Hmm, not sure if we should believe this or not. I guess only time will tell.

no surprises here, I wasn't really expecting a successor anytime soon or much of an improvement if they do release a new model.

I still remember Honda dealers telling us it'd only be sold for 2 or 3 years. I'll believe it when I see it.

Since there was a mild refresh for the 2006 model year I would expect the S to soldier on for at least two more years.

I really doubt Honda will let the s2k soldier on for 15 years. Seven or eight years maybe (which is about 2 life cycles for a model), but not 15 years. I think the NSX was an exception because they had put so much time (6 years?) into designing the car and because it was much more refined and durable than most of it's direct compettitors for most of it's lifespan. My 2 cents

the s2k is already on its 7th year and going into its 8th (no doubt there will be an 07 model soon). You actually believe they won't go beyond 8 years ? Look at honda's track record with all their cars beside the civic and accord. I'm just being a smart ass with the 15 year production run, but i expect at least 10 years . Honda isn't a "sports car" company, regardless of what all the fanbois might think
