We've reported on the reincarnation of the Honda Beat before, but new word out of Japan says that the project might be inching closer to reality. Auto Express reports that the new Beat will feature either a 1.3 or 1.5 liter VTEC engine mated to a dual-clutch transmission. Styling is said to take inspiration from the Honda OSM Concept car from a few years ago (pictured above).
Anyone else excited to see Honda's new take on open-top motoring? It will be interesting to see how this car stacks up against the next-generation Mazda Roadster.
