Honda S600 or Toyota S800? That is the question.

The Honda has a more interesting drive train, but the Toyota’s quirky looks are endearing.

The Yotahachi is one of my dream cars so, the Toyota.

Find one of the Toyotas with a buggered engine and do an engine swap. Motorcycle engine maybe?

Me too. I love the covered headlights and the roofline. The S600 looks a little too similar to an MGB GT for me.

I like the Toyota more, but there’s probably a reason they sold so few of them compared to Honda’s roadsters.

Have you seen Jay Leno’s S600 hotrod video? It sounds insane:

Yeah that high revving chain drive setup is too cool. If I had to guess, I bet it was lack of interest in the Toyota’s polarizing styling + conventional drivetrain that accounted for poor sales.

I love the S600, but Toyota, hands down....LOVE the look of that car. Also, I have a thing for 2-cylinder engines in automobiles. :P

Sports 800.

The S600 may be the best sounding car of all time, but you can’t ignore how the Sports 800 was capable of a top speed in exceess of 100 mph despite only putting out 28 horsepower, through the power of aerodynamics alone.

It’s too bad the Toyotas are so rare! I haven’t seen one and I doubt I will for quite some time.

Growing up my friends Dad, who happened to be a distinguished brain surgen, used to put on driving gloves and take his ratty old datsun roadster out for rips on the weekends.. I always though he was a pretty smart guy.

A Honda S600 is at the very top of my list for a car with a street bike swap. I love the mini MGB GT looks.

I hope you do mate, I doubt I ever will unless I happen upon a museum with one, and there are none anywhere near me...

Yeah it’s an elegant interpretation of the roadster-turned-coupe idea. Realistically I like the way both cars look.

Maybe a Japanese car show? I saw an Autozam AZ-1 at a local show last year, so that gives me hope! You never know...

I want to prefer the quirkiness of the Toyota, but I have an aching want for an S600, there’s just something about them.
