Thanks to the North American group of automotive journalists, the 2018 Honda Accord has been named the 2018 North American Car of the Year. But what makes this sedan stand out in a saturated segment?
More than 11 million Accords have been made in America—this fact alone proves that this sedan is renowned for a reason. The jury appreciated that the newest model made every effort towards modernity, with an

Honda connoisseurs were abuzz with excitement on April 6, 2017, as a Honda global reveal out of the automaker's North American headquarters in Torrance, CA showcased dynamic video footage of the soon-to-release 2017 Honda Civic Si coupe two-door and 4-door sedan, with production variants on prominent display. And if the prospects of a lightweight, rigid body, upgraded chassis and drive components, and a turbocharged high-performance, 1.5-liter, directed-injected DOHC in-line 4-cylinder engine indicate anything, it's that the road warrior's set to redefine the experience of...
The news that the Honda Civic Type R is coming to America is almost two years old now. Since then, we’ve seen one prototype, and numerous spy shots of the car testing. At the Geneva Motor Show yesterday, Honda finally took the wraps off the first-ever U.S.-bound Type R, and fans of both the car and the Civic in general can’t get enough.
If you’re attending an eligible historically black college or university (HBCU ) and you’re participating in the Honda Campus All-Star Challenge (HCASC) program, Honda has a unique and challenging learning opportunity available.

Areas of study include:
Our favorite automaker is all about enhancing the way we drive and, with two new patents they've filed about safety technologies, it's only going to get better! Both of these technologies rely on the use of heads-up displays (HUDs) that would allow you to see more than just what you can see looking out your vehicle's windows.
When we think about increasing efficiency in vehicles, we often think smaller engines with less cylinders, and even hybrid or all-electric models. However, the transmission in your vehicle has a hand in increasing fuel efficiency and Honda has a patent on an 11-speed transmission that should be a real game changer.
There are a lot of hybrid vehicles on the road these days but their engines rely on the use of rare-earth metals. Unfortunately, the price of rare-earth metals is expected to rise by 14% every year, so Honda knew they had to stop trying on them. Recently, they announced that an upcoming hybrid vehicle will use a different material entirely.
We hold your safety in the highest regard so, when our favorite Japanese automaker issues a recall on any of its vehicles, we know that we have to get the word out as soon as we can. If you happen to drive either a 2015-2016 Honda Odyssey or a 2016 Pilot, then this recall may affect you.
The 2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year Awards are just around the corner and the 2017 Honda Ridgeline is the Japanese automaker's eligible vehicle for the truck segment. We're already crossing our fingers for it!
