Today [Honda](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2026-honda-hrv) announced a selfie car, which has been described as either an April Fool's Day joke or a "Millennial dream come true." The Honda HR-V Selfie Edition is equipped with 10 different selfie-taking cameras inside and outside the car, from the steering wheel to the back bumper. This doesn't include the multi-angle rear view camera that comes on all Honda models. The hands-free selfies can also be uploaded to social media platforms using HondaLink.

The selfie car is a "unique trim model" targeted towards 19 to 24 year olds. Apparently on sale in the United States this summer, the HR-V SLF lets you capture every moment of every day.

Even though the vehicle was announced on March 21st on the Honda website, [Twitter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fsd) and [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/augmented-reality-driving-game), many have deemed the press release an April Fool's prank.
