If you follow the link to the s600 sales brochures, you'll see they include mileage figures per US gallon (vs imperial gallon) have RHD, etc. dbw owned an s800, I believe. However, the honda sports registry has this to say:

The next significant change came in 1968 with the introduction of the S800M version. Aimed at the American market, Honda made changes to include flush door handles, side marker lights, dual circuit brakes, varied taillight configurations to suit different markets, safety glass, leaner carburetion, and more. (They went so far as to show a "USA Model" in the parts catalogues and owner's manuals, but no S800s, or for that matter any S series cars, were ever officially imported into the US for retail distribution.)

so I am officially confused.

They sort of remind me of the old Sunbeam Alpines.

 

For those interested, there is some stuff on eBay re: S500, S600 and S800. For example:
