Well, you can still own a cool Honda car nowadays that isn't as same vibe as family car as the Honda City, or as pricey as the new Civic. I'm sure, you have heard of the

The Hyundai Eon was ultimately pulled out of production for not meeting safety-emission regulations, much to the disappointment of the fun-loving folks out there who came to regard the uncomplicated "driving-aesthetics" of the aforementioned, er, small car. It's therefore not surprising that the sudden announcement of this car's disappearance from the spotlight had sparked a plethora of raw opinions that range from the nonsensical to the absurd, as the intriguing nature of the said incident woul
