    what if it was a wrong wheel drive 3500lb hybrid with a 130hp 3 cylinder gas engine with only a cvt transmission? :lawl:

    Oh, that's right.

    Man.., I just miss the Preludes.. The long nose, trunk deck coupes looked sex as hell through out each 'n every gen..


    That's a little risky, but I feel ya. ;)


    I get the pic of the current / ecological trend, but that'll be quite a bit of downgraded spec lol. Well, it might beat the CRZ with 130hp but 3500 is really chunky. :yaoface2:

    I'd be happy to see this brought back.

    But it needs a powerplant. In 99/2000 when the S2000 first came out, it was the highest producing natural aspirated 4 cylinder in terms of power. Torque was very low sadly.

    That is not a return to the S.

    If it has a 1.5L engine, it should be the S1500. This has been a problem since the 2.2L crap!

    I want an S1100, with a sequential 6-speed trans, and electric reverse (look up peoples cordless drill hacks :D ). Basically a CBR1100-XX engine, shoved in a Locost, with a nice lookin body.

    Even better, make that with VTEC, so you get good efficiency and bat-outa-hell performance (when your foot gets too heavy). Oh, and a curb weight of less than 1500lbs, so leave off the unneeded crap, like a radio. And carpet. Hell, the roof should be optional, so make sure the floor has drain holes!

    Torque isn't that important. Just make sure gearing is right.

    TQ x RPM / 5252 =HP

    The looks are nice but how about the performance.
