The Tesla Cybertruck's futuristic style might be catching on.

The Saloon is sleek and has a bubblelike shape, with a yoke steering wheel and a falcon door. It also has steer-by-wire technology, a feature designed to improve a vehicle's maneuverability. The Cybertruck uses the technology.

Honda aims to bring an EV based on the Saloon to the US market by 2026 and plans to integrate autonomous-driving features into the lineup.

The Space-Hub is more reminiscent of a minivan, with a much-larger and more-boxy shape, plus an all-glass ceiling.

Honda has not commented on any similarities between its new concept cars and the Cybertruck. In fact, Shinji Aoyama, the global executive vice president of Honda, said in a press release that the vehicles had a design that was "overwhelmingly different from other EVs to evoke a new perspective for people."

When Tesla CEO Elon Musk unveiled the angular and futuristic design for the Cybertruck in 2019, it proved polarizing, with some even calling it ugly. Since then, the Cybertruck has garnered over 2 million online reservations, according to one tally, and several celebrities have bought it.

Tesla began deliveries of the electric pickup truck late last year.
