    Over 25 years old, pretty simple to bring it over.

    Says it's a 1980, yet the description said they were only made 83-87. Does not compute.

    I'd be interested in seeing a City and a Civic Hatchback of the same era side by side. Curious to know how alike/different they are.

    The City has more character but looks to be about the same size as a 3g Civic Hatch.

    They're tiny. There used to be one down the street from me when I lived in Oz in 1984. They also came in a screaming yellow/green.

    I will bet it is closer in size to a 1g Civic. Look how gigantic the aftermarket seats look.

    Reminds me a lot of a white '87 Chevy Sprint Turbo I used to own.

    I think its not the only one that made it to North America. IIRC someone on the old Honda Hybrid forum had one in Phoenix. Maybe DILYSI Dave can fill in some details.

    The engine compartment is so clean – you literally “eat” off it

    I kind of doubt that, but you never know.

    I had to stop looking at the pics, so I wouldn't drive there tomorrow and buy it.

    SCC or SS did an article on one someone had brought over with them when they came stateside to school. Guy said he drove around with his great dane in the "drivers seat" and got all kinds of funny looks.

    It just needs a few decals to be perfect
