Drawing Board

Honda Urban SUV concept: It seems that small and tall wagons are becoming quite fashionable (check out the Buick Enclave, for example) and Honda clearly wants in on the action. Its Urban SUV prototype is likely planned for production sometime in 2014, it will slot beneath the CR-V in Honda's wagon hierarchy and share the same platform as the next-generation sub-compact Fit. There's no word on powerplant yet, but the name "Urban" suggests that a gas-electric system borrowed from the Civic Hybrid or CRZ Hybrid could be installed.
