Honda City

Anyone know why the lowly Honda City seems to be such a popular model...seems every maker has at least one version of it out there...

Because Japanese manufacturers cater to Japanese buyers. Wouldn't you want a kit of your car? I do. Rather, I want a car worth making a kit of...

I agree there

And of course I'd like an Escort model, but I don't expect evey manufacturer to have 12 different Escorts of the same year to choose from....

I had the kit for the DeLorean from the first movie, but it got trashed.

I always wondered how much work it would take to change it to a stock DeLorean... Hmmm...
