Honda S660 Neo Classic Racer concept leads Tokyo Auto Salon lineup

For this year’s

Tokyo Auto Salon

,

Honda

is bringing a variety of design concepts, and far and away our favorite of the bunch is the S660 Neo Classic Racer you see above. We already loved the mid-engine, rear-drive

S660 roadster in its stock form

, but this concept puts us over the top. It builds off of

the S660 Neo Classic body kit

available to customers right now, which itself was based on a Tokyo Auto Salon concept. Additions include much wider fenders, aggressive front and rear spoilers, and little vintage touches such as the leather straps holding down the hood, covered headlights meant to evoke the taped-up lights of old race cars and bullet-shaped fender mirrors.

Shifting from completely impractical to super functional, we have a couple of little vans. First we have the Honda Trip Van, which the company developed as a surf van. As such, it has handy roof racks, worry free black plastic bumpers and rocker guards and simple steel wheels. Inside, it channels vintage design with tan leather and light wood trim on the dash, doors and steering wheel. The other van is the Well Concept. Honda doesn’t say much about it aside from it being a friendly family car that gets people excited to go places with it. We will say the did nail the friendly look with the light blue paint and adorable round headlights.

There are two cars based on models we do get in America, and the first we’ll discuss sounds like it would be a hit here. It’s the

Honda Civic

Versatilist, and it seems to follow the

Subaru Crosstrek

formula to a “T.” Honda adds a bit of ground-clearance along with body cladding to the

Civic Hatchback

to make it look more rugged and appeal to

crossover

buyers. Considering the aforementioned

Crosstrek

sells roughly twice as many units as the

Impreza

sedan and hatchback combined, Honda might want to consider putting this one into production. The other car is the

Honda Fit

Elegant Color Collection. It features a contrasting color roof and nifty wheels. Honda says it’s aimed at women to be a special extra space just for them, but we think anyone could enjoy the neat color scheme, just as anyone could enjoy the Neo Classic Racer.
