Honda is gearing up for the 2023 Japan Mobility Show in Tokyo, and it’s looking both to its rich history and the future to make an impression. The company’s theme for this year’s display is the “Honda Dream Loop,” a nod to its storied history and its commitment to pushing the boundaries of mobility.
