The Honda Personal-Neo Urban Transport (P-NUT) is another one of those unusual design studies for the future of personal transit.  The design, courtesy of Honda’s LA studio, focuses on an aerodynamic shape combined with maximum interior space.  The driving position is centered, offering a prime operating point–though at the expense of extra front passengers.  The rear-positioned engine bay will house a low-displacement petrol engine, a small-scale gas-electric powertrain, or a solely electric battery unit.

Audi will be pulling its A1 sub-compact and new A8 from a Frankfurt debut.  Both cars were scheduled for a flashy premiere, but word is Audi execs want to spread out the new product showings for other expos in the season.  The Frankfurt event will instead spotlight the A5 Sportback.
