Didn't Ralph Nader have NHRA remove it from the guide? Pretty sure "unsafe at any speed" includes above 130.

An S2000 is classified as a roadster, not a convertible.

Carey,
Looking at the information available, an interesting car.
Any chance to find an english version of this?

http://www.honda.co.jp/factbook/auto...99904/050.html

Is it called a Roadster from Honda? My Classic car friends always point out the roadsters on the November road trip as the guys wearing jackets, gloves (the newest car we've used is a '34 and no heater available) and heavy clothes just like us plus wearing hoods and stocking hats since they have no side windows.

Today they might call all two seat convertibles roadsters. Didn't the early Vipers have snap on windows? Bizarrely my friends wife had a Dodge Magnum wagon and it came titled as a truck to avoid epa "car" stuff.

But does the Honda not have roll up windows from the factory? I believe THAT is what seperates a roadster from a convertible, regadless of what tag the manufacturer puts on it. It seems nobody calls a station wagon a station wagon anymore, they are all "Sport Activity Vehicles" or some form of hatchback. They still look like station wagons to me!!

It has powered windows from the factory.

So who defines it then if the manufacturer doesn't?

Seems like the traditional definition of roadster is different than the current.

I used Google Toolbar to translate that page and it does not say "Roadster" anywhere on that page. It may somewhere, but not on that page.
