2012 Honda Pilot Commercial Taps on Ozzy Osbourne's Crazy Train Song


The Honda Pilot is not exactly the kind of vehicle you would associate with a rock icon like Ozzy Osbourne, nevertheless, the Japanese automaker has used of one his most well-known songs in a commercial for the mildly updated crossover.

The "Road Trip" ad for the 2012MY Pilot shows two grownups at the front and six kids at the back attempting to sing Ozzy Osbourne's 1980 debut solo single, "Crazy Train", a capella.

We're not sure the ad works but you can check it out for yourself after the break and tell us what you think.

Honda to Reduce Production in Japan by 50% Over the Next Decade


The rising yen, which hit a 10-year high against the Euro last Tuesday while also getting stronger against US dollar, has forced Honda to rethink its production strategy.

Honda CEO Takanobu Ito told Japanese daily Asahi that the company plans to compensate by cutting its domestic production by half in the next decade. The move is part of Honda’s plan to sell 80-90% of its vehicles produced globally in local markets so as to be less vulnerable to currency fluctuations.

Polk Says 2011 Non-Dedicated Hybrid Model Sales Down 1.5% Versus 2010


With the notable exceptions of the Chevy Volt, Toyota Prius and Honda Insight, most of the hybrids on sale today are merely spin-offs of existing ICE models with gas / electric powertrains fitted; take the hybridized Chevy Tahoe, Toyota Camry and Honda Civic for instance.

According to automotive statistics website Polk online, in the first seven months of 2011, sales of non-dedicated hybrid models dipped 1.5% compared to last year. Analyst Tom Libby blames the sales slump on the lack of distinct styling; hybrid buyers want their cars to stand out from the crowd.

SPIED: Honda Continues Testing European Market 2012 CR-V


We've already brought pictures of prototypes, the concept version and more importantly, the official design patents of the upcoming 2012 Honda CR-V, but our persistent spy photographers just caught up with another test model of the compact SUV in Europe.

While it's only a matter of weeks before we see the final production model in North America as it is due to be revealed at the Los Angeles Auto Show before hitting showroom floors by the end of the year, European consumers will have to wait another year for the new CR-V to arrive in dealerships.

2012 Honda CR-V: Official Designs of the Final Production Model


There's no more hiding for the next generation of the Honda CR-V as we just got our hands on the official design fillings fully revealing the shape and styling of the Japanese firm's new compact SUV well ahead of its world premiere at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

As predicted, sans the smaller wheels and some body trim options such as the protection plate under the front bumper, there aren't any other noteworthy changes over the Honda CR-V study teased with a single photo back in July.

The exterior design is clearly an evolution of the current model's theme albeit with a less complicated front-end styling and a sharper looking window line.

Jackasses on Wheels and with Guns Terrorize Middle East Drivers [Video]


There's hooning. And then there's criminal hooning. These particular individuals shown in the video after the break no doubt belong to the second category with their idiotically dangerous antics.

Filmed somewhere in the Middle East (possibly in Saudi Arabia if we are to believe the Youtube commentators), the 10-minute long clip primarily focuses on the "achievements" of the driver and passengers of a silver Honda Accord and to a lesser extent, the crew in a Toyota Camry.

As if waving guns and shooting in the air on a public road isn't dumb enough, the wannabe drifters terrorize all the rest of the drivers throwing the Accord in front of passenger cars, trucks and even near a school bus.

Honda CEO Confirms New NSX and “Hot” 2012 Civic Type R

[2003 Honda HSC Concept pictured above]

Last April, we told you about Honda CEO Takanobu Ito's plans for a successor to the much-missed NSX supercar. Ito had then hinted that the “new NSX” would be more environmentally friendly, possibly using a hybrid powertrain like the Japanese firm's new small coupe, the CR-Z.

On the sidelines of this year's Frankfurt Motor Show, Ito-San reaffirmed the company's commitment to build an NSX successor.

“I spent part of my early career at Honda developing the NSX, and specifically the aluminium body," Ito told reporters from UK's Autocar. "I really enjoyed the experience and learned much, so my wish is that Honda engineers have the experience of developing a sportscar like the NSX in the future. Within Honda, our engineers are already looking at developing such a car,” he added.

SCOOP: All-New 2012 Honda CR-V Shows its Face in Europe


Given that, during the unveiling of a pre-production study of the brand-new CR-V this summer, Honda said the production model will go on sale in the United States by the end of 2011; chances are we will see the compact SUV making its world premiere in about two months' time at the L.A. Auto Show in November.

But before that happens, here are some fresh spy pictures of the production CR-V snapped during testing in Europe.

While the engine lineups will differ, we don't expect any noteworthy styling changes between the North American and European market versions of the Japanese company's popular SUV.

2012 Honda Civic Hatchback Unveiled Ahead of Frankfurt Motor Show


The new generation of the European market 2012 Honda Civic hatchback will make its world premiere tomorrow at the 64th International Auto Show in Frankfurt, but the Japanese company is giving us our first view of the car with the release of the official photographs.

The first thing you will notice about the 5-door Civic is of course its exterior styling. While Honda's designers kept the shape of the outgoing model intact, the devil is in the details, and whereas the previous Civic sported a futuristic styling with many creases and edges, its successor is frumpier with a lot more curves.

Honda Bids Farewell to Current Civic with a 260HP Mugen-Tuned Type R 2.2 Special


With the world premiere of the all-new European Civic hatchback at the Frankfurt Motor Show right around the corner, Honda decided to bid farewell to the outgoing model with the development of a hardcore version of the limited run Type R Mugen that may be offered to the public.

Confused? Allows us to explain. Last year, in collaboration with its in-house tuning division Mugen, Honda built 20 examples of the Civic Type R Mugen that features an uprated 2.0-liter K20 four-cylinder engine producing 240-horsepower. Of the 20 cars built, four remain unsold.

Honda Brio To Be Launched By The End Of 2011 - Technical Specifications, Features, Price


Honda motors recently unveiled the prototype of their new hatchback Honda Brio which makes use of MAN MAXIMUM - MACHINE MINIMUM CONCEPT. Honda's "Man Maximum - Machine Minimum concept" is a basic approach to Honda car design which aims to maximize the space available for people and to minimize the space required for mechanical components. New Honda Brio is developed as a city car which is easy to use even in urban areas. The easy to handle compact body (LENGTH:3610mm X WIDTH:1680mm X HEIGHT:1475mm) of Brio justifies naming it a city car. At the same time, the Brio ensures enough cabin space for five people which is achieved by highly efficient packing. With Brio, Honda thoroughly continued the creation of an advanced exterior form, which is compact and at the same time, asserts a strong presence.
New Honda Brio is expected to come in 2 variants, namely S and V, both of which are powered by a 4-cylinder, 1.2 liter, i-VTEC engine that produces 90PS of power. Brio comes with 5-speed manual transmission and a CVT transmission, which is available only in the V variant. Honda will be providing safety technologies such a SRS front airbags, disc brakes, ABS and EBD as standard in all versions. The fuel economy of Brio is assumed to be around (100 km /5 liter).
Honda has already launched Brio in Thailand. The launch of Honda Brio in India and other Asian countries is expected to be by the end of this year. The price of Honda Brio in India is expected to be between 5 lakh and 7 lakh Indian rupee.
