It added that the concept was inspired by fixed-gear bicycles (hence the name) and that it is "simple and utilitarian, but also customizable, connected and full of personality."</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Dave Marek, Design Director at <b>Honda</b> R&D Americas explained: “Subcompact cars are usually either utilitarian, but uninspiring or they’re fun, zippy cars that are impractical and too expensive for the Gen-Y buyer. GEAR Concept tears down those walls – it’s practical but fun, customizable, connected and affordable. Everything that young, discerning urban buyers would want in a car.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Honda</b> did not release any information about the car's powertrain, nor if it has plans to introduce a production model.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Articles Source : </b>Carscoop</div>
