Thumbs up Why there's no TV commercial for the S ?

It seems like all the cars (except exotic) have a TV commercial to promoted their car but when it come to the Honda S2000. Honda doesn't promote this car on TV. I only see a few ad on car magazines.
I have people telling me all the time they didn't know Honda make a convertible car.
Such a nice car for Honda to be proud of and should tell the potential buyers about it. So how come they don't advertised it on TV ?

I've seen a few commercials that highlight the 350Z, Crossfire, and Miata. But no S2000...

i've seen a few 350z commercials, but none for the S. then again you dont see anything for EVO's or even SRT-4s. i would assume they do this because a full enthusiast is already aware of the car, and those would be the people they want to purchase the vehicle

what would be the point of advertising an s2000 on tv?

the car doesn't represent what honda wants to be..the accord and civic speak just fine for honda.

If you're in the market for convertibles (which is really small), you probably already heard of the s2k. Plus, TV ads are expensive...Honda only sells about 6,000 s2k's a year. Will a tv commercial help that much?

There are a few commercials I've seen that feature the S as part of Honda's lineup. It is only on screen for like 2 seconds though.

Honda already sells as many S2k's as they'd like to...

you don't see tons of them at dealerships with them trying to get rid of the car. The ones they have sell, and there really is no need to advertise and waste the money
