After seeing this "poor" Honda Civic taking the beat of its lifetime and still continuing to run, do you still have any doubts about Japanese reliability? Unbelievable...
Following our reports on the official press release and the “pimped” Mugen versions of Honda’s all-new 2008 Crossroad, we’ll wrap things up with this promotional video. Well that is until Honda decides to present an American or European version of its compact crossover in the near future.
8,5 minutes after watching this I’m bored to hell and simultaneously utterly annoyed by the atmospheric music that destroyed any interest this video might of had. Why, why Honda did you spend time and money on this?
While this video isn’t as near as enjoying as the BMW 3-Series Coupe with a Honda S2000 engine video we showed last week, you’ve got to admit that the idea of putting an upgraded Civic Type-R motor to the rear end of a 900kg (1.985 pounds) Citroen Saxo is indulging. According to the guys who made the vid, the rear-wheel drive Saxo Type-R does the quarter mile sprint in 14,26 sec. Via: Diariomotor
Ok, I agree a 140Hp 4cylinder 1.8-liter engine doesn’t quite fit the “Ultimate Driving Machine” moto that describes a BMW model. But, to go on and fit a… 250hp 2.0 VTEC Honda S2000 engine on a 318is Coupe, that’s plump crazy and yes, we just love it!
Forget about the screaming Japanese chick in the pink cowboy hat, be patient with the “get to know you” scenes at the start of the video, and get a load of that superb Honda motor screaming aloud inside the bimmers chassis! Just look at that rev needle breaking with ease the 7.000 rpm end point of the bimmers tachometer continuing its course towards the other way! Via: Autoblog.it
We’ve already showed off Honda’s concepts at the 2007 Tokyo Auto Salon in a previous post that includes images and the official press release (yes its in English!) so we’ll spare you from any unnecessary blah-blah and let the video do the talking. But if any of you still feel an irresistible urge to see and read about it all you have to do is just click on the following link: Honda Concepts
Take a look at this son-of-a-gun; doesn't it bring back quite a few childhood memories? It's as if someone got one of those classic Hotwheel Hotrod's we used to play as munchkins -you know, the ones with the humongous set of rear wheels and the big block engines, and blew it up to a real-life size vehicle!

As I wrote before (click here to read more: HondaJet), Honda announced today that their going in the light jet business with the all new "Hondajet". Click on the following video to watch the flying Honda in real life action.
Although history has shown that when it comes to premium models, Europeans scarcely stray away from the “German Triad” (Audi, BMW & Mercedes-Benz), Honda believes it’s brand new, forth generation Legend has that something special to lure some buyers to it’s side.
Jason Plato form 5th Gear takes the new Legend out and puts it against the Audi A6 and the BMW 530i. Japanese engineers reckon that Honda's revolutionary four-wheel-drive system is better, but which is really the best drive? Click on the video bellow to see 5th Gear’s conclusion.
