I have yet to see Honda advertise the S2K on television and haven't seen any magazine advertisements. I only subscribe to one car mag but do peruse others. Never saw an S2K ad.
UNTIL: Travel and Leisure
December, 2000 issue
Pages 180 & 181

The ad shows a Silver/Red screaming down a city highway.

The ad reads:
Zero to 60 in less than 6 seconds
But a 5.82192137 that you'll never forget.

Thought people would want to know that Honda is advertising the S2000.

This ad is also in the latest issue of AutoWeek. My wife grabbed it before I could get to it and she noticed it immediately.

Yeah, I just started a subscription to AutoWeek and they have the 2 page spread that you are talking about.

One thing that's confusing is that they printed a 5.87 second 0-60 time. I guess they are getting conservative. We all know that many car magazines have managed much better. Oh well, I still love my car.

Oh, and I was surprised that they still use the Silver for the ads instead of the new Yellow.

Jerome81,
Thanks for the video! It's great!

Hey, how many people recognize the white & green button showing just before the S2k button?

I have one and I have it on tape. Trouble is ... it's right in the middle of my copy of From Dusk Till Dawn.

Apart from that I have seen none.
