Another Honda 'Concept'.....

....that appears 'interesting'. While it looks kind of cool, I don't know if I could get past the seating arrangement.

Your thoughts?

Well that sure looks like that smart concept/patent for a three passenger vehicle.
Someone is going to build that seating layout eventually.

It's not a new idea, the McLaren F1 had this sitting arrangement. I would love a mid ship set up for a sports car, it's nice for perfect weight distribution.

Honda Outsight?

Well, if we know anything about Honda, they'll most likely make some sort of production vehicle out of this idea.

In a heartbeat if it were a plug-in electric and not too pricey...just the ticket for commuting the short distance that I do. (6 miles/day)

Bring it on!

I like it, but they need to give it a more aggressive name like "Tiger Shark."
