Honda Car Forum

While in the Philippines recently I saw a Honda model called City. The
current version appeared somewhat intermediate in styling and size between
the Civic and Accord. What is this model?

looks like the previous generation European Honda Accord...

It's very small. I've heard rumblings that some US dealers would like to
see it positioned in their line-ups as an entry level car--like the Civic
used to be. It could compete directly with Hyundai, Kia, and Daewoo. I
know of no plans to make this happen, though.
