Default Want a hardtop, but can't afford an NSX

There have been occasional rumors of a true hardtop version of the S2000. Does anyone know if there is a remote liklihood of this ever coming about, or when?

Will be a good backup to an S2000 in the winter

Get an OEM hardtop and slap it on. It fits the car surprisingly well.

Get an s2000 hardtop. With it on it's essentially a hardtop car. The fit and finish of the hardtop are great.

sjt, I wanted a hardtop/coupe too, but when the MY04 came about and I test drove it, I was sold. The main advantage of a coupe is that it is quiter and is more rigid. The S2000 in roadster form has a chassis as rigid as many good coupes and the MY04 is less noisy than before too. Plus, as a convertible, you have a car with a double personality.....it's like having two cars in one.

Get the S, you will love it.

Oh wait, sorry, it's just my removable hardtop.

Seriously, everybody is right, buy the OEM Hardtop for the S2000. Outstanding quality and you really are getting two cars in one!
