There's a chance a flagship sports car emerges from Honda's new 0 Series of battery-electric vehicles introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show. And seeing how the 0 Series already has a defined shelf life, starting with a debut model on the market by 2026 and a sunset around 2031, we suspect the first couple of years of that window would be ideal for a sports car launch.
Remember the Genesis X Speedium Coupe Concept that was part-shooting brake, part-sportback from a little over a year ago? Well, it’s back, and it’s wearing a new coat of white paint and outfitted for winter.
The Tokyo Auto Salon includes a side event called the Tokyo Outdoor Show, a magnet for products that love some fresh air rough-and-tumble. Last year, Lexus took a trio of vehicles under the «Overtrail» banner, that word a mix of «overland» and «trail.» There was another take on the hydrogen-powered side-by-side Lexus has had on show since 2021, as well as an RX Outdoor Concept based on the Lexus RX 450+ PHEV and a GX Outdoor Concept for more serious overlanding. This year, Lexus applied the Overtrail moniker directly to its Tokyo Auto Salon ride, the 2024 GX 550 Overtrail created with Japan 4x4 parts company JAOS. The automaker has worked with JAOS on race rigs built on the LX 600, competing in the Baja 1000 for at least the last two years.
LAS VEGAS — After Honda announced its new all-electric 0 Series at CES this week, suffice it to say we had questions. Fortunately for us, Honda CEO Toshihiro Mibe was there to share the news in person. Along with other selected media, we had the opportunity to ask anything we liked about the forthcoming platform and Honda's plans for its rollout here in the United States starting in 2026. Here are five key things we learned about this new platform and the cars it will underpin.
Over the past few years, CES has become something of an auto show. This year's event might not have been as big for cars as years past, but there was still plenty to see, whether that included modular vans or even flying vehicles from traditional car companies. And so we had the Autoblog editorial team vote on their favorite reveals of the show. Read on to see our picks.
Mazda has hinted at plans to let drivers who want to take their Miata to the track bypass the aftermarket. It unveiled a race-ready concept called RS at the 2024 edition of the Tokyo Auto Salon, and it gave the Japanese-market version of the Mazda3 hatchback the same treatment.
The most amazing thing I saw yesterday at CES was the Mobion Concept by Hyundai-owned Mobis, a parts supplier focused on electrification, connectivity and autonomous systems. It spun 360 degrees. It moved laterally. It moved diagonally. It did a slow-motion doughnut. I didn’t catch the very beginning of the presentation, so perhaps I missed the julienne fries.
It’s not often that Honda reveals a new logo. In fact, it’s been about 43 years since we’ve seen a redesign of the familiar “H mark” that Honda so lovingly calls it. That changes today at the 2024 CES where Honda debuted a new H mark that is destined for future electric vehicles.
