 Interesting.  I saw a couple S2000's right after they came out, but
 haven't seen one in several weeks (except for the one at the SF Auto Show
 last Friday).  Is anybody buying these things?

* tim,

Yes I believe that people are finally buying them now that the Honda dealer 
is being reasonable about the price...$32K now... I had several at my latest 
track event at Laguna Seca on November 26th... I got to drive one too, and it 
is a really good car..!!! The only complaint I had was that the power 
steering was too power and there wasn't much feed back from it..but the S2000 
have good performance, handles exceptionally well, and is really well 
balanced..!!! IMHO..it kicks the '99 Miata on the track (stock vs. 
stock).....it's that good..!!! It was pretty kewl reving it to 9K RPM..!!!! 
The engine is peaky...tranny is soo slick... and brakes are very good...it 
doesn't make power till 8K...but when it comes on...it goes..!!!!

FWIW,
