Hi you Honda S2000 folks!

I've been looking at a silver hardtop S2000 that has started to park on a corner I drive by when I leave my house, and I think it looks really nice.

I don't know what year it is, but I don't think it's current because the driver's area is set so far back compared to what I see at the Honda website for the curent S2000. Which is too bad, I like the look of this older model much better, with a long, low hood, a lot of visibilty from the driver's area and a stubby rear end. I take one look at it and a wonder how many fishtail wags I could do coming out of a corner (an old VW game in the snow!). it looks "British" to me, which in sports cars I think is a good thing! (So's Italian.)

And I have this thing (hate?) about convertibles, espcially the plastic windows, so this hardtop appealed to me very much.

So, are hardops avialble for current S2000's? All I see in advertising are convertibles. I imagine it is a detachable hardtop? And is my perception correct that the newer S2000 have a different body design than I describe this silver one having? Do you like the older style better or not?

Lots of questions, I know. Thanks for listening!
