A Check back at the Honda Pilot Concept

December 20th, 2009

Honda Pilot conceptEvery so often — as you shall see — I like to back and check out some of my favorite concepts over the last couple of years. The Honda Pilot concept was one of my faves, because I do so like boxy looking vehicles. It is a quirk of mine, but what can I say? It would be a boring world if none of us had quirks.

This vehicle was scheduled to come out in spring of 2008. The refinement was entirely integrated, along with its packaging attributes. The whole idea behind the prototype was capability and utility running side by side with style in an SUV design.

Good deal! It was one of the most well done concepts for the new classification of small SUVs — or so said its many fans at Detroit’s Spring 2008 motor show.

Goodbye, Gold Wing: Honda Stops Production On Motorcycles

July 23rd, 2009

Honda Gold Wing

We all knew that it was going to happen – the day that Gold Wing motorcycles by Honda stops and the production plant closes.  Now of course, last year Honda announced that it was going to happen but finally, they are doing it and closing down their production plant on Marysville, Ohio.  We are all going to miss the Honda Gold Wing being made in the United States, however – I think importing these particular motorcycles might be the best course of action.

The weird thing about them closing the plant this year is that this year actually marks the first 50 years of Honda making cars and motorcycles in America – while it might make financial sense to them, it is sort of confusing to us – however, that is neither here nor there because they are going to do it anyway.

We will miss you Gold Wing, but at least we can still expect to purchase these beautiful bikes via dealerships – and importing.

Sporty 2011 Honda CR-Z Hybrid: It’s Official!

July 19th, 2009

Sporty 2011 Honda CR-Z hybridIf there is one car that is by far the most anticipated car in the world, it has got to be the Sporty 2011 Honda CR-Z Hybrid.  Personally, I have been waiting for Honda to come out with another cool looking hybrid car.  I personally love Honda cars, I think that they are built incredible, they look awesome and all around, it is a fantastic investment!  However, the fact that they do not have enough choices in the hybrid department is something that I have been waiting for them to expand.

That is why I can not wait for the Sporty 2011 Honda CR-Z Hybrid to come out!  This car not only looks really, really friggin’ cool, but I have to say that it is going to be one of the hottest cars on the market as soon as it does come out.  Hybrid cars nowadays are becoming increasingly popular and while I know that Honda has the CRX, I think that the CR-Z is going to be much better.

If you are looking for a Honda car that is a hybrid and you can wait a year – just wait for the Sporty 2011 Honda CR-Z Hybrid to come out, it is well-worth the wait!
