I'm just curious to see if anyone would have considered the S2000 if it was just a regular hardtop. I think I still would have bought the S2000, since I'm a honda loyalist.
I still like the specs without it being a convertible. For instance: 240hp, 9000rpm redline, great handling, HIDs, the looks (probably would look pretty cool with a standard hardtop), nice interior, etc...
The reason why I brought this up is because my S2000 is my only car. Since it's been raining all week, the convertible is useless and almost impossible to see out the rear window when it is fogged.
Don't get me wrong, I love the look and feel of the convertible. When the sun comes out, my top is going down.

Hell yes! After attempting to get screwed by my local dealer, I went shopping for a BMW M Coupe. Luckily, I got the S2000 instead. But if they offered the S2000 with a squareback like the M Coupe... I would have been all over it.
Well, that and I'm too tall for the M Coupe. It is still an awesome car, in my opinion. A lot of folks think they're dog-ugly though.

I would have given it less consideration if it was a coupe instead, even though I had been waiting since the SSM concept, decision to put it into production, etc.
A large part of why I bought it was to have a convertible, but not all

I would have been even more eager to buy it if it was available as a coupe. Convertable is cool and all, but I think rag-tops looks stupid when the top is up.
BTW, M coupe is a tighter fit than the S2000??? Damn, I guess I REALLY woudln't fit in one of those!

Actually, I bought an S2000 in spite of it being a soft top ! I really don't care for convertibles, so my top is hardly ever down. I had two Miatas, both with Hardtops ( in place 99% of the time ). I may get the hardtop for the Honda. I realize most people like the top down, but I prefer it up with the stereo on & A/C blowing cool air.
