2022 Honda Civic Sedan Features a Cleaner Look, Carryover Engines

By Veronica Tan 2 months ago
  • The new 2022 Honda Civic sedan is here with an attractive redesign and an improved interior.
  • It features the same 2.0-liter and turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engines as before.
  • Honda says it will go on sale in the U.S. this summer.

    Honda Civic generations tend to alternate between revolution and evolution. The outgoing 10th-generation car took big steps forward in terms of styling and performance, so it stands to reason that its successor features a more conservative redesign. Given the new 11th-generation 2022 Civic’s more mature looks, we think that’s a good thing. The new model boasts cleaner styling, carryover engines,

    By Veronica Tan 2 months ago

    Toyota is going racing with a hydrogen combustion engine, mainly as an experiment and continuation of Toyota’s somewhat unhinged obsession with hydrogen. Still, I think you will agree that it sounds good.

    Which is to say that it sounds like a car:

    This video is courtesy of Toyota Times, which is some combination of a publication for Toyota fans/promotional content for Toyota/star vehicle for the Japanese actor Teruyuki Kagawa. And no, I don’t understand the existence of Toyota Times either.

    9 Hardcore Street-Legal Track Cars

    By Veronica Tan 2 months ago

    Spending the day at the track is one of the great joys of being a car enthusiast. You can cut loose without fear of a speeding ticket, enjoy exploiting a car’s grip and handling as intended, and refine your high-speed driving skills.

Still, sooner or later, you’re going to realize that carpets, soundproofing, AC, and safety systems are heavy, as are power-sapping emissions systems. Then your car isn’t road legal anymore, and you’re going to need a
