The Glorious History of Honda – Part II (1978–1997)

By the late 1970s, Honda had already proven itself as a bold innovator, but the years ahead would elevate the company into a global powerhouse. Between 1978 and 1997, Honda’s story unfolded across racetracks, highways, and showrooms, marked by daring engineering leaps and iconic vehicles that defined an era.

This was the age of the Civic and Accord becoming household names, of groundbreaking technologies like VTEC reshaping performance, and of Honda’s relentless pursuit of efficiency and reliability winning over millions worldwide. It was also a time when Honda’s motorcycles continued to dominate, and its cars began to challenge—and often surpass—the established giants of the industry.
