Its launch was followed by the GL and the three-door series a couple of months later. Its two-box style with an FF mechanism, emphasizing a car's function and usability, has been highly rated internationally. It became a global model sold in more than 160 countries, with the highest cumulative global production of any single Honda model (Honda's figures). The eighth generation went on sale as a midsize sedan for a new era.
