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.
Economies of scale brother. No concept car is ever going cost the same as a manufactured car.
That’s not the point. The point is that the concept car was a lie.
Giant class, gull wing doors, dashboard robotics, full dash OLEDs panels. You’re looking features and components that best a Model X / Cyber Truck. If they can get that down to a Honda level price range, that would be dope, but I have my doubts. A lot of things are all features that you get in cars that start at $80k… and this is more elaborate.
And, more importantly, this wouldn’t even be street legal. Mirrors, markers, etc. This was never intended to be what ships.
Fair
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.
Well… We did get Tesla Cybertruck… If that doesn’t look like a concept car then I do not know what it looks like. At least the exterior.
Not saying is a good or bad car, the feedback I hear is bad but I do not have one so… Not gonna say.
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/
That thang cute
It is!! I’m a big fan of Honda Civics, and really would love love love to go electric.
Too bad they discontinued it.
Amen, sister!! I’ve wanted one of those since they first launched in Europe.
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.
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
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.
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.

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 :(
