aren't those by design students long time ago?????

 

I like the first one too. Minus the hood.

 

Looks like the design students spent to much time looking at Mercedes Concept Cars.

 

so we'll wait for 6 years ```

 

No, we won't wait for six years. IMO the s2000 is done after 08.

 

very interesting!

 

There is an article in the most recent Road and Track issue. The S2000 replacement for 07(or 08) is going to be a V8 coupe with AWD from the RL... There is a picture of what it's going to look like and it doesn't resemble the S2000 at all. It's not even a convertible??? WTF..

 

i like #2...

 

I'm actually a fan of the last one. As far as concept cars go, I can see the design of that car being a needed bold design change by Honda. It's bold enough to give it some style without being too flashy or gadgety. Of course, some refinement will have to occur for it to be a production car, but I can still see that actually being developed into something cool. Even still, you have to wonder what cars will look like in another 10 years. Look back at 10 years ago to today, I would have never dreamed some of these cars would catch on like they did.

 

WTF is right! It looks like a hodge-podge of crap

Honda XGA
A new type of sports car.

The internal name given to the S2000's replacement is XGA. We had thought all along that the XGA would be a 4-door sports car showcasing Honda's SH-AWD system used in the RL and its advanced hybrid technology (remember the Dual Note concept car?). Well, now we're hearing the company is leaning toward producing a coupe based on the RL platform, but equipping it with either the V-8 or V-10 for the NSX replacement.

Honda will surely equip the luxury coupe with its SH-AWD system, creating a car that would match up with the likes of the Nissan GT-R. If the XGA and the next NSX make it to production as we foresee, it would mean that all of Honda's sporty cars would be awd. Could Honda be trying to redefine the classic sports-car formula, and change the way we think about sports cars and awd? It's a definite possibility because Honda has expressed that much confidence in the capabilities of its SH-AWD.

The XGA will be front engine and look quite different from the RL, and it may go head-to-head with the GT-R. A hint of its styling may be seen in the Sports4 Concept shown at the Tokyo Motor Show.

While it's still too early to tell when this car will be available, we're sure that Honda is hard at work to reestablish its image as one of the world's leading sports-car makers. It shouldn't be long after the end of the S2000's run that we'll start seeing exciting new stuff from this technology-driven company.
