Honda
Motor Company keeps impressing the crowd with its latest futuristic
vehicle concepts. The CR-Z, which can be found at your local Honda dealership
later this year, was one of the first vehicles Honda designed with a
futuristic look and feel. Last month, Honda debut its Honda Odyssey
concept at the Chicago Auto show. Although the Honda Odyssey Concept
will not be sold in the U.S any time soon, it is the groundwork of
future Odysseys to come.

The Honda 3R-C is a solo commuting concept that functions as an
electrical personal transport vehicle. The three-wheeler has its drive
terrain mounted low, giving the vehicle a low center of gravity to
improve stability. It has a clear canopy that covers the driver's seat
while it is parked and not in use. When 3R-C vehicle is in motion, the
canopy becomes a windshield that provides the driver with some measure
of protection. The vehicle, which is said to function as a “zero emission
commuting” vehicle, carries its battery electric drive terrain low in
the three wheeled chassis. Be sure to catch the vehicle at the Geneva Motor show this week.
