According to this article on !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , a Honda S660 with a 1.0 liter engine for markets outside Japan has been given the green light.
Rumors !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! in the U.S. have been circulating for quite some time. We’ve reported before that Honda could wait for the more potent version of the S660 to arrive before exporting to other markets including the United States. While 126 hp doesn’t sound like much, it should be plenty for a mini-car that weighs between 1,875 and 2,000 pounds. To meet American front- and side-impact regulations, however, some changes would need to be made.
This is old news, we know that there is a version of the S660 planned for sale in certain European markets. Despite this, there is still enthusiasm in corporate Honda to sell the car worldwide. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
“I would personally fight for it,” Iwamura told journalists, if the American market demands the car.
Despite further speculation, there’s hope that we will finally see Honda’s kei car stateside!

Now here’s hoping there are no hybrid systems or silly “it’s a ‘commuter car’ so it is efficient, not sporty” mantras to hold it back. Really, if it has something like 120ish hp it would easily be a miata fighter, possibly even lower as a 500 abarth fighter.

“If the American market demands the car”
Listen up America. You know what you must do. And that is not buy any more large SUVs and start sending letters to Honda and telling them to bring it over.

It will have 126 horsepower. Also considering they’re dropping the hybrid stuff in the CR-Z, there’s hope that if the S1000 makes it to the US, it will remain a sports car.

Dear god if they produce a gas-only CR-Z, then I might actually want to buy a new car.

I don’t blame him. It looks fun. And it’s like an MR2 but except more new.

As happy as I am at this news, I freely admit I would not likely trade my FiST for one. If I had some more money and a garage I would get it as a second car
