Wow, we're getting a lot of roadsters lately in a time where Honda looks like its getting out of the roadster market. Maybe Honda will listen up and start working on a re-designed S2000

Surprised that there are now 3 Kappa based roadsters though, although if Subaru gives it AWD and a Turbo I4, it'd be pretty sweet!

Why would anyone want an AWD roadster? It'd spoil the character of the vehicle...

Exactly my point. And the Z4 is sold with incentives mind you.

Geez, as soon as I saw it I said "Kappa." GM's going to make a big mistake creating Kappa twins for this market. It's really a dumb move, considering how incredibly flexible the platform is. I understand utilizing Kappa to gain economies of scale, but don't make a bunch of clones. I'd love to see a Kappa sports sedan; or a four seat hard top only coupe. Making every Kappa a roadster with identical proportions and foot prints with different skin is dumb.
