Honda may be skipping out on its press conference at next week’s Detroit Auto Show, but that doesn’t mean the Japanese automaker is completely abandoning auto shows during the month of January. The Tokyo Auto Salon, a show heavy on aftermarket accessories and not to be confused with the Tokyo Motor Show, also begins next week, and Honda has released an early preview of what to expect from the Tokyo show.
Honda’s series of Modulo concepts will dominate the automaker’s stage, with the Sports Modulo S2000 and Fit concepts taking center stage.
Although the S2000 is officially a lame duck, the Sport Modulo concept offers a new twist on the sporty drop top. A new body kit gives the concept a rather unusual look while the interior has been spruced up with some new colors and surfaces and actually looks pretty good.
The Sports Modulo Fit concept will likely be one of the brightest on the Tokyo show floor, but the Modulo treatment also give the economical Fit a decidedly sporty flare. The bright color treatment is continued inside, and even on a single spoke of each wheel.
One of the gaudiest concepts we’ve ever laid our eyes on, the Honda Life Style Study is intended to stir the interest of Japan’s youth – particularly young ladies. However, the rhinestone and pink treatment is more than just a little over the top – at least in our eyes.
In addition to the aforementioned cars, Honda will also be bringing a few other lightly done up concepts which can be seen in the following gallery.

Finally, Honda makes a car he cannot help but blow all over, the Life Style Study. Trip 1 5 will prob. be the first in line for it!! Granted, he doesn’t waste all of his energy looking at pictures of it and wacking off all over his Acura themed footie pajamas and fall asleep in his mothers arms.

Why this site attracts such a large number of either homophobes or pedophiles is beyond my imaginations. In my days cars were associated with young good looking women and most of cars aficionados were definitely heterosexual: Marlboro types. Now all kinds of pederasts post here.
On the subject of cars: is it me or Honda design (at least for Japan) started moving in right direction? Hatches and wagons looked good and grilles are much more acceptable then what we see on the road in old US of A.

Hey Borat-you posted this earlier to Need more oil for GM-”Once Need more oil for GM arrives, I will personally invest my personal fortune into local members of man-boy association to perform sodomy on him just like in Pulp Fiction with ball and chains!”
YOU JUST STATED YOU DISLIKED THIS KIND OF STUFF BUT DO IT YOURSELF. I still love you though because we share the same common interest in hating American manufacturibg and would rather see the Asians rule the world then see America prosper. I too like u hope that eventually we will have no choice but to work for a foriegn owned country here in America. The Japanese Empire lives on. Plus I like how soft a young Japanese boys hands are.

OK, so I am a hypocrite. You are welcome to enjoy GM’s postings and you are welcome to join my contribution to his salary. Since I am working and paying taxes (not when I am posting here) his diarrhea of the mouth is painful to observe. Perhaps, you are not taxpaying citizen and enjoy all his crap.
I did not state my like or dislike, I just stated that this site attracts either homophobes or pederasts. Cars used to attract different characteristics.

the LIfe car looks like something that Hello Kitty would drive, and therefore is just as much of a shi.tty toy to inspire japanese children. useless.

@ LLN, it’s the Tokyo Auto Salon, not Tokyo Motor Show, the difference being the Auto Salon caters specifically to the aftermarket and the Motor Show is more about concepts and production-based vehicles. The Tokyo Auto Salon is every January. The Motor Show is every two years in the fall.

i wonder……. if GM lives to see the light when its volt would finally role off the production line, and doesn’t go belly up in the fish tank after it, would “need more oil for GM” change his name to “need more batteries for GM”……. just a thought

Every Honda is beginning to look like it was made primarily for the JDM and Acura is already there. Stylistically at least, I’m not sure that’s really the wisest direction to be taking. It’s easy to make a car look like a toy, but the other way around not so much.

I think they only two decent looking Modulo’s shown are the white type-r and the redish-orange Fit. Although the stock JDM type-r looks better IMO anyway. I just wish it wouldn’t cost so much to convert our US specs models.
rds130 – I’m glad someone else caught that too.

How about giving us a Fit Si? It wouldn’t take much… 160hp and a 6-speed would be enough to make the little grocery getter more appealing.

I own an S2000, and I’d rather keep it than have this completely messed up Sports Modulo S2000. It’s front and side modifications are a complete mess, who was in charge of this? Shame on them for actually thinking it’s pleasing in terms of design and styling. I’d go for the carbon fibre interior but that’s it.

re. the S2000, the interior’s not bad, although I can’t imagine why a sports car needs a television screen. That said I don’t see anything here that I prefer to the bog standard grey one that I used to own with two-tone black and red leather.
