This thing is gorgeous! It's the new Honda Urban EV Concept. I love it.
Best looking Honda of all time.

On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

It's supposed to look like the Honda City Turbo, but I do see the Golf resemblances.

I have seen uglier small cars.

Funny, I just updated the article with pictures of a 1977 Civic that McAleer published for us last year. It's very, very similar.

It would need to be in your garage. Rust is the sworn enemy of all Japanese cars from that era.

OMG yes. A neighbour had a mid 1970s Civic and it absolutely dissolved in only a few Moncton winters.

The 70s Civics were good looking cars. I like this one too. Retro inspired done right.  8)

I love it.  Having owned several mid to late 70's Civics, I love how it pays homage to the car that got Honda into North America.

Put it on a Persian rug and it'll be fine.  ;D
