[FULL STORY]   The 2010 Honda Insight Hybrid Takes on Prius and Wins With Overall Value Leave it to Honda to ditch the premium price you’ve had to pay for hybrid technology. Honda’s goal with the 2010 Insight Hybrid is to reduce the premium price commanded by hybrid technology. This is what Honda does best, so we can expect the 2010 Insight to raise the technology bar and lower the sticker price. How does the Insight compare to Prius?

The 2009 Honda Accord is comfortable, roomy, intelligently engineered and fun to drive. Last year, the Accord was fully redesigned. It gained size and power with no loss of fuel efficiency.

For some, we know what spring really means: PEEPS®.

[FULL STORY]   Cell Phone Use in Cars Is All About the Brain, Not the Hands Bluetooth notwithstanding, humans just aren’t wired to drive and phone. Many states have made it illegal to use a hand-held cell phone while driving. Experts believed the danger was in driving with one hand and manipulating the cell phone with the other.
