Honda has long been known for two attributes. First, Honda is a cutting-edge brand continually introducing new models. Second, the automaker is known for incredible reliability. Combine these two attributes and it is no wonder that there are many Honda models that are no longer available to buy new (having been replaced by another innovation) but are still available in good operating condition on the used market, sometimes for hefty sums. Wouldn’t it be fun if Honda brought back some of these discontinued models for even one more year? Here are three that would be particularly exciting to see:

Add to it the vehicle’s sporty look, complete with a fully convertible roof, and the S2000 would rival any luxury vehicle on the market today.
- CRX
This two-seat hatchback was critically acclaimed, twice winning Motor Trend’s Import Car of the Year. It was also a hit with consumers for one simple Read the rest of this entry »
