Honda Brio Prototype

[2o6]

Small car for developing markets and possibly Europe, since Honda doesn't make a City car or anything smaller than the Jazz/Fit for Europe.

Not sure if I like it or not.  On first view, I thought I liked it.  Then I took another look and changed my mind.  By the third look I was just confused.

Reminds me of the original Civic. I like it, except for those door handles. Did a blind man put them on?

[Cookie Monster]

Some of the details are weird (like the weird doorhandles) but other than that, I really, really like it.

Do Toyota or Honda have a presence in China?

Do Toyota or Honda have a presence in China?

Honda: Not really.

Toyota: Sort of. Toyota doesn't have much of a presence in India, where Maruti-Suzuki dominates that market. In China, a lot of the cheapo cars at the bottom of the market use the old Daihatsu Charade as a basis. More popular cars are cloned by makes such as BYD (BYD F3, F0, F6) where outsiders say they are of shockingly good quality; similar to the Toyota it's based upon but for thousands less.

Hmm....... BYD have been brave enough to show their cars at some of the European Auto shows, and they are indeed shocking........ shockingly bad quality. No way could they sell them as they currently stand........ they are even worse than Lada, and that really is saying something!

It looks like it's built to be as cheap and simple as possible. It has promise, but I don't know how this third world car would do in the U.S. if it were ever offered here.

Looks like a compressed Kia Rio in a stupid color.

Good luck with that Honda.

[Rupert]

Yep.

[thewizard16]

There's something wrong with the back-end, I just don't know what exactly.

[Rupert]

No magnet, maybe?

I agree.

in certain markets, it should do quite well, but i am not certain another small car like this is needed in n.a. - if it is ever introduced here. for me, the honda fit is just a tad smaller than anything i would likely purchase for myself. this new honda looks good, but these "minis" (microcars?) are rather similar in appears, imo.

Where's the trunk

They need to square out the rear for it to make sense

Behind the rear seats, underneath the glass liftgate.

Looks good.  Too small for me, but looks good.
