Looks like the Honda Jazz has been voted the car most likely to hold its value in Britain. While a Honda Jazz in good condition is said to depreciate by just £1,379 after 12 months and 10,000 miles, Parker’s claims a Maybach 62 limousine will lose its owner £127,526 in the same period.

College Hills Honda have a short video (4 min 41 sec) of the 2011 Honda CR-Z (production version) from the NAIAS 2010 (North American International Auto Show). Plenty of threads in the forum here, here, here and here. There is also a general video covering the NAIAS here.

If you haven't heard of it already there is a recall of various models of the the City, Jazz and Fit.

Some good financial news for Honda (and the auto market in general) with strong sales for the last quarter. The car maker has weathered the global downturn better than many of its peers, thanks to the popularity of its fuel-efficient cars like the Civic, a buoyant motorcycle division and a strong position in emerging markets.

Hondatuning Magazine have a review of the 2010 Acura TSX V6. When the Acura TSX first hit U.S. shores, it was immediately branded as Acura's entry-level sport sedan. As with any new car, reviews blanketed magazines and internet sites and the nit picking began. While most writers praised the new offering, citing its long list of positive attributes, the negative points seemed to echo one another.

Perhaps the only not-hideous Acura that's for sale these days.
