Looking Back - The National Post on the Honda S2000

( Quoted from The National Post )
" Honda's decision to pull the plug on its aging but still potent S2000 roadster after this year's model run is understandable -- after nine years, the two-seat, $50,000 sports car is long past its prime. And, given the S2000's low sales volume, it is completely rational for Honda to expend its time, energy and money on research and development for more mainstream products. "

2007/2008 Canadian vs. US Honda Prices

Now that the Canadian dollar is already past on-par with the US dollar, here is a comparison of prices of Honda models in Canada compared to models in the states. I've compared similarily equipped models that are the same on both sides of the border.

Note: All Prices are MSRP with no additional charges.
Note 2: Canadian models are 2007, US models are 2008.

2007 Honda Odyssey LX (Canadian) vs. 2008 Honda Odyssey LX (US)
$25 860 (2008 Honda Odyssey in US) vs. $33 300 (2007 Honda Odyssey in Canada)

2007 Honda Odyssey EX-L (Canadian) vs. 2008 Honda Odyssey EX-L (US)
$32 210 (2008 Honda Odyssey in US) vs. $40 000 (2007 Honda Odyssey in Canada)

2007 Honda Odyssey Touring (Canadian) vs. 2008 Honda Odyssey Touring (US)
$40 010 (2008 Honda Odyssey in US) vs. $48 100 (2007 Honda Odyssey in Canada)

2007 Honda S2000 Base (Canadian) vs. 2008 Honda S2000 Base (US)
$34 300 (2008 Honda S2000 in US) vs. $50 600 (2007 Honda S2000 in Canada)
That's more than $16 000 MORE in Canada than in US and the Canadian S2000 is only a 2007!
