I love the stupidity of the writing of these aritcles.
...providing the automotive answer for young, urban, Gen-Y lifestyles... ...Inspired by fixed-gear bicycles. ...Gear is simple and utilitarian, but also customizable, connected and full of personality... ...Everything that young, discerning urban buyers would want in a car... Behold the marketing BS. They said the exact same thing about the Honda Element and it became the poster child car for Senior citizens. It is a nice car to look at. I can say that. It is not copying anything I can tell, which is a good sign from honda. |

I'd be happy if they could continue to come up with unique styling like this and revise their entire lineup. They seriously need a sports car/coupe, and not some ridiculous halo supercar that 500 people will buy that they think they need because every other big manufacturer seems to have one.
This is interesting, but I hate the targeting of the hipster urbanite as a valid market that is seemingly large enough to produce exclusively for and yet the sports car segment is ignored. |

no doubt, the hipster urbanite does not even want a car nor can they afford one or have one to park.

And with car2go and zipcar, there is almost no reason anyone living in a dense urban environment would ever need to take those responsibilities on in the first place.

Hey Honda! Whoever designed this concept...give him a bigger role in design, and put this thing into production without screwing it up!

I'm not feeling it. Looks like a Golf had sex with an ep3 si with the face of a frog. Not my cup of tea

I find it hard to believe that this sub-compact needs drilled rotors like shown in the photo

It's a concept, which always features awesome looking stuff that has no place on the end product. |

Back on topic... The new front end on the Honda is awesome, reminds me of the early 80s civic... Just wish they'd square up the back a bit Last edited by sential; 01-20-2013 at 01:13 PM. |
