*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."

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.

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

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

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

Isn't Puyo Spanish slang for "fark"?

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

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

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.

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

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

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?
