Almost every year, we get somebody who knows a "good friend" who knows the "dog walker" of the dog owned by the 2nd cousin of the garbage man who collects for the "aunt" of the secretary to the mailroom manager of the "GOD" of some Honda division who says "THIS YEAR WILL BE THE LAST YEAR FOR THE S2000". Let's see if we can bookmark this one and make it THE "Last Year" thread.

Are we doing a pool?!?! ... I vote for 2013, 14 years after its introduction just like the NSX

best thread evAr

Wisconsin S2k

actually this one would be WRONG!

6 years would be 2005 as the last model year, if you started at MY 2000.

6 years would be 2004 if you included the few 1999 Model Year S2000's made.

Not gone. Just a redisign. Source: The Honda Engineers currently working on it.

You can't have 2010, that's my prediction because I am the poker partner's friend.


Besides everyone knows that MY00 was the only year the authentic S2000's were in production. All the others are kit cars.

Hey,wait a minute!!!
I know tha guy too;or is it a girl... ???

That's what I was thinking. How do we define "gone" or "last year?" You might say last year was the final year for the NSX, but what if in a couple years they name the successor vehicle "NSX?" Was that really the final year, or just an interruption in production?

I think the S2000 will be replaced by a fully redesigned vehicle for the 2008 model year. Whether it will be called "S2000" I have no idea. My source is a neighbor's dog who told me all about it during a fever I had last week. He also told me to kill some people, but I haven't gotten around to that yet.

2010 at the earliest, looking at their track record with the integra, NSX, i'm going to go with at least 10 years. We'll see a productoin MK II 350z before a MK II s2k thats for sure. HA HA, I JUST LOVE THESE THREADS
