Could This Be the World's Healthiest Car?

We spend so much time in our cars, so if you're like me, you've probably wondered why car makers haven't created a car with healthy features. But wait, could this be the world's healthiest new vehicle?

I've always wondered why car makers haven't figured out a way to make cars healthier. I mean, so many of us spend hours a day in our vehicles, and those hours have been linked with higher rates of disease. What if a car brand unveiled a fabulous new "healthy car" that filtered air, was made of nontoxic materials and came with seats that give a great massage? Too much to ask?

Well, the closest thing to a healthy car seems to be rolling out in Japan. Honda's new "She's" car is sort of like the "Fit" model we know, but it boasts windows that screen 99.9 percent of UV rays, which could help reduce skin cancer. How cool is that?

As wonderful as that is, the marketing campaign for the car is a tad annoying. As Blisstree points out, some of the company executives seem to think that women will get excited that the color of the new car will "match their eyeshadow." Um.

That aside, tell me: Would you be more interested in a car if it came with healthy features? I would!

P.S. The weight loss coach that's also a ... robot. And, the appliance you should splurge on, and another you shouldn't...
