2009 Possible new color!
2010 New wheels and exterior/interior coloring (say lemans blue with red/black two tone interior)
2011 No changes
2012 New color choices and redesigned seats along with the current fail that is the factory radio being replaced.
2013 No changes
2014 No changes
2015 Nothing new
2016 Sales slumping, discontinue CR. New headlights to "modernize" the nearly 20 year old car.
2017-2018 No changes. Discontinued, no new S2000s shipped to the US after early '18 but Honda will allow dealers to call all '18 models '19s to help move the 58 cars still in inventory.
2020 Last "brand new" S2000 roles off a dealership floor somewhere in North Dakota bought buy eccentric millionaire and self-described collector of fine Internal Combustion Engine driven cars.
There we go, now we don't need anymore of these for another 12 years.

Bad rumor for sure.
The next generation of S2000 will most certainly have a higher output motor.
Generally speaking about the revisions stated in the rumor, historically, when Honda decides to do a redesign of a vehicle, they rarely do so in such manner as described. I would expect major changes with an all new vehicle. The rumors I heard about an SLK challenger sold as an Acura sounds plausible, but it definitely will not look like this artist depiction or share so many parts the current S2000 has, IMO.

I heard the next generation is going to be a more affordable Elise competitor. Honda is pissed that Lotus used a Toyota engine instead of the K20 so they decided to build their own. The new S2000 will use a higher output version of the K20 found in the Civic type R. It'll make about 260hp, 200tq and weigh in at 2200lbs. It's still going to be front engine though.
