Honda Civic Del Sol

Honda was a dominant company in the automotive industry in the 1990s. Their cars were more popular than ever and they offered a superior value to the domestic brands. But one car left enthusiasts scratching their heads, and that was the Del Sol. The Del Sol was a two-door Civic roadster, with a targa top and a reasonable price tag. The problem was that there was no increase in performance and you lost the back seat (via Slash Gear).

The Del Sol gained a loyal following over the years but the design of the car was very limiting. The two-door design with no backseat meant that you couldn’t have a lot of passengers. Likewise, the performance wasn’t much of an improvement over a regular Honda Civic model so most drivers didn’t opt for it. Honda released the S2000 a few years later as a much more performance-oriented roadster.
