Honda Sketches (from Germany, with love)





Auto Motor und Sport has posted a few sketches 0f future Honda products. The first is the NSX replacement which looks pretty rakish. Will Honda shift focus with the next NSX and gun for the more luxurious crowd? Next up is the CR-V replacement. I don't know what the inspiration was for these photos, but that CR-V sketch does not sport the new "face" of Honda trucks like the Ridgeline and Pilot. I would look for a grill treatment like the WOW showcar. In fact I'd like the next CR-V to pick up on a lot of the styling queues of the WOW as I really liked its exterior design. The final sketch has the word "Civic" mentioned amongst all the German. I don't think that the forthcoming Euro Civic three door will be a Mini clone, but Honda might do well to have something like this. If they can come in below Mini's price point, it might be a good seller.
