Honestly they didn't sell well because they were very small and didn't have enough torque for most people. Still really want to buy one though, still waiting for the prices to come down a bit though.

Pretty sad to hear especially for us Honda guys.

Erik · 01-27-2009, 01:51 PM

its unfortunate but not a big loss. The s2k was a decent car to just zip around in, but i think it was just way to small. Im a bigger guy, so i felt like i was stuck in the car, and then weighing it down lol but i still enjoyed driving it. I was never a big fan of sport coupes like that. always liked hatchs or atleast sedans.

Tyler · 01-27-2009, 02:54 PM

it's unfortunate but honda did not sell a lot of them recently so it's not suprising

OPZ · 01-27-2009, 05:34 PM

There's a powder blue one for sale out my way for only 19k...too bad the interior is ASS ugly...

240vert · 01-27-2009, 05:55 PM

I always wanted an 05 Suzuka blue S2k, mainly because it was the first sports car I've ever driven, and that was the year and color of it.

I'm 6ft, and I felt I fit perfectly in it, and all the controls were in the best possible places.

Those cars were the best thing abut working at Hanover Honda, other than the 6sp Accords and getting pushed around in the red rhd sm600 coupe they have.

I'm going to get one sooner or later.

Like everyone else said, it sucks that auto makers can't afford to build cars suitable for enthusiasts. I hope we are not at the end of gasoline powered sports cars. That would suck.

dres2k · 01-27-2009, 06:52 PM

sucks, but at least they'll go up in value now since there won't be anymore produced...not that i plan on ever getting rid of this car though lol

HKSdrift3r · 01-27-2009, 06:59 PM

^^ hey man, you dont go to Brookdale CC by any chance do you? I see a silverstone ap2 there once in a while. I used to have a silverstone ap1 that I drove there in the fall semester.

It is sad that they dropped the s2k cars but in time they will create another sports that will out do the previous s2k's. I doubt the value will go up as there are way too many out there and there arent too many trim options out there for them. I will get one soon again as it was the nicest car I ever owned.

dres2k · 01-27-2009, 11:48 PM

nope, I don't go there...but def get into another s2k some day if you can.

i am NEVER getting rid of this car. as far as whoever said they dont have enough torque to be fun rwd cars. have you ever driven one? i can get sideways all day long if i wanted, lol. and the car is so damn balanced and one of the most controllable rwd cars i have ever driven. i am the biggest honda nut ever, but i think its a good time to end the s2k, they had many years, time for something new

i agree i wanted a blue one or a white one, but was not a fan of the blue or tan interior, yuck. how much they want for the 04? i paid $16,500 for my 04 last year with 20k miles

honda certified from a honda dealer as well

OPZ · 01-28-2009, 12:51 AM

19k. Ha!

BugEyeGuy · 02-24-2009, 11:40 AM

Yup the only Honda I like that I would even buy and they aren't going to make it anymore just that special edition over in Japan that we aren't even going to get.

92dxman · 02-25-2009, 09:21 AM
