The 4-door sedan in all its glory.

Designed for tight city driving, the Honda Personal-Neo Urban Transport, or P-NUT, vehicle is Honda’s conceptual answer to the Smart ForTwo.

This Civic GX is selling out consistently, and so Toyota has decided to get in on the game. In November at the LA auto show, they will be unveiling their CNG-electric hybrid Camry - although the company has not yet decided whether they should put the car into production.

This road in Lancaster, California plays the William Tell Overture. Small grooves in the road play the song at perfect pitch for drivers who roll over the road at the 55 mph speed limit, in a Honda Civic. It was put there by, you guessed it, Honda. Residents have had mixed reactions to the road, but the naysayers won: the grooves are being paved over this week.
Apparently this isn’t the first time this kind of thing has been tried, either. It has been previously seen in Japan, South Korea and the Netherlands. Read more… continue reading...
