S660 Roadster a No-Go for U.S., But There’s More to Honda’s Sports-Car Story
http://ift.tt/1UnF5QI
While a new Automotive News report indicates that the fantastic, super-mega-tiny S660 roadster isn’t coming to the U.S. as was expected—we understood that a 1.0-liter S1000 was on the table—we thanked our lucky VTECs that we will at least be sold the Civic Type R. According to American Honda executive vice president John Mendel, the S660 is likely too small to cut it stateside,...

They are totally free of camouflage, but also alarmingly free of improved styling....

This doesn’t mean you should be afraid to do maintenance on your own car, though. There are certain car...

2016 Smart Fortwo Fuel Economy Released, ED Model to Arrive for 2017
http://ift.tt/1spacSt
The new 2016 Smart Fortwo is better in pretty much every way—except one: fuel economy, which is roughly the same as last year, at 33/39 for the automatic. (The newly available manual version checks in at 32/39 mpg city/highway.) Considering it has upgraded power and performance, this is somewhat of a win, although we’re sure that some folks—greenies in particular—might be disappointed that the Fortwo didn’t...

The Refreshed Chrysler 300 SRT Is Hot—But It’s Officially Dead for North America
http://ift.tt/1JBoMtD
The mainstream Chrysler 300 lineup received a thorough update for 2015 with nary a peep about the nuclear-grade SRT version. While that was a clear message that the burliest 300 was truly buried in North America—our sources also said as much last year—multiple sightings of refreshed 300 SRTs testing in the U.S. sowed confusion and seemed to indicate otherwise. Well,...

Audi Tech Update: Virtual Cockpit for A3, Anti-Hacking Measures, 1-Teraflop A8
http://ift.tt/1Kq8Lf5

Times have changed. Now such engineers are involved in every area of a car company. For proof, here’s a peek at what Audi’s electronics department, headed by Ricky Hudi,...
