Friday, August 21st, 2015
For the quick and easy answer, the 2016 Honda Pilot tows 3,500 pounds at the base trim level compared to the 2016 Ford Explorer’s capability to tow 2,000 at the base trim. Some simple math tells us that this is a 1,500 pound difference. But what does that really mean, is this an amount that can sway you one way or another?

An Endless Road
Monday, April 13th, 20152015 Honda CR-V Fuel Economy, Engine and Features
A new ad for the 2015 Honda CR-V is an endless loop of road that sounds like it would be terrible to be stuck on, but the idea behind is an interesting reminder of the new found fuel economy and performance offered by the crossover. The idea expands beyond that, as you realize the endless road is the pursuit of continual improvement.

We doubt the light will be a part of the 2016 Honda Civic production vehicle list of specs and performance features, but we are excited to see a sportier lineup. (more…)

However, the good news is we will see that 280 horsepower engine from the Type-R in the CR-Z in 2017. (more…)

The Honda Fit as a Four-Door Compact Sedan
A number of other hatchbacks out on the market are also offered as compact sedans. The Honda Fit may not be fitting in with that trend. In most cases, we like our Honda vehicles to stand out in the crowd, but if this means we’ll have another option for a great Honda vehicle, then we are all about having the Honda Fit as a four-door compact sedan.
