Yeah, the S2000 will be out of production, to be replaced by the S3000 *don't mind me, just day dreaming*

amazing car, as amazing as old NSX was. Both were so much time in production, but never outdated.

One of the best parts of the car was the high revving engine.

i never understood the appeal. for me it would be something like a Cayman or a 350Z every time... it's a shame to see Honda axe the only interesting model they make, tho. But then again, waiting for the market to pick up again before they release a successor is probably a smart idea.

No interest in the Civic SI? for $22,000 that's a nice car.

Uh oh... here I go again... according to road and track a vette pulls .94 g's in skid pad, a s2000 only about .89, add in more power, torque and comparable fuel economy with the s2000... but hey, these cars aren't comparable, for the price the s2000 puts together a pretty decent package.

Makes no sense. The S2000 competes well in its class, good performance, great looks, good fuel economy. Unless Honda wants to build nothing but boring ugly cars, this is Stupid. Ironically, Toyota pushes ahead with the LF-Aa balls to the wind PUUURE sports car, and Honda cencels the S2000...People call Toyota boring.

This car's lifespan has been 10 years. And despite this being a good car, its gotta call it quits sooner rather than later. You'd have to understand that Honda as a company are usually wise, due to the economic crisis it is unlikely that a sports car is on top of the list.

Ya, but its a sports car that still gets mid 20s city mpg, and high 20s highway mpg so its economical. Honda losing all their cars that have balls will not look good. In a year they will have no halo car, they'll just be a company for "greenies" and similar losers. Not talking about you.

Never was a big fan of these, I always thought they looked like a big door stop, and not real big on convertibles in general. Aside from that all the right ingredients were there, though. RWD...high revving...light-weight..it'll be a shame to see it go, but hopefully a replacement isn't far off.

Unfortunately, they already announced that the new NSX and the S2000 successor have been canceled :( This period is a very sad one for sports car enthusiasts!

A modern classic, such a shame to see it go, full of soul, I hate the direction Fukui is taking Honda towards, it would be a crime not to have a sportscar in the Honda line up!
