April fools day of: Honda
The Honda HR-V SLF would include 10 different selfie cameras inside and outside the vehicle. This Honda car even would have a feature which let's users updload photos hands-free to social media.
Honda's press release read:
"With one-third of all photos taken by people aged 18–24 being selfies, and more than one million selfies being taken each day, Honda is introducing a unique trim model to appeal to this key, influential segment. The Honda HR-V SLF, on sale in the U.S. this summer, features 10 selfie cameras throughout the vehicle to capture every moment of the day, in addition to the multi-angle rearview camera which comes standard on all Honda vehicles."
As some of us might have bought this car immediately because of the photographic features, it was an April Fools' hoax by Honda!
