Just remember the Supra was the last Japanese muscle car to get killed after the 300Z and RX7... There weren't really any new options until the S2000 came out. Even the Camaro and Firebird were axed due to bad sales.
They were here last...
I still remember Mits said that they will not kill it, it is a symbol of Mits... and a year later, bye bye. Guess the symbol was that Mits is going bye bye.
But anyways... regardless if Honda kills the s2k or not, we still love it.... look at the Supra Turbo, they are so hard to find (and expensive).
So Honda, do us a favor and kill the production already....

Have you seen the inside of the last generation of Camaro and Firebird? They were so bad, someone in GM should have gone to jail for that.

Honda's original sales goal was 5,000 units per year in the US. It regularily see's sales of twice that amount.

WTF are to talking about? The Saturn isn't even out yet and I don't think the Pontiacs have really hit the street yet. Neither of those cars have have any measurable effect on S2000 sales!

This makes interesting reading, but none of you truly knows where Honda planned to go or where they are headed, particularly with the s2k. It's simple. Drive your car. Keep it if you like it. Trade or sell if you don't.

Honda can pretty much do whatever they want to at this point...it's meaningless to speculate what has caused S2000 sales to drop off; sure, some reasons mentioned are probably quite true but I think Honda doesn't care much for the S2000 anymore (if they ever did).
Look at the longevity of the Accord and Civic; both cars have been around for over 20 years and Honda continues to amass a great profit in their sales. Why stop a good thing?

S2000 is one of those cars that, by trying to be something to everyone, ends up satisfying no one. They either need to go the cushy/pretty/sexy route or the hardcore performance route.
