2013 Honda Fit EV Tested: More Efficient, but Not as Carefree

Ron Sessions — Tue, 07 May 2013 12:23:27 -0400

Weâre quite the fanboys for Hondaâs Fit. Itâs won comparo after comparo, and itâs been named to our 10Best list every year since 2007. Why? It rations fossil fuel with some of the best in the subcompact class while displaying the ability to swallow people and gear like a Shriner car ingurgitates circus clowns. But [...]

2014 Honda Odyssey Video Preview

Lindsay Stall — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 18:21:00 -0400

The 2014 Honda Odyssey isn't glamorous, but once you've seen how family-friendly it can be, it's hard to not see it as functionally good-looking--and having an edge on crossovers in many ways. This year, with the new 2014 model shown at New York, the automaker improves the Odyssey in a number of significant ways that you might not be able to see...

2014 Honda Odyssey Photos and Info: Refreshed Minivan Literally Sucks—It Has an Optional Vacuum [2013 New York Auto Show]

In retrospect, it was crystal clear. When Honda released an image of the Odyssey Logo created entirely from Cheerios to tease the debut of this refreshed 2014 model, every single family man in the office should have made the obvious connection. Curiously, it was one of young bucks in the office that realized what Honda [...]

2013 Honda Civic EX: Driven

Ed Whistle — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 21:40:00 -0500

The Honda Civic was extensively refreshed for 2012, yet amongst most of us who keep tabs on new cars and how they drive, it was met with a collective âmeh.â There wasn't anything overtly wrong or half-baked with the new and seemingly stark and more conservative Civic; it just didn't have sparkle and shine. Honda knew this too, as...

Honda adding 'Eyes Free' Siri integration in some 2013 cars

Stacy Flint — Wed, 30 Jan 2013 15:39:07 -0500

Automaker Honda today said it plans to integrate Apple's Siri voice assistant in some of its upcoming Honda and Acura vehicles.

On the list is the 2013 Honda Accord, and two Acura models, the 2013 RDX and ILX.

The feature in question is Siri's "Eyes Free" mode, a way to use Apple's iOS voice assistant without having to rely on visual cues, or interact with on-screen menus. The functionality, which was introduced at last year's WWDC, works over Bluetooth and connects through Honda's HandsFreeLink setup just like other mobile phones.

From Apple's own description:

With the Eyes Free feature, ask Siri to call people, select and play music, hear and compose text messages, use Maps and get directions, read your notifications, find calendar information, add reminders, and more.

Honda is the latest company to offer integration with Apple's software. Last November Chevrolet announced plans to include the feature in its Spark and Sonic automobiles.

Siri is now available on all of Apple's portable products, short of some iPod models, and its Mac computers. The feature requires an active Internet connection t... [Read more]
