the name puts images of “E. Honda” from the street fighter games in my brain.
caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
I looked through the instruction manual for Street Fighter II on the Sega Genesis.
The E stands for Edmond.

Yazzz! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_e, and fuck these nay-sayers https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a30690248/honda-e-u-s-market-why/

Amen, sister!! I’ve wanted one of those since they first launched in Europe.

Too bad they discontinued it.

I wouldn’t hold my breath. In some EU countries Honda doesn’t even admit this model exists anymore…
I’m guessing the relatively high price and low mileage might have killed it.

Wow I really like the interior layout of the Space-Hub. Like, why haven’t people done this before? Unless it makes it somehow more dangerous not having seats in the traditional layout, hmm.

Well, as far as crash safety, I would think it would almost always safer to be facing backwards. That’s the way infant car seats are. Facing backward would mean your whole body would absorb the inertia change against the seat and your head would be supported. Better than seat belt bruises and a bobble head imitation, seems like.
That’s assuming the forward facing people in the back row are buckled of course. 60 mph headbutt would be…bad. Turn those seats around too maybe?
jonne@infosec.pub 10 months ago
I think it’s just less space efficient compared to having all the seats facing forward. The actual car will probably have a more traditional layout.

Yeah, it’s just plain hard to get excited about concept cars. Rare to see much of it make it’s way to production.
Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 10 months ago
People keep kicking around new rear-facing seat idea for electric cars. Technically, an electric powertrain should allow for more cabin space, and therefore, creative configuration options.
It’s not an entirely new concept. There are come vans that have rear facing seats, and rear facing seats in wagons were a very hot item in the 80’s.

I’ve known some people that get really car-sick riding backwards.

This really annoys me, too. The layout makes me think there’s new, different information in each spot, but really it’s hardly more than repeating the headline 3 times :(

And y’all thought the guys with RGB lights in their PCs were bad.
Well, now they’re gonna do that to their cars and put em on the fucking road.
Source: I’ve actually seen one with lights dancing around the edges of the front windshield, windows, and back windshield. Fucking distracting shit, shouldn’t be road legal.
Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It’s a concept car. Concept cars are always weird. There is a bunch of stuff on this car that isn’t even street legal in many countries.
When concepts get translated into production, almost all of them become significantly more conservative and get stripped down to become more affordable, and have their designs altered to conform to regulations.
This is intended to be a marketing tool, that’s it. If these things went into production now, they’d be $100k cars that you couldn’t even register.

Nope

Oh look, more really expensive looking electric cars that most can’t afford.
I know it makes sense to start at that end of the market, but damn if it isn’t annoying.

Better than Mitsubishi Zero

My favorite part about Concept Cars posts is how people get mad at how “impractical” they he cars are. I feel like at this point they would know what the purpose of concept cars is by now. Can’t tell if ignorant or stupid.
peopleproblems@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I hate concept cars.
“We could make it look like this, but we really only will make it look like a Civic.”
Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It doesn’t help that their concept cars don’t adhere to a number of mandatory roadway safety regulations, and they are showing off a $30k car that’s made with $150k of materials.
steal_your_face@lemmy.ml 10 months ago
Economies of scale brother. No concept car is ever going cost the same as a manufactured car.
SuperSaiyanSwag@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
The point of concept cars is to throw in all your idea essentially and hoping something sticks. Love it or hate it, but a lot of car innovations have happened because of concept cars. Keyless entry, aerodynamic design, led lighting, collision avoidance system etc.
XTornado@lemmy.ml 10 months ago
Well… We did get Tesla Cybertruck… If that doesn’t look like a concept cart and I do not know what it looks like. Not saying is a good or bad car, the feedback I hear is bad but I do not have one so… Not gonna say.

The 11th gen civic is dope af though. Source: I own one
