¨CR-Z

‘CR-Z’ stands for ‘Compact Renaissance Zero’—an expression intended to capture the idea of a renaissance in the design of compact cars that begins anew from fundamentals.

This design research model of a lightweight hybrid sports car features advanced technologies that deliver enjoyable driving for all while reducing the vehicle’s environmental footprint.

Designed to be ‘Futuristic and Dynamic’, the CR-Z combines powerful performance in a compact form with a futuristic image. For its frontal view, an over-sized grill with a high-performance look is offset by openings on each side that lighten the overall feel. In the rear, tube-shaped rear combination lamps ensure better rearward visibility. Design details emphasizing the CR-Z’s advanced image include door mirrors that provide high visibility in a stylish form, LED headlights patterned after luminous bodies to convey a sharp impression, and jaunty fin-shaped sub-lights. Large, 19-inch wheels are ready for dynamic driving performance.

The key words for the CR-Z’s interior design are ‘Hi-tech and Sporty’. The goal was to create an all-new sporty interior that fuses the liberating feel of airy spaciousness with an advanced interface that brings out the fun of the drive. Mesh material on a simple framework construction is used throughout the interior to convey a light, sophisticated image without being oppressive. In the cockpit, the meter unit conveys the image of advanced technology ensconced in a piece of glass artwork, offering the functionality of immediate recognition while enhancing the driving experience with a futuristic and exhilarating feeling.

¨PUYO

‘PUYO’ is a Japanese onomatopoeia that expresses the sensation of touching the vehicle’s soft body. It is meant to convey a warm, friendly impression.

The PUYO represents a new idea in mobility that brings together ‘clean’, ‘safe’ and ‘fun’ functionality in an environmentally responsible, people-friendly minimalist design featuring an ultra-high efficiency, small frame and fuel cell technology to please both users and onlookers alike.

The development theme for the PUYO exterior was to create a cornerless, ‘Seamless Soft Box’ form that is kind to both people and the environment. The goal was to create a personable design with the feel of an adorable pet, while taking advantage of the maximum spaciousness of the box-shaped design. The PUYO’s ‘gel body’ features soft materials to promote greater real-world safety. Moreover, the body has been made luminescent to guide people into the proper operating position and notify them of the vehicle’s condition, facilitating a more intimate relationship between people and their cars.

Developed to have a ‘Silky Feel’, the PUYO’s interior is designed to provide a refreshing, people-friendly space imbued with a feeling of transparency. Features such as an instrument panel monitor, controls that take advantage of the elastic qualities of cloth to rise up when the vehicle starts up, luminous fluid meter displays, and a joystick for intuitive operation are all designed to gently support occupants’ senses and sensibilities.

The overall length has been increased 55 mm*⁷ to 3,900 mm and the width 20 mm*⁷ to 1,695 mm, while the 1,525 mm*⁷ height remains the same as the previous model, allowing for use of tower parking.

While the wheelbase has been increased 50 mm*⁷ to 2,500 mm, the tread size has also been increased to help optimize the steering angle and maintain the minimum turning radius of the previous model at 4.7 meters.

An emergency tire repair kit is provided instead of a spare tire, freeing up 64 liter*⁸ of storage space beneath the floor. Combined with the space in the luggage room this brings the total available luggage space to an amazing 427 liter*⁸.

The rear hatch opening is located 605 mm from the ground, making it easy to load and unload luggage. The rear doors also open to a wide 80° angle, providing even easier access for passengers and facilitating loading and unloading of luggage.

*⁷	Honda calculations; compared to the previous model

*⁸	Honda calculations in accordance with the VDA method

•Interior

The cabin features an ingenious layout with equivalent space as one of Honda’s middle-class sedans, providing passengers a natural feeling of comfort.

The large three-meter cluster provides superior visibility with permanent illumination. The speedometer, located in the center of the cluster, features a large LED display providing of a broad range of information, including current fuel economy and range indications.

To ensure a comfortable driving position for all drivers, a tilt and telescopic steering column*⁹ as well as a ratchet-operated seat height adjuster^*¹⁰ have been applied.

The front quarter windows are three times*¹¹ of the size of those in the previous model, and the width of the front pillar has been reduced by 20 mm^*¹¹ to provide enhanced visibility. A new Sky Roof provides even more sense of space and comfort in the cabin. The power sun shield can be opened and closed with the touch of a switch for a comfortable cabin all year round.

The front seat is based on the seat frame of a middle-class sedan and fitted with springs and padding optimized for seat hold and ride comfort. The rear seats are 20 mm wider*¹¹, 15 mm deeper*¹¹, and have cushions 10 mm thicker*¹¹ for enhanced ride comfort. The left and right headrests fit into the seat back for easy seat arrangement and 30%*¹¹ better rearward visibilities.

•Utility


The four modes of “Ultra Seat” provide enhanced utility.
Utility mode:		Easy one-motion dive down and release operation of the rear seats. The luggage space can be extended to a maximum length of 1,720 mm*¹² thanks to the spacious full-flat floor.
Long mode:		In Utility mode, place the passenger seat in the full reclining position to create a space up to 2,400 mm long to carry long objects.
Tall mode:		Fold up the rear seat cushions to take advantage of Fit’s 1,280 mm roof height—the perfect way to make space for tall items like house plants.
Refresh mode:		Remove the front seat headrests and put the front seats in full reclining position to stretch out across the front and rear seats for a rest.


The three “Ultra Luggage” modes provide added practicality to Fit’s cargo space.
Upper/Lower mode:		Lift the flexible luggage board from the floor to separate the luggage space into upper and lower partitions. The net used to create the upper space is perfect for carrying irregularly shaped objects that won’t sit flat.
Tall mode:		Open the flexible luggage board to create enough space to load tall objects.
Regular mode:		The under floor space is perfect for storing sports gear or raincoats and umbrellas. And once the lid is on, you won’t have to worry about soiling your other luggage.

The Fit interior is replete with practical utility, starting with 10 cup-holders and a wide range of easy-to-use storage spaces.

A Honda HDD InterNavi*¹³ navigation system equipped with a 7-inch wide display and a 40GB hard disk is available as a factory option. And with the new Fit Honda introduces two new services to enhance the driving experience of members of the InterNavi Premium Club: New Road Data and Earthquake Information System.

•Powertrain

The new Fit comes with either of two new engines: a 1.3 liter i-VTEC or a 1.5 liter i-VTEC. In addition to the superior low-rpm torque of its predecessors, the new 1.3l i-VTEC brings more power to the high rpm range and delivers enhanced fuel economy in everyday driving. The new four-valve configuration with enhanced intake performance and drive-by-wire technology combine to help achieve a power rating of 73 kW(100PS). The use of only one of the two intake valves at low rpm increases EGR efficiency, helping the Fit achieve a class-leading*¹⁴ 24 km per liter*¹⁵ fuel economy.

The new 1.5 liter i-VTEC delivers superior fuel economy combined with lively dynamic performance and plentiful torque throughout all speed ranges. Intake valve timing and clearance settings switch to match for low- and high-speed driving and optimized valve overlap in the low-, mid-, and high speed ranges enhances intake and exhaust efficiency for power output of 88 kW(120PS) and superior fuel economy of 19.6 km per liter*¹⁶.

The Fit’s continuous variable transmission delivers enhanced drive and off-the-line acceleration thanks to the implementation of a new torque converter. Higher gear ratios also help improve fuel economy by keeping rpms low during cruising. The low-friction, high-efficiency oil pump and pulleys as well as a new creep control system provide optimized creep control at low speeds and during idling for improved fuel economy.

*¹⁴	1.3 liter class

*¹⁵	Calculations for Type G (FF) Fit, based on results of 10-15 mode fuel efficiency testing by Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

*¹⁶	Calculations for Type RS (FF w/CVT) Fit, based on results of 10-15 mode fuel efficiency testing by Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

• Body

Body construction and design have been ingeniously modified to improve body rigidity and crash safety performance even while maintaining the same weight as the previous model. Noise and vibration during idling as well as booming noise while cruising are quieter than ever thanks to highly efficient connections of structural members and enhanced body stiffness.

The implementation of sound-absorbing acoustic materials in the roof, carpet, and dashboard insulation contribute both to greater quietness and to lower weight. The RS Type is equipped with special damping and acoustic materials to achieve quietness expected of more expensive vehicles.

•Chassis

The newly designed chassis realizes both superior ride comfort and steady handling. The rigid body and supple suspension provide an exceptional dynamic performance.

The new Fit features a McPherson strut front suspension.

The H-shaped torsion beam rear suspension achieves the maximum possible space for the rear seats and cargo area as well as supple ride comfort and steady handling.

The new electric power steering has more capacity than the previous model, and improvements to steering gear box rigidity and attachment points provide a more direct steering feel.

- 5 -

•Safety Performance

The RS Type comes with Honda’s vehicle stability assist (VSA) system, which is the first implementation of VSA with a manual transmission vehicle in this class*¹⁷. In addition, engine torque control and DBW throttle control enable precise control of the vehicle in driving.

A side curtain air bag system function with the front seat i-side air bag system to provide added protection against head injuries during side collisions. Honda’s Advanced Compatibility Engineering Body provides enhanced self-protection and better compatibility in collisions with other vehicles. Honda pedestrian-injury reduction body design helps protect pedestrians from injury in the event of a collision.

All Fit models are equipped with an electronic brake distribution ABS system plus brake assist functionality as standard equipment. In addition to an ISO FIX child seat bar, tether anchors are provided in both the left and right rear seats as standard equipment.

*¹⁷	Both 1.3 liter and 1.5 liter classes

•Environmental Performance

HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD. REPORTS

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS

FOR THE FISCAL SECOND QUARTER AND

THE FIRST HALF ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007

Tokyo, October 25, 2007— Honda Motor Co., Ltd. today announced its consolidated financial results for the fiscal second quarter and the fiscal first half ended September 30, 2007.

Second Quarter Results

Honda’s consolidated net income for the fiscal second quarter ended September 30, 2007 totaled JPY 208.4 billion (USD 1,806 million), an increase of 63.0% from the same period in 2006. Basic net income per Common share for the quarter amounted to JPY 114.94 (USD 1.00), an increase of JPY 44.89 from JPY 70.05 for the corresponding period in 2006. One Honda’s American Depository Share represents one Common Share.

Consolidated net sales and other operating revenue (herein referred to as “revenue”) for the quarter amounted to JPY 2,971.3 billion (USD 25,742 million), an increase of 12.9% from the same period in 2006. Honda estimates that if calculated at the same exchange rate as the same period in 2006, revenue for the quarter would have increased by approximately 7.9%.

Consolidated operating income for the quarter totaled JPY 286.3 billion (USD 2,481 million), an increase of 48.3% compared to the same period in 2006. This increase in operating income was primarily due to the increased profit attributable to higher revenue, continuing cost reduction efforts and the positive impact of the currency effects caused by the depreciation of the Japanese yen which offset the negative impact of increased raw material costs and the increased depreciation expenses, SG&A expenses and R&D expenses.

Consolidated income before income taxes, minority interest and equity in income of affiliates for the quarter totaled JPY 269.9 billion (USD 2,339 million), an increase of 65.0% from the same period in 2006.

Equity in income of affiliates amounted to JPY 26.2 billion (USD 227 million) for the quarter, a decrease of 4.4% from the same period in 2006.

Overseas unit sales was 2,226 thousand units, a decrease of 18.1% from the same period in 2006*, due mainly to the decreased unit sales of parts for local production at Honda’s affiliates accounted for under the equity method in Asia, more than offsetting an increase in unit sales in other regions especially in Latin America. Revenue from external customers increased 13.8%, to JPY 381.6 billion (USD 3,306 million) from the same period in 2006, due mainly to the positive impact of the currency translation effects, offsetting the negative impact of the decreased unit sales. Operating income increased by 15.4% to JPY 37.0 billion (USD 321 million) from the same period in 2006, due mainly to the positive currency effects caused by the depreciation of the Japanese yen, offsetting the negative impact of the increased sales incentives in North America, the increased SG&A expenses and R&D expenses.

Net sales of Honda-brand motorcycle products that are manufactured and sold by overseas affiliates accounted for under the equity method, are not included in net sales and other operating revenue when no parts were supplied by Honda or its subsidiaries, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, these unit sales are not included in the financial results. Sales of such products amounted to approximately 1,020 thousand units for the quarter.

Revenue from external customers in power product and other businesses increased by 1.0% to JPY 99.4 billion (USD 862 million) from the same period in 2006, due mainly to the increased unit sales of power products and the positive impact of the currency translation effects.

Preparing for the Future

A look at the global economy shows there are concerns of a moderate slowdown in the U.S. economy. Europe’s economy is expected to recover steadily, Asian economies are expected to grow steadily, and Japan’s economy is also expected to maintain its moderate economic recovery. However, the global environment in which Honda’s management operates still lacks transparency because of global political and economic uncertainty, fluctuations in oil and raw material prices, and currency, finance and capital markets movements. As a result, the Company expects its operating environment to continue to be severe.

It is under these circumstances that the Company will strengthen its corporate structure quickly and flexibly to meet the requirements of its customers and society and the changes in its business environment. Also, in order to improve the competitiveness of its products, the Company will endeavor to enhance its R&D, production and sales ability. Furthermore, the Company will continue striving to earn even more trust and understanding from society through Companywide activities. The Company recognizes that further enhancing the following specific areas is essential to its success:

1. Research and Development

Along with efforts to develop even more effective safety and environmental technologies, the Company will enhance the creativity in its advanced technology and products, and will create and swiftly introduce new value-added products that meet specific needs in various markets around the world. The Company will also continue efforts in the research of future technologies.

2. Production Efficiency

The Company will establish efficient and flexible production systems and expand production capacity at its global production bases, with the aim of increasing its capability of supplying high-quality products.

3. Sales Efficiency

The Company will continue to make efforts to expand product lines through the innovative use of IT and to upgrade sales and service structure, in order to respond to the various needs of its customers around the world.

- 14 -

4. Product Quality

Responding to increasing customers’ demand, the Company will upgrade its quality control through enhancing the functions of and coordination among the development, purchasing, production, sales and service departments.

5. Safety Technologies

The Company will develop safety technologies for accident prediction and prevention, technologies to reduce injuries to passengers and pedestrians from car accidents, and technologies for reducing aggressivity, as well as expand its line-up of products incorporating such technologies. The Company intends to enhance its contribution to traffic safety in motorized societies both in Japan and in abroad. The Company also intends to remain active in a variety of traffic safety programs, including advanced driving and motorcycling training schemes provided by local dealerships.

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, since the Company has listed its American Depositary Shares on the New York Stock Exchange and files reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The average exchange rates for the three months ended September 30, 2007 were ¥117.87=U.S.$1 and ¥161.88= euro 1. The average exchange rates for the same period last year were ¥116.26=U.S.$1 and ¥148.16= euro 1. The average exchange rates for the fiscal first half ended September 30, 2007 were ¥119.33=U.S.$1 and ¥162.30= euro 1 as compared with ¥115.38=U.S.$1 and ¥145.97= euro 1 for the same period last year.

United States dollar amounts have been translated from yen solely for the convenience of the reader at the rate of ¥115.43=U.S.$1, the mean of the telegraphic transfer selling exchange rate and the telegraphic transfer buying exchange rate prevailing on the Tokyo foreign exchange market on September 28, 2007.

7.	Honda’s common stock-to-ADS exchange ratio is one share of common stock to one ADS.

8.	Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined principally by the first-in, first-out method, or market.

Honda classifies its debt and equity securities in the following categories: available-for-sale, trading, or held-to-maturity. Debt securities that are classified as “held-to-maturity” securities are reported at amortized cost. Debt and equity securities classified as “trading” securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. Other marketable debt and equity securities are classified as “available-for-sale” securities and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses, net of deferred taxes included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the stockholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheets.

10.	Goodwill, all of which is allocated to Honda’s reporting units, is not amortized but instead is tested for impairment at least annually.

11.	Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated principally by the declining-balance method based on estimated useful lives and salvage values of the respective assets.

12.	Honda applies hedge accounting for certain foreign currency forward contracts related to forecasted foreign currency transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries.

13.

The allowance for credit losses is maintained at an amount management deems adequate to cover estimated losses on finance receivables. The allowance is based on management’s evaluation of many factors, including current economic trends, industry experience, inherent risks in the portfolio and the borrower’s ability to pay.

14.

Finance subsidiaries of the Company purchase insurance to cover a substantial amount of the estimated residual value of vehicles leased to customers. The allowance for losses on lease residual values is maintained at an amount management deems adequate to cover estimated losses on the uninsured portion of the vehicles’ lease residual values. The allowance is also based on managements’ evaluation of many factors, including current economic conditions, industry experience and the finance subsidiaries’ historical experience with residual value losses.

- 27 -

15.

Provisions for retirement benefits are provided based on the fair value of both projected benefit obligations and plan assets at the end of the fiscal year to cover for employees’ retirement benefits. The Company recognizes its overfunded or underfunded status for the defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its consolidated balance sheets and recognizes changes in the funded status in accumulated comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes. Net transition obligation has been amortized over approximately 19 years since the fiscal year ended March 31, 1990. Prior service cost (benefit) is amortized by using the straight-line method and the estimated average remaining service years of employees. Actuarial loss is amortized if unrecognized net gain or loss exceeds ten percent of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or the market-related value of plan assets by using the straight-line method and the estimated average remaining service years of employees.

16.

Estimated warranty expenses are provided based on historical warranty claim experience with consideration given to the expected level of future warranty costs as well as current information on repair costs. Included in warranty expenses accruals are costs for general warranties on vehicles Honda sells and product recalls.

Significant Accounting Policy Change

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB No. 108”). SAB No. 108 provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of materiality assessment. SAB No. 108 requires that registrants quantify a current year misstatement using an approach that considers both the impact of prior year misstatements that remain on the balance sheet and those that were recorded in the current year income statement. The Company historically quantified misstatements and assessed materiality based on a current year income statement approach. The transition provisions of SAB No. 108 permit the Company to adjust for the cumulative effect on retained earnings of immaterial errors related to prior years.

The Company adopted SAB No. 108 effective beginning of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, and adjusted the items described below in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of the beginning of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 to correct the prior year misstatements, which were considered to be immaterial to the consolidated statements of income and consolidated balance sheets in prior years under the income statement approach. The net impact of these adjustments decreased the Company’s beginning retained earnings and beginning accumulated other comprehensive loss for 2007 by ¥62,640 million, net of tax effect of ¥31,235 million, and ¥18,149 million, respectively.

The Company adopted the provisions of SAB 108 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. As a result of the adoption, the Company adjusted the beginning retained earnings in the consolidated financial statements for the six months ended September 30, 2006. The impact of misstatements to the consolidated financial statements was immaterial. Accordingly, the Company had not revised the consolidated statement of income and consolidated balance sheet except for beginning retained earnings.

(1) The Company and its certain domestic subsidiaries in Japan historically calculated depreciation of property, plant and equipment, using a salvage value determined as 5% of the acquisition cost. However, since the sales proceeds received for the liquidated assets and their economical value at the end of its useful life historically have been nominal, the Company and its certain domestic subsidiaries assessed the adequacy of the salvage value and concluded that they should have calculated depreciation using the salvage value of ¥1 for its properly, plant and equipment. The Company and its certain domestic subsidiaries recalculated depreciation expenses retrospectively considering the corrected salvage value. The reassessment indicated that an accumulated overstatement of property, plant and equipment in the consolidated financial statements had occurred.

(2) Equity in income of affiliates should be recognized based on affiliates’ consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. However, the Company historically recognized equity in income of affiliates based on the results of operations of the parent-only financial statements of the affiliates, as the Company assessed that the difference between the total amounts of equity in income on the consolidation basis and those on the parent-only basis had been immaterial to the Company’s consolidated financial statements under the income statement approach. This misstatement resulted in an accumulated understatement of equity in income of affiliates and the carrying value of the investments in affiliates in the consolidated financial statements.

(3) The Company reclassified the residual tax effect of minimum pension liabilities included in accumulated other comprehensive income during the year ended March 31, 2006, which related to corporate tax rate changes in the past based on the proportional allocation over the expiration of unrecognized obligation. However, the residual tax effect should have been reclassified only when the pension plan is liquidated or dissolved under the portfolio approach. This misstatement resulted in an understatement of accumulated other comprehensive loss and corresponding overstatement in income tax benefit.

The company adopted the FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” as of April 1, 2007. This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. This Interpretation prescribes a two step process for the recognition and measurement in the financial statement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The adoption of FIN 48 had an immaterial impact on the Company’s financial statements.
