-Takahiro Hachigo is the new CEO of Honda and has worked at the company for 30 years. He started in 1978 as a chassis R&D engineer, and worked on the original NSX, one of his claims to fame.
So, with a history like that, you’d think that he’d have a garage full of great performance metal. Instead, he used to own an Accord and an Odyssey. And now, he has no car.
-It’s weird to think that the CEO of one of the world’s largest and most successful automakers doesn’t own a car, but his mission at the company is a noble one. Hachigo wants Honda to make fun cars, which is why he loves the new S660 roadster and is a fan of the Civic Type R.

He likes the Type R so much that he plans to buy one as his next car. That’s a choice we approve of. It’s also far better than an Odyssey.
