i was very fortunate to be able borrow a friend's S2000 for a few days. drove it, loved it. this car (like someone else who mentioned this) is truly a driver's car, not some luxo roadster. i don't particularly enjoy the wind noise at high speeds or the lack of insulation from vibration and road noise, and i must say that the rear "window" leaves much to be desired. however, as a weekend/fun/third car in a children-less household, the S2000 fits the bill perfectly. i commute 80 miles a day in LA (total of about 3 hours worth of stop and go, middle finger extending, window rolling up and down cursing traffic jam), and though i got plenty of admiring stares, the noise will drive you crazy after a while. but if you want to put a smile on your face when you drive, just savagely thrust the car into a 8500+ RPM rage and watch everything around you go by.<br><br>i love the S2000, but i'm waiting on the next prelude, which i heard will be based on the S2000. hopefully honda will end this front wheel drive nonsense on their sports coups and get with the program. everyone knows FF cars can't corner at all (i'm talking about stock, non-modified cars).

The new Prelude will not be out for another 2-3 years though.

Sorry to say but I read in Janury's Autoweek magazine that the Prelude will be combined with the Accord Coupe. So no more preludes... Plus I just sold mine & got the S2000 2 months ago.<br>One word "AMAZING"!!!!
