STWOK would have made more sense - in any case S2000 sounds better to me.

Old man Honda would revolve in his grave to think that such a superb driving machine had been labelled with this flippant and downmarket name!!

I hope that this is all a joke or I just have aquired many enemies.

*Don't bother asking me to change my username if you guys are serious about this Anti-Stook and Pro Stook clubs*

Cheers,

Please allow me to share with you some enlightening quotes from the membership of The Anti-"Stook" Club:

[QUOTE]
I'm not a big fan of the word "stook".
I hate the term "stook".
I hate the word stook.
I think the word stook is a horrible word, totally unbefitting of the car.
I have always hated that word to describe our baby.
It sounds like a sexually confused bird.
Makes it sound like a bird or something.
The name always kinda made the little hairs on the back of my neck do the "wave".
I don't use "stook" in normal conversation.
I have hated the term "stook" since I saw it.
A 'Stook' sounds like something that drops out of your bottom when you're not well.
I like my S2000, not something called "stook".
I find the term "stook" so annoying.
The term does not serve the car well.
It is a discrace to call your own car names.
I simply cannot stand the tarnishing of our car's name.

From a pollster's point of view, this is a landslide against "stook."

Cant see the "landslide". Did you do any vote counting in Fla ?

81 no vs yes+ ok = 74 + undecided = 77 81 to 77 is not a landslide.

50 percent say they hate it, 20 percent say they like it, and the rest don't care. So of the 70 percent who have an opinion one way or the other, the margin is 5 to 2 against. That looks like a landslide to me.

OK, I'll play Devil's Advocate here...

Disclaimer : Personally, I don't really have the dislike that some people have towards "stook". I don't think it's a big deal.. Just a nickname. I would be in the "I could take it or leave it category"

However, I would say that people that say that they could "Take it or leave it", are more on the side of liking it.
Consider this:
Do you like the styling of the Pontiac Aztec?
If you hate it, you would never buy one.
If you like it, you might buy one.
If you say that "it's OK", you would probably consider buying one if you were in the market for that type of vehicle. Perhaps styling isn't the most important thing to you.

Maybe some people don't love the name stook, but also don't mind it, and would call their car a "stook".

If this is the case, it's more of a 50-50 thing!!

[Now I should probably duck!]
