The strongest argument from Honda - is thei engine technology. They have a lot of expirience with motorbike engines, and other high reving engines with the top in the world reliability.

But i quess they now work only on the new sport super hybrid NSX with AWD

Better yet, with the 3.5 Liter V6, S3500. ;-)

It would be, The last S2000 was compared with the base Boxter, The Japanese cars now a days are actually getting power. The next one, If there will be one, would most not likely get compared to an F-Type V6, Simply because of the Double price difference, Power, Drop top yes, but other then then unlikely, But I do hope they make one.

an S3000, with a 3.0 V6... That'll compete with boxsters, F-types, etc. and it'll be awesome.

No doubt, The S2000 was a truly wonderful car, My mum had one.

Easily on of the most fun and best handling cars, And it looked great.

Im hoping Honda will make a successor, Like S3000 or something. It would be a shamed if they didn't.

S2000 was a great car, I'll be glad to see S2000 successor in near future (and NSX successor to).

You need to watch Chris Harris's review of it

"performance should be judged by its nature, not its quantity" - Chris Harris on cars, gt-86 vs 370z vs Cayman

So over 10 years ago Honda made more power, more revs, was faster. And convirtable.
BRZ/GT86 - its just hype.
