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.
Do not forget the air-cooled Honda 1300 Coupe, one of the weirdest, coolest cars the company ever made.
People forget, but there was an Integra Type R sedan! And it was good, from what I hear. Your kids would’ve loved to have been hauled to school in it, screaming with delight as the VTEC kicked in.
Back in the 1980s, Honda Powersports was really pressing its scooters on the US market, and somehow these smaller two-wheelers were actually selling. Perhaps it was because of the musical star power behind their ads, with Grace Jones, Lou Reed, and DEVO starring in the campaign, among others. Or, perhaps it was…
The 306 horsepower Honda Civic Type R was one of the most eagerly anticipated new cars in years. It’s billed as the ultimate front-wheel-drive track weapon, but is it really? This team is building a Type R into a race car to find out.
April Fool’s Day is this weekend, which means that a few automakers will attempt to prank the world with silly jokes and press releases. Normally, I’d ignore such foolishness, but this one from Honda and concerning a fake CR-V Roadster concept really hit me where it hurts.
Seeing a car that once populated my high school parking lot—a 2000 Honda Civic Si—sell for $22,750 is proof that Bring A Trailer is out of control. This is a car that usually fetches sub-five-digit prices, or so I thought. Sure, this one only had 10,439 miles, but it also sold for almost as much as a new Civic Si.
Honda will stop production of the Accord for about two weeks this summer to “focus on aligning production to current market conditions,” a spokesperson told the Wall Street Journal. The current market conditions are that no one wants sedans anymore, not even the really, really good ones. We’re all monsters.
This little front-wheel-drive Honda isn’t the usual fare you’d see at wild burnout competitions, but it’s capable of making an entire yard disappear into thick, smoky burnout-cloud air! Wow!
Ah, here it is at last, the 2019 Honda Insight. And it’s, uh, fine. It’s just fine. The good news is the fuel economy’s super legit.
What do we have to look forward to in our far-flung future year of 2018, besides the sweet release of death? Nothing. To find happiness again I will take you back—back to a time of unbridled optimism, of cheerfully bizarre niche vehicles, of turbocharged world-conquering performance, of gull-winged kei cars. Let us…
Nearly four years ago, Honda’s Mean Mower went an averaged 116.57 mph, setting the record for world’s fastest lawnmower that has since been eclipsed. Now, the company says, they’re trying to reclaim the record, with a beast they’ve dubbed the Mk. 2.
In these dark times, I find it is helpful to submerge myself in a bath of liquid car-nostalgia. I forget my pain and my troubles by going back to an era when people wanted nothing more than two doors, a silky smooth inline-six engine, plush leather seats, and extremely questionable business models. Friend, let’s go…
The Honda Urban EV Concept is like the synthwave aesthetic on wheels. Six months ago it had everyone smitten when it was trotted out at the Frankfurt Motor Show, and this week in Geneva Honda’s confirmed “a production version” is really truly in the pipeline.
Can your Honda Accord go from 0 to 60 mph in 2.7 seconds? Jim Belosic’s can. Belosic turned a car that he bought as a replica of his high school ride into a rear-wheel-drive Gasser-style electric car using drivetrain bits from a Tesla Model S P85. He calls this roughly 536-horsepower frankencar the Teslonda, and…
