"After 11 years of absence, the Honda Ballade is back in South Africa. Actually, if we're talking in strict genealogical terms here, the Honda Ballade never actually left us.
Ballade was South Africa's name for the Civic in the days when Mercedes-Benz was assembling them in East London and when Honda entered the country as an independent importer at the turn of the millennium, the Civic simply got its rightful name back."
