Quick Spin: 2019 Honda Passport

comments
For automakers, SUVs are now their livelihoods. For many of them, their SUV offerings go way beyond just small, medium, and large. There are now tiny versions, sporty versions, “coupe” versions, and super large versions. There seems to be an endless fight to the bottom to find yet another niche in this crowded market for…

First Drive: Honda Talon 1000R and 1000X

comments
The UTV world is blowing up. Multi-purpose units are sales kings, but the sports segment is rapidly becoming more crowded. Honda has waded into the fray with its new Honda Talon two-passenger sport SxS. There are two options here; the 1000R and the 1000X. Both are powered by the same 999-cc inline-twin, which makes 104…

Passport To Moab: First Drive 2019 Honda Passport

I love the Mountain West portion of the United States. It is hardcoded into my brain from a trip I took with my father and stepmother in the summer before I turned seven. We did Mount Rushmore, the Badlands, the Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, and Pikes Peak over a two week period. While sunshine, warm weather,…

Review: 2018 Honda Accord 2.0T Touring
/
/
comments
Could an enthusiast enjoy a Honda Accord? After all, it is the antithesis of everything that most enthusiasts want – a front-wheel-drive mid-size sedan. And now, the all-new 2018 model is further neutered because the V6 engine was dropped, leaving it with a choice of two four-cylinder engines. Yawn, snore, wake me up when the…

2018 Honda Accord Sport 2.0T 6MT – The Civil Type R?
/
/
comments
In the new Accord Sport, Honda has crafted a winning combination of family sedan and sporty-ish driving experience. If you’re the kind of person who purchased a Civic Si in 2000 to have a reliably raucous rev-happy fun car for the street, you’ve likely grown up a bit in the ensuing 17 years and need…

Death Valley Torture Test: Three New Pickups, Shocking Failures

Dan Edmunds, who coincidentally works at Edmunds.com but has no other relation to the company that happens to have the same name, to me one is of most interesting automotive experts in the industry. His approach to discussing how things, especially suspension things, work is much more detail orientated than anyone else. Some years ago…

First Drive: 2017 Honda Civic Si

comments
A new Honda Civic means we have a new Honda Civic Si. This is the all-new 2017 Honda Civic Si, and it’s a relatively affordable performer available in both coupe and sedan body styles. Honda invited us out to its recently renovated proving grounds in the Mojave desert to see how the latest Si stacks…

Review: 2017 Honda CR-V Touring AWD

comments
This is the all-new fifth generation 2017 Honda CR-V. Yes, it is all-new, as per Honda, but you wouldn’t necessarily know this by looking at it. In my eyes it simply looks too similar to the 2016 model to be called all-new, but it is. One would know that this is an all-new vehicle by simply driving it.…

Review: 2016 Honda Civic Type-R Part II. On Track- Scream If You Want To Go Faster

comments
It was on the Slovakiaring in 2013 that Honda had a monopoly on the podium during race one and went on to win the WTCC championship after their first full season. So it’s no coincidence that this was the venue chosen to showcase just what the new, feverishly anticipated Civic Type-R was capable of. This…

2015 Honda NC700X: Think Urban Jungle, Not Actual Jungle
/
/
comments
[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9hzPsNmsQQ[/youtube] Honda wants to position the 2015 NC700X as a dual-sport machine. That’s a bit generous, as I found out after spending a bit of time with the machine. It’s less real-jungle-ready, but quite primed to tackle the urban jungle. It’s not cheap though. This bike is packing a dual-clutch gearbox, ABS, and more storage than…
