Seven stars for Honda at Tokyo show

Japanese giant Honda is set to unveil not one wacky concept at the Tokyo motor show next month, but seven! Fans can expect to see three cars, three moorbikes and best of all, a futuristic convertible electric vehicle. The sporty, two-seater EV called the ‘Small Sports EV’ for now, will be both environmentally friendly and a hoot to drive, says Honda, which is keeping the car under wraps before the show. However, sketches reveal a sleek design with a long wheelbase. Also, the Advanced Cruiser-X, or AC-X, will be on Honda’s stand. The hybrid saloon, with a 127bhp 1.6-litre motor and a 120kw electric motor, will be positioned between the Civic and Accord.
