Honda fanboys need to put down their energy drinks and take a big step back, because all of their bitching about the all-new Honda Civic Si being a disappointment is about as off-base as it gets.

Minivans get a bad rap. Sure they aren’t that fast, and they aren’t that sexy but if you need to move a lot of people or stuff in comfort, they are fantastic. Honda has launched its new 2018 Odyssey van and it gets a modest price increase of just $100 for the base model.

It’s official folks, Honda has announced that the all-new Civic Type R is now the world’s fastest front-wheel-drive (FWD) production car. On April 3rd, 2017 the new Type R lapped the 12.9-mile loop in a record 7 minutes, 43.80 seconds, in the process setting the fastest FWD lap time in history, crushing the old record by over 3 seconds.

Honda isn’t waiting until a big automotive convention to show fans of the Civic Si what it’s cooking up for this model year. The 2017 Civic Si will debut on YouTube this Thursday, April 6 at 8am PDT.

The coolest car that Honda has rolled out under its own name in a long time is the new Civic Type R, and unless you live in a cave somewhere, you know that this Type R is actually coming to the US.

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.
