Honda's four-door, five-passenger pickup receives styling upgrades and improved highway fuel economy for 2012, along with a new Ridgeline Sport model that provides high-value features targeted at the entry four-wheel-drive truck segment. The 2012 Ridgeline is now available in four models, including the Ridgeline RT, new Ridgeline Sport, Ridgeline RTS and Ridgeline RTL.

Car And Driver have published their "Short Take Road Test" of the 2012 Honda Civic EX sedan. 'Like car companies do with every redesign that comes along, Honda calls the latest Civic not merely new, but all-new. Even though the ninth-generation car's footprint is unchanged from that of gen eight, that statement holds more truth here than in most applications. The wheelbase has shrunk by 1.2 inches, to 105.1. (The coupe's wheelbase diminishes by 1.1 inches, to 103.2 inches.) Alterations to wheelbase entail fundamental changes to a vehicle's basic architecture--vindication for the "all new" descriptor. In the same vein, there's more room within this similarly sized package. Honda claims an interior-volume increase of almost four cubic feet versus the gen-eight sedan--it's now up to 95 cubes.'

The Truth About Cars have published a review of the 2011 Honda Odyssey. 'The new Odyssey's interior is similarly the sportiest in the segment (such things being relative) courtesy of a stylishly raked center stack. But this rake also has a downside: it places the HVAC controls--unusually located above the audio system controls--too far away. Aside from this slip, the center stack controls are better designed than the average Honda's these days, with large knobs for major functions. There aren't as many buttons because it's now necessary to navigate through menus, iDrive style, to perform many secondary functions. The buttons that remain are designed so they can be identified at a glance, with different shapes and only a few in each group. Interior materials are on par with Hondas past, and so better than those in the related Pilot SUV. They also appear less cheap than the oddly textured plastics in the Toyota Sienna.'

The Montreal Gazette have published a review of the 2011 Honda CR-Z. 'Driving the CR-Z is typical Honda -- ergonomics are excellent and major controls are exactly where you'd expect them. All the controls to audio and HVAC systems are easy to understand and use. Steering, clutch and gearshift are light and easy to operate. Ice-covered roads prevented us from testing the car in Sport mode, but our time last summer at a race track confirmed that an eco-friendly coupe can also be sporting. The functional hatchback design creates a rear vision problem, the result of the split, two-piece glass assembly, a design carry-over from the CRX.'

CNET have published a review of the 2011 Honda Accord EX-L. 'While the Accord handles everyday driving duties well, its suspension damping bumps and stops excessive body movement so we found it less than impressive as we slung it through the corners of a mountain road. Put in these extremes, at every turn the inside front wheel felt like it was plowing into the pavement. Around town and on the freeways it proved perfectly comfortable, its cabin and trunk big enough for many different kinds of suburban errands. It steered easily at low speeds, but we didn't care for the amount of play the wheel exhibited at freeway speeds. Technically, the power train is not particularly advanced, having only a five-speed automatic transmission. Instead of a manual mode, Honda gives the Accord three low ranges. In the second low range we were able to keep the engine in its power band and attack corners, but that is not what Honda intended here.'
