I'm brainstorming a new website I want to put up. It will be a bunch of static pages... nothing that requires any attention, but here is the basic premise.
Honda can save us. Honda can make rising oil prices seem tolerable.
How? Well, Honda has been making cars that get around 50mpg in the USA since 1970. They've shown time and time again that they are capable of producing a vehicle with awesome gas mileage standards, even when everyone thought that oil was never going to run out.
So, how again? Easy. Honda needs to do what we're doing... combine years of technology and research from their existing vehicles and produce a small, efficient, commuter vehicle that gets 60MPG and costs around $8k to buy.
It's simple. Join me in a brainstorm if you will.
The classic Mini Cooper was re-released years ago (was it in 2000?). Here is the classic:
Here is the new mini:
So basically, BMW is showing us that it IS possible to make small cars.
Another small car is the Smart Car, the overpriced toy car:
My proposal to Honda:
Reissue the Honda n600. Retro cars are cool, and cute. Put in it a 3 cylinder 1.0L Vtec-E engine... or even a 2 cylinder .6L Vtec-E engine.
Put rear wheel covers on it, LRR tires, undertray, the works.
In my opinion this car would be a huge success, especially among college kids and commuters.
Just bouncing some ideas around.
The website would be a petition to Honda asking to make this car. People could sign the petition to show support.
Any thoughts? Sorry if it's a bit jumbled... no coffee yet this morning
