Respect your elders, the Honda way
The year was 1973 when the Civic was brought by Honda in the US of A. Naturally, it was completely different than what the American car customer had been seeing in showrooms, but the recipe worked.
And speaking of recipe, the Civic came to do battle against the likes of Chevy Vega and Pinto with a transversely-mounted 1169-cc four-cylinder with 50 horsepower bolted to a four-speed manual.
And again, it worked, because the Civic was about simplicity that never disappointed, even though the 0-60 sprint done in 15.1 seconds and the 90-mph top speed weren’t exactly something to write home about.
Fast forward to the present day and Honda’s electrification ambitions have given birth to a cute EV known simply as the Honda e. And it’s not until you put it next to the OG Civic that you realize just how much it takes after its great-great-great-greeeat-grandfather. Rounded headlights on a blacked-out grille? Checked. Hatchback body? Of course. Modern retro interior? You bet.
Unfortunately, the Honda e won’t be arriving on U.S. soil (for now) which is kind of painful, because it would be an amazing nod back to the original Civic as well as an interesting buy for quite some customers, we believe, despite the fact that small cars aren’t and weren’t the favorite meal of the American car buyer.
So, before Honda makes a move in this regard, CarPervert’s video will keep us soothed and happy.
