A rare car, I have never heard about it... |

Never ? It was sold in Europe in the early 80's. And it's the ancestor of today's Integra. |

I do not remember either that "Quintet" model... Though that I know many Honda models, at least by name -- Last edit: 2007-05-25 23:36:01 |

If you can read any German, have a look here: Link to "images.google.nl" I remember that a German magazine published "Cw-Werte" (aerodynamics coefficients) and the Quintet was the only car that had a worse number than the Citroën 2CV ![]() |

I'm back ![]() Sold in Europe as Quintet, and in Japan as Quint. Very close technically from 2nd gen Civic and 1st gen Accord. A little success for "Hondamatic" version. Some european market as Belgium and The Nederlands got its successor, the Integra, sold in Japan as Quint Integra and in North America as Acura Integra. |

I saw one Quintet in a car repair garage in the same street where I live. That was in the 1990's though. All Quintet's I've seen have been white. For Quintet I have brochures and a bulletin intended for sales men. Also Civic sedan and wagon models of this same period are very, very rare. Hatchbacks are still seen on the road. |

Where it was built? On the page, DynaMike has shown, stands, that it was produced together with Rover. And I remember, that in some articles in motor-magazines of the early 80ies it was written, that it was a Japanese car (the first one??), which was built in England. |
