They designed the FCV concept, which has a range of 700 km and a top speed of 160 km/h. If the latter ever goes on sale, it will cost no less than $69,000.
Since we have already started talking about Honda, let's remember the top five best models manufacturer.
Honda Civic
It was originally planned that it would be a regular subcompact. But the car became so popular and in demand that in 2001 it moved into the class of mass-produced compact cars. It has come to the point that today there are as many as 9 generations Honda Civic, each of which is steeper than the previous one. We can't help but remember the individual sports models(Civic Type-R, Civic GTi and Civic SiR), which also helped Honda establish its reputation as one of the best automakers.
We decided to find not just a video, but something that leaves a cake from Honda:
Honda Integra
Each of the 4 Generations of Honda Integra boasts excellent handling and power power plant. Over time, the model gained the status of a luxury car and grew into a separate brand called Acura. They say a special “thank you” for this Integra Type-R - a car with a 200-horsepower engine, reinforced chassis, improved suspension, and assembled by hand.
