got my modified mag today, and read that all development of nsx is canceled as part of a restructuring effort inside the company
no s2000 in '10 product year, rather an '11 s2000 esque roadster will be rebranded under Acura nameplate

sorry if repost

What a bummer.  I'd like to see pics of that S2000 with Acura badges.  I guess those spy photos of the Acura that looked like a S2000 that had a growth spurt were actually a sign of things to come.

Well, look at the Nissan GT-R, it's sales are only 1/2 of what was expected and with the updated NSX expected to have a $100K+ price tag it only makes sense to cancel it.

Now if it were up to me, which of course it isn't, I would do a exterior refresh on the current S2K and put a V6 in her to give it the tourqe that is missing from the car, putting in a 280-300CHP/260-270WTQ V6 would bring that car to life and make it trully compeditive with others like the corvette, viper, upper end rustangs and with mods (TC/SC) would put it in range even with a GT-R.

yeah id probably buy a v6 s2k anyday.
if they did continue the s2k, who would like them to keep the looks relatively the same as the AP1/2 instead of a drastic change?
i wish they'd keep producing the same style s2k for some more time man. lol. i would love for it to be my next car.

My J36 builds already bury the C32 from the NSX and weighs a good 100 lbs less.

If someone seriuosly wants a V6 S2K I can make that happen, I already did alot of research into it since I was going to convert mine, but it would not be cheap, probably in the $10K-$12.5K range when it is said and done, that is including replacing the stock S2K rear with one from a Skyline to hande to TQ.

Yeah I heard S2K rears literally explode when exposed to anything over 200 foot pounds.
