Revamped Honda S2000 Gets A Silly Moniker, Dental Work

Devoid of any exciting product, Honda is trotting out its now-dead S2000 sports car for the upcoming 2013 Tokyo Auto Salon, with a host of cosmetic enhancements that make the car look like a cross between the Moss Motors catalog and a bad acid trip.

Modulo, the aftermarket accessory arm of Honda Japan, outfitted the S2000 with some of their own enhancements, including the awful retainer-esque chrome piece across the front bumper, and little winglets on the trunklid. The mechanicals of the car remain untouched, giving the Modulo S2000 at least one redeeming quality.

    I think the car looks great, but unfortunately I know that the dual exhaust is fake, and that ruins the whole impression. If only they dropped a twin-turbo V6 into that thing.

    I agree it's ugly. Honda has always had a particular look to it. Generally on the ugly side. And that's being said that I've owned three Hondas (one is currently my daily driver).

  • MaintenanceCosts Poorly packaged, oddly proportioned small CUV with an unrefined hybrid powertrain and a luxury-market price? Who wouldn't want it?
  • MaintenanceCosts Who knows whether it rides or handles acceptably or whether it chews up a set of tires in 5000 miles, but we definitely know it has a "mature stance."Sounds like JUST the kind of previous owner you'd want…
  • 28-Cars-Later Nissan will be very fortunate to not be in the Japanese equivalent of Chapter 11 reorganization over the next 36 months, "getting rolling" is a luxury (also, I see what you did there).
  • MaintenanceCosts RAM! RAM! RAM! ...... the child in the crosswalk that you can't see over the hood of this factory-lifted beast.
  • 3-On-The-Tree Yes all the Older Land Cruiser’s and samurai’s have gone up here as well. I’ve taken both vehicle ps on some pretty rough roads exploring old mine shafts etc. I bought mine right before I deployed back in 08 and got it for $4000 and also bought another that is non running for parts, got a complete engine, drive train. The mice love it unfortunately.
