A Pioneer of the Compact Car Attempts a Comeback in Japan

This time on the show, the HONDA CIVIC, back on sale in Japan after a 7-year hiatus. With the longest history of all HONDA passenger vehicles, the CIVIC is a stalwart accounting for a quarter of the brand's worldwide production. But with the continuous growing demand for subcompact cars in Japan, CIVIC sales lagged, and HONDA took it off the domestic market in 2010. 7 years later, labeled as the New CIVIC Series, will the reintroduced CIVIC be able to carry out a revival in Japan? SAMURAI TEAM investigate! Also on the show, a report about expanding new services for car sharing in Japan. Navigators: Ukyo Katayama (Racing Driver) Peter Lyon (Chairman of the World Car Awards, Motor Journalist)
