Honda S2000 is the modern 911, I think. So silly they discontinued such a masterpiece. It can be had for peanuts in EU.

They discontinued it for the most basic reason any company stops producing a low-volume product: the demand just wasn't there. And it still isn't as much as predicted, as is evident by the slightly underwhelming sales of the Subaru BRZ and Toyota FR-S/86.
During development of the S2000 Honda bought many 911s under pseudonyms as benchmarks for track-testing. I think it paid off!
