The 2009 Acura TSX tests

If we accept that there is something interesting about every car, then the 2009 Acura TSX tests this proposition to the breaking point. Is it well made? Are Oprah’s diamond earrings real? Of course, it’s well made. It’s a lux’ed-up, Euro-spec Honda Accord, re-badged as an Acura and aimed at America’s young and upwardly mobile […]

The Honda Civic Type-R

The Honda Civic Type-R: an uncompromising hot hatch with great performance, right? But one that is hard-riding, noisy and not particularly inspiring until you rev it up to nearly 7,500rpm? Wrong.
