Default changes for honda in the next few years

http://world.honda.com/news/2005/c050720_a.html

< NSX successor >
We are now focused on the development of a new model to succeed the NSX for a new era. We would like to debut a new super sports car equipped with a V10 engine in 3 to 4 years. Please look forward to seeing the NSX successor.


I wonder what this statement could mean for the S2000 and/or changes made to it.
Advanced VTEC
An advanced VTEC engine, scheduled to be introduced at the end of the 9th Mid-term, dramatically reduces pumping losses by controlling engine aspiration through continuously variable control over the amount of intake valve lift and phase of valve switchover timing. With innovative valve control and control of the length of the intake manifold, combustion efficiency will be increased by 13% compared to current i-VTEC engines.

so. anyone wanna start a "no S2000 in 2007" thread yet?

The second statement seemed like an upgrade for the current i-VTEC systems on the RSX-S.

Didn't seem like it had anything to do with the S2000.

right but what im saying is that since the K20 series in the current rsx/integra was based off the S2000 engine, i wonder if/what changes they will make in the future based on that statement.
