Upon realizing recently that everyone around here has all the fun while I’m stuck doing insane management tasks, I decided to have some fun myself. My companion for the weekend is a 2018 Honda Civic Type R. Ask me what you want to know about it?
Honda, which you probably know as a car company, actually makes a ton of stuff that Aren’t Cars. One of those things is a private jet, which Honda has helpfully called a HondaJet. And I’m about to go for a ride.
Just as Honda teased with concepts last year, all-new Monkey and Super Cub bikes will be returning to the U.S. starting next year, and they look incredible.
I am not a person who goes looking for strange and interesting aftermarket wheels online, so it came as a shock to me when I first laid eyes on these Mugen MD-Fs, the most unexpected tuner car wheels I had ever seen.
Low-mileage examples aren’t that unusual on car auction website and perennial Jalopnik staff time-waster Bring A Trailer. It’s pretty typical for you to see some mid-2000s Mercedes with 45,000 miles pop up on the front page. But this 1975 Honda Civic is truly something else.
Yesterday was a special day because yesterday, we learned about the amazing Honda Civic Type R pickup truck. Is this the truck that could save the world? All signs point to yes! Let’s take a closer look.
Strangely, Honda just debuted the Honda Civic Type R Pickup Truck concept, a clearly one-off, hacked-away version of its Big Wing-Having, 316 horsepower, front-wheel drive rocket. Now it has a practical bed for storing boxes of overnighted parts from Japan. The vehicle is pretty pointless, and by “pretty pointless,” I…
There are many types of motorcycles and most are optimized for a specific style of riding. But as far as I’m concerned, a street legal dirt bike is the galaxy-brain solution and so the 2019 Honda CRF450L, with its LED turn signals and big-displacement single-cylinder engine, is about to become the ultimate two-wheeler.
I don’t have all the answers. Never pretended to. But I thought I mostly had things figured out, you know? Like I had a pretty good grip on things, knew how to handle myself and get around. But I don’t recognize reality anymore. Not when a late 1990s Honda Civic Si can sell for as much as a new one, or an Acura…
Good morning! Welcome to The Morning Shift, your roundup of the auto news you crave, all in one place every weekday morning. Here are the important stories you need to know.
Questionable aesthetics aside, the Honda Civic Type R is a fantastic driving machine that earned its famed red badges. The 2018.5 model gets a $600 price bump while remaining exactly the same. It could even potentially be a good thing for buyers if it brings those crazy markups down.
Here’s the rare 2.0-liter turbo V6 Honda Legend from the late 1980s, doing cool Honda Legend things.
Say you want a car and you want a motorcycle, but you can only get one because Reasons. So what do you do? At first, you think you’re stuck, but then you realize that you are not, because you could just buy this 1985 Honda City R and Motocompo, in which you get both a car and a bike.
I used to love building models as a kid. And even though I’m a semi-adult now, that love hasn’t gone away. This little wooden model Honda Motocompo is the latest one that’s captured my attention.
I got quite a bit of my love of cars from my father, but the people his age that I knew never seemed to understand why I loved Toyota Supras, Mazda rotary engines and various examples of how Nissan used to give a damn. But the people who did grow up appreciating these kinds of cars are now after them in a big way, and…
I was so overwhelmed by the presence of this Montana sky blue 2009 Honda S2000 CR that I first fixated on an oddly trivial aspect—“Is that a yellow trimmed interior?” Yes, and there are a few other details that make this special version of Honda’s roadster pop. But when you’re driving it, it’s still all about the…
Every so often American car enthusiasts mourn that we can’t buy some sort of high-priced European sports wagon or weird offroader. These are fair complaints. But they do not pain me deeply in my heart, not in the way that I yearn for the 1998-2002 Honda Z, the weirdest Honda you’ve never heard of, a midengine economy…
The fifth and final Honda Prelude was objectively the best, and this particular 1999 Honda Prelude Type SH with less than 400 miles on its odometer is inarguably the finest left. Its simple design has aged gracefully, and the driving experience makes you realize what cars have lost in the last two decades.
People seem to understand that the 1999 (and 2000) Honda Civic Si is special. In the rare instance that a clean one pops up for sale, these 20-year-old economy cars can sell for close to the cost of a 2017 Honda Civic Si. We drove the nicest ’99 Si left on Earth to find out if it’s really worth the hype.
It’s no secret that we love the new Honda Civic Type R around these parts, but the current Civic sure has grown big. What we need is a return to basics, with go-fast bits on a small, chuckable car. We need the Small RS Concept.
