On paper, the new Civicbased HR-V resolves those issues.
Buyers will appreciate the interior upgrade most of all. An adaptation of the Civic's, it's far more upscale than before and brings a great deal more functionality. The hidden vents in the decorative honeycomb trim are classy, and the infotainment system is massively improved.
The center console and armrest were one of the old model's least liked aspects, so Honda moved the cupholders from under your elbow to forward of the shifter, making them simpler to reach and increasing your elbow room. The pass-through shelf that was by your knees is now behind the shifter by your thighs, and it's easier to access. USB ports, previously a pain to access, are in much more ergonomic positions. Pity there still isn't a single USB port in the rear seat, and the 12-volt outlet is gone.

Can the Chevrolet Silverado ZR2 \"Meteor\" Kill Off the Dinosaur Trucks?
We recently heard a rather tasty morsel: Chevrolet is planning a more extreme version of the Silverado ZR2 to properly take on the Ram 1500 TRX and Ford F-150 Raptor. The project is apparently called “Meteor” because “that’s what killed off the dinosaurs.”

What Everyone's Been Waiting For 2023 XL750 TRANSALP
Honda's Transalp lineage dates back to the late '80s as the XL600V. We saw the motorcycle only briefly in the U.S., and then it disappeared in the great adventure dual-sport extinction event of the early '90s. Although, some aspects have been carried over from the 700V model, like the large dash area and color options (which we'll discuss later), the all-new platform comes with a host of modern features. So, what's the 2023 XL750 Transalp all about, and how will it stack up against the competition? Let's dive in....
2000-09 What to Buy: Honda S2000
Overseen by Honda chief engineer Shigeru Uehara (the father of the original Acura NSX and the Integra Type R, two cars that embodied Japanese performance in the '90s), the Honda S2000 is a two-seat roadster we described as "the car of your dreams."

IS THIS REALLY THE LAST GAS(P)?
There is no doubt that we are in the beginning/middle/end (you pick) of an automotive era. We have seen your letters complaining about too much electric-car coverage-they're in an overflowing postal bin marked "Angry Letters to Santa." We get it. Unfortunately, many of the new vehicles being introduced are electric or electrified. But, most isn't everything, nor does it mean the next time you head to a dealership you'll have to buy a vehicle with some variation of the following words: "Eco i Lightning tron ID Prime Dream." There are still some great gas-burning machines coming to showrooms soon, and we've carefully selected 12 that we think are worth the wait. After you buy one of these models, consider keeping it for the long run because vehicles of this ilk will become increasingly rare in the coming decades.
The Affordable-sports-sedan Segment Isn't for Everyone, but It's Definitely for Us
Decades ago, meals looked very different. People would scarf down something called creamed chipped beef, then, without missing a beat, mix canned tuna with Jell-O to create a tuna mold.
Lekker, China!
"Enjoy your first class”. We know the propensity for hyperbole in advertising. We may be sceptical of such a bold statement by a Chinese brand but times have changed
