    I really wish car companies would actually release production models that looked like the concept models. These look so goddamn cool.

    I don’t need to see out the back if I’m staring into the future!

      No you don’t. They look cool and get you thinking you want them. However if you ever had to live with them instead of just looking you would quickly discover some of those cool looking things make for very annoying compromises and so you wouldn’t want them.

      I also think they’re cool. I also wouldn’t own one because of how incredibly out of place they look.

    No real specs are being released, but Honda says these future EVs will be both partially and fully autonomous, depending on the configuration.

    Doubt

    Don’t worry, folks. Most of the time, concept cars exist solely to look interesting and get people talking, especially when it’s from a major manufacturer. I’m sure the production model will be much more boring appealing to the masses.

    Marginally nicer looking than the cybertruck. I would steal this in GTA if I played GTA and it was a car in the game

    The low, sloping shape gives it a sporty feel that cribs from Honda’s Formula 1 experience.

    So the car will be terrible for several years, then they’ll bring out a model that’s amazing with sales going through the roof, and then they’ll immediately pull out of the market.

    Just make a regular looking car that happens to be EV. I don’t know why manufacturers have to make the dumbest looking vehicles for their EV cars.

      I’m with you on this. I feel like manufacturers still feel like people are wanting to make a statement by making EVs look like their suited for spaceflight. I’d rather have near similar looking models to what we’ve already got with the combustion engine, with aerodynamic considerations for efficiency baked in.

      Lots of visibility with such a small front end, but it’ll make head-on collisions scarier, also, imo. Looks aerodynamic, too. I’d have no issue rocking this for my daily.

    I’m been hearing about all sorts of electric vehicles that will be available “a few years from now” for over five years now. The few that have come out are expensive and have compromises. Guess I’ll be sticking with my plug-in hybrid for quite a while longer.

    We need some more future cars like this.

    Why does all our shit looks like someone just smoothed out the cars from the 90s?

    I really hope that back end is the charging port and you get to park you car like one of those toy cars that you you ‘charge’ up and fire across the room.
