What came first, Honda Today or Honda City?
Honda Today This Honda Today was a "kei car" (minivehicle) produced by the Japanese automaker Honda beginning in 1985. It was replaced by the Honda Life in 1998. Honda's smallest car being produced at the time was the Honda City, which was a supermini and it had an engine larger than "kei" car legislation allowed. The Today represented a re-entry into "kei" car production. Honda had abandoned "kei" passenger cars in 1975, choosing to manufacture the Honda Acty kei truck, and the Honda Street microvan for that segment. Previously, Honda's smallest car was the Honda Civic, followed by the smaller Honda City in 1981.
