If we didn’t know better […], we’d say Honda lifted a few pages straight out of BMW‘s “i” Series handbook when it came to detailing its 2011 Tokyo Motor Show-bound Micro Commuter Concept car.
Take a close look and you may discover some similarities in certain key design elements (note: not the shape of the car but the details) between the Honda concept car and BMW’s i3 and i8 studies such as the multi-layered surfaces and the light-blue accent hues.
Then again, that’s just us. You can look at the pictures after the break and decide for yourself if we’re right or not.
If you’ve read our previous stories on the Honda Small EV Sports Car and AC-X Plug-in Hybrid family concepts, you won’t be surprised to learn that the Japanese company is keeping a lid on most details concerning the Micro Commuter.
This is all the information we get from Honda’s press release:
“A micro-sized, futuristic, electric city commuter which will become a highly accessible form of mobility for more people. This vehicle will offer the joy of a new type of communications between people and mobility and an exterior that the owner can enjoy customizing more casually. The collaboration of Honda’s motorcycle and automobile R&D centers made it possible to load the MOTOR COMPO two-wheel EV commuter in this vehicle.”
More to come when the 42nd Tokyo Motor Show opens on November 30.
