i don't think honda will come out with a second generation s2000 unless they can figure out how to share platform but then it wont be a pure sport car anymore. profit margin for the s2k is not very high because nothing in the S is shared with any other cars except for the radio, light bulbs and some bolts.

I feel very sorry for you if you think the profit margin for the s2k is not "very high". Just thought I would point that out since everything else about this thread is already a disaster.

Why? Honda is barely making any money on these cars. They definitely didn't build the car with profit in mind. They pack a lot of performance for $30k. Additionally sales are probably a 20th now compared to in 2000 when the car came out.

If you know otherwise enlighten us.

I guess the you can say that the s2000's profit margin is not very high when compared to other "normal" cars. However, that does not mean the profits have been small.

To be honest I think Honda should stop making S2000's. They are not very pleasing to look at, over priced, I would say over rated but most people don't even care about them, they don't really sound good, are about as reliable as a ford, not that good on gas for a 4 cyl, generally girly ( basically a honda miata ). Also their owners think they have something fast, its funny when they come to the drags ( why you would drag race a S2k I will never know ) and run like a 15.4 and get all embarassed, I can tell their thinking ( well well well, id smoke you in the twistys! )

the same thing can be said about the idiot in your avatar...he's not pleasing to listen to, most people don't care for him, sounds like he has the mentality of a 2 year old, not good as a president, about as reliable as cheney actually shooting a bird, generally incapable (basically a puppet for cheney). also his supporters think they have someone competent to lead the country ( why you would vote for bush i will never know) and start a pointless war with a country that didn't attack us, i am embarassed to have him represent this country, ican't understand his or his supporters thinking

The S2000 wasnt built for the drag strip, as for every other car honda has built. But I guess thats the only kind of track a car can be fast at ...

He only won ONE election, the other with hanging chads was bullshit. Also he has an approval rating of like 35% now.

As for the cars, first they run 13.9 in the 1/4, second they were not built for that at all. Take a "muscle" car to a Time Attack event and see how it fares. Third, why are you even in this forum, people like this retard are why America DOES have terrorists wanting to blow up our ****.

i hate to talk politics in a car forum but,

Bush won by a small margin in both terms. that means that almost half of the nation didn't approve of him. and it didn't help that the Democrat candidates were buttards. so a better buttard is still a buttard.

how american is it for you to own a honda? if you were so american, shouldn't you be driving a nice big gas guzzling chevy suv?

God, you are a ******* idiot.

If you're going to come in here talking **** about the S2000, please, please for the love of god at least know what the hell you are talking about first.

If you ever compare Honda and Ford in the same sentance again, I will probally eat your children, and rape your mother and father. Especially when it comes to reliabillity, holy **** im still in shock that you think a honda is not a reliable car. I can garuntee you my S2000 will still be running years after all those new rust-angs are being shiped to the junk yard by the dozen.

I can see why you are a bush fan though, bad grammar, poor spelling, no idea what the expletive they are talking about, incoherency, a huge ******* idiot. now only if you display your devout christian values to us, you sir could possibly be our next president.

No wonder you are a bush fan God Bless America.

Winning two elections in in a row if you're president Bush, Is like competing in the special olympics.

Even if you win, you're still retarded.
