    Honda's Dog Friendly car! Empty Honda's Dog Friendly car!

    Cars are becoming so friendly that now you can even pamper your pets in your
    car. It is believed that most of the Americans are crazy for pets especially
    dogs and to suit their requirement Honda has introduced a dog-friendly car.
    Dog-friendly car? Sounds too strange but that’s what Honda calls its new car
    that comes with a cushioned dog bed in the trunk fitted with a built-in water
    bowl and fan. It also has a ramp to help less agile dogs get into the car.
    The pet-friendly car is designed on the platform of Honda’s Element utility
    vehicle that was showcased at the New York Auto Show. Surprisingly, the car was
    unveiled with the help of a rescue dog named Sammy.
    Pets have now become more like family for many and this has increases a
    demand for a special pet-friendly car in the market. Apart from refined features
    for comfort of the pet the dog-friendly version of Element also comes with
    easy-wash seat covers so that even if the pet makes it dirty it can be easily
    cleaned. The most interesting part is the fitted dog bed with restraints to
    ensure safety of the pet.
    The car manufacturer is still to add more
    pet-friendly features in the car that is expected to go on sale in U.S. by the
    end of this year but no clues whether it will ever come to India. If it does it
    would be really interesting and incredible.(carazoo.com)

    It is very interesting to know about a dog-friendly car :lol: . But it won't make any sense here, so the chance of it to come here is less.

    There was one episode on the Top Gear Series as well wherein Jeremy was driving a Honda/ a Volvo which was dog friendly.

    There ain't much scope for such cars in the Indian market.

    Looks good.
    The Ramp and the net look pretty well thought of.

    Sadly this car just might not make an impression here.
    Indians would rather find some other use for the boot and have the dog ride on the passenger seat
