Of course it's the worst selling honda. Same with any dedicated sports car. Viper is Dodge's worst seller and Corvette is Chevy's.

The real telling sign would be how many were made vs how many sold. Any numbers on how many 06's were produced?

S2k's been in production now for, what, 7 model years? I probably see more of them than Fits as well, but didn't the Fit just come out?

I wonder if those numbers would be any higher if Honda did some tv ads on the S2000...

The S2000's Demographic is smaller as well.

It's for someone who wants a real car. (Very small demographic)

Most honda's are great though. and look at the accord and fit. they offer "MORE."

The S2000 ONLY offers great looks, convertable top, great engine, amazing handling, reliability; What's the S2000's problem!

This is just units sold, and the S has always been low volume, being a hand assembled car on a low production assembly line. The NSX and Insight were worse sellers when they were around, but now the S is the low seller. If you look at days on the lot, the numbers shake out differently.

S sales have always been around 7,000 annually, so 6,7xx isn't anything special.
