Been reading about how companies get their start in different countries and apparently Honda's entire US operation basically traces back to this tiny 1971 N600. Everything that made them successful here came from that little car's blueprint. It's kind of wild to think about. The N600 was basically a microcar, nothing fancy, but it got people interested in Honda as a brand when they were a total unknown in America. They kept iterating on that formula and suddenly you've got the Civic and Accord dominating the market for decades. It's the kind of origin story that feels almost too neat to be true but apparently just happened. My only thing is I wonder how different the car market would look if that one car had flopped. We take it for granted that Honda was always going to be huge here, but there was a real moment where it could've gone either way. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a73859500/1971-honda-n600-bring-a-trailer-auction/
