This China-only concept, which previews a new small car that Honda will build just for that market, is the kind of product that Honda enthusiasts have been clamoring for.
The Concept B looks like Honda’s take on the Hyundai Veloster. No powertrain details were announced, but perhaps Honda will be kind enough to forgo the hybrid system that they saddled the CR-Z with – and bring it to North America as well.

Interesting concept. Very attractive, especially for Honda. I originally expected this was a Fit-based sedan, but could be larger, perhaps what the Civic will look like in 3 years.
If Honda can downsize the hybrid powerplant in the Accord, they might break 60 mpg and finally have an effective Prius-fighter.

This thing actually looks beautiful. I’m a Honda guy, and if they could make something like this that had good visibility, a high fun to drive quotient, and was not hybrid, I might actually spring for it.
Seahawks fans, rejoice! Wait, China only?
Best-looking snout I’ve seen in a few years, or since the curse of Euro pedestrian regs ruined everything for everybody.
Looks to me like the Acura beak with a nip-tuck. Car itself is probably a preview of some variant on the next Honda City (aka Fit/Jazz sedan).
A hint at an Integra/RSX revival, perhaps? I like it a lot, certainly vastly better looking than the ILX.
Autobot, roll out!
Looks like this big grill deal is getting popular.
I hope that the Accord MMC doesn’t go with this fully-closed look in 2016.
If they bulk up the current slats and enlarge the chrome surround just a touch, it’d be fine.

They could just, y’know, just build a CR-Z without the hybrid system… which would give it a usable back seat and twice the sprightliness in the twisty stuff.
Interesting. Wonder if it’ll be a lifestyle “four door coupe” or if this is meant as a preview for a cheaper Fit variant, to compete as Honda’s new entry-level sedan.

That would be, well, the Fit. Or rather, the Fit with less headroom and two fewer doors.
This is an attractive styling study. What would it look like with clear glass, B pillars, <18" wheels and door handles? I want to like it, but right now it's just an attractive little baby bump on Honda's tummy. I'll wait and see what it looks like on an ultrasound in a year or so.
This Honda concept is really interesting. Great job.
I like it.
