Seems to me that making an affordable "Eco-Mobile Clone" should be duck soup for Honda. They have a well-proven Gold Wing drive train. Hona is also looking for a replacement for the gorgeous commercial flop that was the Rune.
Go back to 1200 cc four with fuel injection. Make the plastic look more like the Eco-Mobile. It is clearly a motorcycle, so the crashworthiness standars are less stringent.
Too bad the diesel is dead in the USA. A 1200cc turbodiesel might easily make this a 100 MPG vehicle with dazzling performance.
