OFFICAL STATUS:Honda S2000 is gone after 2009.
I am alright with this news now. I am Not Suprised. The only so-called Sports car remaining in the Canadian Honda Lineup is the Civic Si.. 
Quote:
Honda has officially announced that 2009 will be the final model year for the Honda S2000.
The S2000 was originally introduced in 1999 as a 2000 model.
"The S2000 is a sports car designed by enthusiasts for enthusiasts," said John Mendel, executive vice president of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "It raised the bar for all future roadsters, and it's already considered a classic by many Honda fans."
PRESS RELEASE:
2009 Will Be Final Model Year of Production for Honda S2000
The 2009 Honda S2000 will be the final model year produced of the award-winning roadster, Honda announced today. First introduced in 1999 for the 2000 model year, the S2000 helped define its segment with class-leading handling, engine technology and value. Originally envisioned as a limited-edition tribute to Honda's 50th anniversary, S2000 production was extended in response to customer demand and critical acclaim.
As a true sports car that can serve as a practical and fun daily driver yet feel equally at home on a racetrack, this concept further evolved with a club racer-inspired S2000 CR trim, first offered in the 2008 model year. The S2000 has been honored with multiple awards through the years, including four appearances on Car and Driver Magazine's coveted "10-Best" list.
The S2000 is sold in 64 countries around the world with cumulative world-wide sales of over 110,000 since its introduction in 1999. Over 65,000 S2000s have been sold in the United States since 1999.

do you really think the price will go up after the s2k are out of production? The s2k perhaps has been in production for 9 years. Does that not make the car rare at all?
