I can't believe this story is almost a year old! (how time passes, he?)
I'm still rather fond of it, but a year ago I was even more fond of it somehow.
Good call RE the Jimny, btw!

Can't believe they are actually putting it into production. I don't follow concept stuff closely (to avoid disappointment) and just found out via this thread . Pessimist in me now thinks it's going to be a limited edition run with obscne prices (see e.g. VW XL1) for marketing purposes... Also, end of 2019 seems *very* close and no leaks what so ever? Hm.

Anyways -- hope they'll prove me wrong. Well done, Honda!

PS: interesting to see the Jimny mentioned here. The cars could not be more different, no? But same sincerity / good design (for a modern car) about them. There really does seem to be a market for this which is nice.

It would be a Fisher Price version that goes in to production. That is the fate of all concept vehicles.
