2010 Honda Accord Crosstour
The all-new 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour will soon arrive at dealerships in this fall. The Accord Crosstour evolves the Crossover Utility Vehicle (CUV) concept by integrating a sleek and aerodynamic shape that blends sporty, low-profile contours with versatile CUV functionality. It will be a five-door tall wagon-style hatch back based on a modified Honda Accord chassis.
Eighth Generation Civic
For 2006, Honda completely redesigned the Civic giving it a more athletic, curvier look. All models (including the base model) come standard with ABS and side and curtain airbags. Additionally, the 2006 models acquired a ULEV-2 (Ultra Low Emission Vehicle) rating and boast a more powerful 1.8 liter engine than the 2005 counterparts, but still retain almost equal fuel economy
“H-Wing Carfighter”
Here is something that you do not see on the road everyday, a personalized custom modified Honda Del Sol car titled the “H-Wing Carfighter” . It represents the Rebel Alliance and features dual side-mounted laser cannons, bumper-mounted proton torpedoes, a dash-mounted targeting computer and an Aft-mounted astromech droid (like R2D2 of Star Wars fame).
Seventh Generation Civic
In 2001, Honda announced the release of the Civic Type-R for the EP chassis, a more sporty variant of the most recent model of Civic and successor to the EK9 Civic Type-R.
Fifth Generation Prelude
The fifth generation of the Honda Prelude saw enhancements over the fourth generation, including new body styling and handling characteristics. In 2001 the Prelude was discontinued. The fifth-generation retained an FF layout with an independent front suspension. The car had a 63/37 weight distribution. All fifth-generation Honda Preludes came with 16 inch aluminum alloy wheels with all-season tires. The fifth-generation Prelude marked a return to the body style of the late 1980s, or third generation, in an attempt to curb slumping sales of the fourth-generation body style.
Sixth Generation Civic
Beginning in 1997, Honda produced the first iteration of Civic to receive the “Type-R” appellation (applied first to the Integra Type-R), with the EK9 chassis Civic Type-R. The Civic Type-R had a maximum output in the range of 189 PS JIS (185 hp/132 kW), increased over the more common 160 PS (158 hp/118 kW) B16A engine in the SiR/VTi models, and included various alterations to the chassis to improve handling and reduce weight (such as better welding of the frame, and removal of the radio and noise-suppressing materials).
Fifth Generation Civic
The fifth generation Civic had a more wedge-shaped body and the wheelbase was increased to 257 cm (101.3 inches) for the two-door hatchback and 262 cm(103.2 inches) for the four-door sedan. The wagon was also dropped.
Fourth Generation Prelude
In 1992, the fourth generation Prelude was released. The car had a 58% front and 42% rear weight distribution. The four wheel steering system was changed to an electronic version and the engine was increased in size from 2.1 litres to 2.2 litres for the base “S” model and “VTEC” model , with a less performance-oriented 2.3-litre for the “Si” . The VTEC Model had an upgraded brake system, going from a 10.3″ front rotor to an 11.1″ front rotor, utilizing a larger calliper and brake pad, similar to that from the Acura Vigor.
Fourth Generation Civic
Fourth Generation (1988-1991)
For 1988, the wheelbase was increased to 98.4 inches (250 cm). The body was redesigned with a lower hood line and more glass, giving less drag. The model range was fairly limited for the US, whereas the European and Japanese markets had a wider range. A 1500 cc 16-valve fuel injected engine giving [...] Read more »
Del Sol
The Honda Civic Del Sol, also known as the Honda Del Sol and Honda CR-X in some markets, was a two seat, targa top convertible manufactured by Honda in the 1990s. Based on the Civic platform, the Del Sol was the successor to the popular Honda CR-X. The Spanish name del sol translates as of the sun, and refers to the car’s opening roof. It was not a full convertible, featuring a removable hardtop that stowed in the trunk and a retractable rear window for that “convertible” feel.
Third Generation Civic
For the third generation, the wheelbase was increased by 5 inches (13 cm) to 96.5 inches (245 cm). A 3-door hatchback, 4-door sedan, 4-door “Shuttle” wagon, and CRX coupe shared common underpinings, but the body panels were completely different for each bodystyle, with nothing interchangeable beyond the front bumper and headlights. The sedan and hatchback shared the same dashboard, but the CRX and wagons both had their own unique dash (CRX having a covered cubby in the middle of the dash, the wagon having a pop up set of vents which could be used or retracted into the dash).
Third Generation Prelude
The third generation Prelude was similar to the second generation, however it gained four wheel steering on some models, as well as a 2.0-litre SOHC carburetted engine, an optional B20A DOHC EFI engine, or a slightly-larger B21A1 in 1990 and 1991. It also had some new external designs worth mentioning. The bonnet line was designed to be the lowest bonnet line of any front wheel drive car in the world, allowing for better forward visibility. The drag resistance was at of high-speed stability.
Second Generation Civic
The Civic 1300 and 1500 came in base and DX versions, and the latter featured a five-speed manual transmission, rear window defroster, intermittent wipers and a cigar lighter. The 1500 GL added radial tires, a rear window wiper/washer, tachometer, clock and bodyside moldings. The Civic wagon came in a single version that was similar to the DX trim level.
Seventh Generation Accord
Seventh Generation (2003 – 2007)
In 2002, the Accord underwent another major redesign. This time, Honda decided to create two different cars that would bear the Accord name in different markets. The car known as the Accord in the US, Brazilian and Asian markets is based on the JDM Honda Inspire. Meanwhile the Japanese and European [...] Read more »
Prelude
The Honda Prelude is a sport compact manufactured from 1978 through 2001. The two-door coupé spanned five generations but was discontinued upon the release of the fourth-generation Honda Integra in Japan in late 2001, due to its decreasing sales and popularity. The Prelude’s perennial competitor has been the Toyota Celica, another I4-powered coupé introduced several years prior to the Prelude. Throughout the 1980s, it was challenged by the Nissan Silvia, Isuzu Impulse, Mitsubishi FTO, Mitsubishi Cordia (later the Eclipse), Ford Probe and Mazda MX-6.
