Talk about doing more with less. Honda's boxy little contribution to the tiny kei
car category is the N Box +, which has at least four awesome design
features: A telescoping load ramp, an internal power winch, hideaway
trunk shelving, and the ability for the entire interior to flatten into a
bed nearly two meters long. The features are best seen in video, and
this particular version of their Japanese-TV-market commercial is great
for the utter translation fail:
Alas, as with some of the best things to be designed and produced in
Japan, this dimunitive vehicle will never make its way to U.S. shores.

Carscoop: Honda Launches New N Box + in Japan
Honda has presented the second model of its new mini-vehicle N Series
named the N BOX + (N BOX plus) in Japan. The new model is essentially a
more practical version of the N Box tall city car with added
functionality in the cargo area.
In particular, the Plus model introduces the so-called "Universal Bridge" system that includes a retractable aluminum slope to make it easier to load and unload heavy items on wheels such as a small motorbike. When not in use, the aluminum board can be neatly tucked away under the boot.
Another bespoke feature of the N BOX + is the "Multi-space System" that introduces three different sized boards that allow for a wide variety of arrangements including several cargo modes and a bed mode.
Like the regular N Box, the Plus model is offered with a 660cc three-cylinder petrol engine in naturally aspirated and turbocharged flavors linked to a CVT and front- or all-wheel drive versions.
Prices in Japan start at 1,350,000 Yen (US$16,900 / €13,500) with Honda offering the N Box + in three distinct models with visible styling differences including the Base, 2-Tone Color Style and Custom.
