Frankfurt International Motor show 2017

Once every decade or so Honda comes out with some kind of new car I instantly fall in love with. It happened with the CRX of the 80s, the NSX and the 3-cyl 2 seater Beat of the 90's, new Type-R gens of the 00's, and finally after some gap – again today from the Frankfurt Motor Show, with this simply exquisite little all electric vehicle. Personally I think this is a great new direction for Honda, and a 'back to basics' approach, a hark to thier origins, whilst remaining cutting edge, stylish, and right in the moment.
Again, what an utterly adorable, cute car. I want 3 of them in different colors!

Design is a homage to the 1970's Honda hatchbacks and looks just right in fusion of retro-futuristic

Grill and rear features an LED panel where you can display a message or communicate with others

Futuristic interior includes retro touches like use of the wood wraparound dash and cloth bench seats, yet has a high tech wraparound touchscreen display

The interior is beautifully finished, in concept car style (one wonders and waits to see how much will make it into a production version). It reminds me of something like a mini Rolls Royce, if they made a car this size. Especially with the suicide doors (doors that open out the opposite way to normal car doors). Simple, yet so elegant.

Looks kinda small inside! Is anything said about the auto pilot yet?:) And what is the exterior made from? Very futuristic car, I can clearly see it on the streets in a couple of years! Thanks for sharing!

Let's hope you get to drive it yourself! seems you will have to plug in to charge it, just like a smartphone. Space? I think could be quite surprising, all the battery pack will be underneath and inside has front and rear bench seats ... old school! Yes perhaps small, but hey it's still cute :)
