You may recall that a couple of weeks ago I expressed some disappointment with an annoying wind whistle I experienced while riding the CB650R. There is a little airflow issue at the front of the bike, and any time I went over 45 miles per hour, I could hear almost nothing but this whistle. It […]

Honda idled its North American plants on March 23, while Nissan did on March 20, both to help contain the deadly outbreak of coronavirus, initially still paying its workers. But now both companies have told their furloughed workers to apply unemployment benefits as the shutdown of factories drags on.Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com

I’ve been doing unpaid promotional work for the Honda Fit (I own one) for awhile now, even though Honda can get fucked since it hasn’t brought the new generation to the U.S. Still, Honda’s early returns on the fourth-generation Fit are very, very good.Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com
Sorry, I meant “vehicles” in the headline. These will be vehicles of some type—probably a crossover and an SUV if I had to guess, though neither company said what Thursday—and they will be made here and allegedly ready for the 2024 model year. GM is supplying the platform, while Honda is doing the interior and…Read […]

Good lord. I knew the rear end on the current-gen Honda Civic was “polarizing” but I guess didn’t quite grasp how woefully inadequate that word was for describing your reactions following Friday’s Honda Civic Hatch review. Luckily for you, a reader read your rage and did something about it.Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com
Recently, I was presented with the opportunity to acquire a car that I had never seen before. Granted, many enthusiasts buy cars sight unseen, but what I mean here is I had literally never seen a single one in my entire life. I had no choice to go check one out first because there’s most […]
