Honda announces a new line of electric cars, the Honda 0::Honda unveiled two concept vehicles at the Consumer Electronics show in Las Vagas that offer an early look at an upcoming line of electric cars.
I hate concept cars.
“We could make it look like this, but we really only will make it look like a Civic.”
It doesn’t help that their concept cars don’t adhere to a number of mandatory roadway safety regulations, and they are showing off a $30k car that’s made with $150k of materials.
The point of concept cars is to throw in all your idea essentially and hoping something sticks. Love it or hate it, but a lot of car innovations have happened because of concept cars. Keyless entry, aerodynamic design, led lighting, collision avoidance system etc.
The 11th gen civic is dope af though. Source: I own one
Just bring the Honda-e over here ffs.
the name puts images of “E. Honda” from the street fighter games in my brain.
I looked through the instruction manual for Street Fighter II on the Sega Genesis.
The E stands for Edmond.
Yazzz! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_e, and fuck these nay-sayers https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a30690248/honda-e-u-s-market-why/
Amen, sister!! I’ve wanted one of those since they first launched in Europe.
Too bad they discontinued it.
I wouldn’t hold my breath. In some EU countries Honda doesn’t even admit this model exists anymore…
I’m guessing the relatively high price and low mileage might have killed it.
Am I the only one who thinks the Saloon looks like a Countach?
Yeah, I can see that. The silhouette, has some countach vibes.
Although I could also argue that the front profile has original Dust Buster energy.
Nope
Oh look, more really expensive looking electric cars that most can’t afford.
I know it makes sense to start at that end of the market, but damn if it isn’t annoying.
Better than Mitsubishi Zero
And y’all thought the guys with RGB lights in their PCs were bad.
Well, now they’re gonna do that to their cars and put em on the fucking road.
Source: I’ve actually seen one with lights dancing around the edges of the front windshield, windows, and back windshield. Fucking distracting shit, shouldn’t be road legal. I don’t exactly live in the biggest or most wild of cities, so if that shit is driving around here, it’s elsewhere, too.
It’s a concept car. Concept cars are always weird. There is a bunch of stuff on this car that isn’t even street legal in many countries.
When concepts get translated into production, almost all of them become significantly more conservative and get stripped down to become more affordable, and have their designs altered to conform to regulations.
This is intended to be a marketing tool, that’s it. If these things went into production now, they’d be $100k cars that you couldn’t even register.
My favorite part about Concept Cars posts is how people get mad at how “impractical” the cars are. I feel like at this point they would know what the purpose of concept cars is by now. Can’t tell if ignorant or stupid.

This really annoys me, too. The layout makes me think there’s new, different information in each spot, but really it’s hardly more than repeating the headline 3 times :(
