Hefty sticker price and stiff competition are driving them out. When you have cars like 350z and Mx5se, that are cheaper priced and just as good, why would you want a s2000.
s2000 don;t need a update it need it's priced lowered inline with competition
well people who knowQuote:

as much as i would love the price of an s2k to drop without my price range, i would have to disagree with u. the price of a car has many more variables that just the performance. you're comparing the styling of an mx5 with an s2k? you're comparing the age of an mx5 with an s2k? you're comparing the world reknown quality of honda to nissan and mazda? ...sure i like nissan and mazda, but honda... cmon. might seem biased but this was my opinion long before i got my R which is the first honda in our family. just compare the service schedules and u will see a clear distinction.Quote:

Funny how you use the mx5 as a comparsion and not the 350z, just quoting from a mag about the competition. Nissan probably would be around the same price range, but honestly if you had the money and had either choice of s2000 or a nissan 350z convertible, i know i would pick the nissan, 1 because it's newer and it's fresh, the S2000 is getting a bit old for it's age even with a face lift and the whole style of the car needs to keep up with treads, If i see a S2000 drive past me i think to myself it's a honda s2000 , see a 350z go past and i be like whooa thats damn nice.Quote:

i agree. if i have the choice, id go a 350 roadster too. i've driven neither though, so it's an uninformed opinion. but if i were a s2000 owner and honda started slashing the price of the s2k to be competitive with the roadster i would cry. last thing u want is your car to depreciate even faster than it naturally does. im sure it bares minimal weight on their consciences but honda owe it to their loyal customers not to slash their prices ridiculously.Quote:

hmm....s2000 vs 350....
honda all the way....the 350 looks heavy and IS heavy...
I Personally like the 350z style but that is just me.....
Honda Australia don't feel they need to lower there price to compete with something that isn't even in the same technical league as the s2k.
If u wanted a cruise car, something u could drive along without really thinking, then pull over and let your mum drive, you would go a 350z. If u wanted a car that put you in the back of the seat, and made you work to get the thing to rocket through every gear all the way to the sky high, ear enjoying redline, you would get a s2000.
Also it is very hard to coment on either without driving them. I work at Honda and frequent the drivers seat of S2000, Type R, and Type S etc.
Thats why like the Type R , prelude, the S2000 will soon follow there footsteps, the car industry is business in the end, things don't sell got to get rid of them and come up with new ideas, plain and simple, don't want to lower prices, things don't sell. The honda NSX was one of those cars that was well priced back in those days cheaper than a porsche, and was in the supercar league. giving everything a run for the money and bang for your bucks, but at $245,000 is getting a bit steep, for a outlay of 100g-150g you can pick up a R34 GTR and still save 50g to mod it into leathal weapon. But this is just how i view it, and had a flimsy 245g to spend.......Quote:
