Its about time....three years too late IMO and a few more kids smashing them up will ensure a higher chance of collectibility. Yay...we may own a "rare" Honda after all.

thank you sir... thats what i was thinking. they should had stopped back in 2006 imo. hopefully with the ap1's going down in price more kids will pick them up and smash them... as long as the kids are fine, i'm ok with that.

i'm hoping for a 25-40% decrease in actual street cars... that would be fcking great!!!

I hope the price on them drops more so they will get more smashed up and harder to find.

If this follows through and becomes extinct like the CRX/Del Sol, then this should further strengthen my decision to purchase a NSX. Please nobody smash those sweet beauties up!!

The S2k will NOT go the way of the del-sol, come on now! Del-sol was a half-*** replacement of the CRX at best. The S2k will go down as one of the best roadsters ever for its purity, handling, all that. When Honda wants to prove something, they effin do it best (FR car). First MR (NSX), then FR (S2k)...maybe AWD now? Dethrone the Evo and STi? heh :D

Anyway, it's too bad the replacement will be nothing like the S2k . Or maybe that's good for rarity sake?

No one wanted a V8 in the S2000 anyway. There not doing the NSX either, BTW.

My sentiments as well.

I think a 5-6 year run would have been sufficient for the S.

I don't see S2000's on the road that often down here, if you ask me they're kinda rare already. I'd hate to see them kill the production of the car, it's pimp and deserves a good successor.

Too late, the car has lost it's rareness. And now anyone can own one as there are too many on the road. It's just not special anymore as Honda waited way to late to stop production.
