The Full Euro: Honda Civic i-DTEC Diesel Review
– Engineering timelines are longer than those of media scandals, which has given Honda a predicament with its all-new i-DTEC diesel engine.

Honda turns a Civic Type R windshield into a video game
Honda released a video showcasing the head-to-head race between pro gamer Peter “the SLAPtrain” Jeankins and IndyCar driver Graham Rahal.

The 2019 Honda Insight Is a Civic Hybrid by Another Name
– Honda’s hybrid history started with the Insight in the late 1990s, which beat the Toyota Prius to the U.S. market by a few months and was originally rated at 70 mpg by the EPA.
