First drive: 2016 Honda Pilot in the UAE

First drive: 2016 Honda Pilot in the UAE

Honda is better known as a maker of Civics and Accords nowadays, and anyone other than Honda salesmen will have a tough time trying to remember if they sell anything else. However, they do offer a midsize 4×4 called the Pilot, a model that had been chugging along virtually unchanged since the last recession. It wasn’t particularly good at anything either, so we were keen to see how Honda has gone about bringing the all-new 2016 Pilot bang up to date in our all-too-brief time with the car.

Honda slashes Civic, Accord and Pilot prices in UAE


The 2013 editions of the venerable Honda Civic and Honda Accord are pretty darn good cars in their segments, and used to be big sellers in the UAE.

Honda Ridgeline pickup gets 2009 update

Honda Ridgeline pickup gets 2009 update


The Ridgeline was Honda’s first attempt at cracking the pickup truck market in America when it was released a few years back. Unremarkable at everything it does, the Ridgeline is a class leader in a pointless category, being that it drives like a truck, but does not have as much cargo space as a truck, and it sucks at off-roading too. Thank goodness it is not offered in the GCC, since it would’ve become a hit here. But the one sold in America got a refresh for 2009.
