How Honda Is Trying To Be Cool Again

[@letit023]

The problem with Honda right now, they're overcharging. For a new accord it almost 30k. It like they're trying to sell you a metal chain and calling it gold. And also Honda was never consider cool. It was considered a reliable and more important affordable car, which is now losing that main appeal.

[@miguelbaeza65]

That's how much midsize sedans are selling for. But for my money, I would go for the Camry because you automatically get a hybrid powertrain. Honda makes you pay an extra $5,000 to enter the hybrid powertrain on the Accord

[@jeffm5099]

They knocked it out of the park with the 2026 Passport.

[@gorillashop337]

I’m a Honda fanboy I’ll admit it, can’t for the Prelude to go on sale 😮

[@rudyj8948]

Real

[@a124as]

Sadly the drive train determines if it’ll be good or not.

[@raxjax8787]

They need to get rid of their CVTs

[@Mr_Pussi]

They are stubborn. Just like VW with their DSG.

[@mrt4575]

all cars should be manual... All automatic transmissions are junk...

[@raxjax8787]

@ I’m gonna have just slightly disagree with you. Hondas automatics are super reliable if you take care of it and don’t abuse it and drive it properly. One of the biggest things that keeps the transmission going and last almost forever it’s to perform transmission fluid maintenance which people often overlooked and never doing it, as all they care about is getting oil changes and go.

[@richardfranklin2252]

Along with many Honda motorcycles, I have owned a 2003 S2000 and now I have a 2020 Accord Sport. Honda products are always highly engineered. Keep it up HONDA!

[@tehnoobface]

I own a 2016 honda. I can say for certain a huge mistake was the CVT transmission. They put it in every car and it’s long term reliability is shit. Consumers took notice and now their reputation for reliability has tanked, which was for a long time the main reason people bought a Honda in the first place

[@kevinroosa1315]

Kinda wild that they haven't experimented with the EV/range extender combo. They have extensive R&D poured into both generators and hybrid vehicles. Also, it may just be my ADHD, but I'm not a fan of boatloads of electronics in cars. It's so distracting to have several screens doing a million things. They could make their cars less expensive *and* appealing to folks that want to pay attention to the road without distractions. Every manufacturer is going this route, and it would be a nice differentiator.

[@realkimchi88]

Honda designers have been so lacking in the last decade, esp true for acura. and their current refreshes don't even look as good as Lincoln

[@Slaxsvo]

Totally agree, which is a bummer as a Honda/Acura fan.

[@vsznry]

THE CLARITY IS THE BEST CAR ON THE MARKET RN, #trustmebro

[@rhenry212]

Their cars are too expensive for what you get. They want to compete with luxury cars but aren’t offering luxury cars.

[@es9221]

True for every car these days

[@Mr_Pussi]

Honda is stubborn and doomed to fail.

[@mrt4575]

Dacia and Lada should be in US market... They offer so much unless you expect safety and reliability...

[@Slaxsvo]

@@Mr_PussiWhat a hot take for a global company like Honda, coming from a guy nobody’s ever heard of.

[@Sam-d8o6q]

Acura needs more of a push globally. Lexus has established Toyota in the upper end market, Acura needs to do the same.

[@franko8572]

I didn’t know it wasn’t. Good style, reliable. What’s not to like?

[@jocool562]

The new ones?? They look like European cars. 🚮

[@Th3Shrike]

Standard features on the likes of hyundai and toyota such as wireless android auto and apple car play locked to higher trims on hondas, garbage cvts, stupid decisions such as only providing a 2.0L engine for the hrv in the north american market, list goes on. Reliability only gets you so far

[@Mr_Pussi]

CVT

[@blackcow8114]

Fit type-r when?

[@mrnarason]

Issue is that Honda cars are expensive and cost cutting, 2025 civic has no rear vents, USB, spare tire. 2025 camry cost less and has all of that

[@a124as]

You’re comparing a civic and a Camry. You obviously have no idea what you’re talking about.

[@KreweOfBridge]

We still drive a 94 Honda Accord 🚗

[@hondero4217]

That was my first car. I loved that thing.

[@maziczek915]

Honda is cool, always was, and definitely cooler than Toyota xd

[@kenmore01]

They should start doing the same for electric motors. Become the best manufacturer so companies will buy them from them.

[@abdullahakhtar9824]

Honda can begin by scrapping all SUVs and CVTs

[@jesusmarquez2037]

No V8 for Honda cars but in F1 are the king

[@bertschuh5720]

Bring back the Element to be cool!

[@PtrOBrn]

I belive that Ford has an Edge... Honda has a Fit.

[@604parkour]

The new passport will sell very well

[@didipkerabat]

Make an electric Odyssey and they will be back on the game.

[@letsgobrandon416]

Modern turbo Si is NOT fun to drive. It's slow to rev, runs out of huff early, and generally feels slow, because it is slow and under powered. NSX got it's lunch eaten by C8 Corvettes. Nothing in their lineup is noteworthy except the Civic Type R, but that thing costs as much as a performance sedan, so that makes no sense at all.

[@keli4068]

BYD sold 0.5 million cars in October

[@sidlazzar1002]

Electric vehicles and regulations are ruining everything for enthusiasts. Rules are making most new cars extremely boring unfortunately. Older cars are the way to go. I’m gonna be buying up a bunch because I definitely see the used car market going even higher. This EV fad is gonna fade eventually

They need to partner up with either Li, Xiaomi, or another Chinese ev automaker

[@silveriver9]

BYD. Just like how Tesla partnered with BYD to use BYD blade batteries.

No they don't.

[@pangienjj]

Honda wasn't cool from 90s.. They don't have to. Just make good cars, maybe rust proof them a bit. Happy ever after. There are planty of customers which want a car not driving computer you to make subscriptions. I think this tech BS in cars is a fashion same like people buying ICE car after owning EV.

There vehicles are hideous - they have me on the edge of the porcelain bowl trying not to puke after looking at them.

[@mouseisbroken]

those japanese legacy car makers are all dying - they can't develop self driving on their own, can't even build a half decent infotainment system. they are simply still living in the 90s.

[@miguelbaeza65]

That's because they want to be more preservatives than everyone else. They don't want to go all screens like climate control on their interiors because they know those things will break in the future

[@AthenaSaints]

NSX 2nd generation flopped. Honda only makes front wheel drive cars. No next generation of S2000. Integra is just a clone of Civic Type R. Got out of Formula 1 at least 4 times, got back into Formula 1 at least 4 times.
