Opinion: First Drive: 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour

03 Nov 2009 08:11:00 PST

Honda seems to have the crossover market pretty well covered with the compact CR-V and the eight-seat Pilot, yet the company sees room for one more. The Honda Accord Crosstour looks to slot in between the two in terms of functionality, yet will stand at the top from a pricing perspective. By p...

Opinion: 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour to start at $29,670

2010 Ford Fusion Review - A nice sedan at a nice price

29 Oct 2009 10:16:03 PDT

Written by sirkrameroy
Trivia question: Which manufacturer produced the best-selling car in America 15 years ago? If you’re thinking Honda or Toyota, guess again. Although it seems hard to believe, given the recent collapse of the US auto industry, in 1994 the Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable reigned supreme, pr...

Opinion: Cars Coming Soon -> Should We Look to Tokyo?

22 Oct 2009 04:00:19 PDT

Written by tgriffith
The Tokyo Motor Show is underway right now. Normally when a major international car show is happening, I’m overwhelmed with news of what hot new cars might make it to the U.S. soon. This time, the news is a bit… underwhelming. First, Honda is showing a concept called the Skydeck. While there are n...

Written by tonyb
More concept news from the Tokyo Motor Show, this time in the guise of a Honda electric vehicle with a decidedly retro flavor. It bares more than a passing resemblance to the Honda N360 and N600 kei cars, only updated, modernized and with an electric drivetrain. In addition to being an EV, the...

Written by Wes Siler
Ford's Fusion hybrid delivers a spacious, technologically-advanced car asking you to make no sacrifices to achieve similar fuel economy to the Insight. Well, except the price, which is understandably a bit more than its no-batteries brethren. The most complete hybrid we'd driven, wel...

Opinion: Jeremy Clarkson calls Honda Insight "Biblically terrible"

18 May 2009 09:26:00 PDT

Written by Chris Shunk
Though the Honda Insight has been in the public eye for less than a year, the inexpensive hybrid has already attracted its fair share of attention. The Insight is seen as the big competitor to the Toyota Prius, and the five-door has been viewed by many as a step toward making the world a more ec...

Opinion: New Prius Vs. Fusion Hybrid Vs. Honda Insight: Which Hybrid Should You Buy?

26 Mar 2009 21:00:00 PDT

Written by Wes Siler
Fuel Economy: Adjusted for the new EPA standards, we're amazed that the 19-year old Geo Metro XFI turns in better highway fuel economy than any of the hybrids. Predictably, the Toyota Prius, with its stop/start engine and large battery pack manages to best it in the city cycle, but neither...

Opinion: 2009 Acura TSX, Part Two

10 Feb 2009 10:00:00 PST

Written by Matt Hardigree
Climbing into the little Acura, I was sad to see the automatic transmission but pleased to see paddle shifters on the steering wheel laid out in a common sense way and in an easy-to-find place. Too bad they connect to a tragically underwhelming transmission geared for economy and not respo...

2009 Honda Fit Sport, Part Two [Jalopnik Reviews]

29 Jan 2009 12:00:00 PST

Written by Wes Siler
Initially a little soft for our tastes, the Fit is actually extremely capable, communicative and rewarding. Sure it’s a front wheel drive economy car, but the fundamental rightness of the Fit’s chassis elevates it above most cars on the road, not just its category.

Opinion: 2008 Honda Accord Coupe, Part Two
