The only other S2000 i've seen this year is Wing - aside from the gorgeous ones in the garage at Speedstar

I've spotted a few around. But not too many.

I would have dropped the A/C and bought heated seats....

I still think they need to offer more gear options too...

does anyone offer gears anymore?

i know that you could get diff gears with mustangs, firebirds, camaros - and maybe vettes.

i don't think you can do that anymore...

Ya - those are the cars I was thinking about because I knew you could get it for them.

Not sure anymore as I have not been in the market for one so I have not checked.

But the principle behind it was great.

Keeping that in mind - remember you also had engine choice.

Why did Honda not offer either the 2.2 or the 2.0L engine????

probably b/c the S2000 is not mass-produced...it's a boutique car.

everyone would then have to order their config....highly inefficient when producing low volume.

no delear wants to order you a car...they'd rather find an existing one in inventory....unless you're adamant and are gonna walk on the deal.

True - but I did order mine.

Still kinda leaves me because I always thought Honda knew the S2000 was a low volume car so you would think that would suit a "configurable" car over a mass produced car.

If GM/Ford could do it with the camero/firebird/mustang - all REALLY mass produced in the 70s/80s/90s - I would have thought Honda could do it with a "limited" numbers car.

Unless your thinking is produce x number of cars in each possible config?
