  | "New" Honda S2000 Type S @ 2007 Tokyo Auto Show  Honda S2000 Type S at Tokyo New aerodynamics package The Tokyo Motor Show is about to burst at the seams and manufacturers are dropping names left and right. The latest of these is the Honda S2000 Type S which is based on the highly praised S2000 but adds a huge spoiler and a new aerodynamic package. In fact, it seems to be the US Honda S2000 Club Racer which made its debut at the New York Motor Show. The Type S is powered by Honda's 237 hp 2.2 liter 4-cylinder DOHC engine and is, as the US press office so nicely stated, 'The S2000 CR is the closest thing you can get to a Honda-built racecar with license plate holders and a horn'. Pricing in Japan starts at 3,800,000 (just over 23,500 EURO) and Honda hopes to sell 100 units every month and can be had in ten different colours with black and yellow interior, just like its US counterpart.

| Re: "New" Honda S2000 Type S @ 2007 Tokyo Auto Show I absolutely love the standard unit, but I unforunately haven't much appreciation for this Type S. It'll undoubtedly be a great car (like the standard unit - if you haven't driven one, do so ASAP), but that rear-spoiler is just... |

| Re: "New" Honda S2000 Type S @ 2007 Tokyo Auto Show Oh... my... word.  Isn't that the worst Honda I've seen in years. What were they thinking? After the minimalist purity of the pukka S2000 - now this? Lord, help us, but what's the Type-R going to look like if this is the intermediate Type S??? A little subtlety would've gone a long way... |

| Re: "New" Honda S2000 Type S @ 2007 Tokyo Auto Show Unfortunately not impressive at all, very simple and bland and looks dated. A shame it has too be that way.  |
