The S2000 is a limited-edition car that is likely to command prices higher than the expected $30,000 retail price owing to its scarcity. At most, just 6000 of them will be imported into the U.S. each year, and only for two years. While we hate to see dealer gouging, we nevertheless regard this car as an exceptional treat for sports car purists, providing the kind of driver/machine partnership that's usually found only in high performance motorcycles. If that kind of partnership appeals to you-the car as a surgically precise extension of the driver's will-the S2000 may very well be worth a price premium. At the very least, you owe yourself a test drive.
