 Honda S2000 sales yields worst month in production history
 

2001 S2000s Hondas were sold in the month of July, a time when sales for the year should be peaking. Instead, the S2000 has suffered it's worst month in production history. How much longer can this go on? A local dealer just sold it's CR for 30k even... apparently the CR model didn't help sales at all.

What's wrong here? This is a reasonably economical car to own and it's a blast to drive. Are drivers so spoiled by luxury touches that they don't want a pure sports car anymore?

 Car Nut website
 

Here's a website even more intense than mine: http://www.carnut.com  (suggest <right click> and <open in new tab>). His site focuses on classic cars and other vehicles. reserve a couple of hours for browsing thru his site, which fortunately is also indexed by Google.  He is truly a nut about cars.

I linked the following picture from his site: it's a Duesenberg V-16 engine. You can see that it's technology is not unlike that of aircraft engines from the same era. Imagine what this monster sounded like when it started!
