In September, Honda stole the Frankfurt Auto Show with its totally adorable Urban EV. On Wednesday, the company showed there's more where that came from, using the Tokyo Motor Show to debut the Sports EV. If the Urban EV channeled designs from the past like the Z600, the Sports EV looks heavily influenced by Toyota's drop-dead gorgeous 2000GT. Unfortunately, we know almost nothing about this wonderful little electric vehicle. Honda says that it "designed the sporty electric car to deliver a feeling of joy and emotional unity to the drive, achieved by efficiently combining the EV powerunit and AI technology in a compact bodyshape."

As with the Urban EV, we have just one message for Honda: build it, in volume, and sell it here in the US. Please.

Electrification was obviously a key message for Honda at its home auto show this year. In addition to unveiling the Sports EV, it also brought along the Urban EV (which will go into production in Europe in 2019), and NeuV, an autonomous concept car first seen at CES that is part personal-transport, part personal assistant.

Surely the weirdest concept has to be RoboCas. If the press images are anything to go by, it's a robot that can help you with karaoke, double as a food cart, and even babysit children. I'm not going to lie, I kinda want one...
