Honda Canada hosted the world premiere of the new GEAR Concept Study Model at the 2013 Montreal Auto Show. This subcompact car is aimed at hip, young, urban customers from Generation Y.

"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," said Dave Marek, Design Director at Honda R&D Americas, Inc. "GEAR Concept tears down those walls -- it's practical but fun, customizable, connected and affordable."

Okay, but does it have a future? Honda did not comment on production plans, so we'll have to wait to find out.

Also on display at the Montreal Auto Show is the 2013 Honda Accord HFP Coupe, a performance model exclusively available in Canada.
