Next Gen Accord spy photo

We (TOV/TOVA) have published spy photos of what is believed to be the new Accord, being tested on the streets in the U.S. The car caught on photo will be the U.S. version but from history, it is known that other than Japan and Europe, the rest of the world will be getting a variation of this model, including most of asia.

One of my facebook buddies posted this on his wall, an article which talks about how the Acura supercar that is featured on the Avengers movie and driven by Tony Stark was made. I think you would be interested if you have not already read the article.

Honda CR-Z Review is out.

My initial review of the CR-Z is finally finished. There was a slight delay in getting it published on TOVA but it is finally up as at yesterday night.

BOSS Article : Part 7 Final.

I think it is a good time to conclude the BOSS article thread so here is Part 7, the final part. Again, here is the link to TOV forums Part 7 thread.

One final note, the article was in the January 2012 issue of the BOSS magazine and since it is now May, do bear in mind some of the comments of the article is a little bit dated.

Furthermore, it is my opinion that the ending of this article seems a bit abrupt, even stunted and rushed through. It almost seems as if the author has gotten impatient and decided to end the article immediately. Nevertheless, this article has been bold in the sense that it addresses numerous issues that many Honda hardcore fans and even some Honda employees have been unhappy about. It certainly has been thought provoking.
