We get behind the wheel of the Japan-only Honda S660, and discover why such a car may never be produced by a mainstream manufacturer again
What's this? A new review segment? Yep. To vary things up a little, we'll be getting behind the wheel of some lesser-seen cars, many of which were offered strictly within Japan's borders. While JDM is a term that's often banded around with reckless abandon, we'll do our best to limit it to cars that wouldn't usually be found in the U.S. and Europe - of course, that rule may be bent depending on what crops up .
The S660 was designed instead to replicate the feeling you get in a go-kart. Sure, when you're in a go-kart, you're not really traveling at breakneck speeds, but the way you're made to feel compensates for that. The inclusion of a roll-up fabric panel helps things no end, turning the Honda S660 into a targa-topped sports car. And out on the open road, you can see what they were on about.
