But, as usual, US crash safety/emission regulations and demand are the two biggest roadblocks to such a thing happening.

*Cue moving boxes*

Th emissions part probably isn't too hard as much as the safety shit is.

Also, there's that other S-class :(

Honda did it first though.

Yeah, but they never sold them over here when they did the 3-digit S-classes. The only Honda S-class sold over here was the S2000.

Is 64hp really that terrible for something less than 2,000lbs? I don't think that would be enough to put me off buying one.

Usually manufacturers design a U.S./Canada version and a rest of the world version from the get-go. It has to be much more difficult to convert an existing car to our regulations.

It wouldn't be that fast, but RWD, convertible, tiny sports car? C'mon!

There's always the 1.0 option, the S1000.

Speed was never really the point with little roadsters anyway, it's always been more about the handling and the driving experience. As long as its just fast enough to get out of its own way and not be boring, who cares?

I wouldn't be surprised if it were a Honda motorcycle engine, one that revs to the heavens and back.
