# Single-Seater Sedans The Honda 3R-C is Unveiled in Advance of the Geneva Motor Show By Brian G Randles | Published 2010-02-26 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/honda-3r-c2 References: [dvice](http://dvice.com/archives/2010/02/honda-debuts-st.php) & [green.autoblog](http://green.autoblog.com/2010/02/24/geneva-preview-honda-3r-c-concept-takes-another-shot-at-persona/) Personal mobility is all the rage now. The ceremonial burial of the argument for bigger is better was seen a few days ago when the Hummer brand went down harder than, well, a Hummer. The tricycle-inclined Honda 3R-C is basically a pod car that runs on lithium batteries. Although only a concept right now the Honda 3R-C is set to debut at the Geneva Motor Show next week. The new wave of autos is going to be small, and this little guy certainly packs a lot of potential into its little frame. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Personal Mobility Revolution:** As the demand for personal mobility increases and the argument for bigger is better declines, there is an opportunity for automakers to innovate by creating smaller, more efficient vehicles. - **Pod Cars:** Pod cars like the Honda 3R-C are an emerging trend that automakers can leverage to design futuristic, compact vehicles that prioritize sustainability and individual mobility. - **Electric Vehicles:** The Honda 3R-C's use of lithium batteries is indicative of a larger trend towards electric vehicles.
