Honda has combined its motorcycle and automobile expertise to develop a radical concept car that’s been inspired by the world of 2&4 racing, where riders and drivers face off at the track to determine which is the ultimate form of travel. With Honda’s concept, dubbed the Project 2&4, the design team has attempted to end the debate by combining the best of both worlds, and the results are simply stunning.

Don’t Bet On The S660 Arriving Stateside, Says Honda’s Local Chief
Honda has hit a Japan-only homerun with its new S660 sports car. The diminutive mid-engined machine has sold out its entire first-year production run of 8,600 cars. We love the fact that a nation is so excited for a lightweight, low-power convertible that its citizens quickly scooped them all up...

Honda has a hit on its hands with the mid-engine sports car known as the S660. The kei car went on sale in Japan back in April, and Honda has announced that the first year's entire run has been sold out. That is a production run of 8,600 cars and if you waited to place an order that means you've already missed the $16,000 boat. Sounds like great news, right? Well Honda seems to disagree because four-in-five S660 buyers are over the age of 40.

2016 Honda Accord Gets Sharp New Look, Loads More Tech
A new Accord isn’t normally reason for excitement but the latest 2016 model is certainly worth a close look at, even for those buyers considering a near-premium sedan or perhaps even a model from Honda’s upmarket Acura division. The 2016 Accord is an updated version of the model on sale...

Even Honda’s CEO Is Waiting To Buy A Civic Type R
When Takahiro Hachigo moved back to Japan in March to be the new CEO of Honda, after the previous CEO Takanobu Ito stepped down amid slowing sales and the ongoing Takata airbag fiasco, he was without a car.

Production of Honda’s new Civic Type R hot hatch is finally underway at the Honda plant in Swindon, England. The plant is the global hub for the Civic Hatchback, meaning it will also be supplying the United States with cars once the new Civic range goes on sale here in the fall. Other Civic bodystyles like the sedan and coupe will be sourced locally. The Type R is set to join another generation of the Si in the new Civic’s performance line, but the two cars will share very little in common. The Type R has been developed almost exclusively with the track in mind and has even...

Cars are great. They’re awesome. We nerd out over them, drool at inconvenient times (sorry, dear), and generally spend way too much of our lives obsessing over them. But some cars suck—so much so that they hurt other cars by their mere existence. The Honda Crosstour is one of those...
