Default 2004 last production year?

Did a search for 2003 s2000 (through google), noticed an article saying 2004 could be last production year. Would seem to stack up if they are going to bring out a mugen special edition. Anyone else heard any whispers?

Yeah, I've heard rumors that 2000, 2001, and 2002 would all be the last year.

Surely this is a BS story, this is someones personal homepage. Its a great story and I would dearly loved to be proved wrong but I just cant see this being true. I am sure there would have been more reports in the auto press if this were true and why would Honda invite this particuarly person to test the car? does anyone know who this guy is?

The car in the picture just looks like a standard S2000, I cant see any visual changes at all.

Statements like 'with the alacrity of a scotch terrier on amphetamines' and 'utilizing new technology apparently based on telepathy' just make me doubt this even more.

Good effort though by the author, I enjoyed reading it.

That article has been around for ages!
The original article had a little note at the bottom left corner saying that this was fictitious.
