Default I've never seen a S2K commerical...

I feel as if the S didn't succeed as much as it could because it wasn't too publicized. I mean everyone I know knows what a Z4 is but alot of people don't know what a S2K is.

I mean this was the last year of it and the Honda clearance commercials don't even mention it, only accords and other lower end cars.

I know the market is smaller, but it just didn't seem like I was pushed at all.

The car briefly shared a superbowl commercial with the 2006 Ridgeline, it was a Ridgeline Commercial, but the S2000 was the other Honda in it. I guess it was to identify the Ridgeline as a "handling" truck.

Never saw that ad at all ten years ago. Ever. Was it in wide circulation?

I agree with the OP. I wish it had been publicized more, and I have never seen a US commercial of the car on network tv....Yet in "Mr. Opportunity's" commercials, I did see the S one year, NFR. I can't remember how long ago, probably 05.

Why did Honda need to advertise it? The types of enthusiasts that were going to buy S2000s sure as heck knew about them. For the first year or two, prices remained above MSRP in most areas. For a niche car where you only plan to build 8-10k per year, there's no reason to waste millions of dollars in advertising.
