Big comparison tests have long been the highlight of a car magazine issue, and they are even better when they include vehicles normal people can actually buy. Not that long ago, a $30K test would not have qualified for that last part, but in a time when the average new car price is nearly $50,000, $30,000 becomes…
Here’s a new, added bonus for those of you out exploring the rugged terrain of Western Nevada in a Honda Trailsport SUV: owners now have access to an interactive app dubbed the Honda Trail Experience (HTX), which helps provide valuable real-time vehicle data that may prove valuable while exploring the back country. The HTX app utilizes Apple CarPlay connectivity…
A funny thing happened when CarBuzz.com recently reviewed the 2026 Honda CR-V model lineup. Instead of discussing the CR-V’s driving behaviors, its generous interior space, advanced available technologies, or even its appearance, they instead honed in on fuel efficiency and operating costs across the entire CR-V model line, including both hybrid and non-hybrid CR-V models. Michael Hohl Honda follows along. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) website lists…
Whether it’s a birthday or anniversary, fifty years – a half century – is a significant milestone, and one worth celebrating, especially if it represents something that significantly changed our industry, our lives, or our world. Certainly, the Honda Accord, which is now reaching its 50th anniversary, is such an example. On June 7, 1976, Honda dealers began selling an all-new midsize…

It’s hard to believe, but the Pilot three-row crossover has been a pivotal part of Honda’s North American lineup for nearly a quarter-century. While plenty has changed in those 24 years – including the Pilot itself, which was dramatically overhauled three years ago – the crossover continues to gain praise at being an incredibly well-rounded vehicle, as the editors at Cars.com recently…
The 2026 Honda Passport TrailSport has been a hit with the automotive media since its introduction. They loved how we transformed our two-row mid-size SUV into something worth taking on an adventure so much, a few publications found it difficult to bid their test cars farewell. Take The Drive, for example. Editors at the automotive site recently racked up 13,000 miles on their 2026 Passport TrailSport Elite, all the while…
As one of the few pickup trucks offering unibody construction, the 2026 Honda Ridgeline might have some traditional truck enthusiasts questioning whether or not it’s a “real truck.” But if the 2026 Ridgeline does everything you need it to – and in some cases, performs better than conventional body-on-frame pickup trucks – what isn’t real about it?

Even before the 2026 Honda Prelude arrived at our showroom, the enthusiast community took notice. It wears a name that speaks volumes of previous generations that combined premium touches with a sporting feel. The Prelude influenced competitors to step up their game if they wanted to match its class-leading engineering and technological advances that were decades ahead of their time. Today’s 2026 Prelude continues this tradition with…

There are obvious and less-than-obvious differences between the…
