  Honda has come a long way since it's beginnings. So has toyota. These vehicles became popular during the "gas crunch" years. Gasoline went from .45 cents a gallon to 2 bucks. US car manufacturers had no answer for this severe problem. Yes both Honda and Toyota were considered "cheap crapy" cars but they sold like hotcakes because of the great gas millage they got. The Volkswagon Beetle was the only vehicle that came close. My HS pal had one. You could put 2 bucks of gas in this thing and drive it for 3 days. I had a Chevy that I got 8 miles on 2 bucks. HeHe.
