the honda concept that didn t debut at detroit

For some unknown reason, Honda decided to debut this new concept, dubbed the GEAR, at the Montreal Auto Show. Honda claims it’s a 21st century interpertation of a subcompact hatch that’s fun to drive, customization and stylish. What do you say, Murilee? Is this a faithful heir to your Civic hatchback?

It's impossible for me to explain why, but I feel like I instinctively recognized that as a Civic hatch. I like it.

Looks pretty cool on the show floor: http://www.blogcdn.com/ca.autoblog.com/media/2013/01/dsc8011.jpg The rear end is kind of weird though.

Cprescott I have watched a series of teardown videos by Munro and Associates (sycophants to Tesla) and cannot believe the hoodwinking that was done with this POS. There was no way it was ever going to sell the golf cart with a bed for the price they said. I cannot believe all of the space those motors take up - so huge and expensive. And the battery pack is the size of Rhode Island!

ChristianWimmer My requirements are simple: I love driving fast (Autobahn) and I want a relatively generous and stable range while using creature comforts. No EV on the market can satisfy this requirement, hence I am not interested in one.
Cprescott Jeep has become fool's gold - thinking they can move this brand upmarket and charge outrageous prices without regard to keeping track of market conditions.
Chiefmonkey Did these have the same security/theft problem that other Kias have? lol
