In Canada, the Automotive Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) have handed out the Best New Small Car under $18 000 CDN to the Honda Fit. They also handed out the Best New CUV/SUV from $35 000 to $60 000 to the Acura RDX.
The Acura RDX received a IIHS Top Safety Pick Award from 13 vehicles. 2 other vehicles also received this award. The Honda CR-V and Pilot also received a IIHS Top Safety Pick Award.
However, none other Hondas nor Acuras received any other IIHS awards like the Odyssey and the Accord or the Acura TL due to whiplash protection.
What do you think about Honda's move to EV (Electric Vehicles) ?

The Ridgeline, Fit, Insight and S2000 are not picture because they are new or they have only one model.

You can see even the base model "looks" looks different from the 2006 models.

Acura CSX Type-S
This is the first picture of the all-new Acura CSX Type-S based on the Honda Civic Si Sedan but the Si Sedan isn't sold in Canada so the CSX Type-S takes over. The CSX Type-S will get the Si Coupe's 197 hp engine with a 350-watt Premium Audio System. It will also have special wheel trim, fog lights, rear wing spoiler, Vehicle Stability Assist with Traction Control, Type-S style interior trim, exclusive Type-S interior lighting trim, Navigation system, Helical Limited-Slip differential and a 6-speed manual transmission. The Acura CSX Type-S will only be available in these colours: Alabaster Silver Metallic, Nighthawk Black Pearl, Fiji Blue Pearl and Taffeta White coupled up with a black interior. The CSX Type-S will be only availabe in Canada and its price will be around $33 000. But SURPRISE, SURPRISE, it is already on sale in Canada, two weeks ago.

The 2007 Acura RL and TSX is now on sale!
Acura RL US website: http://www.acura.com/index.aspx?initPath=RL
Acura TSX US website: http://www.acura.com/index.aspx?initPath=TSX
Honda Odyssey Wheelchair Edition US only
This Honda Odyssey's wheelchair conversion is from VMI NorthStar, a highly fine wheelchair conversion company. The Honda Odyssey with the VMI Northstar conversion offers more interior room than any other wheelchair accessible premium minivan on the market allowing for maximum wheelchair maneuverability. The floor is lowered 11 inches to enhance driver line of sight and provide generous headroom. With the VMI Northstar conversion, it has a powered in-floor ramp with non-skid surface for unrestricted entry and exit. The PowerKneel(TM) System automatically and gently lowers the vehicle to decrease ramp incline and increase accessibility. The low 8 degree ramp angle provides an almost effortless entry into the minivan and the shorter ramp length allows for parking in tighter places. VMI actually purchases the Odyssey from Honda, then assembles the wheelchair in its own facility. It has already gone on sale but is only available for US for now.

Lots and lots of Honda U.S. car pics
Was bored on a Saturday afternoon so here are the 2004 Honda U.S. vehicles!
Honda Odyssey
This is a photo gallery on the history of the Honda Odyssey in Japan. Note the roof on the Odyssey in the first picture. A camper!!!
Honda CR-V
This is a history photo gallery of the Honda CR-V in Japan. Note the differences between the Japanese 1st generation Honda CR-V to the U.S. 1st generation Honda CR-V.
Honda Concerto and Domani
The Honda Concerto was introduced in the late-80s and was dead by the early-90s. The Honda Domani replaced the Concerto a few years later but after its redesign in the late-90s, it became smaller and was a off-spin of the Honda Civic.
Honda Prelude
A photo gallery on the history of the Honda Prelude. What a fabulous car, but Honda decided to remove this car due to low sales.
There are speculation that after the Honda S2000 dies this year, a re-introduction of a new Honda sports car or sports convertible possibly with the Prelude name may replace the S2000.
Honda City
The earlier City was based on the Jazz, the later City in the 90s was a design of its own while the current City is re-badged from the Honda Fit Aria.

Honda Ascot
The Ascot is based on the Honda Accord 5th generation. However, sales lasted only for less than a decade and was ceased in the mid-90s.
Honda Quint/Quint Integra/Quintet
This is the very little known name car called Honda Quint/Quint Integra/Quintet. But it is most commonly known in the states and Canada as Acura Integra.
A photo gallery on the history of the Honda Civic
Wow, we have gone through quite a lot of Honda Civic generations!
Enjoy all the pics!
BTW, look at that wood panelling on the second-generation Honda Civic Van/Wagon!!!
A photo gallery history of the Honda Accord
Wow, the Honda Accord has been through many generations! From hatchbacks to coupes to wagons to sedans, only 2 of these trims exist today.
Enjoy!
Honda Wallpapers
Was bored today so decided to post some Honda wallpapers or desktop wallpapers.
Note: These wallpapers only fit a computer screen of 800 x 600.
Enjoy!
Honda Pilot
Here comes the Honda Pilot! I have always like the first design of the Honda Pilot rather than the bulky refresh from Honda last year.
Honda Passport
The old Passport ceased in 2002, replaced by the Pilot was based by the now gone Isuzu Rodeo. The Passport still looks very handsome!
Can you believe that the Honda Passport name has lasted more than a decade?
Honda Odyssey
A little history photo gallery of the Honda Odyssey after 2000.
I still like Generation 2's styling!
Honda Insight
Ahh, the fuel-miser Insight. Honda has already ceased the Insight in its home market, Japan, Europe, Asia and elsewhere. U.S. will be the next country to follow with the kill of the Insight. Canada will be the last to follow. Look at that style! It looked futuristic in 2000 and it still looks like that now!
