Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (本田技研工業株式会社 Honda Giken Kōgyō KK is a Japanese public multinational corporation primarily known as a manufacturer of auto-mobiles, motorcycles and power equipment.
Honda has been the world's largest motorcycle manufacturer since 1959,as well as the world's largest manufacturer of internal combustion engines measured by volume, producing more than 14 million internal combustion engines each year. Honda became the second-largest Japanese automobile manufacturer in 2001.

CRX SI
106/160HP / 1.5/1.6L / 0-60 mph in 9/7.5s
Like the Civic, with which it shares some components, the Honda CRX has returned in a blaze of glory after a two-year hiatus from our Ten Best list. Also like the Civic, Honda’s two-seater is all new for 1988. Its aerodynamic drag is down and its horsepower up, which means that it’s more of a runner than ever. With 105 horsepower on tap and fourteen-inch, 60-series tires on the pavement, the top-of-the-line CRX Si is one racy roller skate.
The previous 1.6-liter 16V engine became standard on the CRX Mk2. It got a boost of 5 horsepower to compensate for the 20 kg increase of kerb weight, so performance remained unchanged. Top of the range was powered by Honda's new B16A 1.6-liter DOHC VTEC engine. This was the second application of the soon-to-be-famous VTEC variable valve timing and lift technology (the first one was Integra), and the first time overseas customers had a taste of it (because the VTEC Integra was not exported). Rev it to 7600 rpm, the VTEC engine produced 150 horsepower, enabling 130 mph and 0-60 in 7.5 seconds.
