The article compared the accord and this patent side by side and they have nearly identical proportions and overhangs and I don't think the accord is hurting for interior space - especially compared to the current TLX interior.
I'm biased, I love a long nose on a car, I don't mind a longer...
That was my thought that it could be a platform that supports both options a la the new dodge challenger/daytona. But my guess is that honda would be utilizing their 0 series platform (which is what the Afeela/Sony sedan is using as well). But I don't know if it is dual compatible for...
So I've seen these for a couple of days now and figured I'd start a discussion. These patent images came from Honda's Japanese patent offices.

Now pretty much every other outlet has reported this as the next gen TLX. But...
Well it was in Acura's best interest to make the integra as versatile as it humanly could (while maintaining proportions and style) otherwise they would've just brought an entry level crossover to the market instead. The versatility of the integra is meant to be nearly as good as a small...
I would take any hatch over a trunk in most cases. There have been so many times that the trunk opening hindered my cargo more than the actual size of the trunk. Having the wider, taller, more open pass to load things in, in combo with nearly fold flat seats (versus the compromised pass through...
My best guess is that you need to figure in a few things between the civic sedan and integra hatch.
-The integra hatch has a more sloped rear roof line leading into the hatch, that cuts some space.
-You also have interior trim pieces in the hatch versus the trunk that doesn't have these extra...
The CVT like any automatic transmission is controlled by a computer, it won't let you do anything too extreme that could cause damage. It'll override your inputs if need be.
Many years ago Myth Busters tested what happened if you shifted a modern stepped automatic into reverse during driving...
Here's some possibly new info via Burlapper and images caught of the interior of the prelude concept, as well as the potential that it will be a liftback.

I sort of suspected the prelude *might* possibly be a liftback given the...
The Prologue / ZDX are just Honda/Acura versions of the Chevy Blazer EV.
Not that they're bad, but not exactly as exciting as a new sports coupe, heavy EV crossovers are becoming a dime a dozen. GM's effect on future reliability for the Prologue/ZDX will be interesting to see.
Once Honda...
As I said, if anyone will do it, Honda will. They've also stated that they won't go the route toyota/lexus is planning with totally faked manuals. So there is always a chance this could be the introduction of new hybrid tech that could trickle into next gen CTR etc in offering a manual (or...
The only issue with a manual for the Prelude is that Honda's current hybrid setup is far different from the IMA system the CRZ used where the hybrid component acted as more of a secondary boost to the gas engine, with the engine still doing the majority of the work, allowing for stepped gears...
I'm excited to see any automaker come out with a new 2-door model. I held onto my 19' civic coupe because there wasn't a coupe to replace it with when my lease was up. I knew Honda has renewed its trademark for the Prelude name (as well as CRX, maybe they floated both options for the name). And...
Surprised nobody had posted yet about the reveal of the Prelude concept from the Tokyo motor show the other day. Initially thought to be an EV, Honda PR later clarified on Twitter that it would indeed be a hybrid and not a full on EV, and it will be FWD.
No other specs were given, but it...
I could see them switching (as each car comes up with its needed redesign) to EV. They did say the Integra would be the last all new gasoline model Acura would release. The ZDX will happen first, then RDX, followed by the TLX and finally the MDX. Honda's in-house e:Architecture will suit the mid...
I'm convinced now that Honda/Acura has lost the plot completely.
Honda started it off releasing their new gen models that all rose in price (some by considerable amounts) while de-contenting the various trims (little things like heated seats, fog lights, alloy wheels, etc), while making them...
The Tiger Eye Pearl has been a Type S color for some time now. Apex Blue was their signature color on their last generation of models, but became available on the entire lineup with the current gen. Tiger Eye was introduced as the new Type S models exclusive color.
It's not my cup of tea...
It's not really much longer than the regular integra. The integra is longer than the civic hatchback and is based more closely to the civic sedan, which is about 4 inches longer than the hatch because of rear overhang. The integra is about an inch longer than the civic sedan. That's where the...
Depending on how sales continue, I'd expect a mid model update not until at the earliest the 2025 model, 2026 if sales are still strong. That said, the infotainment introduced in the new accord will definitely begin to trickle down to other models, even possibly to the refreshed civic which...
Really good review, as someone that cross-shopped both of these cars I think they hit the nail on the head for both. I've long said these cars should be compared more than they are, and I think anyone that knows anything about either car would agree with their thoughts on both cars' strengths...
Yes, that is what I meant, sorry for the confusing wording.
Most tunes available from reputable sources like hondata/ktuner etc take into account the CVTs particular weak points and allow torque to build gradually from a stop so as not to over-stress the CVT. It's important to just make sure...
