WHAT IS HAPPENING??? IT CAN'T BE, THEY CAN'T DO THIS, THIS IS NOT PROGRESSIVE REEEEEEEEEEE
Cute
>>17875890
Could it be.. A modern car that doesn't have le angry eyes meme?
>>17875895
This. <3
>>17875899
It's the underdog, determination glance.
They mean business now.
Those proportions make my dick hard.
Everything feels fucking right about that concept.
A SPORTS COUPE HATCH FOR THE INCREASING SINGLE MALE POPULATION
>>17875909
depends.
maybe it has a clever room concept that turns the car into a 2 person bed!
reminds me of something
>>17875890
So how badly are they going to fuck it up between concept and actual release?
I really hope Honda is not bullshitting with the new concepts.
I'm slightly hyped already.
>>17875890
MASAKA!
Oni-chan?
>>17875916
The really numb and tired part in me says both concepts will go through several bloating stages until release but the other part has a spark of hope being surprised to see such concepts in the first place.
The proportions are actually completely unique in the whole IAA concept show while the competition either shows completely idiotic future shit that wouldn't work or production near cars that are just more of the same shit but advertised as progressive and groundbreaking.
>>17875890
>i have no mouth
>>17875937
inb4 stays like concept but Japanese release only
>>17875912
god that looks comfy
>>17875941
>he doesn't live in Japan
lol
>>17875940
HOLY SHIT.
No, take a closer look. The madmen even added a hidden Twingo smile.
>>17875937
The main reasoning behind the bloating originally was that hoods have to rise up so that there's more room between the semi-soft hood and the rock hard engine block when you run over some texting pedestrian.
The thing tho is that these are e-cars, so there's no hard engine under there, meaning they can make low front ends now again.
>>17875917
looks like a space age 1980s hatchback
has the 80s A E S T H E T I C gone too far?
>>17875942
yeah tumbling while cornering sure is comfy
>>17875967
>hoods have to rise up
word yo
>>17875971
Don't worry, bench seats aren't even legal anymore, it's just a design brainfart apparently
>>17875968
that's a 1970s hatchback
and not its not gone far enough
>>17875987
that looks kinda handicapped, my dude
>someone on /o/ posts a picture of an Alfa Giulia shooped to twingo
>couple months later Honda unveils the concept in the OP
Really sends your noggin joggin
>>17875992
I fucking swear designers lurk here
>>17875989
dem diabolic windows
>>17875954
Sweet.
>>17875947
shut the fuck up
>>17875890
Honestly looks like a smug pepe, can someone make this?
>>17876324
>claims to like Japanese cars

Put a 1.6 tarbo in it, take on the FiST
Not a fan of the doorstop shape, but the headlamps remind me of a first generation Escort and it's making me moist.
>>17875890
Fuck angry eyes, literally every car I want and can realistically obtain has roundies.
>>17875954
It's like a robo-Twingo.
Looks like an Ep3 with a fucked up face and side windows. Not bad tho if they drop some crazy engine setup in it and sell it for cheaper than the competition.
>>17876600
>fucked up face
It looks miles better than the uggo Type R face.
>>17875975
>bench seats aren't even legal
Nearly all modern trucks have a bench seat option and can seat 6 pretty comfortably
>>17875912
We get to play Mirror's Edge while driving? That's rad.
>>17876603
It's the huge unused space under the grill that makes the concept weird like there's something that was supposed to be there.
It's probably where they'll put the huge 'active aero' vents on the type R version.
Fucking dammit, Honda. The dream is dead.
I just found an article from fucking 2012 about it and the guy had the right idea:
"[...]but given Honda's propensity for draining the personality from its concepts on the way to production (at least the ones that don't look showroom ready), we don't hold much hope for the Gear."
Same will probably happen with the Urban EV. Fucking losers.
>>17876642
forgot the link: https://www.autoblog.com/2013/01/18/honda-gear-concept-explored-at-montreal-auto-show/
>>17876642
...
it was too pure for this world.
and honda is faggot.
>>17875994
we do.
>>17875890
This is fucking dope.
The thing I can't stand with any car though is seating position, these small cars almost always have shallow footwells and wheels that don't telescope far enough. This is why I have a hard time driving anything other than my BMW
>>17876827
Why do the cars you design look like garbo then?
>>17876647
its four years old :'(
>>17875937
>but the other part has a spark of hope being surprised to see such concepts in the first place
There is definitely something to this. I would never in a million years expect modern day Honda to put out a concept like this, and yet they did.
>>17875890
honda has always had progressive designs like the civic 2 gens ago or so.
>>17876827
Spoopy
>>17875890
make it MR and manual and I'd be all over that shit
please don't be just another boring FF hatch
>>17877002
well honda fucked it up either way, like always, see
>>17876642
>>17876647
>>17877006
Rest in pepperoni, we hardly knew ye
So I guess this won't happen either, despite them officially saying it will come 2019 to Japan and Yurop
>>17875890
This looks so much better than the current bs aesthetic Honda has. I havnt hates a car more than the current gen civic with the gay lights and black plastic wheels.
>>17876827
OOOOOOO!!!!!
Bro, I want a standard cab long bed pickup that's not fuckhuge and $55k. Can you just do something like the old c10 squarebodies? What was wrong with that? Thanks.
>>17877021
well if it does it'll look nothing like that
at best it'll turn into a "special" version of the Fit with bench seats or something
>>17877022
It really does.
Hence I really CAN NOT see this >>17877021 happening at all.
Most likely it will have tree sized pillars, microscopic windows and the front similar to the Civic only smaller and more cramped and constipated looking
>>17875890
>>17876642
>>17877014
It seriously looks like some old designer from the 80's and 90's era came back for a last visit, doing a model and leaving for good.
>>17877034
I would do horrific, horrific things for a 3-door fit.
>>17877037
The refreshed Fit got shrunken fake vents, probably in response to the backlash against the Civic. I like to think they're learning.
>>17877034
>bench seats
Bench seats are the first thing that gets thrown out because not legally possible anymore
im not fond of this kind of subcompact hatchback, but I love the front's look.
i think we're overdue for a 21st century revival of the sealed beam look
>>17875942
was about to write that.
just look at that furry carpet... makes me wanna take my shoes off.
>>17875890
the front is fucking hideous
>>17877434
Yeah. The headlights don't even come to a sharp point half way up the fender. Looks like my granddad's car lol.
>>17875890
Oh shit, I like this.
>>17875941
>mfw UK
>mfw could just import it with zero issues
>>17877434
t. modern auto """designer"""
>>17877477
feels good to drive on the correct side
>>17875994
We do
>>17876827
>>17877593
Downloading Maya over torrents does not make you a car designer
>>17877593
"!"
OOOOOH look at those wide windows. We need more cute looking 3-door mini hatches
>>17875968
>>17875917
looks like it's supposed to resemble the first two gens of civics
