1. Honda City

The Honda City, City Turbo and City Turbo II were rare creations. It came in a few different configurations and only available on the Japanese domestic market. The trim levels went from standard put-around-town to all track mini monster. The best part about this oddity is that it was sometimes equipped with a scooter that could be placed snuggly in the trunk

2. S600

One of the ultimately rare Hondas that came in two trim levels; roadster or coupe. This was one of the first mass-marketed vehicles to be created by Honda. By 1965, over 12 thousand vehicles were sold in a mix of both configurations.

3. Mugen NSX RR

This was considered the 2nd wave of the all popular NSX. But they came out a few years late in 2008 as a concept car. Production of the NSX stopped in 2005. This car would have been proven to be a major hit during the time of the NSX because of all the different features. Everything from the strange "widebody" kit and scoop on the rear of the roof to the longitudinally mounted motor. The tuning organization also opted for a smaller, supercharged V6.

4. Crosstour

Originally started life as the Accord Crosstour, this crossover SUV had a short lived life from 2009-2015. For those familiar with your Auntie's Accord, this was something of an eyesore. It appeared to be a bloated Honda Accord. It was eventually replaced with the HR-V in 2016.

5. Honda Jet

This was the first aircraft developed by Honda. They were meant to be small business jets. The first one was designed in Japan and developed in Greensboro, NC. It took several years and many delays but this jet finally got certified for production in late 2015. Between then and now, about 40 models have been produced with a steady increase in production rate. Most of the production will be for European customers.
