Isn't that a new Prius?
Looks very similar to a current Prius, IMO.

Looks just like the Prius. Is that how they're gonna attack Toyota?

TOV is full of crap! That's the new Prius. And if Honda made something like this, it WILL definitely get sued by Toyota.

I think you guys are mistaken. This is Honda's GSH. Honda's CEO said the car would take some styling cues from the FCX Clarity. The front of the car looks just like it.

Haha..sorry mxt77!

I think Honda got creative with the camou on the rear of the car.

Most SUV's have a common shape. Honda decided to take the route of the Prius-esque shape. The Honda Civic Hybrid is the 2nd most efficient car in the market but nobody notices or cares.
