Thumbs up Whats next ?

With so many people coming off leases or getting itchy about the latest greatest thing;what you would want to get next ?

If you have already got rid of your S2000 and went to another brand already,why did you do it ?

I'll start ......my lease is up in August 07 and I'm at a sort of crossroads.

I love my S2000 and would trade for another but the MY07 just doesn't get me excited (Sorry Honda)
They haven't raised the bar or evolved the car much since 2004;I look at other brands and I see so much more factory involvement (excitement)in their sportscar models.

Note to Honda : Convince me to buy/lease another new S2000

Range Rovers are garbage after 30k miles, I would stay away from them. People love them for the bling though, and the fact that you can get a 2 year old one for 30k+/- w/ around 30k on it.

Popeye: Why dont you buy a nice clean low milage AP1? They can be had these days for a good price.


I plan on buying a decent DD (used TL/G35) when I enter the "real world" if I dont receive a company car, I hope to get a company car though, that way I can save for another toy.

Im keeping my S FOREVER.

Popeye,
Of course, there's a lot of directions to go, depending on what you want out the ride and how much to spend.

I like the focus the german cars have on the driving experience and the vehicle designs. And, resultingly, I have bought german offerings for sports cars and sport wagons/sedans. But that is not to say I would not buy something american or japenese at some point.

Sometimes it's fun to do a complete change and go in new direction of cars. I did this when I sold my AP1 and bought a 2003 Cobra Mustang. However, I still think a pre-owned NSX would be the right next ride for you.

next car for me will be an nsx or cayman.. (go figure)...


however, having said that, i think cheryl and i will always keep one s2000. there is something about a top down that hp can't replace (i'm sure people will disagree with me on this one).

Top goes down on the NSX-T, young man.

It was a beast of a ride, the immense power, the aggresive look, and that I loved.

Here are some of my favorite pics of the car...
