Honda’s entry into the car business in the U.S. started with the AN600 sedan and the AZ600 Coupe. Named for their 600 cc or 0.6 liter motorcycle derived engines, the sedan wasn’t what most of us would define as such. Rather it was more of a Mini Cooper knock-off with a small back panel access to the “trunk” or what should have been a hatchback, while the coupe was a bit sportier in styling with an odd rear hatch.
I owned and drove both of these models extensively decades after their introduction, and though tiny they were actually rather capable and efficient for their era. My wife, Michelle, and I drove our coupe to a micro car show in Massachusetts on highways and back roads, and if you think trucks look big from your vehicle’s perspective, you should see the world through the windshield of a Honda AZ600.
