Honda Motor Co.’s name may currently be tainted with the global air bag recalls, but it has proved that it remains an automaker with an attitude, launching a new, genre-defying mini sports car developed by a twenty-something pioneer.

Debuted on April 2, Honda’s S660 is a car of contradiction. It’s a two-seat roadster that delivers a sports appearance for drivers who seek that. Its strikingly sleek body turns heads, and it features a dinky steering wheel and an extremely low driving position typical of roadsters.
