2007 is the last year...
Road and Track editor Sam Mitani reports that the S2000 will depart the end of this year. A replacement roadster will be introduced in 2009. The new car will compete in the Miata segment and cost less than the current S. HP is expected to be around 200 using the Civic motor in a RWD configuration. This is reported in the June issue of R&T.

Isn't the S2000 CR an 2008 model?

I read that article too,and I have a strong tendency to beleive,it's true.
Honda sales,for the "S"have been going down every year;too expensive to compete with the Solstice,Miata,and the likes...and not fast enough to compete with the big boys...Porsche,Mercedes,etc...
So,what do you all think about this???Sad...,Happy...,Indifferent...???

Can't be. 2002 was the last year. That's what my dealer told me.
All kidding aside, its really hard to know what to believe. There are so many conflicting stories every year that the best thing to do is to wait and see.

Besides, didn't the brochure fron Honda on the CR version say that both trim levels will be available for 2008? (as zdave87b mentioned). Honda already officially declared that there will be an S in 2008. Why haven't the R&T editors heard about this?
Seems like none of the magazines/car journalists have heard about the CR. Maybe it's just a late April Fools joke?

I think the market has spoken. S2K is a great sports convertible but it is a bit pricy for those who are looking for fun sports convertible in Miata's price range. With Miata's hardtop covertible, it is an attractive car, in my view over S2K. It is unfortunate but I think it was inevitable.

If I knew for sure, I'd be looking for an 07 to buy. With my increasing mileage I'll have to upgrade sooner or later -- or replace worn out parts.
That description of a dumbed down 09 doesn't sound very attractive. I had thought that Honda was actually making money with the S, and that they were happy with the numbers.
