Get a first look at the Honda Civic Type R, the European cousin of the Civic Si from the 2006 Paris Auto Show.
The 2006 Honda Civic Si is a real performance bargain that also offers good mileage and emissions ratings. The quality of the electronics is equivalent to that found in much pricier vehicles. Simple standard features fit the car's mission well, signaling
The 2007 Acura RDX is a decent value, with practical interior space and very good drivability. Techies will delight in its cabin systems, but luddites will be overwhelmed by the many buttons and voice commands.
The 2006 Honda S2000 is a pure driver's car designed for those who think that cabin entertainment starts and ends with a short-throw manual shifter. Some bizarre remote controls and a cramped cabin are all but forgotten when the open road beckons.
The 2007 Honda Fit is a well-designed all-purpose vehicle that can tackle a wide range of tasks. It works well as a commute vehicle and for running errands around town, but it isn't good on hills and will make its occupants suffer on longer trips.

2006 Honda Ridgeline Review
The good: The 2006 Honda Ridgeline offers Honda's exceptional voice-command system, XM Satellite Radio, a ULEV-2 emissions rating, and a clever design that maximizes cargo space.
The bad: The simplest tech feature is available with only the priciest Ridgeline trim package, and Bluetooth isn't offered at all. For a truck this size with such limited visibility, a rear-obstacle warning system should be standard.
The bottom line: The 2006 Honda Ridgeline is garnering accolades from many sources, and deservedly so. Thoughtful and rugged design, relative drivability, and a few good tech options make this an easy truck to like.
