2012 Honda N One


This went on sale in Japan in late 2012, obviously a modern makeover of the original Honda N360. The retro-styled "kei car" uses a 660cc engine that can be had with or without a turbocharger to boost output and performance.

"The car is too small for U.S. sales, and it's not meant for European consumption either."

Which is probably not surprising.  The other problem is its looks.  While the original had a certain Je ne sais quoi, this just looks ugly; it's not hard to guess what Jeremy Clarkson would say about it :-)
