Can I vote for option 3.5? That is, more significant changes than #3, but not nearly as radical as #4.

My car isn't going to last forever, so what am I going to do when I need a new one? It'd be nice to have something somewhat different, just to keep things interesting.

Those voting to kill it now, remember two things:
1) The S has already been produced in sufficient numbers that it will never be a true collector's car. If you think it's an investment you're in for a sore disappointment.
2) You're basically voting for Honda to have no sports car in its lineup, further degrading Honda's image as making only "practical people-movers". Tell me again how that will help our car's value?

It's far better for Honda to maintain the S as a model line. Aftermarket and dealer support for our car has always been weak due to limited numbers; we'll all reap the benefits if Honda continues production and evolves the car to maintain its competitiveness in the growing sports car market.

You really don't know anything about collector cars. Your opinoin is better left unsaid. I'm not alone on this one.

A DOHC VTEC 3.5L N/A V6 cranking out 450ish bhp and 280-300ish ft-lbs of torque with a high redline and weighing well under 3000 lbs would be nice.

Since we are dreaming, I think they should take two of our engines, mount them together to form a V then put it in there. Let's see, that would be a V8, 480 HP, almost 300 lb/tq (O.K., that's a little low), mid engine monster. Yeah, that's the ticket!!!

I don't think they should kill the car. But unless they do so, the car will get defiled with retarded fins, wings, and stickers.

The value of our car is dropping, opening the flood gates to the Fast n' Unemployed crowd.
