My feeling is that unless others drive same type of car, it can be dangerous if in a collision. For me it is a safety issue. Regards

Same can be said about people driving motorcycles. If they were ever rear ended, tboned, etc etc. This car looks awesome.

hmm maybe as a small commute car for a small city or town? I cant see it being driven in a large city where traffic is crazy.. Like what Richard said it probably isnt the safest thing to drive around with larger faster stronger cars zooming by..

Perhaps this car would catch on with the Europeans? Their cars are generally smaller anyway.

The styling is pretty cool, but as some have pointed out, I would be concerned with the safety ratings - even if one uses this in mild city or suburban driving.

Apparently Honda does remember how to make a clean, uncluttered dashboard . . .

Let's hope that makes it to production.

+1 - this is a must - can teach kids to drive in this one, not to mention, drive it around the neighbourhood, when family just wants to go be neighbourly
