Definitely NOT the next CR-X
Designed at Honda R&D in Europe in Offenbach, Germany, the Small Hybrid Sport Concept is their interpretation of what the next Insight might take shape as.
The SHSC was designed around a front-drive platform powered by a Honda Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) gas-electric hybrid system with a CVT transmission. Despite cool features like what looks like an very aero-efficient body, rear view cameras negating actual mirrors, and skinny165/60 tires, odd proportions and an unsophisticated design execution make the Honda concept look dated despite a supposed expression of future technologies.
A hydrogen car you'll be able to buy
We've already seen Honda's fuel cell FCX Concept as a non-running prototype at car show's here in North America. But here in Geneva, the FCX makes its debut a fully functional vehicle you can actually drive.
Honda claims the FCX has a practical driving range of 570 kilometres and a top speed limited to 160 km/h. The Japanese company stated that limited marketing of a totally new fuel cell vehicle based on the FCX will start in Japan and the States in 2008.
