FORMULA One star Jenson Button is the first buyer in Europe of Honda Motor's light business jet, the firm said today.
The Honda driver has ordered two twin-engine HondaJets for a new aviation charter business he is starting, the automaker said.

Honda, which has a long held dream of entering general aviation, began advance sales of the jet in the US in 2006 with a $US3.65 million ($3.83million) price tag. It said today it had received more than 100 orders.


I guess the pay isn't so bad at honda <think>

Well, one thing we can say for certain is that a Honda jet costs much less than a Williams contract.

That's really not a bad price for a jet. At least he is being frugal.

Good to see Jensen's thinking about his retirement.

I just hope Honda didn't use the same guy to design the jet who did the RA107!
