I just found this gallery while playing around Honda JP website. Needless to say, I find it a true little gem any Honda enthusiast should see.

Obviously some will start making a fuss out of the fact that the last car in that list is the Integra DC5R, but really, just go bitch somewhere else and leave this thread for those able to enjoy the gallery.

Honda Driver's seat

It is simply so nice to go around and see how the different interior design elements from Honda have kept evolving with time. Then I'd bet you'll be surprised (I was) finding the precursors of many of modern Honda interiors, which you may think came out of the blue, but did not.

Here is one of those I found shocking, 78 Prelude.


Then I found this little old classic I never knew. Am I the only one seeing a CR-Z grand father on this tiny '70 Z?


And yes, that was powered by a 356cc engine generating an amazing 36PS at 9000rpm. And yes, it was good for 28km/L (though at 60km/h constant speed) or 65 US mpg !!!
Ah... good old times :)

Another one of my favorites is the 72's Step WGN, which I believe Honda's first ever minivan. Truly remarkably simple yet classy stuff. And notice how at this time every single button on these cars was in plain English, they even wrote "ashtray" in some of them !!

There were a surprising number of these Z360s on Australian roads in the early seventies. Most popular colour was purple, followed closely by yellow. :) Saw a lot more of these things than the classic Coupe.

Good find. Is that a navigation system in the 91 Legend, or just an information center? I didn't think car navigation systems existed in 91. And what are those red things in some of the cars? Mandated flares or something?
