The Honda S3000 is nothing but a variant of the Honda CR-Z Hybrid sports mode which essentially adds the convertible option. The 2012 Honda S3000 raraises the bar in the area of the sports convertible cars and backs the brand name in the area of a quality car.
The 2012 Honda S3000 has to prove itself to be a worthy successor of the Honda S2000. Let us familiarize ourself with some of the features of the Honda S3000.
Q. Is there any official announcement about the 2012 Honda S3000.
A. No, there is absolutely no official announcement from Honda at the time of writing. All we know is a the Honda S2000 which was launched by Honda in the year of 1999 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Honda.
Q. So why the heck is the talk about the 2012 Honda S3000.
A. It is expected that the Honda S3000 will succeed the Honda S2000. And hence the buzz has started about the Honda S3000. Honda S2000 has not been as great a success as was originally supposed to be. This was confirmed by Motoatsu from Honda in October 2005. Therefore Honda has started looking for some alternatives to justify the time and money spent on the Honda S2000.
Q. So how bad is the S2000 in terms of production and demand ?
A. In 2009 Honda produced just 2,648 units of the Honda S2000, which is dismal by any standard. In US, only 795 units of the S2000 were produced in 2009. It is clear that the S2000 was a definite failure. Whether the launch of the 2012 Honda S3000 becomes a sucess or not - only time will tell.
Q. SO what will be the changes in Honda S3000 2012 as compared to Honda S2000.
A. We do not have any definite information on this front. However some of the information available have reported that the 2012 Honda S3000 is a real wheel drive. This could however, not be confirmes.
Honda may integrate V-6 engine to the new S3000, but, again, this is nothing more than a rumour at this stage. The new S3000 is expected to have the 3 or 3.5 liter engines following the same steps at the Honda jazz 1.4 and Acura TL.
