Self-praising aside, DriveArabia.com is certifiably the most comprehensive and most popular consumer-focused automotive website in the GCC. That gives us a good insight on what cars people are researching these days. Mind you, researching and buying are two completely different things, but we can figure out from our data which car brands and models are generating the most buzz among the general car-buying population. It is easy to see the concerted marketing effort by certain manufacturers are paying dividends, while some are banking on their long-running earned reputation, and others are doing well purely because of good new products.
How apt is it for Acura to take a nation’s, that is, China’s national colour and paste it all over their NSX show car while they try to capitalise on the Chinese market.
Our 2007 Honda S2000 does not have a trip computer. So we have to calculate fuel efficiency the old-fashioned way. That involves filling up the fuel tank completely, reseting the trip meter to zero, driving until it needs refuelling, going “full tank” again and noting down how many litres of petrol went in as well as the trip-meter reading. The random-guy-on-the-street will tell you that a small engine equals better fuel economy. That is not exactly the case.
The outgoing Honda CR-V was one car that really needed a makeover. As versatile as it was, the exterior design was way too awkward. Still, it sold in droves because it was, well, a Honda. The CR-V has been given a makeover for 2012, and it looks pretty slick now.
Those familiar with cars of the 1990s will remember the Honda Integra fondly. Available as a 2-door coupe or a 4-door sedan, it was a sporting alternative to the Civic and the Accord, offered from the mid-1980s all the way into the early 2000s, before disappearing off showroom floors in the UAE. But now it’s back in the GCC — as a motor-scooter!
The redesigned 2012 Honda CR-V was launched to the GCC media today at an event in the UAE. Essentially an all-new model, some of the specs remain familiar, but there are some major changes.
Acura, Honda’s luxury brand that is offered only in North America, unveiled the concept version for the 2013 RLX at the recent 2012 New York Auto Show, in an effort to revive its existence in the upper-midsize luxury segment.
The Nurburgring racetrack in Germany may be overhyped, but anyone can actually pay the minimal entry fee and drive on that track, apparently with any kind of car. Someone thought it was a good idea to take their old Honda CR-V to drive on the legendary piece of tarmac. But he does more than just cruise casually.
The 2013 Honda Accord Crosstour just debuted at the 2012 New York Auto Show, except that Honda is choosing to call it a concept for now.
