Japanese automakers complain that Kei-cars are not so profitable, but if Honda did LHD versions of this one for export I guess it would sell like hot cakes. It might handle like a racing kart...

2015 Honda S660 Mid-Engine Roadster First Drive – Review – Car and Driver

Quote:
an inside source told us that the company is also currently working on an export version with a more powerful, 1.0-liter turbo rumored to pump out more than 125 horsepower—and that it’s earmarked for the United States.
Aside from the fact I'd rather have the 660 turbo, that's awesome news if true.

Smallest convertible available in the US since the Geo Metro convertible!

I rather just have the 660cc with no turbo

Don't want a turbo? Drop a CBR 1000 engine on it and call it a day.

Turns out Honda Beats (s660s cousin) are becoming relative common and there is a 92 convertible not far away.

Sadly it appears the engine wears out quickly into an oil burner and you need to locate rare parts to regear it for our highways.

It at least appears to be a good candidate for a tire swap to re92’s

I was hoping to see that being a Honda small engine class that insight parts would swap in but not having much luck.

I was also hoping to find wrap around interior picks and space /measurements for the trunk along with cross compatible parts with domestic but not much luck yet.

Also these are insta rust Hondas which might be tough to keep on the road here.

Aw well, not sure if anyone has one of these to fit up and compare to other Honda parts.
