Honda has released teaser pictures of its Ridgeline inspired parade float that will transform into some sort of aircraft at the 119th Rose Parade themed "Passport to the World's Celebrations," that will take place Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2008 at 8 am (PST). 
On New Year's Day, the parade-watchers will watch the Honda Ridgeline-inspired truck rising from the bed of the float in a cloud of mist, become an airborne craft and 'blast off' with a replica of ASIMO, Honda's humanoid robot, at the controls. According to the Japanese carmaker, the hood of the truck will fold forward to become an aircraft cockpit, the doors and sides of the truck will unfold outward to become wings, the wheels will tuck under the body, and the bed of the truck will open and take on the form of an aircraft tail section, complete with rocket engines - and even real fire. -Continued
"American Honda is committed to creating products that give people mobility - on both two and four wheels, and soon, in the skies. This year's float takes a fun and imaginative look at what the future of mobility might hold," said Steve Morikawa, assistant vice president of American Honda Motor Co.
