This Pristine 1999 Honda Prelude Type Sh Could Be Your Ticket To The Classic Honda Life

This pristine 1999 Honda Prelude Type SH could be your ticket to the classic Honda life

I did a double take when I saw this car pop up in our Autoblog Slack channel. Is Honda selling its factory fresh 1999 Prelude Type SH? No, Honda isn't. But somebody in New Jersey is selling one that is identical to the museum piece I covered last year in a retro first drive review.

When I say identical, I mean it, too. Crystal Blue Metallic? Check. Model year 1999? Check. Type SH? Check. Completely stock with nary a flaw to be found? Also check. The only real difference is in the number of miles on this car for sale. It's currently sitting at 28,700 miles, whereas the Prelude Type SH I drove only had 2,400 miles. Either way, they're basically brand new 22-year-old cars, but you can actually buy this one currently up for auction on Cars and Bids.

2022 Infiniti Qx60 Fully Revealed With Vastly Improved Design

2022 Infiniti QX60 fully revealed with vastly improved design

After a "concept" was shown last September, the significantly redesigned 2022 Infiniti QX60 has finally been revealed. And inside and out, it's a huge design improvement. It has a more traditional SUV exterior, with a much more modern and luxurious-looking interior complete with an infotainment system from this decade.

As expected, the production QX60 looks just like the concept, and that's good in our book. It has a boxier, more confident shape but still with the brand's signature curvy detailing. The new two-tone paint is only available on the top-level Autograph trim, though. Interestingly, the new QX60 has the same wheelbase as the crossover it replaces, though it's overall two inches shorter and about an inch taller. Perhaps not surprisingly, the QX60's interior doesn't seem to have changed in size much. Only cargo space has been announced, and while it has 1.4 cubic feet more space with the third row folded, space is down by between 0.4 and 1.4 cubic feet behind the first row and the third row respectively.

2021 Acura Tlx Type S Officially Goes On Sale Tomorrow

2021 Acura TLX Type S officially goes on sale tomorrow


The 2021 Acura TLX Type S is arriving at Acura dealerships tomorrow. After over a decade hiatus here, we'll have an Acura with a Type S badge available to buy once again. It won't be too much longer until the MDX Type S joins the TLX, too.

You can read everything there is to know about the TLX Type S in our first drive review. It's the high-performance model of the four-door sedan, featuring a new 3.0-liter turbocharged V6, sport-tuned suspension and Acura's excellent SH-AWD system. Power is rated at 355 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque. Acura dropped a video (you can watch below) with today's on-sale announcement to dive into some of the nitty gritty details of this new V6.

Toyota Teases 2022 Tundra Interior, Barely

Toyota teases 2022 Tundra interior, barely

Another day, another 2022 Toyota Tundra teaser. This time, we see it from what appears to be the perspective of somebody sitting in the center of the front bench (which is standard on the current truck). This teaser is even more paltry than some we've seen previously, showing more of the outside world than of the truck itself, but hey, such is the slow drip of product information in the digital media world. 

We can now see that the 2022 Tundra will indeed have sun visors. That's good; I hate when the sun gets in my eyes while I'm driving. There's also a stripe on the center of the steering wheel, so you know when you're going straight. Also handy. There's a large screen in the middle of the dash, and this image suggests that it may be able to display a navigation map. Neat. There also appears to be some overhead storage – likely for sunglasses – and perhaps some controls, though we can't see what they are.

Suzuki Jimny Lite Is A Blank Canvas For Off - Road Enthusiasts

Suzuki Jimny Lite is a blank canvas for off-road enthusiasts

One of the most desirable new vehicles for sale right now is the Suzuki Jimny. The compact 4x4 was developed with a "less is more" philosophy, giving off-roaders everything they need to traverse harsh terrain, but with an affordable price and none of the luxo-fluff that many modern trucks come with. Now, Suzuki has announced an even more bare-bones Jimny Lite that delivers exactly what four-wheelers want in a no-nonsense, affordable package.

First and foremost, the Jimny Lite will still offer the same 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine producing 101 horsepower and 96 pound-feet of torque, along with the same low-range four-wheel-drive and ladder frame construction that make the original such a great little off-roading machine. However, while regular Jimnys have a four-speed automatic option, the Jimny Lite will be offered with only one transmission choice, a five-speed manual.

Next Lexus Lx 600 And Lx 750h Specs Reportedly Leaked

Next Lexus LX 600 and LX 750h specs reportedly leaked

Specs for the next Lexus LX appear to have been leaked to a Japanese blog. The flagship luxury SUV will reportedly come in two flavors, and offer greater differentiation from its Land Cruiser cousin than ever before. One of those variants is, for the first time, a hybrid version.

The Japanese site Creative Trend reported on the 300-series Land Cruiser specs before most, and aside from some small discrepancies in horsepower and torque numbers, was surprisingly accurate. They even called the existence of a GR Sport performance trim level. Now, they've turned their focus to the LX.

Subaru Impreza Enters 2022 Largely Unchanged, Drops Limited Sedan

Subaru Impreza enters 2022 largely unchanged, drops Limited Sedan

If there is one carmaker that sticks to a tried and true formula, it's Subaru. Their all-wheel-drive compacts and wagons are as predictable as the day is long (especially now, around the summer solstice). So, it should be no surprise that the Impreza goes into 2022 without any major updates.

In fact, even its pricing structure, starting at $19,720 for the base model including a $925 destination fee, remains unchanged. All trim levels get as standard equipment Subaru's trademark symmetrical AWD system, a backup camera, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Toyota Supra From 'the Fast And The Furious' Sells For Over $500,000

Toyota Supra from 'The Fast and the Furious' sells for over $500,000

If you needed a sign that used car prices are getting out of hand, here you go: Someone spent over half a million dollars on a 27-year-old Toyota this weekend! Kidding aside, this is arguably the most famous Toyota in the world, the 1994 Toyota Supra from not just the original "The Fast and the Furious" but also the sequel (in a different color scheme) "2 Fast 2 Furious." And the selling price was $550,000.

Getting more specific, this car was one of a number of Supras given this look for shooting the film. It is a factory twin-turbo Supra with the stock engine intact. Less exciting is the fact it's an automatic model. But the appeal isn't necessarily in having a serious Supra to drive, but to have a piece of movie history, and it does look just as it did for the first movie.

Acura Is Launching An All - Out Assault On Pikes Peak

Acura is launching an all-out assault on Pikes Peak

Acura is gunning for multiple trophies at Pikes Peak later this month, sending no less than six vehicles to the famed hillclimb event. The fleet consists of two NSX race cars, two TLX Type S race cars, a TLX Type S pace car, and the 2022 MDX Type S making its first public debut.

The all-volunteer team comprising Acura employees will be towing the more potent of the TLX race cars 1,300 miles from its base in Ohio to the Colorado venue with an MDX Type S. While a stock TLX Type S weighs 4,221 pounds, a mass that's pretty close to the 355-horsepower, 354 pound-foot flagship's towing capacity of 5,000, the race car is considerably lighter.
