In a year that saw sales of Honda's own Civic rise sharply while the forever top-selling Ford F-150 's sales plummeted, the Japanese automaker has benefited hugely from the rise in gas prices. Honda's CR-V is a prime example of the right car for the right times--which might explain why, in 2009, the only change to the fuel-sipping crossover is new paint colors. How much less is more in the 2009...

After concept cars and spy shots and teases of information, the new Honda Insight has broken cover.

Unpredictable gas prices and concerns over global warming have drivers and carmakers alike looking to hybrid vehicles. But is a hybrid the right choice for you? There are many good reasons to buy a hybrid -- and some bad ones, too. Some people approach hybrids as a silver bullet to their gas bills.

Honda's aim, in fact, is to drop about $2,000 from the Prius' price tag with its own new model, which TheCarConnection.com showed you before its Paris auto show debut this fall. The new Honda...

The 2008 Honda OSM concept is live on the stand at the London Motor Show, and that might be the last place you see it. Though there's been plenty of conjecture that this is a styling study for a new S2000 or some other exotic sportscar, the OSM--for Open Study Model--is a dead-end progeny of Honda's European design studio.

The shape and packaging of this prototype is clearly Prius-inspired, although the overall size looks larger than Toyota's hybrid favorite. The test group consisted of a Toyota Prius , Honda's face-lifted Civic Hybrid , and this prototype, which is sure to be considered the top of...

Worked out on an annualized basis, the industry would sell an anemic 13.6 million vehicles, a far cry from the 17-million-plus units automakers moved earlier this decade. Significantly, the decline was...
