Honda's urban vision
The Honda P-NUT concept is one of those concepts that seems both ahead of its time, and just in time.

Ready for a conventional powertrain, a hybrid drive, or an all battery configuration, the P-NUT seems a pretty crazy idea. But if gas prices keep rising and cities become even more congested, it just my work.
