Sony’s plans with Honda to field the uniquely styled Afeela brand are still on track, with the futuristic but somewhat anonymous sedan set for a 2026 launch.

This month Sharp revealed the LDK+ concept at the Tokyo International Forum in Japan, developed in concert with Hon Hai Technology Group, better known as Foxconn, maker of the iPhone.
