#NYIAS: Thumbs UP or DOWN? We Take A REAL-LIFE Look At The All-New Honda Clarity

I remember when Honda first released the Insight.

It looked significantly different than everything else on the road and it managed to carve itself a niche in the decidedly uncool segment of alternative energy vehicles. Then the Toyota Prius became a runaway sensation.

One would think that may have taught Honda a lesson in its design department. But, if you were at the 2017 New York Auto Show (NYIAS) I think you would have witnessed the birth of something in a similar vein.

That's because we now have the all-new Honda Clarity family. And, to be honest, the vehicle looks like a slightly evolved version of the Insight with the addition of two more doors.

So, I've got to ask: Do YOU give the all-new Honda Clarity a thumbs UP or DOWN?

It gives ME clarity... in wanting to avoid it.

I really hope Hondas going to start looking goofy and ugly like the new Toyotas and Lexus cars and SUVs just to get attention or look different?

that's one smokin hot looking car. I bet they will sell at least 10 of them.

I haven't seen a car this ugly since the Pontiac Aztek

I miss the days when a horrible design (like the Aztek) was laughed at and no one bought it. Now they are released, sell in at least decent numbers - and then the next year the ugliness is copied by competitors.

Then you should check out the new Toyota Prius and Mirai not to mention the new Lexus models the new benchmarks for UGLY front and back.

Agreed.

This thing should have been aborted.

It begs the question, why is it so hideous?

I can see that Honda wanted it to have a unique design, but it could have been more Aston and less Aztek.

Looks like one of those design studies from the 60's that was trying to predict the future design of cars. Not good, Honda.

Don't you be badmouthing the Trabi, it's a cult classic now.

Hey, at least you get a steering wheel, for a while even that was up in the air ;)
