Next Gen Honda S2000?

The cover of the latest issue (09.10.08) of Japan's Best Car magazine features a rendering of a yellow roadster and the table of contents asks "New S2000!?"

Also shown on the cover adjacent to the rendering of the yellow roadster are some cropped photos of some sort of roadster prototype, but judging by the small wheels and 4-lug hubs, it doesn't appear to be the S2000 successor. Could it be the long rumored sub-S2000 roadster? A new Beat? (Please?)

Lot's of speculation on this forthcoming vehicle. Here are some links to previous articles that I have put together;

Could This be the 2011 Honda S2000?

Looks like the anticipation for the current S2000 replacement is building. No official word from Honda on this car, and this is only a 'rendered speculation' of what the car may or may not look like.

"While we still haven’t received any official word on the S2000 replacement, Japanese car magazines are at it again drawing up their own renderings of Honda’s next generation rear-wheel-drive roadster. According to T.L. who sent us this latest scan, the unnamed Japanese magazines says that new S2000 is expected to be unveiled in 2010 with worldwide sales starting in 2011. It is stated that Honda’s S2000 will offer buyers more options in terms of powertrains, including two new engines, a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder V-TEC unit delivering approximately 250Hp and a 3.5-litre V6 V-TEC unit with about 350Hp.
