Honda unveiled the FC Sports Concept in the LA Auto Show, yes of course, no one needs to even take a glance on the Press Release before rightly assuming it is yet another 'sport' hybrid/fuelcell of some sort from Honda. With Toyota firmly in place as the synonymous brand for Green Technology, Honda poise to want to take the 'Sports Renewable Energy Maker' crown to distant itself from Toyota, as Honda had always been perceived as a younger, livelier brand than Toyota. There is one problem thou, for Star War fans, especially those of Jango Fett, this might be your chance in a lifetime to drive the head of your hero villain warrior, for the rest of us NORMAL beings, this must be some joke from Honda, after the monumentally ugly SHIELD grill of the Acuras, Honda went from pig farm to outer space for their inspiration of the next in your face design, and ended up with this Starship Trooper body + Jango Fett helmet design. If this weren't striking enough, it seems Honda hadn't simply ditch the Pig Nose design, of which they've now move it to the rear. Check it out. Honestly speaking, this should be the winner of "I will kill myself NOW if you produce this 2008 Award." Oh they claim that the rear optimizes aerodynamics, yeah right, a penis can be aerodynamic as well.
And here's where their inspiration sort of came from, front and rear. For more pictures, check out the gallery from NetCarShow.
Here's the deal guys, we started off as an automotive industry magazine that talks about anything remotely associated with cars. The subprime crisis, the oil spill off the Gulf of Mexico, the Great Tohoku Earthquake are all world issues affecting the automotive industry.
Not only the face of what's happening on a global scale, we delve deep into the auto-journalism ethics, criticizing the increasingly mundane automotive advertising industry, we explained how America's dwindling confidence and rising sense of inferiority complex gave rise and ultimately fueled the media in propagating hatred towards Toyota.
In short, we're serious towards the automotive industry, our scope and depth is what makes us who we are, and we believe there are a lot more aspects towards which we can continue explore with the magazine when it comes to all things automotive. From the wider perspectives covering technological, sociological or even geopolitical, to inner workings of the trends and traits of design and advertising of cars, towards the human aspects that shapes the very cars we drive day in and out.
And this, is the reason why we decide to give the magazine a bump, a revamp into Wheels Weekly: Live Life Drive. Before that comes though, we will be launching an inaugural celebration issue where we chronicle the best of Wheels Weekly. We can't wait, we hope you too.
