Honda wagon for dog lovers

Juniper Foo | Oct 06, 2005

Bow WOW! It's taken long enough, but surprisingly it's a Japanese car manufacturer that's taken the leash, er, lead on this one to unveil a dog-friendly minivan called the WOW concept (short for wonderful openhearted wagon). Taking into consideration that a fifth of Japanese households own a pooch, Honda said it created a car from the point of view of a dog. The result: Removable, washable, rollout flooring, wide sliding doors, and a special crate for dogs in the glove apartment for owners to interact with their pets while driving. If that's too distracting, there's a bigger crate in the back seat area that can be folded back into the floor when not needed. Bigger canines can be buckled up with a special seat belt to the floor. This being Japan, guess Sony's Aibo pups can apply, neh?
