Honda e Prototype Takes On The Hill Climb At Goodwood

Honda e pre-production prototypes were one of the EV stars of the 2019 Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK.

The cute Japanese city car is one of the most interesting new electric cars for Europe, although probably it will not be for everyone with an expected premium price tag and limited availability. Already, thousands of potential customers expressed interest in buying one, while deliveries are scheduled for early 2020.

Here we gathered all the latest videos with white and yellow prototypes driving on the track, as well as another one at the display.

We agree with one of the videos, that Honda might not fully understand how big of a potential lies in this EV and the further sporty version.

Can you imagine if all Hondas were this stylistically perfect?

I can't believe that the same people who produce the grotesque, over-designed Civic, Accord and CR-V are capable of making something this good looking.

I think this would be a game changer in the US market.

They need to make this their future design language sooner rather than later.

It's such an instant classic. Imagine a new Civic with this level of restraint.

I agree with everyone that this seems like a very nice offering from Honda and it should come to the US. I found this video review and it gives a closer look at the driving experience and also shows off the wing mirrors.

All these years of ridiculous designs have primed the pump for a huge switch back to clean styling. But who knows when? Ugly may have a way to go yet.

I hope they are listening to you.
