Honda Zest
The Honda Zest is a kei car released in 2006 by Honda. It is mechanically identical to the fifth-generation Honda Life. Equipped with a turbocharged engine, 3 cylinders, and 4 doors, it was the first kei car available with optional side curtain airbags. It was available in two distinct versions — Zest and Zest Sports. During the fall/winter 2008, the Zest Sports was replaced with the Zest Spark. Honda enlisted J-Pop mega-star Ayumi Hamasaki ("Ayu") to promote the Zest Spark with a special (dealer installed) "A Style Package" edition. The Ayu x Zest Spark collaboration replaced the "A" in the Spark logo with Ayu's stylized "A" and also included a dashboard garnish and a revised front grille.
