Forget the CR-Z...

Honda is talking about stuff for the Tokyo show.

This is the Small Sports EV concept




No, the name isn't the greatest, but it looks pretty cool in the drawings. It's supposed to be an all electric roadster that is the spiritual successor to the Beat. You might not know the Beat unless you just know Japanese kei cars, or you played a lot of Gran Turismo (eg. "Beat the Beat" from GT2)

There isn't a lot of technical detail in their release, but there was an interesting paragraph about their motorcycles which names INTEGRA as one of the models to be shown... surprised that name is going on a bike.

Re: Forget the CR-Z...

Will the production version exude blue light from its crevasses? If no, then do not want...

Actually it's not a bad concept. But the direction Honda's styling has taken means in production version, it's going to look like a Fit convertible.

I like the design alot (even if there weren't blue lights).

But waits to see the production version.

I'm still sort of waiting for the specs on the battery pack. A little EV would be fun, but if the range blows, especially under "spirited" driving than that wouldn't be too fun. Think Tesla Roadster on the Top Gear track.

Hmm, that shape looks way to complex for production...at a realistic price point. It looks like a lambo, snd nothing economical looks like a lambo.

Dude I like that! The name I could take or leave.

The front reminds me of a BMW concept while the back looks a bit like a Lambo or Ferrari...
