Bored at Honda Design Plant = Honda PUYO 
‘PUYO’ is a Japanese onomatopoeia that expresses the sensation of touching the vehicle’s soft body. It is meant to convey a warm, friendly impression.
The PUYO represents a new idea in mobility that brings together ‘clean’, ‘safe’ and ‘fun’ functionality in an environmentally responsible, people-friendly minimalist design featuring an ultra-high efficiency, small frame and fuel cell technology to please both users and onlookers alike.
Exterior design
The development theme for the PUYO exterior was to create a cornerless, ‘Seamless Soft Box’ form that is kind to both people and the environment. The goal was to create a personable design with the feel of an adorable pet, while taking advantage of the maximum spaciousness of the box-shaped design. The PUYO’s ‘gel body’ features soft materials to promote greater real-world safety. Moreover, the body has been made luminescent to guide people into the proper operating position and notify them of the vehicle’s condition, facilitating a more intimate relationship between people and their cars.
Interior design
Developed to have a ‘Silky Feel’, the PUYO’s interior is designed to provide a refreshing, people-friendly space imbued with a feeling of transparency. Features such as an instrument panel monitor, controls that take advantage of the elastic qualities of cloth to rise up when the vehicle starts up, luminous fluid meter displays, and a joystick for intuitive operation are all designed to gently support occupants’ senses and sensibilities.

I'd drive it in a heartbeat. Not because it's cool looking or anything, but because I think I would be the only person in America that would own one, and being one of a kind is JDM as can be.

^^^^ Until you got squashed like a bug by a soccer mom with an IQ of 35 driving a Ford Excursion.
No thanks. Neat concept, but bad execution. Nice find Travis, even if it did look better as red X's.

You guys are haters. +1 for honda. They are pushing the limits of technology and trying to invent new things. Over in japan and other parts of the world, they drive the golf cart sized cars that size, another one isnt going to be much different- being ford doesnt even sell the excursion abroad like it does inside the us. Think about the smart car, the minicooper even. Dont you guys realize that 80+% of the drivers out there are just driving themselves? The future is personal mobility vehicles, and yes, they are going to be small.
