the rumor surfaces again....

This hit the s2ki.com forums today. Rumor of a supposed S2000 coupe. Yet oddly enough they use the same pic that started this rumor 3 years ago. lol.

It's a photo shop of an S2000 with a mazda hood. There is not and never will be, an S2000 coupe.

hmm... an S3000 would be nice... or S25... hehehe

coupe however, no, because it was meant to be a convertible.

I remember reading about the S2200 in Japan a while ago. The coupe looks nice, but so do the convertibles with hardtops.

All "S" cars have always been roadsters (S500, S600, S800, S2000). To honda, S car = roadster. Therefore there will never be a coupe since a roadster must be convertible by definition. Not to mention the fact that the car was designed as a convertible since inception. Honda has said the S2000 will never be a coupe, and will always be an open top convertible.

I like the current S2000. We had a some nice weather yesterday and there was a sexy black one out yesterday. The car is pretty big, it much more muscular than a civic. In pictures it looks smaller.

So the same can be said for an Si right?? It was originally a hatch, but when the 99-00 Si came out, people jumped all over it, including chop shops. Same can be said in this situation right?!
I kinda like the coupe pics of the S2000

I've seen a Honda prototype. No idea about production, but it looked a hell of a lot better than that photochop does...

no because a civic Si is simply a trim level.

roadster is a type of car, not a trim level.

exactly what I was going to say. The Si badge/trim level could be put on the kind of vehicle Honda chooses, and they chose a coupe for a couple of years for the Civic. If I remember correctly, CRX's and older Preludes had them too.

Anyway, I wonder if they have any plans to put in a V6 or put in a slightly larger engine. I would rather see Honda continue with the path that the S2000 has been taking (larger engine, a slight redesign) then go and become a coupe.

s2000man, not all "S" cars have been roadsters, the s500 and s600 are actually sedans under the benz label. if you were thinking of the benz roadsters you were looking at the sl500, sl600, along with the smaller version the slk.

He was actually refering to Honda's S-series. Those cars are very very very old. They have made them all as roadsters. We don't need to bring Benz in to the picture.

i am not talking about the mercedes benz cars.

I'm talking about the S500, S600, and S800 roadsters that were honda cars. They are from the 60's, 70's.

The S800 was available in a coupe, however, the S800 name was somewhat a misnomer since the car was not the same car as the roadster.
