year's stuff.

So this is real? This isn't like the "news" of them canceling the S2000 in 03, 04, 06, and 07? I'm sure it will be out of my budget, but it sounds like a pretty nice car with all those upgrades (if it comes out).
This news is on hondanews.com (Honda's official Press Release website) so this isn't just a rumor. It could be an April Fool's Day joke, but it would be a pretty mean one if that were all it was.

cthree posted some "reliable" information in the S2000 Talk thread that seems to contradict what was posted in this thread -- Namely that the CR would be a permanent hardtop version of the S2000.

I guess we'll all know in a few weeks! Even so, the CR at the NYC Auto show will most likely be a "concept" car that gives as Honda loves to say a "strong indication" of what the production version will be like.

Say goodbye to a real replacement to the S2000

I guess we'll just have to be happy with whatever this CR turns out to be...

errr, i take this back - sort of. the fool that works there *ducks* now told me that the HT will be bolted onto the body of the car rather than using the current (separate) hardware.

i really want to see the dash, bumper and spoiler on this thing - supposed to be all new.
I posted this just 20 minutes before your post, Ryan. It alludes to the fact that the hardtop will be bolted in. Both alejo and cthree's comments come from the same thread in R&C.

If a hardtop were anymore pernament, it would be a coupe.

Hmmm...hopefully they'll add an oil catch can sense they're emphasizing tracking with it.

I want to buy this car in a bad way, I just don't think there's anyway I can afford it. to anyone that buys one.

On the flip side, if it's close $40k, I think I'd rather take a C6 base model or Elise. Just food for thought.

Unless this car has really trick brakes, engine, trans, diff. You are spending more for less.

You can find a good shape AP1 for 14-17K, spend 10K to 15K on upgrades and have a car that will peform the same or better IMO.

Haha thats a pretty good point George. I hadn't thought of that. I was too wrapped up in the idea of finally seeing a new S.
