Why Did Honda Just Restore a Chevrolet Pick-Up Truck?

Shortly after American Honda Motor Co., Inc. (AHM) first opened for business in 1959, the company purchased a small fleet of Chevy pickups to deliver motorcycles to its fledgling dealers across Southern California. Underscoring their importance during those early days, American Honda restored a truck to help celebrate Honda’s 60th anniversary in the United States.

With the school season just starting parents are now taking the time to shop around for supplies to complete their kids’ back-to-class experience.

Study Says If You Want Cleaner Emissions Forget Electric Vehicles and Go Hybrids

With automotive battery capacity currently scarce, expensive, and suffering supply problems, the deployment of this limited resource is critical to maximizing carbon dioxide reduction. And the most effective way to reduce global vehicle emissions for the foreseeable future is not full battery electric vehicles (BEVs), but mass adoption of hybrid vehicles.

In the story of which came first: the SUV or the pick-up, the common answer would be: the pick-up. This is true for just about every offering in the market today except for one: the Musso. Leave it to a brand like SsangYong to think outside of the box and engineer a truck out of their mid-sized SUV. With that, it feels like an SUV trapped in a truck’s body; and for the typical Filipino pick-up buyer—the one that looks for refinement, ride comfort more than payload capacity and off-roading capability—this might as well be the right choice.

The 2019 Mazda3's Interior is a Treat for All the Senses
