Fit's grandfather?
Below is the first cars sold by Honda in the US - 1969 N600 sedan
Retail price - $1275
Honda had been selling motorcycles for a decade by 1969 so it took a while to catch on...that is, buying a Honda that had more than two wheels.

Which is why my parents used to say Honda-car when I was growing up. Honda used to be only known for motorcycles. How times have changes...

Austin Mini knockoff. Not bad cars but OMG do they seem small on today's roads
Our small cars have simply gotten bigger with each new model, and now we don't see really small cars around (the notSmart Car excepted). This is the reason we even have the Fit here to drive. The Civic had gotten bigger then the old Accords, and Honda didn't want to downsize them, so they introduced a new model to "fit" the segment where the Civic used to be.

No offense to Leno but that saying has been around for a long long time. I googled and did not come up with an origin, but it's ancient.

One of these days, I will locate the old photo of myself at age 8 (approx) standing next to my older brother's Datsun sports car.
That old Honda in the original post really does look like an old Mini. Very cool!

Back in the mid-80's, I had a 1973 Civic, and NOT with the CVCC engine either. That thing only got about 22 MPG on the interstate, due to being a 4-speed and needing another cog or two. It was fun to drive and easy to park and pretty reliable, even though it was kinda old when I got it. But it wasn't the gas-saver I needed back then. I have rarely missed it.
