Honda W.O.W. (Wonderful Open-hearted Wagon) Concept, 2005
Believe it or not, Honda W.O.W. stands for Wonderful Open-hearted Wagon, and this small minivan concept caters to Japan's dog-loving fraternity.

The W.O.W. has three rows of thin designer seats mounted on a wooden floor. Six people can ride in style or the two second-row seats can transform into a flexible dog cover. Honda has also built another (small) dog storage bin into the left side of the dashboard.

Slightly smaller than a Civic, the 157-inch W.O.W. has front and rear sliding doors on either side and a pair of big commercial-style doors at the back. Honda provided no engine details, but should the W.O.W. make it into production, it would likely have a 1.5-liter four.

An innovative canine brain receiver (CBR) allows dogs to pilot the W.O.W. by looking in the direction they want to drive. A brain-wave transponder reads the image the dog sees and transposes it over satellite imagery to plot a course using GPS signals. Honda claims the liability issues usually associated with this fledgling technology are mitigated by having a dog at the helm canines can't be sued. If you believed this last paragraph, however, we recommend counseling, and not for Fido.


Хватит потакать капризам людей, пора открыть сердца (отсюда название Wonderful Open-hearted Wagon) навстречу братьям нашим меньшим. В торпедо концепта помещена клетка для маленькой собачонки, а для друга человека покрупнее предназначен контейнер, встроенный в извлекаемое из «подпола» кресло. Достав оттуда еще одно сиденье, можно превратить компактный (длина 3980 мм), но с внушительной базой (2680 мм) W.O.W в шестиместный автомобиль для людей. Машинка также запомнится асимметричными створками задней двери и фонарями с витыми алыми «пружинами» габаритных огней и стоп-сигналов, нанизанными на белый «шток» ламп заднего хода.
