Great little cars. That dash-mounted shifter is an absolute peach.
I worked at a Honda dealership in 2003. That particular colour was polarizing. People either loved the uniqueness of it, or disliked it because it resembles baby poo. We had one on our lot for over a year before a salesman bought it, at a substantial dis… Read more

The 02 Si was my first new car- it was barely faster than a stock EX Civic from that same era. To prove its UK pedigree, some dash light bulbs burnt out within the first three years. The FM antenna looked cool, so someone stole mine. When I went to replace it, the dealership said it was an Acura part and cost $50, but… Read more

We didn’t get the CTR because Honda was jealous that it would steal sales from the RSX Type-S. The Si we did get was like the RSX base model, though. Read more

This is my favorite Si by far. IMO, Civics in general really went downhill after this. Read more

The idea of only paying for heating seats in the winter sounds great, but automakers aren’t doing this crap because it’s in their customers best interests.

On-demand heated seats sound insane until you think about it. Today that feature is baked into any number of packages that include a ton of shit you may not need. Let’s say that package costs $2K. Let’s also say that on-demand heated seats cost $1/day. Let’s also assume you use the heat 200 days out of the year (on… Read more

The official Nürburgring instagram posted this today.

What corner? The entire thing should be renamed! I can’t write anything or think about her without crying a little. She wasn’t just a motorsports icon but royalty!! Read more

either Schwedenkreuz or Fuchsröhre — or both — should be named to honor Sabine in some way Read more

I’m hoping one day we will test drive cars like we are in The Matrix.

I miss my 2000 Celica GT-S. The cockpit vibes along with the uber-comfortable seats were just perfect for me at the time. Read more

I’m going to guess Ford did what Sony did. You see, Sony isn’t someone’s name or for that matter, anybody’s (animals included) name. It was conceived after researching the two syllables that almost everyone on the planet could pronounce, “so” and “nee”. Imagine trying to say “F-150" in Spanish: “Effe,…

Nothing intelligent or funny to contribute. Just wanted to say: Awesome article. Read more

I want someone to port over cars from Interstate 76. Best way of gettin’ rid of all that pesky track traffic ahead a ya...

It’s one of my favorite cars that I’ve ever driven. Had a chance to rent one for a few days in Japan. I wanted to hide it in my luggage for the flight home.

Motorola “collaborated” with Apple on a phone. Motorola ended up releasing a clunky phone that happened to run iTunes, and was limited on storage so as not to compete with iPod. Apple then made the first iPhone (presumably learning some things from that collaboration) and proceeded to eat Moto’s and everyone else’s lun… Read more

Isn’t Apple sitting on enough cash to basically buy any two automakers if it really wanted to? Read more
