From Honda...
The 2009 Honda S2000 will be the final model year produced of the award-winning roadster, Honda announced today. First introduced in 1999 for the 2000 model year, the S2000 helped define its segment with class-leading handling, engine technology and value. Originally envisioned as a limited-edition tribute to Honda’s 50th anniversary, S2000 production was extended in response to customer demand and critical acclaim.
"The S2000 is a sports car designed by enthusiasts for enthusiasts," said John Mendel, executive vice president of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "It raised the bar for all future roadsters, and it’s already considered a classic by many Honda fans."
As a true sports car that can serve as a practical and fun daily driver yet feel equally at home on a racetrack, this concept further evolved with a club racer-inspired S2000 CR trim, first offered in the 2008 model year. The S2000 has been honored with multiple awards through the years, including four appearances on Car and Driver Magazine’s coveted "10-Best" list.
The S2000 is sold in 64 countries around the world with cumulative world-wide sales of over 110,000 since its introduction in 1999. Over 65,000 S2000s have been sold in the United States since 1999.

Not really, rumors are swirling that the Kappa roadsters and the entire Saturn line may get nixed by the close of 2009.

This is old news to me, they knew this when we bought ours last year. Awesome car though, especially for the money, very fun.

Not so:

This should be motivation for GM to keep the Kappa Line... I mean, thats a decent size market share for GM to grasp onto. (Maybe redesign it soon, and upgrade it ?)

i have to agree here. had a chance to ride in one after doing the brakes on it, mild drop, agxs, and a short shifter and it was a blast. it would have been even better if i had fit in it...had to take the top down to get out.
