I don't think that Honda would let us down. They are notorious for feeding magazines vague information though 
They have been doing extensive studies that included current S2000 owners. Asking about likes and dislikes from a wide range of demographics. One of the main points that was certainly emphasized on (at least in the study group that I participated with) was to maintain the heritage and sharpness of the car.
I could keep rambling on in much detail about this, but you can also find more info. and design ideas on this thread:
Design Study
With regards to the iconic NSX- surely they will not dissapoint the majority of current model NSX owner's and enthusiast. They will just take the time to do it right.
BTW- (& this is off topic) only dissappointment I have seen with Honda design wise is with the new Civic's 2 tier IP. They were trying to be a little too different. Eventhough it is not my market, I hope they will change it on the next refresh.

IMO it would be a good follow-up to the beloved NSX. I'm not grooving at all on the other 3 concept cars though.

Is it just me or do all three of those look pretty much the same? Either way I say blah.
They look like every other concept car. Too similar to the RX8 as well. Uninspired. The replacement for the s2k needs to remain a small roadster, those concept cars just seem too big to retain the nimble handling that we currently enjoy.
The HSC, on the other hand, is a formidable updated version of the current NSX.
