I'm excited and definitely welcome a replacement. Is that just some unconfirmed rendering though...? And is the S2000 replacement confirmed?

| A Truly Wild Rumor Says the Honda S2000 Will Return as a Miata Competitor
According to this article, this is all speculation.
That being said, currently the economic climate is generally pretty good that many manufacturers are enjoying success with people buying sports cars once again, so from a business standpoint it makes sense. It doesn't take someone with an MBA to see the success of the FRS/BRZ and excitement surrounding the new Miata, and the new low price of the 370Z. Right now, Honda currently doesn't have any 2/+2, lightweight, sporty RWD cars so it would make sense to release something just under the $30,000 price point. Plus, a new S2000 would be in line with other moves (new NSX, Civic Type-R, JDM S660) for Honda to go back to making fun cars again.

those are renderings that actually look absolutely terrific. the nsx front is a little big for the s2000 size, but if they re-drew it instead of just sticking it on as is, it would fit very very well. and just tone the air vents down a little

Don't get how this will rival the Miata! Different price points plus different horse power! If it gets the civic type r engine 300+ hp compared to Miatas 150hp no question the s2000 would be a better over all car in probably every way except maybe price

I can't wait for my ap2 to be faster than the ap3 
If it's going to be miata rival, honda will probably put the smaller turbo engine from the ex sedan in it for 160-180hp.
If Honda somehow unreserves itself and puts the 300hp engine in it, I'm sold.

Make a sub-30k version with the turbo four for younger buyers cross-shopping the car with Miatas and FRSes, and another version with more performance-oriented goodies (suspension, lsd, stiffer sway bars, lighter body components, etc) and the 300hp CTR engine for around 40-45k that can compete with the Boxster, Z4, 370Z, etc...

120HP/L N/A? Sadly, that won't happen again unless emission standards went out the window.

It's no supra but it goes a long way to reinvigorating Toyota's brand(s) even if it's DNA is mostly from Subaru. Toyota is doing up their line of fun cars again at the very least.
I doubt Honda will nerf one of their most iconic sports cars to a level around that of a civic. Here's hoping that it will be at about the same power as the euro CTR.

According to Toyota North America, the FRS was a flop. There sales targets were only reach in the release year, since then its been dropping like a rock.
Toyota has the S-FR concept which is.....interesting but simply a concept for now.
The S2000 is a far better sports car than the FRS is but its almost unfair to compare them, ones a light weight 2 seat sports car the other is a built to budget 4 seat "sports" car.
