Meanwhile, another Honda concept model heading to Tokyo Motor Show is the
Honda PUYO. According to the Japanese automaker, "PUYO is meant to convey all that is warm and friendly, and put a smile on the face of users and pedestrians" and
combines "clean, safe and fun all into one environmentally-responsible, people-friendly, yet minimalist design."

Other features of the futuristic Honda PUYO concept include gel body made of soft materials, ultra-efficient hydrogen fuel cell technology, Seamless Soft Box body, people-friendly cabin, instrument panel monitor, elastic-like controls made from cloth, and joystick replaces the steering wheel.

These are only the few details about the Honda CR-Z and Honda PUYO concept models. Wait until the Tokyo Motor Show when Honda releases the complete details and specs of these models.

Meanwhile, Honda also announced that it will debut the new Honda Fit in the Japanese market.
