Here we go again... I bet this rendering does not survive the day! It will be taken down as soon as Becca can see it.

Might look better with the rear window/lights closer the the CR-Z. There seems to be a similar shutline under the camo.

Good effort, but it better look... better than this.


Since its not horizontal like the Clarity (unless theres more stuff hiding under the camo), hopefully it will take cues from the Insight?

That Aztec really IS something else.

HTF did it ever get into production? I take it those responsible are in Guantanamo Bay for ever?

amazingly enough, people bought them. That is what boggles the mind. I still see those monstrosities on the road on occasion

Luckily, I've never seen one. Especially from that angle.

It looks like the sort of '80s Russian Hatchback that was directly responsible for the collapse of Communism.

It's one of the great mysteries of the universe; how has GM survived this long?

Looks pretty good. I don't know if the front lights will wrap around the sides that much. The car does look attractive, much more so than the Prius. I never could get into that design. This does look a lot like a stretched CRX second gen.

Nice work, Hondafreak. Here are a couple of details you can add if you ever decide to create version 3.0. All would be consistent with the FCX clarify.

1. There should be a downward crease where the A pillar meets the front fender.

2. I think the character line that runs through the door handles should be a little bolder. I can see it pretty clearly through the camo, but it's not so clear on your rendering.

3. I believe you are correct in the fact that the rear lights will wrap around the rear fender (covered by the camo 'pad' on the rear quarter). However, I figure the corner of the lights would line up with the character line described in #2.
