Honda is introducing an all-new, 10-generation Civic for the 2016 model year, one based on a global platform and powered by new turbocharged four-cylinder engines. And in addition to the regular sedan and coupe variants, there will also be a return of a five-door Civic hatch. We now have an opportunity to compare and contrast the 2016 Civic with the previous-generation model, albeit the comparison is between a 2016 Civic Sedan and a 2015 Civic Coupe. What’s immediately noticeable is the difference in the size and stance of the two cars. The 2016 Civic is wider and lower than the model...

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.

There will be another go-around for the car, and the orders will no doubt flood in again.
