Two of the vehicles that have started to make their presence feel in Pakistan’s used imported cars market are Honda N-One and Honda N-WGN. Both are Japanese kei cars and have been quite popular lately. Both vehicles come with a Honda Earth Dreams engine that is the only 660cc, as it is required by the Japanese government. Honda N-One went on sale in November 1, 2012, whereas the N-WGN went on sale a year later. Both these cars were designed for Japan and can therefore be purchased as brand new only in Japan. By naming the series N, Honda is basically paying tribute to its popular N360 vehicle of the 60s and 70s.
