    A backup camera? On a kei car?


    Can't you just reach back there and FEEL if you're about to hit something?

    I prefer Brazil Reporter's. Those have the added quality of being importable to the US (+25 yrs), and still have a four-stroke engine for less emissions drama.

    Funny how Honda had a really consistent design language across their range back then. My parents used to have the second gen Civic. Wonderful car.



    Thankfully ours was red. And I don't think it ever saw palm trees.

    @Roast Beef: Agreed. If Chuckie the homicidal doll had four wheels, he'd look like the new Honda Life. Or if the Pokémon cast of characters ever go over to "the dark side", ditto the new Honda Life front clips.
