1964 Honda S600: revolutionary for its time in that it used lightweight construction, the S600 featured a 606cc 4-cylinder motor with 57-horsepower that revved all the way to 8,500 RPM. Its most spectaculat success came in 1964 when Denny Hulme drove the S600 to victory at the "500 km 1.000cc" race on the Nürburgring.

2000 Honda S2000 Rally: this is the rally version of the Honda S2000, who's engine has garnered numerous awards for being the highest power density producing production motor (120-hp per liter).

1966 Honda S800: the S800 was introduced in 1965 at the Paris Motor Show. Its 791cc 67-hp engine came from a motorcycle and officially can rev up to 8.500, though it is capable of reaching 10,000 RPM too.

1985 Honda CRX: the CRX was designed as a low priced sports car that also would deliver good fuel economy. It weighs under 1-ton and hence the 100-horsepower 1.5-l engine is more than suited to it.

Honda Civic 2.0i VTEC Type-R: 1998cc DOHC, 201-horsepower, 193 Nm @ 5,600 RPM, 11:1 compression, 235 km/h top speed, 6.6 second 0-100 km/h, 9.1 l / 100 km fuel economy.

1977 Honda Civic 1200: one of the most revolutionary compact cars of the 20th century, the Civic has been produced over 17 million times and was offered in the 1972 version with low emissions engines in Japan and the US. It was able to satisfy the strict US emission laws without a catalytic converter until 1983.

Beautiful pics as always cawimmer!! http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/clap.gif

I remember that little original civic being able to be lifted by 4 good sized men pretty easily and being placed across parking lot dividers so the owner couldn't drive away. Could be funny if it wasn't your car.

What I love about these pics is that they are of cars I could actually drive. I had a '91 CRX Si with the 1.6 engine and my wife still has a '99 Civic with a 1.7.

Got any Honda motorcycle pics?? I had 2 of those as well.

I am a grudging Honda fan for almost 20 years.
By that I mean I would not buy them if we built cars like that here in the US. But alas, we do not so I must buy Hondas. I have owned Toyotas but prefer Hondas as they leak and use less oil when they get older.

I owned a whole slew of US made cars of every brand except Ford. I even had an American Motors ( AMC ) Hornet, 1976 model year. The best American made vehicle I ever had as far as reliability was 1974 Dodge Dart. It had the legendary slant 6 cylinder engine which ran well. Too bad Chryslers had such a terrible electrical system in those days. I had a lot of electrical trouble with that thing.


And once I bought Hondas I was amazed because I did not have to do anything to maintain them except change the oil and do a tune up once in a great while. So I stuck with the buggers since then. Will have a new one within 3 weeks, I have it on order.

Thanks cawimmer, I saw one of those Honda Insights on the road about 5 years ago and was like "who hell buys such an ugly frickin car?" and I could never think of the mkae of the car or the name. But those rear wheels gave it away... nothing is built like that anymore, thank God!!! great pics as always.

I actually love Honda cars. I own a 1998 (bought new) Civic DX (hatchback). Runs like a top and is great on gas. A pleasure to drive. And the wife just got a new Honda Odessey van a few months ago. very nice cars

Mine also runs well but sounds like junk because there is some kind of heat shield or shroud that came loose a few years ago and vibrates, making either a buzzing or a clanking sound. I am now quite used to the sound but it's embarrassing, one of my co-workers commented on the sound just the other day. My Dx Hatch is silver, what color is yours?
I also bought mine new as a late hold-over in August, 1998.

Just an artists hack job based on one of the concepts back a couple of years ago. This might be roughly what the Euro Accord/Acura TSX looks like.

My parents just bought a North American spec 08 Honda Accord. Its the biggest Accord yet but the smallest car my parents have ever owned (used to own big Chryslers) and they are quite happy with it. Actually so am I...its very nice to drive. I was considering a Civic but I can't get comfortable in that car...maybe I'll spring for a new 08 Accord Coupe...not sure.

The Honda Car display photos are great! Great shots...good choices for pictures!

When I was stationed on Guam (in the mid 1970's) a friend had both a S600 and a S800 coupe, I was allowed to drive both.
The S600 had a chain drive to the back wheels and dual swing arms like a motorcycle.
Both cars were badly underpowered by todays standards.

Still the S800 was a ball to drive.

Thanks and anytime guys. http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Sadly I have no pictures of the Honda motorcycles. I seem to have missed them since I was so focused on the airplanes and the cars. If I go here again, which I probably will sometime in the future, I will definitely take some detailed shots of the bikes.

It's also good to hear that Acura is going to offer diesel engines in the American market soon. About time (not a big fan of hybrids, especially since they're marketed in the wrong way by Toyota and Lexus). http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_cool.gif
