The Japanese people from Honda unveiled a new concept model at the Tokyo Motor Show this week. We talk about the N Concept 4 prototype, a vehicle which will enter production somewhere next year. Few years back, Honda also introduced the EV-N study, the N Concept 4 being the next model in the series. Sho Minekawa, CEO at Honda Regional...
Due to appear in 2013, 2014 or having already been released in a different dimension, a new version of the Honda NSX is bound to catch the attention of enthusiasts. There's various reasons for this happening and most of them have a lot to do with how the first generation of the NSX was a great car yet still felt...
As the Tokyo Motor Show opens up its gates, the Japanese have already started showing us what the technologically obsessed folk can do. First up the Honda EV-STER Concept got its first unveiling and it is a stunning EV, one that's very desirable, perhaps more than the Tesla Model S. Unlike the American roadster, the Honda EV-STER is a very...
You might remember the Mugen CR-Z RR Study revealed by the Japanese company at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this year. If you do, we have to tell you that Honda decided to give the green light to the model renaming it CR-Z iCF. Of course, the concept suffered few modifications but it is still good to see prototypes which...
Not that long after unveiling the regular version of the Honda Fit, the Japanese have come to LA with a special version of the little hatchback. As often the the way nowadays, the special version of the hatchback, is electric and entitled the 2013 Honda fit EV. Adding in the final bonus sees the Los Angeles Motor Show fill is...
Out in the U.S. Honda's Civic didn't receive too much of an update for 2012 and the mild facelift it got didn't bring joy to that many customers or attract any new ones to dealers. The Japanese took notice and promised some swift recovery action as they've pushed forward the new release date of the new facelift or version they...
The Japanese tend to be known as very efficient people and their cars are equally so and reliable as well. The 2012 Honda Civic however has let down the mark a bit. This is because it's going to be delayed for a while, admittedly, due to circumstances beyond Honda's control, the catastrophic floods in Thailand. At this point I should...
Honda decided to reveal the 2012 model year Ridgeline, a pickup truck which receives few minor upgrades for the coming year. From the beginning we have to say that there are no improvements to the engine range as the Japanese model is powered by the same 3.5-liter V6 unit delivering 250 horsepower. According to Honda, thanks to the aerodynamic improvements...
The Honda Civic may be a small hatchback, a cheap, reliable product but it is also the Japanese company's bread winner. Naturally, a car of this significance generally gets extra attention from its manufacturer so even though the following announcement is a surprise it makes perfect sense. After receiving some criticism on their 2012 model year Civic the management at...
Honda's new product excitement has gone away from some time now and while they're trying to get it back, the Japanese aren't exactly on the best of tracks. In actual news: After some disinterested rumors and leaks, they've finally unveiled some actual photos containing the production model of the 2012 Honda CR-V. Though i'd love to say it looks incredible,...
The 2012 model year Honda Insight Hybrid has been revealed at the recent Frankfurt Motor Show but it will reach the U.S. dealerships in the following weeks. In this situation, the Japanese company revealed the specification sheet of the revised model for the American market. At the exterior, the 2012 Insight Hybrid benefits from revised front and rear bumpers, new...
Even the new Honda Civic debuted recently at the Frankfurt Motor Show, the Japanese company wants to show that the new Civic is a very safe car by publishing a video demonstration. The crash tests were conducted by the Japanese engineers of the company at their high-tech facility in Tochigi, Japan. We are used to see each month new crash...
Honda Civic is certainly a long-history model as the first generation of the subcompact car entered the market in 1972 being sold as a 1973 model. The Japanese model replaced the Honda N360 and was offered in five body styles, namely two-door coupe, three-door hatchback, four-door sedan but also five-door hatchback and station wagon. Under the bonnet, power was delivered...

The entry-level Civic is powered by a 1.4-liter petrol unit able to offer 100 horsepower while for extra £1,500 you can get the more powerful 1.8-liter engine with 140 horsepower. There is also a diesel...
Ah, the Honda Accord, something almost nobody recalls as being anything other than a "very average car" actually has more of a story to tell than that. Since the early versions, even the Japanese realized that the Honda Civic was a tad on the small side and that there was a need for a slightly larger car. That's how the...
The Honda S2000 is a Japanese car built in the same sort of passionate and enthusiastic way as the company's founder started the entire business and engineering himself since it was built as a celebration of half a decade of tradition in roadsters. Back in the 1960s Honda's roadsters had small engines, not very far away from the powerplants Soichiro...
Call me Captain Obvious but I'm starting to think that manufacturers have taken a bit of a liking to previewing their new car courtesy of this unpleasant method. It's either that or the authorities that manage design patents and such have gotten some seriously passionate people hired recently and they've been leaking new cars to us. The latest in a...
We've got some unpleasant news for all the people driving certain Honda models as the Japanese manufacturer released information on three recalls for certain models. To begin with, the Honda Fit/Jazz built between 2005 and 2009 will be affected by this recall, around 960,000 of them to be more precise. Most of the models were sold in China and surrounding...
Of all the things that have been going on this year it seems like there's very little going on other than small and modest updates being done to almost new cars. Another one in this range of not very challenging facelifts comes from Honda and it regards the 2012 version of the Pilot, their shapely looking big SUV. The Big...
In a bit of a leap of faith Honda's preparation for the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show implies a mild facelift to their Insight hybrid. Under the 2012 modelyear, Honda's Insight doesn't get much of a considerable appearance change but there's a vital swap (in Europe at least) in its stats. The emissions now fall to 96 grams of CO2 per...
