Title: Possible new Honda Beat...
Post by: Jorsher on April 17, 2009, 03:52:03 PM
Apparently they're considering building a new tiny, cheap roadster.

Don't know if that's the official concept, but it'd be neato if it was cheap.  Unfortunately wont be mid-engine but I see swap potential.

Rumor is they're going to completely redo the s2k and it may not keep the "s" name.  Nobody really knows...

Again, this would be a beat replacement not an s2k replacement.  Cheap, small, fuel efficient roadster.

Either way, it's front wheel front engine and will probably not come to the US.

How does anyone fit in those? S2000's look a fair big bigger, and my knees are pined on the steering wheel in those.

The beat was designed to accommodate 5'2 Asians.
