You stay classy S2000
Great read. Just because the production of the S has been discontinued, understand that we're still here to acknowledge and continue what Honda had intended with the car all along. I'll raise a glass to our beloved S.

Sad. I know there will always be used ones on the market but something about the fact that after a point in time, we will never see another brand new one at a dealer saddens me. Amongst the sea of front drive Accords and Civics, the S was something special.

The CR sitting next to the AP1 looks gorgeous.
I, too, am going to miss knowing that I can buy a brand new S from the dealer when the chance for a new car would come... Worst part is that Honda isn't even replacing the S2K with a successor worthy of the current S2000's demeanor. I mean, we all know what the S is capable of, and those of you who have taken the S to a track know exactly how fun it is to drive anywhere (sadly, I've never been on a track..
).
Well, with that said, I'm just glad I bought my S2000 in time before Honda cancelled it. Sure, having 10-years plus worth of S2Ks around does hurt the resale value, but hey! I'm keeping mine forever.

Blah. Numbers.
While the S2000 puts up respectable numbers, it's what you can't quantify about the car that makes it special.

I'm glad the S2000 went out like its big brother, the NSX. Maybe it's better that the S2000 ended like it did instead of growing more powerful, softer and fatter like its rivals.
