Honda's Puyo Is Soft, Does 360s In Place
Not to be outdone by Nissan and their cute little Pivo 2 Honda showed off the Puyo (which I thought was Spanish for a woman's genitals) concept van/box thing in Tokyo this week. It has a gel-like outer shell instead of sheet metal that's supposed to be a lot more resilient and safe in collisions. The wheels are from a go-cart (okay, maybe not) and are pushed all the way out to the corners, so the car can do 360s in place. To jack up its coolness factor from 0 to 1, it has scissor-wing doors. Nice try Honda, but I wouldn't be caught dead in it. I would be caught having sex with a prostitute in it though. Because that's how I roll.
One more of the doors open after the jump.

The electric-powered E'mo was designed by the StauffacherBenz Studio and looks like the lovechild of a golf cart, Jeep and Tonka truck (wild night!). I'd ride in it, but I wouldn't be caught driving it. At least not by the police -- I don't have a license! (Think your mom can... / Continue →
