Note: Just passing on this article, have no verification.
Coupes are a dime a dozen, & many are quite good cars. We don't need Honda to join the throng.
The only thing I am interested in is a convertible, & I certainly don't want something with those disgusting LEDs outlining the head lights. Leave that to the Germans thanks.
Midship, S2000 and NSX swap clothing? XD
Looks like the middle child
-NSX older child
-S2000 middle child
-CTR/TURBO is the baby
looks like the prelude ressurected and a rwd...
as long as honda keep making sports cars and not FWD we should be thankful
Looks nothing like the modulo concept.
Like this one better since it still keeps that S2000 look.

The S2000 is named for its engine displacement of 2 liters, carrying on in the tradition of the S500, S600, and S800 roadsters of the 1960s.
The drawing above looks nice but so have all the other artist's impressions that have accompanied the "New S2000/NSX' posts over the years.
Until I see an official announcement from Honda I won't be getting too excited.
Funny it also says the AP2 got the F22 engine.Quote:

The name was derived for the size of the engine. Then the engine size changed in some markets. Doesn't mean the name should change.
No activity on here any more. People still using ozHonda?
I guess not.
I was lucky enough to have a lady friend who used to loan me her S600 back in the day.
They were incredible, revving to 11000 RPM. Driving it felt very similar to my 1100cc F2 Brabham I was racing at the time.
Their only minor flaw was a heavy flywheel used to make them easier to get away from a standstill, meant it took a while for the revs to drop enough in first & second, so you could pick up the next gear without a crunch. The revs were just too much for the synchros.
I guess there aren't too many that have driven the full range of Honda S cars.
