Honda Studio E
Panel vans to become the next big thing?
Discussion
The stuff coming out of manufacturers aimed at the youth market really is utter tripe these days. I don't necessarily mean the cars, I mean the sanctimonious, self indulgent piffle that accompanies the cars in the form of marketing material.
Her's a squat, funky little van with a decent sound system and a tuned motor. That sounds like it could be a lot of fun to me. I don't need a 'multi-function-platform'. If I did I'd go to the railway station.

"Studio E". So it's basically a portable chillout room that you can park conveniently outside your favourite nightclub; get in and lock the doors; stick "Now that's what I call the best chillout album in the world... ever! 3" in the CD player and smoke some bifters after dancing for 6 hours and drinking 20 litres of Evian.
What kind of message is that giving the kids eh? Ehhhh??

Gotta be better that a Citroen Saxo hasn't it!
I'm not sure why, but I suspect that interest will die as soon as the price is announced. The marketing types live by thier demographic profile information, and so this will end being way overpriced ("must have exclusivity to be desirable, don't want the wrong sorts of young people buying it, these people have high disposable incomes so should charge a big margin")
A nice concept, which will be bolloxed up by the time the corporate accounts and marketing departments have finished with it. If the rest of the car industry is anything to go by, the "highly tuned" motor, 20" wheels and "big" stereo of the concept car will turn into a 1.6 litre, 15" wheels and a cassette player on the production car (does everyone remember how delicious the concept versions of the Porsche Boxster, Mercedes SLK, or Mercedes ML were??)

One of comfort and convenience, not puke ridden pavements, the cold and night buses.
Where do I sign?
Definately agree though, car marketers should stop trying to sell a brand and concentrate on selling cars.
Matt.
dear god I know I am gonna get roasted for this but actually...
I Think It's Very Cool.
When my mate used to work at Garage City as a doorman - free entrance - free everything, He used to drive a Chevy Day Van - you know the mobile brothel with velour everywhere. A very cool motor (then) with the girls, and very convenient to have as a mobile bedroom .This looks totally rad, and if the young guys can afford it; then so be it I says. It beats getting caught shagging in your parents house...
He had TV (crt) and video (crap quality) If they fit this motor out with DVD, proper sounds and a TFT flat-screen, then I think they will have a good product, providing the younger members can afford it. Panel vans are genuinely boring, but this is an exception to the rule.
Well done Honda.
