    Honda is looking towards America to help out with the development of future vehicles. Honda cites two reasons for this move. One is due to the rising Japanese Yen which is making the price of development much higher. Also, Honda is under growing pressure from other automaker including Nissan and Hyundai with their new vehicles.

    "Our U.S. r&d team is taking the next step in our growth toward an even larger responsibility for meeting the needs of our customers in North America," said Honda's North American R&D chief Erik Berkman at an a summit in Traverse City, Michigan.

    Honda's North America r&d will be taking over taking over the next-generation Civic and will be the lead on the Acura NSX.

    AGree with simple, blu. Honda needs to get back to it!

    Simple is fine, but even Simple needs style. They have no design mojo and so the US will bring this to Honda. The next version of the CIVIC and NSX are going to be very interesting to see.

    • Pathetic, truly pathetic 'Stupid beyond belief': Trump and Musk blasted as DOGE fires 'hundreds' of FAA employees @oldshurst442 I know that Idiot47 is not a reader, but this just blows my mind that he does not understand what happened at Pearl Harbor or the Arizona Memorial. Trump did not understand Pearl Harbor, new book reveals: ‘What’s this all about?’ We are so messed up with the Idiot Lemmings that are just there to kiss Idiot47 butt. Maddow Blog | Pete Hegseth’s tenure at the Pentagon goes from bad to worse I truly fear for all our personal data, if not now, I am sure it will end up on the dark web sold to the highest bidder. Musk and his Criminal DOGE group is truly going to hurt the U.S. and both my Grandfathers who fought for this country in WWII are turning over in their graves at the incompetence of this administration. 'He couldn't answer': Dems left shocked after ambushing Mike Johnson over Elon Musk On top of this crazyness, our love for the auto industry has never been put in more danger of total collapse due to the stupid leadership we currently are under. 🤔 I have not researched this, but could we recall a President?
    • Ok, it's a lot clearer.  The issue is now why that wing dipped.  Some articles mentioned wind gusts. CRJs are quiet and nimble, for the most part.  I don't like their wing swept back and I don't like the engines at the rear hugging the fuselage.  It's noisy in the back.  When it comes to this more commuter-like size, I now much prefer the Embraer 190/185 product. This tells me to keep that safety belt fastened tight.  We've seen people get out quickly when the plane was right side up ... AF's Paris-Toronto A340 and the JAL A350 in Tokyo that collided with a commuter plane on the runway.  Getting out when you're upside down must have been much worse.  I'm thinking some of these folks will have PTSD from this.  I feel for them.  
    • What is this 10.5% sales tax and what are the extra add-ons funding?  Unbelievable. You can find an $8 to $10 omelette at a dive in a nondescript part of Houston.  Food there isn't ridiculously expensive.
