4. Honda Fuya-Jo
via icarimage.com
The Honda Fuya-Jo (“sleepless city”) was apparently designed to take partiers clubbing, or as Honda’s PR team described, it was designed to transport “party animals who demand the full excitement of night life,” and is equipped with lots of speakers, a turntable-dash, and seating for four. To us, however, it looks like it was designed by an ’80s cocaine magnate who never escaped the Disco Era.
This clothes-ironer-on-wheels was shown at the 1999 Tokyo Auto Show, and was immediately ridiculed for its box-like, alienesque appearance. It’s crazy to think, that despite its chastisement, many of the aesthetics used to build this concept car are being used in production by companies like Scion and Toyota.
