A Look Back at Honda and the 2007 Tokyo Auto Show

This was out before I started this blog, and once in a while when news is light, I'll dig up some of the older stuff.

Honda Fit-Daily-Active-Concept

Honda Stream Exclusive Concept

Honda Stream-Hyper-Sport-ConceptHonda Motor Co., Ltd. announced today it will display three concept cars developed by Honda Access Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary manufacturing genuine Honda aftermarket products, at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2007 with NAPAC(1), to be held Friday to Sunday, January 12-14, 2007 at Makuhari Messe in Chiba Prefecture, Japan. Headlining the Honda display will be the Fit Daily Active, Stream Hyper Sport, and Stream Exclusive concept automobiles.

Based on the theme, “Be Cool, Be Chic”, Honda’s exhibit this year will feature new products that add a touch of class to getting around. The concept models introduced represent some new ideas from Honda on how to make motorcycles and cars more personal, adding new dimensions to mobility and new meaning to customization.

Also on display will be a racing version of the Civic Hybrid, and customized Modulo(2) versions of the Airwave, Stream, CR-V, and Odyssey Absolute along with a varied lineup of genuine Honda accessories ranging from navigation to audio systems.

Concept Vehicle Display Overview

Fit Daily Active Concept Vehicle
A small car designed to respond to the needs of today’s portable telephone and video game-oriented youth and add a touch of excitement to everyone’s lives. Cameras and sensors are fitted on the exterior of the vehicle to help reduce blind spots. LED daytime running lights on the bumpers and lower skirts provide increased visibility from other users on the road. On the inside, welcome lighting and a 3-mode illumination system that allows occupants to select interior lighting color from three choices add to the relaxed atmosphere.

The vehicle can also be equipped with a portable, ‘go-anywhere’ AVN(3) entertainment system combining navigation, game, inter-communication and audio-visual functions for use inside and outside the vehicle. This AVN can fit on the instrument panel or on the front seat headrests. An aroma diffuser is also available to add personalized scent to the interior.

Stream Hyper Sport Concept Vehicle
This medium-sized minivan combines an exciting driving experience with an interior full of entertainment features. Formed around a ”Sculpted by the Wind” theme, the exterior has been designed for optimum aerodynamic performance. The vehicle is also equipped with a mobile communication-compatible AVN driving information system and an individual entertainment system allowing each passenger to enjoy personalized audio and visual entertainment, for even more enjoyable travel.

Stream Exclusive Concept Vehicle
This medium-sized minivan offers a glimpse of what ‘premium’ could mean in the near future. The exterior has been designed to portray the image of an uptown cruiser. An overall design made of contrasting shapes, the clever use of molds and the play of light on body lines combine to give a modern feeling of refinement and quality. The interior has been designed into an airy lounge space with the rear two rows of seats replaced by a single one for increased space and comfort. LED-illuminated full leather lounge seats, 17-inch-wide screens and a high quality sound system together provide an exceptionally comfortable and stimulating audio and visual experience.
