Thanks, bit...interesting site.

Before I moved out of my late parents' place, the neighbor across the street had one of these...a 1970 version, I think. It was comically small next to the big American luxury cars of the period, with their 225-230" lengths and 125-130" wheelbases.

This car, while interesting, didn't really do much for Honda's American market. That would be up to the Civic, which debuted in 1973 and first established Honda as a serious player here.
