On November 28, computer screens around the country will be lighting up as shoppers look for deals online.  This shopping phenomenon, which is like a “Black Friday” for the Internet, is referred to as Cyber Monday.

Since the coining of the phrase “Cyber Monday” in 2005, the number of sales each year has increased.  In 2006, online shoppers spent about $610 million purchasing gifts on the…

Do you know where your Honda Pilot came from? 

The answer is: Lincoln, Alabama, home of Honda Manufacturing of Alabama.  The facility produces 300,000 Pilots, Odysseys, Ridgelines and V-6 engines annually.  That amount supplies the global demand for those models, and Honda recently announced they will be investing $84 million to boost production by 40,000 vehicles per year.  HMA will also be…

The Phoenix Roadster is the world’s first biodegradable car and uses bamboo in its design.  Designed by Kenneth Cobonque and Albercht Birkner, the vehicle is meant to have the appearance of a leaf.

There are many benefits to using bamboo in production: it grows quickly and anywhere, and is strong and rigid.  The design also incorporates steel and nylon into the structure, which took ten days…

This week, Honda has used SEMA to demonstrate several interpretations of the new Civic Si Coupe.  They also took advantage of the opportunity to announce news about the ninth-generation model and debut a prototype Accord with a supercharger.

Some people could care less about the color of their car.  For others, color is the only thing that matters.  Maybe it seems silly to be concerned about color, but you have to admit – it’d be pretty disappointing if automakers took a page out of Henry Ford’s book and said, “Any customer can have a car painted any colour he wants so long as its black.”

How do you pick which color you want? …

Love Honda cars?  Honda didn’t always produce automobiles.  When it first started in 1948, the Honda Motor Company, produced motorcycles; in fact, Honda has been the largest motorcycle manufacturer in the world since 1959.  To understand Honda’s history, it’s necessary to learn a little about the Japanese automaker’s founder, Soichiro…

Want to save money on gas?  Everyone does.  We saw gas prices fall last September, although it appears they’ve gone back up by 10 cents in some parts of the US.  While we can’t control the prices of gas, we can – to some extent – control our fuel efficiency.  By practicing safer driving methods and following car maintenance guidelines, you can get a better mileage per gallon.

Use some sense…
