Tokyo: Honda Skydeck MPV with scissor doors!
Honda’s new SKYDECK concept can seat 6 people in a three-row passenger configuration (2+2+2). Honda’s last 6-seater was the Honda Edix which has now been phased out, but that MPV had its 6 seats in a two row configuration, similiar to what Fiat did for their Multipla.
The styling cues are quite obviously inspired by the CR-Z, which leads me to believe this kind of look might become quite commonplace on future Hondas. The front doors have a scissor hinge like a Lamborghini while the rear door is of the rearward-sliding variety. The powertrain is of course a hybrid but no further details have been revealed.
More will probably be disclosed at the Tokyo show next month, so stay tuned, but for now you can look after the jump for hi-res images.

now we have Small Office, Home Office (SOHO)… this can potentially can be converted to MOHO… ‘Mobile Office, Honda Office’.
Make there 2nd row seats turn-able 180°… and you’re halfway there.

When Honda used those super thin seat no body complain. Last time P2 MPV uses the thin seat at the 3rd row some say “papan lapis”..What do you call this Honda super thin seat now?Card board??
October 1, 2009 @ 12:46 am
its nice, but is the lambo doors practical? imagine inside parking lot. the ceiling is low the car is rather high.
anyone remember the toyota sora? came with butterfly doors, a few units in malaysia i believe.

@Tungkai…
We call it a ‘concept’. In P2 cases… we call it ‘in production’. So people HAVE TESTED IT. (even i myself tested it @ Angsana, JB…)
Of coz it’s not a ‘papan lapis’… but do u get the idea?
