And I'll still have to use my own energy in order to get the unicycle out of the door, configure it, move out of the car's seat and onto the unicycle's? Gee, I feel tired already...
At first glance, I thought it sort f looked like a Trabant, too. After thinking about it a bit longer, though, it reminds me a bit of the Honda 600 hatchbacks from the 60s - 70s. I hope they put it into production, either electric or petrol-engined versions.
No doubt despite intense training and considerable practice every person using these things looks either terrified or queasy, The footrests should be behind the body line, The problem with leading with your genitals is when it goes wrong it really goes terribly terribly wrong.
I've owned two Miras (Miri?) and that looks nothing like. Well OK it's the same vague shape, but then so are any number of Kei cars, it's just the most effective shape for a restricted road footprint.
You may as well accuse it of being a copy of a Subaru Vivio.

Is a spinning bow-tie and a big red nose included in the package?

This is a literal copy of one of the most popular cars in Japan - Daihatsu Mira. It probably looks closer to a Mini in real life.

FINALLY. A proper hybrid family vehicle. If this is as practical as a FRV and drives as good as FRV count me in for one.

Out of interest, is there a possibility the Tokyo Motor Show could kick off in another country? Just curious :-)
Yup, the flameproof one, thanks.

Anton :- I 'm with you - looks a great replacement for the FR-V. Wonder how they stop the sun blinding the driver ? Massive problem here in UK (not).

The EV-N is very reminiscent of the original Honda "butty-box" from many years ago. It looks pretty good in a "ZX-81" kind of way. :)

Definitely a retro Honda 600. Pity for Honda it's no way as iconic as a Beetle, Cinquecento or Mini.
