Default I'm soooo confused

O.K. I've heard that Honda is discontinuing the S2000 after 2007. Just found on Honda's website advertising for the 'New" 08 S2000 in addition to the new version the S2000 CR. "Club Racer". Have I been mistaken and they are continuing on with this fine breed of car??? Anybody with the poop on this???

There will be a 2008 model, and for he first time, a second trim level is available. Like you mentioned the CR "Club Racing" Edition.
The CR is pretty similar to the standard version with no upgrades to the engine. However, the ragtop is gone and is replaced with a light hard top which can be removed. There's also a rear spoiler and a funky chin piece up front. I think it's got a stiffer suspension and a couple other differences, but that's highlights

Well this is the father of S2k last gift to us, so it will probably be end soon. I say 08 or 09. Because the new CR should be least 2 yrs running.

i have no basis for this other than instinct..i think 2008 will be the end. the car needs to be updated to keep it competative and it has not happened. i have no proof for this opinion.

Just buy the car if you want to drive it!!!

If I were to bet? 2009 or 2010 will be last year.

actually it sounds like the 08s are designed for more GRIP. which is a great thing.
