Look at that ugly wing on the S2000! I think the Accord looks nice, though.

That Accord would benefit from a Civic-coupe-style spoiler on it. Other than that, pretty mean lookin. I'd drive it. Though it looks pretty freakin big!

They should stick a VQ35DE in that Accord Coupe and slap some Nissan Skyline badges on it, then it would be impossible to tell the difference

That Accord looks like someone welded together a Hyundai Sonata and a Nissan Altima.

I'll hold off on judgement of the S2000 until I know more about why the spoiler is on there. It looks functional to me.

I found a C&D writeup on the S2000 CR.

It's built as the final project of the guy who developed the NSX and S2000, it's a race-tuned version with a much stiffer suspension and lightening (There's no sound system or AC, how cool is that?) That spoiler is very functional, btw.

Read about it here. (http://www.caranddriver.com/autoshows/12648/2008-honda-s2000-cr.html)

According to that writeup, that S2 is 2 seconds quicker around the Tochigi test track, which is a small, short track. Thats awesome! But I find it hard to believe that the wing has something to do with the decrease in time. I guess it's function over form in this case. Function is ugly in this case, too. :kekeke:

Now that I think of it, that Accord Coupe is a concept. If the Accord is due for a change for the '08 model year, which starts in about September, I'm thinking that the actual Accord that they plan on selling is going to look significantly close to this concept. I mean, its mid-April right now, so they don't have much time to change anything significant.

i like it alot. The only things i would change is the front grille (not a fan of the honeycomb stuff) and the center taillight...doesnt really match the other two. Smoke it!.


kinda reminds me of an eclipse.

Man if I could afford that thing, I'd be proud of it. Wing and all.

I want one.

2 seconds is a big diffrence in the racing world. im not crazy about the color on the s2k the wing loos very functional, im one for very "tasteful" mods and bodykits/spoilers. this one doesnt looks tooo bad, id liek to see a rear shot of the s2k then i can say if i liek it or not. only thing i never did liek about the s2k's and the mx-5's is the fact they (to my knowledge) dont come in a "solid" hardtop, i know the Mx-5 has a targa or full cap but to me its not the same as having the roof a soild part of the car

Rear end looks like a new eclipse mixed with an altima. Front end looks like a lexus/audi w/ a slight tinge of ridgeline.

I'd sport it. :)

I knew there was something that Accord concept reminded me of. Now I remember what it is:

A Hyundai Tiburon

PS
Engine is the same as the normal S2000, so I guess there's no need for engine pics.
