    They look great imo, but the full self driving is a pipe dream.

      I dunno. If there is a culture that I think has innovated great ideas into reality it’s the Japanese car companies. They took what we wanted in the 80s and made it happen. Then kept doing it.

    Someone at Honda looked at the failure that is the Cybertruck and was like “Huh… not bad”

      The difference here is that the car in the picture is a concept car, which very very rarely ever makes it to production as is. The Cybertruck is the exception to that rule…

    It looks like the head of a vacuum cleaner. Or a Star Trek TOS phaser.

    Wait, no side mirrors AND you can’t see out the back? I guess you can only ever go forward in this thing or just hope there’s nothing behind you ever (I’m guessing they have rear-facing cameras, but those suck).

      They are awesome! It’s like what I imagined the future would be when I was a little kid. They’re ugly and weird, but the sporty one is cool. Shit, I’d even take the van if the range is good.

      They’re concept cars. Concept cars always look weird. The actual production models won’t look anything like them; they never do.

      Back to the Future II vibes. Never mind that its “future” setting was nine years ago…

    Ever notice how all the new selling points for cars are all things to avoid the experience of driving a car:

    -self driving (because why would you want to drive a car)

    -giant screens (because why would you want to look at all the shitty strip malls)

    -tinted windows (because you wouldn’t want to be seen driving this piece of shit)

      Don’t use it/pay for self driving option

      -giant screens (because why would you want to look at all the shitty strip malls)

      People have been putting screens in cars for a very long time.

      -tinted windows (because you wouldn’t want to be seen driving this piece of shit)

      People have been tinting windows for a very long time

        Are you trying to counter what the other commenter said or trying to make a point or something? Because you really have not at all.

    The low, sloping shape gives it a sporty feel that cribs from Honda’s Formula 1 experience.

    So the car will be terrible for several years, then they’ll bring out a model that’s amazing with sales going through the roof, and then they’ll immediately pull out of the market.

    It seemed like Honda was going in the right direction with the eCity, but so much for that, I guess.

    Why do these concept vehicles always have to look this dumb and impractical? Why can’t we get EU sized personal electric vehicles? Think Fiat 500 or the Renault Twingo?

        Also because of the way emissions standards are enforced in the US, SUVs and trucks are held to lower emissions standards making them more profitable. They receive the heaviest marketing and therefore sell the most.

        Holy fuck, do I love capitalism.
