Background

The Honda Orthia is a compact station wagon manufactured by Honda exclusively for the Japanese market between 1996 and 2002. Based on the sixth generation Civic chassis, it was introduced in February 1996 as what Honda called a "Sport Utility Wagon" and initially sold at both Honda Verno and Honda Primo dealerships. The name "orthia", a variation of the Greek word orithyia, comes from Artemis Orthia in Greek mythology.
