Temple of VTEC Rumors and News - More Hondas from the 2006 Tokyo Auto Salon

AkiraNSX has submitted another round of pics from the Tokyo Auto Salon along with some more information regarding the Mugen Fit Spec D and Civic Dominator. Special thanks to AkiraNSX for sharing the information and photos.

From AkiraNSX: I guess I don't have to do any translating for the Modulo Concepts. It's all in the Honda world site it seems. http://world.honda.com/news/2006/4060111TokyoAutoSalon/ There are translation errors in the site as well as missing information, so I will list those here. Civic Hybrid Modulo Concept -"louvered intake with variable alignment" in the site refers to the lower front bumper grille area, not the air induction system of the engine. This is a feature for improving aerodynamics by closing off the grille area with the louvers when cooling is not needed to reduce turbulence caused by the air exiting the engine bay. -19" wheels with wheel covers improves fuel economy by reducing turbulence caused by air entering the wheel between its spokes. This also explains the odd designs of the stock Insight and Civic Hybrid wheels. -the site fails to mention LED headlights, taillights and fog lights. As far as I know, those headlights and fog lights are not adequate for lighting up the road for actual driving. They are merely cosmetic (although LED headlight technology has recently arrived and is only waiting for a 2007 law in Japan to pass before they become legal for road use). -the trunk spoiler on this concept car pops up at speed, like the Porsches have had for many years. StepWgn Modulo Concept -the name of the European "apparel brand" that collaborated in designing this concept is Final Home, not Final Form. And here is some official info from MTEC. Amazingly little and not detailed at all.
