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.

- Steve Biro There are 24 races on this year’s F1 schedule. And I guarantee you no more than two will be reasonably exciting, Meanwhile, F1’s reception for Andretti reveals the dark underbelly of the sport. I have followed F1 since the 1960s and, frankly, I am running out of interest. I’ll catch a race if it’s convenient but won’t bother DVRing them.
- YellowDuck Been watching since the 80s, seriously since the 90s once we had reliable TV coverage. I'm in Canada though. Hey, and don't forget that the Interlagos race is also in a convenient time zone, as is Mexico. So that's 5 races in the Americas. Absolutely love it, but it takes a bit more interest in the technical / strategic side of things to really appreciate it. It's not just going fast in circles until someone crashes into someone else, while drunk people watch. The US can be proud of what it has contributed - Austin is one of the best tracks on the calendar, Vegas turned out to be much better than anyone could have hoped, and even Miami - a real Indy car-style track - produced a good race this year.
- JMII I watch every F1 race, same with Indycar which is 100X better in terms of actual racing.
- Dale Quelle surprise.
- 3SpeedAutomatic Nice looking, but IIRC, there was an issue with these engines where a knock would develop. That may account for the very low milage. 🚗🚗🚗

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).
