Reading about this Honda, the 1300 had a redesign before the car went on sale. The front was inspired by the Pontiac Firebird which Soichiro Honda owned and was very fond of at the time.

Cool.

 

[All Your Base]

Japanese car. Early seventies Japanese car. Sub-zero.

 

[Slash]

Little work could make one of these things incredibly badass. Small block it, some meat out back, relocate the mirrors, drop it an inch and you'd have a winner.

Cool.

 

[LivingWithGames]

It's a cool vintage honda car. Not sub-zero because I'm not too used with the front of it. I don't like it much.

 

[Cano]

Best Honda ever. Sorry NSX.

 

[LivingWithGames]

Best Honda ever. Sorry NSX.

Now I respect that. I'm a sucker for NSX's but this is truly much better. NSX's are legend, but this is more than a legend. It's a Honda relic. A gem.

But the front end looks soooo Pontiac.

 

[LivingWithGames]

But the front end looks soooo Pontiac.

That's one sorta reason aswell I voted cool. I guess. The front end very honda ish...I think. But it somewhat fitting.

 

[Ken]

Cool. But not subzero. At the end of the day, you're still riding around in a small econobox. An iconic econobox, but a tool to get you from point A To point B all the same. That iconology raises it from meh, but not to the lofty heights.

oi, @Jaghee1124, don't you put any of the extra info we provide when we make the nomination in the OP anymore?

Wait just a minute!



Fender mounted mirrors are the best.

Fender mounted mirrors are ungodly amounts of ugly, ruin cars and provide horrible rearview.

Grrr didn't work. again:

You suck, dude.

EDIT: AACK, double posting via having the exact same thread open in two browsers at the same time

 

[Slash]

You suck, dude.

I'm very particular about what I like

Cool.

Even though it's FWD?

I'm no longer responsible for making the OP's, @GranTurismo916 now is

RWD conversion.

Why are you running it then?

 

[Ken]

Why are you running it then?

School. For a week anyways.

 

[Jahgee]

Why are you running it then?

I still post the threads, update the nominations queue, update the results thread & update the spreadsheet. I can retake over making the OP's if everyone wants, but the threads would be even less frequent than they are now (Which will eventually pick back up, I've just been swamped recently)

Fair enough.

I'm not surprised at that answer.

 

[SVX]

If it came from the factory like the green one pictured, insta-cool. Due to it not looking like that from the factory, and instead looking kind of dorky, uncool.

What green one?

 

[SVX]

What green one?

The first one in the additional pictures.

 

[a6m5]

I'd call that teal. It's the color me & my brothers always argued over. I called it blue & they called it green.

I thought that was one of the stock colors though.

 

[Downhill Dino]

The first one in the additional pictures.

That's blue.... it's the same car as the third additional picture as well.

Yeah, teal, what was I thinking?

Its one of the stock colours, but on that you can tell its been modified. Bucket seat, and the front wheels are more flush with a tad of camber, which is really the difference between 'cool' and 'uncool', for me. Makes it look less wimpy and more of a KPGC10 competitor.

That's blue.... it's the same car as the third additional picture as well.

Well, I'd call it teal like @a6m5. But it's definitely not green, not sure what I was thinking to be honest...
