Apparently Honda is considering both a high tech. look and a retro, curvy body style for the next Beat

1.5 liter turbo engine also considered. Could cost $20.000

Too retro, the red one is good, and is a targa.

Same here, that thing is a stunner.

I like the yellow one. But we are never going to see a Kei car for sale in the U.S. except those that are snuck in.

I highly doubt we'll see them here, but it really is a shame.

Even if they are very slow, they would be at least the most visually interesting cars in Honda's US lineup.

Bonus points, and serious consideration from me, if they were to pull an MR2 out from under Toyota, and make these little things mid-engined, RWD, with a 200hp SI version to take on BRZ/FRS.

I say bring them both, as option packages on the same model... Possibly with the retro version being called "classic"

And I vote for an S___ name. Whatever the numbers would end up representing.

The yellow one's front end is too busy and weird for my tastes.

And I can't wait to see them imported to Brazil for 200 Thousand bucks...
