I really like the Honda EV concepts

They’re the first EVs to actually get me a bit excited for the coming onslaught of electric cars. If more of them can be designed this well, I’m very intrigued. I’d love something like the Urban EV concept as a daily. Much better than a Leaf, or a Bolt. It’s refreshing to see a company realizing that electric cars don’t have to be shapeless blobs. It’s also nice to see Honda put effort into a design, instead of just throwing angles at everything.

I’m sure they’d be out of my budget, but if they are produced fairly close to these concepts, I could see myself wanting them, which is something I can’t say about any current EVs.

The Mk1 GTI and 2000GT would like a word about the styling

I really enjoy the styling on both of these as well.

Not sold on replacing the grille with a display that reads weird messages to other people.

Why are we designing these as if there is an engine under the hood of these cars? Give me a real electric car, not some poseur that’s trying to fit in with ICE vehicles.

I see more 1st gen Civic than GTI in the one on the right.

Looks like a 2000GT and a Corrado. These are not bad things.

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > Smallbear wants a modern Syclone, local Maple Leafs spammer 10/25/2017 at 13:54

Make the wheels on the hatch about 3 inches smaller and I’m sold

The whole car has crumple zones, not just empty lie of a long front hood.

This is what peak performance looks like.

Forget that electric nonsense! Put the 1.5?? l turbo from the new Si in that retro Civic and now we’re talking.

It was designed to resemble the S600 Coupe.

Come to think of it, it’s as much the wheels as anything else. Still.

Because that’s the only way to get people excited about electric cars.

Yep.

That’s exactly why I like them so much

Yeah I’m hoping the production version will do away with that, and the weird screens in the doors.

That would be excellent

These are electric and Honda (Earth Dreams, trademark!) so they have a veeeeery slight chance of being put into production. Although they won’t look this awesome.

I really, really dig em.

Even ignoring that they’re EVs, they’re the best looking concepts to come from Honda for a long time

Step 1) Buy it

Step 2) remove all golf cart electrical crap

step 3) insert fast engine and manual transmission

step 4) live happily ever after

If Toyota doesn’t actually make the SF-R, that’s the next best option.

I do too. They are simple designs. Going away from the intake-holes-everywhere design philosophy of recent.

On a side note the grill display system could be a very useful tool for manufacturers.

I thought Nissan should do a new Pao electric, or petrol for that matter.

Or both, that would be awesome. Nissan should be doing a lot of things, but instead they made the Murano CrossCab

I’m fine with it if it’s usable space like a frunk. I have a hatchback and sometimes I with I had a trunk

They won’t do it with the fit so I doubt they’d do it for a smaller car

the one on the right looks like a frog who is disappointed about something

I think rs the flat hood line that that brings out the GTI look.

Oh, no contest. I’d even take out the words “from Honda,” and say that they’re among the best in the last 5-10 years, from anywhere.

I imagine It’s disappointed that it probably won’t be a production car

I really like the one on the right, wheels and all. So long as I can still be the one driving, Id totally go there

The one on the right looks like a modern rip off copy of a 1st generation VW Golf or rabbit to me

They’re going for the first gen Civic, but I thought Rabbit when I first saw it too
