2006 Honda S2000 Review

An antiskid system is the main 2006 addition to Honda's sports car. This two-seat convertible has a power soft top and heated glass rear window. The only powertrain is a 237-hp 4-cyl engine and 6-speed manual transmission. ABS is standard. Previously unavailable, the antiskid system is standard and can be switched off the by the driver. Leather upholstery is standard. Seats and console are revised for '06, and headrest speakers are added. A removable aluminum hardtop is available through Honda dealers.

New or significantly redesigned models include Mitsubishi Eclipse and Pontiac Solstice.

News

It looks as if S2000 will continue as is until Honda redesigns it or offers something else. When might that be? Beats us, as Honda is famously good about keeping its plans secret. But the seven-year-old design still seems pretty fresh, so we'd guess Honda won't act until it decides the S2000 has gone stale.
