*sigh*

God, I hope this isn't the future of the automobile.

From TFA: Honda says, "The goal was to create a personable design with the feel of an adorable pet."

Inimitable

I believe that's the 2010 Diesel Accord.

I want one, but I have a feeling its safety measures are more designed for slow-moving Japanese street traffic, and I would die.

Inimitable:Thanks for the Nekobus. I was going to go with a Hello Kitty interior but yours is better. Maybe Honda will take the hint.

I bought a Nekobus in Tokyo in the late 80s. It cost 1 yen per cm in Japan. 1 year later at an anime convention in the US the same thing sold for 10x the amount and they still sold out.

Chameleon I want one, but I have a feeling its safety measures are more designed for slow-moving Japanese street traffic, and I would die.

Exactly, I don't think I would survive one day in that car around DC.

/mod erase my previous fail plz.

I had to read that headline twice before I realized it didn't say "Puto".

hmmm, I remember the last time we all laughed at Japanese cars... not so much laughing now huh?

"talks to passing pedestrians while stopped in traffic."

Hey, move your fat ass!

Link farked already? Any pictures?

I have a production cel from Totoro.
But I would rather have Today


named my GTI for her

I laugh at the dumbasses who buy Japanese cars, when I look at them in my rear view mirror.

THE CAR OF THE FUTURE

...is ugly as sin

Isn't Puyo Spanish slang for "fark"?

It's, if I recall, Japanese onomatapoeia (spelling is wrong, I guarantee it) for a cute 'squish'.

This. I googled it and it looks like a turd with wheels under it.

Thank you very much. It is as horrid as I had hoped.

I would rather be seen riding this:



It's the new dork-o-matic!

LordJiro: THE CAR OF THE FUTURE

...is ugly as sin

Wow, it's even worse than a smart car...

LordJiro: THE CAR OF THE FUTURE

...is ugly as sin

Still looks better than the Aztek

Barakku: Wow, it's even worse than a smart car...

Don't hate on the Smart Fortwo.

Speaking of the "Car of the Future",

WHERE'S MY DAMN TURBINE POWERED FIREBIRD III DAMMIT?

But seriously, who hasn't wanted to drive a 1957 Hamilton-Beach toaster.

I don't think so.

FTA "Features luminous fluid meter displays, and a joystick"

It's nice to see that they straightened out their priorities...

/I loled

The all tentacled interior is what really sells it.

LordJiro: THE CAR OF THE FUTURE

Aww, really? I think it actually is pretty cute!

Ghastly: The all tentacled interior is what really sells it.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, naughty tentacle action.

Actually, it's kinda cool. Would draw a stupid grin on the front, and reprogram it to spout obscenities.

/I mean, hey, who wouldn't want to drive a suppository?

Anyone else notice TFA is over 4 months old?

Nothing like old news.

It could make my coffee in the morning on the drive to work, download music from iTunes based on a list of favorites and listening preferences, order my groceries, and drive me home automagically from the bar. I still wouldn't drive.

It looks like a fetus.

At least parking should be easy....

reminds me of...

"Puyo" is Japanese for Kujo.
Don't piss this thing off.

Honda introduces the Puyo: A soft, seamless, cartoon-like vehicle that glows in the dark and talks to passing pedestrians

Imagine the fun you could have driving a glow in the dark talking car in Redneckville at night without the headlights on!

/If the UFO hotline limits you to one call a day....
//Buckshot might be a problem

TeddyRooseveltsMustache: Barakku: Wow, it's even worse than a smart car...

Don't hate on the Smart Fortwo.

All the smug of a hybrid, with all the inelegance of design of a shiatty sci-fi movie.

Why can't I have a hybrid that looks like a regular car?

It'll sell in souther US as the Puto

ScottMpls: "talks to passing pedestrians while stopped in traffic."

Hey, move your fat ass!

well played, sir

Test drove the smart. was unimpressed.

Well, that's just silly... in other words, the Japanese will eat it up...

FTH:...glows in the dark and talks to passing pedestrians while stopped in traffic...



Throughly unimpressed.

What a fag car.

TheJoe03: What a fag car.

Sounds perfect for a judgemental biggot like yourself.

I like it.

Barakku: Why can't I have a hybrid that looks like a regular car?

My 2003 Honda Civic hybrid would like a word with you.
