if it had a rear diffuser similar to the new mustangs (just simpler) and a more rounded front grill/headlight area like the Dodge Challenger, I would lovvveee it. Still interested though!

So are the text messages in the bumpers programmable by the driver?

I'm not a hatch fan, but I love this design, which came out close to the concept. If I wanted a daily to supplement the 86 that was an EV then I would consider this at the top of my list.

<3 They look like toys that have been been hit with a grow-ray.
They are never going to build a S2000 successor or 86 competitor, but at least we could have this and I bet it would be relatively affordable. |

My long term goal once I own a house is a small peppy and guilt free EV commuter to supplement my gas burning weekend car habit. I don’t care about range if all it is doing is taking me from my hypothetical home to work and back. This would be absolutely perfect. And would look great sitting a little bit low on some watanabe style wheels. But it’ll never come to the US, just like the other cool small EVs (like the ID3)

I do like hatches, I do like small cars, and I loved this one. It's even better than the first concept designs. A Type-R version of this car, would be a dream car for me. French's also made a very nice design lately: A GTI version of this one Yaris gr4 is also great.. And Suzuki Swift sport.. I even loved the new Hyundai i10..Man what is happening to me.. wait.. my car looks way better than these.. Last edited by korhun; 02-01-2020 at 05:36 PM. |

This is how you get me into the EV game....something interesting.
I'd be scared of the plethora of screens inside though... Anyone find it backwards that instead of having side mirrors that use 0 electricity, they put cameras in its place and screens to project that image that use electricity in an all electric car where range is at a premium and any electricity savings could be a boon? May not use alot of electricity for those things but it has to be on full time for proper function..... |

If they had made it a full-on Honda CVCC retro, I would have liked the design better. This one looks too much like a toy to me.
Regardless, I'm not the target audience for this even if it was coming to the US anyway. It's range doesn't even cover my daily commute with a margin of error. I agree with @Sasquachulator about the cameras, although I would say there is a slim possibility that the aero improvement from using the side cameras offsets the electric use.

Range is pretty pathetic for the money they want to charge for this.

Chris Harris reviewed the Honda E on a recent Top Gear. The full review isn't avaliable yet but there are a couple of snippets.
About the range (personally he's wrong, the range sucks on a NEW EV, particularly for this price). and a follow-up discussion that covers most of what he says when driving it. In the end, I don't really care for it but I can see where some folks do. I would have liked it when I was in my 20s and was driving my Civic CVCC wagon which I loved.
