-The Beat became the last car to be approved by Soichiro Honda before he died in 1992.
-The design of the car originated from Pininfarina, who then sold the design plan to Honda, and then in turn sold it on MG Rover who then used it to build the MG F.
-The Beat has lettering running down the sides proclaiming "Midship Amusement", a rather "Engrish" phrase referring to the fun handling of mid-engined cars.
I saw a couple of those when I lived in Japan back in 1994. As I recall they weren't very fast but they were supposedly fun to drive. I recall seeing one young man just hauling ass in a bright red one in and out of traffic outside of Roppongi (sp?). Neat car, IMO.
