For "one of the most technologically advanced sports cars in the world"

Just read this in my newest Road and Track

"One of the purest sports cars in the marketplace is Honda's S2000. Born from racing technology and bred to conquer corners, the S2000 is nirvana on the racetrack. Unfortunately for people who epsnd their time on crowded public roads, the Honda sports car's high revving nature and stiff ride quality make it the ultimate penalty box (maybe to them ) With sales dipping with each passing fiscal year, the S2000 will finally bid the world sayonara at the end of the year. It's replacement is expected to appear in 2009."

This was in reference to the next Honda Roadster.

So my understanding on this. 07' is the last year and they are bringing it back in 09? Or they are continuing until 09'?

I love the S, but I am hoping for a slightly larger sports coupe with some grunt. Something like the old M3 (before this new V8 beast).

Give me a 300+ hp N/A V6 in a honda coupe and I am sold.

What would be great is an Acura Coupe/Cabrio 300 HP SH-AWD.
The Acura CL Type-S would have been a great competitor to the 350Z and G35c
had it have been RWD, but FWD = wrong wheel drive.
The derived NSX 3.2 Block was used in it. They held boost well too. The J32A2 was capable of 500 WHP usuing stock internals.

The last year is '08 Justin thats when they are releasing the CR as well. I hope this will increase the value of the car. Thats why they have depreciated so much because they have been built for 8 years already and there are so many on the road.

Colin, you better get that DD soon and keep those miles off your car. The value of low mileage '07's will sky rocket once the car is not being made anymore!
