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).

  • Jeff Not really bad just mostly oil changes.
  • Jeff Thanks again Corey for this Eldorado series.
  • Scott I seriously doubt that they will be in business within three years. They are phasing out popular models and not replacing them. Durango is going to disappear next. They say that the elevators don’t stop on many mid level floors at the Stelantis HQ. They have let many designers and engineers go. Pretty soon the customers will get a clue that they shouldn’t bother stopping at a Stelantis dealership!
  • Lou_BC Ford should hire someone who knows how to design an esthetic pickup front end. Ram's about the only one with a decent snout.
  • Lou_BC I usually replace my vehicles once operating costs start to climb. Tires, brakes, oil/filter changes are expected.
