I went to Japan about 3 years ago. There are Hondas, just not the ones you are used to seeing. Examples are the City, ACTY, Jazz, Stepwgn, Vamos, Zest, Inspire, ect. They have many different models than us!
For example, the Life.
Not a hybrid, but gets nearly 50 MPG (21 km/l)
Also, It can come with 4WD
Price is about $12,000
Why not here in America? Probably because it only makes a whopping 51.29 Horsepower and 44.25 ft-lbs of Torque. Also the size... I don't think it would market well over here.
http://www.honda.co.jp/auto-lineup/ IDK if you can read Japanese, but if you hover over the pictures of the different cars you will see the name in english.Last edited by EJX_Michael; 08-09-2010, 03:01 PM.

...and they have to comply with the US Emissions and Safety regulations. Also their Kei cars are made to go through those pesky alley roadways where regular vehicles mostly have to squeeze through.
That Honda Crossraod looks good , they should bring that to replace the nasty looking Honda Pilot.Last edited by ExplodingCake; 08-09-2010, 03:14 PM.

Holy schnit!
The JDM civic hybrid MXB gets 31-23 km/l which converts to 72.92-54.1 MPG! Why do our cars get significantly less? My only guess would be the emissions standards, but that almost doesn't make sense...

Originally posted by HardInThePaint View PostDamn if thats the case then I bet their car financing there is extremely lenient. I couldn't imagine them really trippin on a whole lot of shit to get u into a car if ur buying them every couple of years of so. I wonder what they do with all of those used cars? Ship them to other countries? I bet they have like almost no used car lots there.

As mentioned above, they have a very high turn over of cars (Im betting its probably the highest - higher than Europe).
The turn over of cars is so high that a 4 year old car is considered getting long in the tooth too difficult and expensive to maintain (not passing registration tests - for us its equivalent to maintaining a 40 year old car).
So CB7's being 20 years (or near) is near impossible to still be in existence. I suspect they would have started to scrap the first CB7 as early as 1996.
Bear in mind that the last year of the CB7 in Japan does not co-inside with the final year of production in the US (It would ceased production in Japan a year before it even ceased in the US).
CB7's (or the CB platform - used also for the Ascot, Innova & Aspires at the time) are pretty much ancient history (ages ago) by their standards (maybe as early as late 90's and early 2000's most if not all gone).Last edited by JDMDriver; 08-11-2010, 09:22 AM.Rides:
