They all look good so far. A lot better than the body kits that's already out there that people spend thousands to get.

But that's just me.

I like all the low offsets in the concepts. Photochops or not.

Not just you. I agree that a lot of people with S2000s make the car look much different and much worse from the original and classic styling. Some do it better too, so don't think I am bashing S2000 owners en masse. I will let each owner decide into which category his car falls.
hondaBeater- I like the silver and red concepts you posted. The silver one looks like an S2000 was put in a blender with a C6 and a Viper. It is also highly unrealistic, but still fun to study. The red one is more original and realistic for a next gen S car (if they decided to make it...).
I think Honda will just keep this car around and not change anything until about 2012. By doing this, of course, they will drive the value of all S2000s into the ground. By that time, I will have paid off my S2000 and probably purchased a nice stable-mate for her that will likely not be a Honda nor Acura.

There seems to be an irrevocable rule that when a car company brings out a car that is an instant classic, they have to bring out successor models that are bigger, fatter and uglier. Compare the original 240Z with todays inverted bathtub, and I think you will know what I'm talking about. Compare the small Honda Civics of a few years back with the mid-sized cars with Civic badges today, and you will know what I'm talking about. Looks like this fate awaits for the S2000.

^^I'd like to see more of this one. Especially the front fascia.
Bad news is this thing looks "heavy"(3000-3300 lbs. heavy). Could honda be building a corvette fighter?

^^I thought this was Jaguars ugly little brother the first time I saw it. Or possibly the next gen solctice.

Yes, make it!!!!! My biggest concern is whether they will produce the car or not. I'll worry about the minor issues when I see it in the prototype and concept forms. I also could care less if he car put on 200-300 extra lbs if that mean I'm getting 270-300hp and 250-270 lb trq. AND HEATED SEAT.

As of now non of those concepts are going to go into production until people start buying cars again.
