The Honda CoPilot is basically a Pilot with about four feet sawed out of the middle. Think of it as an all-wheel-drive Japanese Smart car.  

The CoPilot is powered by an upgraded Honda GX390 pressure washer engine, and while the horsepower rating is not yet available, Honda says the motor can produce up to 4,200 PSI of water pressure.  

Meanwhile, Cadillac’s CT1 will be the smallest model in the automaker’s stable. Built on the Chevrolet Spark platform, the CT1 features the same 1.4 liter Ecotec four, but it’s been heavily breathed upon and now produces 100-horsepower compared to the Spark’s 98.

Will there be a CT1-V?  While the answer isn’t known, the rumor mill started churning after photos were taken of a  CT-1 sporting four exhaust outlets (shown below).  A 272-horsepower CT1-V powered by the Camaro’s 2.0 liter Ecotec four would be fun.
