One of our favorite parts of the auto-show season is the weird and wonderful concepts that established automakers put out. Some of these models may well turn out to hold the seed to future production models, giving an insight into the exterior design language, cabin technology, and drivetrains of the future. Others will go straight from the drawing board into the wastepaper basket of history.

Honda Puyo

The Puyo, whose name according to Honda is intended to convey "the sensation of touching the vehicle's soft body," is designed to be "kind to both people and the environment". To achieve this, the bubble-shaped vehicle has no sharp edges and features a "gel body" made from soft materials to minimize injury to pedestrians.
