poo? I'm sorry, are you five years of age?

There have been rumours of a 'new Beat' and 'new NSX' for so goddamn long, that Carl Benz got pissed off & made his own open two-seater instead.

When they launch it, they ought to call it the Wolf, because no-one will believe them anyway.

The vocabulary used was reflective of the car itself.

Technically it will be turbo'ed, IMA'ed, heavy, and slow.

The article says it's a “next-generation compact EV sports model that’s fun to drive while achieving excellent environmental performance”.

EV suggests no IC engine at all.

Honda says:

■SMALL SPORTS EV CONCEPT (tentative name)
A next-generation EV sports model which maximizes the fun of driving while achieving excellent environmental performance.

Semantically, it potentially makes rather a difference to the way it's been paraphrased by the hacks.

Yes, it might be yet another battery-operated sex toy, but it might end up rather different.

Or maybe UN is right and it'll end up down the shitter with the HSC and the ASCC...
