Of course a Miata is cheaper, but it is sloooow. A corvette is much faster but has way more issues.

I long for a company to make another S2000, but not to ruin it with turbos and autos. Make it light, stiff, and with a zippy engine that screams at you!
I just don't see it happening to be honest. It's going to be impossible for even Honda to recapture the magic. We can be certain it won't have a super high revving NA engine, and that to me was what was so unique about the S2k.

What blows my mind if why no one has tried to copy that recipe. The FRS for example, should have come out with at least the same HP as as a 17 year old S2000!
