Car Features - Same Car, Different Names: Honda

The third Japanese brand (and overall) in which badge engineering is involved, Honda has a fair share of using different personalities for multiple vehicles. While the company manufactures a wide variety of vehicles, with this site focusing mostly on automobiles, this is where we will delve on.

As with Japanese brands, this list would be separated in two categories: the first one is the same car but different brand and the second is the same car of the same brand but wearing a different name. For the latter category, they must be sold in a different dealer network (the practice was stopped until 2006). Cars launched from 1990 and above would be included on the list to avoid a long list. Do take note the year range represents the entire vehicle line (including those of its twins) even if the original model was killed. The list will also include Acura vehicles.

For the straight H badge let us see what vehicles wore different names for one car.
