Concept Car Spotlight: The Honda Gear

Released at the Montreal Auto Show in 2012, The Honda Gear concept car is the perfect vehicle for Generation Y. Inspired by fixed-gear bicycles, this youth-oriented Honda Concept was designed to provide a sleek, simple design at an affordable price. The Gear concept isn't just a sub-compact concept vehicle, but provides a whole new way of looking at this type of vehicle for the younger generation. 

"Subcompact cars are usually either utilitarian, but uninspiring or they’re fun, zippy cars that are impractical and too expensive for the Gen-Y buyer," said Dave Marek, Design Director at Honda R&D Americas, Inc. "GEAR Concept tears down those walls – it’s practical but fun, customizable, connected and affordable. Everything that young, discerning urban buyers would want in a car."
