Honda

Honda has a massive base of satisfied customers, but on paper there isn’t much about the new Honda Clarity EV that will appeal to even the most dedicated Honda fanboy. Of most import is that it turns out it only has a driving range of only 80 miles.

Honda has announced that it will have a “close to production” model of the sweet new Civic Type-R on hand the Geneva Auto Show. At the show last year Honda showed off a prototype of the car.

A patent application was recently filed by Honda, and it is for something that makes me really excited. The patent drawings show a minimalist mid-engine sports car that reminds me a lot of an Arial Atom.

GM and Honda have announced that their three year partnership is expected to bring affordable hydrogen fuel cell vehicles to market by 2020. The joint venture will now produce next generation fuel cell systems at a GM battery plant near Detroit.

Honda is teasing the all-new 2018 Odyssey minivan ahead of its official debut at the 2017 NAIAS show in January. Honda says that the new van will have a low and wide design and the artist’s rendering looks like it.

When you redesign a top-selling vehicle, you’re taking a big chance. Honda is a company not known as a risk taker. So, while it has long been planned to update and redo the Honda CR-V for 2017, it’s still a big risk for Honda.

The late great Arlo Guthrie’s classic song Alice’s Restaurant had the chorus of “You can get anything you want.” And perhaps the same applies to the new Honda Civic. Honda has made the Civic available as a sedan, a coupe, and now a hatchback.

Finally, after years and years of waiting, the United States is going to have the option to purchase the Honda Civic Type-R hatchback! Rejoice! Based on the concept that is making it’s U.S. appearance at the SEMA show this week, it looks the business as well.

Honda has rolled out its all-new 2017 CR-V, and the compact SUV looks much more sophisticated than previous generations. It also has more rear seat leg room, more cargo space and class-leading fuel economy. Exactly how fuel efficient the CR-V is we don’t know.

Is the 2017 Honda Ridgeline, the company’s second-generation attempt at building a truck, a proper midsize pickup truck or not? Many die-hard truckers don’t think so, but there is one thing undeniable that truck people and non-truck people can agree on is that it’s a heck of a utility vehicle.

The Accord Hybrid is back, and better than ever. To account for a change in production, the best-selling sedan in America didn’t come as a hybrid last year. This Accord is now produced overseas in Japan rather than Ohio like all the other Accords.

Normally when someone talks to me about a Honda, I lose interest immediately because with the exception of the Acura-branded NSX, Honda has nothing at all of interest to the average auto enthusiast. That is unless you are into cars that start out really slow and boring that you can modify, like a stock Civic.

If you’re on the lookout for a fun to drive car with a decent amount of power and a manual gear box, the new 2017 Honda Civic Hatch might be just the ticket. The car will be very affordable, starting at $19,700 with a manual transmission.

Small trucks are trendy again. So it’s not surprising that Honda brought back the Ridgeline after a two-year hiatus. The Ridgeline has always been the outcast of the truck world. It never quite fit in with its weird design, car-like performance, and well-mannered nature.

Apparently, Honda is doing one better than the 10-speed transmissions that are coming to new vehicles, as a recent Japanese patent application detailed an 11-speed transmission the company is working on. The application outlines a three clutch, 11-speed transmission that sounds more like it is aiming at fuel economy than performance.
