If Honda had something like that in preparation as a next gen S2000, I would start saving. However I presume my pounds are safe for the foreseeable future

Like the wheels and the front grill/lights but the rest of it reminds me too much of the Z4.

yep, bastard offspring of a TT, a 350Z and a Z4... There's a reason why I love the looks of the S2000 over those other roadsters and it's the sweeping curves.

That said, the overall proportions look good, but as mentioned above, the roofline is wrong.

+1 on the "no folding hardtop" petition too!

oh and the front of the bonnet that looks like a real S chopped up.

Not a bad shot at it though by the origonator.

Is that flame surfacing or an optical illusion from the front arch to the line across the top of the door. Maybe a should take my medication.


It's reminiscent of the big Ferrari and is a little reminiscent of the Z4, which has an parenthesis-ogive down the wing.

Personally I dislike the treatment, since it looks like I've crashed it again.

Hopefully the real S3000 might have a bit more of the OSM or GT5000 in its appearance.

Upper wing lines work well, though.

Who knows with Honda; could be AQ1, which reads like an irritating speech style adapted by particularly vapid twentysomethings.

I tend to use the "S3000" (as I use the Acura GT5000) term, since it's probably clearer what I'm banging on about.
