New Honda Ridgeline Spied..

The all-new 2016 Honda Ridgeline is coming, and there have been a few new renderings that show what the pickup might look like. Although the renderings aren't from Honda itself, they're heavily based on a sketch that Honda released at the Chicago Auto Show, which previewed the upcoming truck.
   According to the renderings, the Ridgeline will combine traditional Honda SUV styling with a more familiar pickup design than what the outgoing Ridgeline offered. That means a bed separate from the truck's body, a typical pickup feature that wasn't present in the original Ridgeline. The result is that the latest Ridgeline could offer more bed and cab configurations than the outgoing model.
Another difference between the renderings and the outgoing Ridgeline: The latest version of the truck will probably offer more typical Honda styling, compared to the more muscular, bold look of the old Ridgeline. While some truck enthusiasts might complain that the new truck isn't brawny enough, it will likely appeal to city-based car owners who don't need the size and might of a tough, muscular full-size pickup.

   Beyond the teaser sketch shown in Chicago, Honda hasn't released many details about its upcoming Ridgeline pickup. Expect that the new truck will utilize the Honda Pilot chassis, just like the old model, along with a 3.5-liter V6 and a 9-speed automatic transmission.  Stay tuned for more updates on the 2016 Honda Ridgeline.

Winterizing your vehicle

1.  Check your battery.  Getting stranded in the cold with a dead battery is no one's idea of a good time.  If you have a maintenance-free battery, there should be a window on the top of the battery that tells you the state of it's charge.  If it's not, check the fluid levels, and top off with distilled water as necessary.  if you're not sure how to check your battery, most any auto parts store will be able to check it for you.

2.  Check your tires.  While a dead battery can leave you stranded, balding tires on snowy and icy roads can lead to a much more dangerous situation.  If you live in an area that gets a significant amount of snow, you may want to consider snow tires.

3.  Check your wiper blades.  Going cheap on your wiper blades or ignoring them can lead to very unpleasant driving in the winter.  Bad wipers can't do an adequate job of keeping the snow and ice off of your windshield, no matter how high you have the defrosters blasting.

4.  Check your fluids.  Check your owner's manual, but for most vehicles, the cooling system should be flushed every two years.  If your vehicle is overdue, prior to winter setting in is as good of a time as any to have it taken care of.  Also, refer to your owner's manual to find what type and what mixture of anti-freeze you should be using.  You will also want to keep your windshield washer fluid full, using a fluid that is designed for not freezing in the cold weather.  If you get stuck behind a truck throwing dirty snow at your windshield, you will be glad you did.  As always, change your oil regularly.

5.  Keep your vehicle supplied.  Normal emergency materials are key for the winter.  If you do get stranded on the road, you want other driver's to be able to see you.  Roadside flares are not excessive to keep on hand.  Keeping extra warm cloths, gloves, and a blanket or two are always good ideas as well.  Be sure to have lock de-icer on hand- and keep in mind that it doesn't always help to have it in the car.  Some in your house, and some at work are a great idea.
 
6.  Care for the interior of your car.  In and out of the snow, ice, and salt can be particularly rough on your carpets.  Be sure to have at least an inexpensive set of floor mats for your car.  Better yet are the kind that can hold the water and keep it away from your carpets completely.

7.  Let your car warm up (and revving your engine doesn't really help).  Keep in mind, though, thieves are excellent at watching for cars that are running but unattended.  Have an extra door key that you keep on you and lock the doors while it is warming up, even if you are at home.
 
8.  Be safe.  Allow extra time to get where you are going, leave plenty of space between you and the driver in front, and use good common sense.  It's better to arrive a few minutes late than not at all. 

The redesigned Honda Accord

                                 

   The redesigned 2016 Honda Accord is going to have some big shoes to fill, it's own. After all, it has landed on the "10 Best Cars" list 29 times while remaining America's favorite family sedan. The 2016 Accord has added some new ingredients to an already spectacular recipe and we can't wait to try it. The improvements go beyond the typical revision and the result is beautiful.

  The Accord is currently a few years into it's ninth generation and the 2016 will bring a mild refresh that will be most recognized by the bold new grille design and redesigned taillights. The Sedan's will also get a re-contoured aluminum hood. With the Coupes, you're giving up a little practicality for a more of a performance look; they are very similar from the front seats forward but their completely different, wedgier tail and side add up to a more dynamic stance.

  Honda in the past hasn't had much of a reputation for cramming value and convenience features into its vehicles. But that's all been turning around lately. The Honda Accord Sedan offered in LX, Sport, EX, EX-L, and Touring trims, while the Coupe available in LX-S, EX, EX-L, and Touring models. The base Accord LX model includes dual-zone automatic climate control, 16-inch alloys, Bluetooth connectivity, a rearview camera system, and an eight-inch i-MID display with Pandora audio streaming and SMS text-message capability. V-6 models get some nicer cabin appointments, and EX-L models have a 360-watt system with Aha internet radio streaming. So, consider the Accord's shoes filled.

The redesigned Honda Civic

   The all-new Civic Concept took the spotlight at the 2015 New York Auto Show on April 1. As the basis for the entire line of the 2016 Civic family, the Civic Concept boasts a variety of sporty, aggressive features that will redefine the compact market. This fall, the Sedan-later followed by a Coupe, an Si, a 5-door model, and a new Civic Type-R-will celebrate our take on an advanced, sport-inspired design. Featuring a new turbo-charged engine, the Civic Concept embodies the spirited, game-changing future of the tenth-generation Civic.

   The new Civic is being called "the most radical redesign in Civic history". It's a redesign that Mr. Honda himself would be proud of, a concept car that so closely resembles that of the tenth-generation production car. Honda is returning to the sporty Civics of beloved memory, establishing new high points of handling and refinement for the model. The new Civic will be a little wider and a little longer than the current model, with a shorter front over-hang and A-pillars that are pulled back to give it a more exciting profile. The front and rear LED lighting strongly resemble that of the current model and the rest of the Honda line up. Stay tuned for more information, including horsepower, body materials and suspension architecture, on this exciting redesign of the Honda Civic.
