Default Jalopnik: Why the Honda S2000 is a future classic

But just because an answer is obvious doesn't mean it's wrong, and cars can be future classics for reasons that aren't so readily apparent. That's why today I nominate the Honda S2000 for this status: not only because is it a fantastic machine, but also because its discontinuation left a vacuum in the sports car landscape that has yet to be filled.

A casual observer might think the S2000 was simply Honda's way of moving into Miata territory. This assumption is wrong. It was more like the Miata's psychotic axe murderer cousin who just escaped from prison and has a long list of police officers, prosecutors and ex-girlfriends it needs to take revenge on

Love it. That's why I'm never selling my S2000. It's a true classic Honda.

Thanks for posting. I keep thinking that I want to do some mods to my near stock AP1, and then I read an article or two like this and I think I should just leave it alone. I know used car values on various websites aren't the end all-be all of pricing, but still, every time I look the value of mine has gone up and up the last couple of years.

Keeping mine forever. I would be perfectly content if its my casket.
Edit: I would be honored actually. Such an amazing piece of machinery.

Articles like these make me feel better when I dish out a wad of cash to keep my car running and/or looking good.

read this article yesterday while stuck in a traffic jam. It makes you feel all warm and cozy inside and proud to own such a great car.
