2024 Honda Prologue Fully-Electric SUV Reveal

The 2024 Honda Prologue is the first fully electric Honda SUV coming in early next year. The Neo-Rugged design is getting a lot of attention, including the spelled-out “H o n d a” badging which will be a signature of all future Honda EV’s.

The Prologue is about the same size as the Honda Passport but sits lower. Surprisingly, it is longer than the Honda Odyssey. A minivan.

Translation?

Very R o o o o o m y.

The additional length coupled with a longer wheel base and no center driveshaft bump, and you’ve got a lot of space to spread out.

• Up to 300 Mile Range

• Single Motor FWD or Dual Motor AWD

• Dual Motor has 288hp and 333 lb-ft torque

• 65 miles of range in 10 mins of charging

Civic Type R TCR Podiums Road Atlanta

Road Atlanta in Brasselton, GA hosted the final race of the Michelin Pilot Challenge this past weekend. As performance oriented as the stock Civic Type R is (we have one in stock btw😉), it’s stripped-down, track-prepped sibling turns the dial up to 11. Improved aero parts, tuned suspension, roll cage and modified bodywork set the two apart on and off the track.

Two such Civic Type Rs made a strong showing during the weekend, one placing 3rd and the other breaking into the top 10!

The 2023 Rebelle Rally is Underway

October 12th launched this year’s Rebelle Rally; a female only, off-road excursion of more than 1,500 miles. The race spans over 8 days and features terrain of various difficulty through mountainous environments. This year, Honda provided three vehicles to compete, a 2024 Honda Passport TrailSport, and two 2024 Honda Pilot TrailSports.

Prototype Autonomous Work Vehicles

If you have taken any flights or watched the news much this year, you may have heard about the shortage of necessary supporting staff at airports around the world. A team of engineers at Honda wanted to create an autonomous vehicle to help work with employees to boost productivity and reduce required menial tasks. Debuting at the Toronto Pearson Airport, the AWV performed well at delivering materials and travel along predetermined routes safely and accurately.
