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.
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
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.
Amen, sister!! I’ve wanted one of those since they first launched in Europe.
Wow I really like the interior layout of the Space-Hub. Like, why haven’t people done this before? Unless it makes it somehow more dangerous not having seats in the traditional layout, hmm.
Well, as far as crash safety, I would think it would almost always safer to be facing backwards. That’s the way infant car seats are. Facing backward would mean your whole body would absorb the inertia change against the seat and your head would be supported. Better than seat belt bruises and a bobble head imitation, seems like.
That’s assuming the forward facing people in the back row are buckled of course. 60 mph headbutt would be…bad. Turn those seats around too maybe?
People keep kicking around new rear-facing seat idea for electric cars. Technically, an electric powertrain should allow for more cabin space, and therefore, creative configuration options.
It’s not an entirely new concept. There are come vans that have rear facing seats, and rear facing seats in wagons were a very hot item in the 80’s.
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
Better than Mitsubishi Zero

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 :(
