Default Honda quits Formula 1

Came across this article and thought I'd share.

http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/28066396/

Formula 1 was a major influence in the development of the S2000. I wonder how or if Honda will continue to carry the model forward. It'll be interesting.

I also wonder who is going to buy the F1 team. They didn't do very well this last season.

Yeah, sure it has. By who? The lot boy at the dealership?

prosado - If you look a bit down, you'll already see a locked thread on the subject. The discussion should really be here: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=653624

DDonovan - every year of the S2000 was thought to have been the last year of the S2000. Where is this announcement that 2009 is the last year?

I highly doubt 2009 is the last year for s2000...maybe they would be changing the design again in 2010 because the ap2 is reaching 4-5 years now?...thats just my guess...but i don't think their going to take it off the market any time soon...
