The Viper V-10 powered motorcycle (called the Tomohawk)? Never produced.
The Mercedes leaning car? Never produced.
Remember the Jeepster? Never produced.

And the above are maybe a fraction of 1% of all the concept cars that were ever made.

How many of these do you see on the roads today:

Yup, and we see these all over the place:

Oh, and take a look at Popular Science from time to time. Do you think most of those concept cars are ever produced? Nope.

Wanna know why manufacturers spend millions making concept cars that don't go into production? Here, have a look at this. It explains it pretty well:

Now why would they make a concept for a car that they're not going to produce?
What do you think of your question, now?

OK, since this thread is getting "diluted" with unrelated stuff, I'm going to temporarily close it myself. There is another thread going on right now that's flogging the "2006 is the last year" topic due to the Home Page article.

So, let's leave this with the latest "this must be gospel" declaration that we WILL NOT see a 2007 model S2000.

I will re-open this thread when the 2007 model comes out in the fall.
At that time, awards will be handed out.
Don't worry, I won't lose this thread. I've got them all bookmarked.

Adding an entry into the pool:

xviper... since you closed the "pool" thread, here is my take/speculation on it.

Every 2 years, the car goes through a change..

MY00-01
MY02-03
MY04-05
MY06-07

so there WILL be an 07, and if there is an 08, there will be an 09

it should probably end in 07 or 09, I'm leaning towards 09, honda will kill it just like the NSX

Well, well, well .................................................. .....
https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=378296

It is now time to re-open this thread and hand out the prestigious BEST BELIEVER AWARD (Double Naught prize) and find out who has been inducted into the Jethro Bodine Hall Of Fame. Let's go back and recap our contestants:

May/04 ..... "No next generation"?
https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.ph...pic=211080&hl=
Prediction ................ WRONG!

Oct/04 ...... "CAR" magazine says '06 last year.
https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.ph...pic=244110&hl=
Prediction ................ WRONG!

Apr/05 ..... Sparking more rumours about the '06.
https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.ph...pic=281046&st=
Prediction ................. WRONG!

First post updated.

For the rest of you with "last year" predictions yet to come, don't worry, I'll be bringing this back in about a year. You ain't getting off that easy.

I'll close this in a day or so, but leave it open for a little while for your much anticipated responses.

WHAT SAY YOU NOW????

Lets not forget the so-cal post that Road&Track said that this year 06 is the last year,

Then there is the other so-cal post that 07 will "definitely" be the last year heard from the dead mother of the cousin of the second roommate of the stepmom of the niece twice removed of the the guy how works for the lady who over heard it from two girls in the stall next to her at the headquaters of Japan Honda.
