The Cars of Gran Turismo 4 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11) |
 | | Like the N, the Z was exported with a 598-cc version of the air-cooled twin, and it actually did fairly well in the USA, though its limited speed and tiny size assured that it would never be a mainstream choice in America. |
 | | The Z, and the N before it, were also instrumental in setting up Honda's international presence; which would explode with the international introduction of the Civic in 1973 (the Civic was actually introduced in the summer of 1972). |
 | | It was, ironically, the Civic that killed off the Z and the N. The Civic was a bonafide world-wide smash, and by the time the Civic was selling well the Z and N were old hat, and too small to be truly successful outside of Japan. |
