Very good friend of mine had two.He was a PorschE and T.V.R man but loved the two Hondas. Very nice to drive, handled well and a nice engine although it was a bit different from most sports car engines. It took a little getting used to with the high revs.The engine was said to be the most reliable on the planet at the time. I don't know why they stopped production. I have a feeling they stopped importing before production stopped.
