Honda REMIX - Future Models + Concepts

Honda REMIX
Sports Car. Reinvented
Meet the Honda REMIX - sports car rediscovered. It's pure sport, with a nimble drive from a 4-cylinder engine, 6-speed manual transmission, sport suspension and aggressive tires and brakes. Yet the rear storage area supplies generous cargo room, adding real-world practicality for the everyday drive. It is function leaping ahead, design bounding even further. The style truly embraces this, with geometric shapes forming solid utility and fluid lines fashioning its sports car persona. These are familiar Honda themes, wrapped in a lightweight and agile performance package. Because beyond simply what a car looks like in an auto show, it's how it will perform when the tires meet the road.


Honda : Step Bus Concept

Honda Step Bus Concept
LIVE LARGE

Go ahead, live large. Because Honda introduces a true multi-tasker in its micro-sized Step Bus concept, a vehicle capable of providing large functionality in its generous interior while remaining micro in exterior personality. Honda's packaging prowess in a bold new design. It highlights a highly adaptable interior with its many configurations and modular construction as well as its five-passenger seating—all in a mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive package. The Step Bus is also a high-tech guru, boasting a next-generation navigation system with real-time, street-level traffic, a Web browser, and an audio system that can directly download music from the Internet. The Step Bus concept embraces the direction of vehicle design for high-energy lifestyles: bold architectural styles, urban utility and technological dexterity.

Honda INSIGHT : Future Models + Concepts

INSIGHT
a hybrid revelation

The Revelation
This October at the Paris Auto Show, Honda will reveal a concept version of our new small hybrid vehicle— with spirited performance and all the amenities you’d expect. This new car will be priced significantly lower than hybrids available today, making it possible for more people to drive hybrids.
The Name
What do you call such a car? Honda delivered the first mass-production hybrid model to the U.S. and Europe back in 1999, the Honda Insight. Perfect name, right? Now used for our newest hybrid, the name honors our historical commitment to environmentally responsible technology. Takeo Fukui, Honda Motor Co., Ltd. CEO put it best:

"The original Honda Insight pioneered hybrid technology in the U.S. and remains a symbol of Honda's commitment to innovative technology and fuel efficiency. This new Insight will break new ground as an affordable hybrid within the reach of customers who want great fuel economy and great value."

The Insight
The Insight sports a unique style and sophisticated design, sharing styling cues with the groundbreaking FCX Clarity fuel cell vehicle. The Insight concept, a futuristic five-door hatchback, is powered by a new lighter weight and efficient Integrated Motor Assist IMA® system that offers great performance. And there’s no shortage of amenities to liven up your commute.
The Timing
When can you get your hands on your very own Insight? Luckily you won't have to wait long. It goes on sale in the U.S. during the spring of 2009. In the meantime, check back here for photos, news and live updates direct from the Paris Auto Show October 4-19, 2008.
Bring on the Hybrids
Following the launch of the new Insight, Honda also plans to introduce another unique sporty hybrid vehicle based on the CR-Z Concept, first shown at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show. CR-Z is Honda's new hybrid sports car, and the name stands for "Compact Renaissance Zero." Two new hybrids from Honda. The news can't get much better than that.

Honda CR-Z : Future Models + Concepts



Honda's legacy of world-changing technological progress and stunning design evolution are an advancing testament to the future of the automobile. For Honda's engineers, the future is now. Imagination taken further. It is their unwavering dedication to future developments – from fuel-cell technology and limitless functionality to breathtaking and unique vehicle designs – that continues Honda's tradition of fresh ideas, true safety and exciting drives. Because, at Honda, it isn't about changing the look of a car, it's about changing the world of the automobile.

Future Models + Concepts :
Honda CR-Z
CR-Z.
A sporty hybrid concept from Honda.

Futuristic styling. Hybrid power. Advanced interior design. And it’s all wrapped up in a lightweight, fun-to-drive package. What a concept! It’s the Honda CR-Z concept, to be exact—and it made its North American debut at the 2008 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit.

Shorthand for “Compact Renaissance Zero,” the CR-Z is a forward-thinking exercise in inspired design and environmental technology. The CR-Z draws its inspiration from a need to deliver spirited performance in an efficient manner. It is our goal to deliver a small CR-Z-based hybrid in the near future as part of our commitment to help effect positive environmental change. So keep on the lookout for more details about the CR-Z.
