They will be discontinued in a few years.
My understanding is they will be gone for a few years (maybe less) while GM restructures the format. Kinda like in 83 when they missed the vettes 1982 year for the new introduction of the all new vette in 84.
The demand is so high for the f-body that gm is going to discontinue for a couple of years and then unveil the new model.
Not sure of this to be fact, but its all over the gm forums.

just to clear up a few things:
M3 is correct, 2002 will be the last year for the f-body cars as we know it. and as far as i know, they probably are going to completely overhaul the entire platform, but not because the demand is so high. there practically is no demand, the f-body's are - and have been - on a selling slump for some time, losing to the more civilized (and boring) mustang. so GM appears to be sort of throwing in the towel for the time being. the new f-body's may not even be true muscle cars in the future, but more people-friendly (that live rear axle can be quite a handful for over-anxious and inexperienced drivers) and tame. that of course sucks for those people who can truly appreciated a full-blown performance car.
personally, i think it's a damn shame that the f-body's are going to go away. but at the same time, i understand the position GM is in. we'll just have to see what happens in the future.

This truly sucks.... 
I was hoping that the rumors I had been hearing were true... Something about them totally redesigning them and looking to the 60's for design ideas... Kinda like the new Chevy SSR pickup thats based on the 1950's type styling, thats being released in 2003.

What is a good GM forum to visit, so I might do my own research... I feel like I am making you guys work for me!!!

There is no demand for F-Bodies, They cant give them away. If they could actually sell a couple of them then they could justify continuing them to the accountants. They need to totally redisgned them, they are fossils.
