I think they had to cancel it because it was just getting old-- The car essentially didn't change in 9 years. Sure some small stuff changed but it was the same exact motor/tranny etc.. I think they needed to bump up the HP to keep it around.. 240HP is just not sufficient compared to the new cars that are coming out-- I mean the ford taurus SHO is 365HP twin turbo, you have the srt8 challenger, camaro ss, and I think there's even a 250HP Sonata now a days..

They would have needed to re-design it and give it a bigger power plant for a similar price in order to keep selling them..
