Honda is a company that doesn’t like to follow the crowd. So, while it competes in most of the traditional sectors of the car market, in each case it does something a little bit different.

The Jazz, for example, might look like just another rival to Britain’s best-selling car, the Ford Fiesta, but it’s actually much more practical than its rivals, with a flexible boot and Tardis-like interior.

The bigger Civic is also a practical choice, but it’s mainly distinguished by having eye-catching, love-it-or-hate-it styling, despite competing in a sector of the market that’s usually more conservative than a blue rosette.

And while it may not seem so radical now, Honda’s large SUV, the CR-V, was one of the first to forego any pretence of being an off-roader and instead focus on on-road driving dynamics.

Honda boss Takeo Fukui has announced the company will focus future developments on environmental initiatives and the NSX supercar will be the first casualty of the new strategy.Fukui said Honda must focus all its resources on hybrid technology, saying it was 'the most realistic path for CO2 reduction at this moment'.He also announced that further development work on the Ferrari and Porsche-rivalling NSX would stop with immediate effect.

The V10-engined supercar would have been the most powerful production car that Honda had ever produced, and was due to go on sale in 2010.The original NSX became a supercar icon after being developed by triple Formula One world champion Ayrton Senna.
