It has a bigger engine, firmer suspension, LSD, way nicer interior, active noise canceling, etc. Loosely, it is the M3 of Accords, as in you spend double what the base model costs to extract the maximum performance from the platform.

To be honest I don't care much for navigation/electronics. The digital dash panel shows me tire pressure and ambient temperature and there's nothing more I would want from it. For navigation and music, I use my phone and the steering wheel controls. I couldn't care less if it didn't have a touchscreen although it does…
Cheapest one on ebay is $13,000 with an automatic and 129,000 miles. The cheapest manual TL-S I found with less than 100k miles is $16,999 and there are no pictures. $17,999 for the cheapest with pictures, but it is gray which is the least-desirable color. Blue is the most desirable and any time one of those pops up…
Hooray TL-S! Although, good luck finding one in good condition for less than $10,000. I bought my 2007 Nighthawk Black Pearl TL type S 6MT in March 2014 for $20,500 with 65,000 miles. Before anyone says I overpaid, I bought the car within 6 hours of the dealer listing it for sale and in that time 6 people had called…
I'm sorry that I appreciate good engineering. Honda killed it in the 2000's. Every car they made was best-in-class (early V6 transmissions and 2009 TL excepted). I've owned plenty of other cars made in that era but none were as satisfying to own as the Hondas.
The "detour" was a warm-up loop to take on fuel and get the plane up to speed. The timing didn't start until they were back over the USA. There's no way they would have been able to average 2145 mph for a full flight.
I mean 10 years later it should be, and the overly-enthusiastic tone of this article just seems a bit odd when Ford isn't really doing anything groundbreaking just improving on an existing concept.
One of the most impressive features, however, was the power window on each of the rear sliding doors. Something like that wasn't necessary as most vans until recently didn't have this option, but it's another touch that the forward-thinking heads at Ford decided to put into their lovable and pragmatic people-hauler…
What amazes me the most about Maldozers continued sponsorship is that PDVSA barely has enough income to keep the lights on. Their capital investments are a mess and my company has had to shut down projects several times due to PDVSA's inability to keep current with their invoices. Venezuelan oil isn't the most…
How is the Civic type R any more different from the base Civic than the WRX STI from the Impreza? I have yet to see you explain that clearly.
The console makes me barf a little. If they're going to make it so large and obtrusive the least they could do is point it toward the driver so it feels like a cockpit. That might actually make the gigantic console idea work.
So, let me get this straight. A special version of a special version of an economy sedan is more economical to make than a special version of a special version of an economy hatchback? That's some interesting logic.
Yeah, Suburban. Don't know what I was thinking.
My TL has the handbrake on the passenger side and I think it's the perfect spot. If it were on the driver's side it would be awkwardly close to my body.
Do you think this guy is selling at a loss then? $35k for the 2015
Autocar has details on what they're calling the fastest and most powerful front-wheel drive hot hatchback in existence. The 310 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque at just 2500 RPM (in a Honda! Jesus!) come from a 2.0-liter turbocharged i-VTEC four. The zero to 62 mph (100 km/hr) dash happens in 5.7 seconds, and…
The Silverado is made to transport people, not cargo. Even if it were stripped out to carry cargo it would be a van.
HHR is a wagon, if not a hatchback. It lacks the offroad capability to be called an SUV, and it is way too small to pass as a crossover.
Variations on existing technology are cheap, and badge-engineering isn't necessarily a bad thing if done right. Volkswagen badge-engineers its models more extensively than GM in the '90s but they are very profitable. Jalops are a small minority, and consumers are generally uniformed, if not stupid. For example, my…
Recently I watched a game and underwent an epiphany: it dawned on me that children's football (it isn't bloody soccer, it never was) exists as a metaphor for the modern motor industry. Want to know why?
