Honda @ Tokyo Motor Show 2004
I thought I'd start a thread for all the cars and concepts that Honda is bringing to the Tokyo Motor Show, so here we go.

Personally, I'm a little ambivalent, though I can be somewhat marginal when it comes to vehicle choice.

Why do all the manufacturers make these way out concepts that will never see the light of day?
I see the Japanese still prefer their wine form France.

That PV dashboard is too cool.
But they all look like go-bots to me.

The Xb's goal was the same thing and has been a huge hit with the younger crowd.
From my understanding, the next gen of the Cube is coming here from NIssan.

I see about half old people and half young people driving xB. I think the popularity is split out here. I don't think the East Coast is as into what's cool as SoCal

you know, for some reason, when you see those micro-class cars in Japan, they don't look so bad... but once you get 'em here in the States, they kinda lose their normalcy.

The Honda That's has been in production since 2002 I believe...and there's a turbo variant.
Japanese K-Cars would prolly look normal if the typical North American car wasn't so freaking huge and American design wasn't so bland. I'd say if Honda wanted to follow in the xB's footsteps, they should bring over the Mobilio Spike. It is just as clever and utilitarian as the Element, oddly shaped for the JDM freaks, and has a pretty big aftermarket support.
