Honda Will Supply New Parts for Old Cars, Starting With the NSX
Honda
wants to help you keep your old
NSX
on the road for a very long time. The automaker is starting a new program to supply parts for "some discontinued models." The program launches in Spring 2026, coinciding with a new restoration service that'll use the parts. Naturally, the first car Honda will support is the
first-generation NSX
.
It's unclear what parts Honda plans to supply, but it doesn't sound like they'll all be genuine OEM. The automaker stated it has been "increasingly difficult to supply all genuine parts in old vehicles," and the company calls its new service a supply of "genuine compatible parts," which is different.
"With the cooperation of various business partners, we have been considering the production of alternative parts for parts that can no longer be produced and supplied," the automaker said in its (translated)
announcement
. It sounds like Honda plans to use remanufactured parts, 3D printing, and other methods to expand its supply.
Honda says it will "adopt parts that meet quality standards in terms of function and performance as "genuine compatible parts" and supply them "globally." It has been offering an "NSX Refresh Plan" since 1993, but Honda is discontinuing that service this summer.
The company will expand its restoration service to include "other sports car types," but it's unclear which models it'll add next or when. The automaker says it'll have more details available on the services and parts supply this fall. That'll give you a few months to find a first-generation NSX in need of some TLC.

The 20 Most American-Made Cars of 2025
With tariffs still a hot talking point and prices expected to increase over the next few months, it could make a big difference where your next car is built. That's why the annual American-Made Index is an important tool to use when shopping for your next ride. The American-Made Index uses five different factors to determine just how "American" each car sold in the US is: Location of final assembly, percentage of US and Canadian parts, countries of origin for all engines, countries of origin for all transmissions, and US manufacturing workforce. This year, the study analyzed more than 400 vehicles and narrowed the final list down to 100 models. At the top of the list are the usual suspects: Tesla, Jeep, and even Honda. American brands like Chevrolet and Ford don't crack the top 10, and only one Chevy makes it in the top 20. You can read the full list at —but here's what the top 20 looks like: 20. Nissan Pathfinder 19. Chevrolet Colorado 18. Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid 17. Kia Sportage 16. Acura Integra 15. Honda Accord 14. Acura RDX 13. Jeep Wrangler 12. Honda Pilot 11. Acura MDX 10. Volkswagen ID.4 9. Honda Passport 8. Honda Odyssey 7. Honda Ridgeline 6. Kia EV6 5. Jeep Gladiator 4. Tesla Model X 3. Tesla Model S 2. Tesla Model Y 1. Tesla Model 3 Tesla Tops the Charts Tesla Model 3 Performance As expected, Tesla tops the list with four of its models taking the top four. The Model 3 earns the crown as the most American-made vehicle of 2025 (so far). All of Tesla's vehicles are produced at its Fremont Factory in Fremont, California, with the Gigafactory in Texas also producing Model Ys and Cybertrucks. The Gladiator takes fifth place and is the only Jeep in the top 20, while Kia takes sixth place with the electric EV6. The Kia Sportage also cracks the top 20 in 17th place; both Kia models are produced at the brand's West Point, Georgia, manufacturing facility. Honda has five vehicles in the top 20, with the Odyssey, Pilot, Ridgeline, and Passport all produced at the same manufacturing plant in Lincoln, Alabama. The Honda Accord, meanwhile, is built in Marysville, Ohio. Honda's luxury brand, Acura, also has three vehicles in the top 20: The RDX, MDX, and Integra. The Integra is built alongside the Accord in Marysville, while the RDX and MDX are produced nearby in East Liberty, Ohio. Where Are Chevy & Ford? Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Bison Photo by: Andrew Link | Motor1 While only one of Detroit's Big Three cracks the top 10 (Jeep), Chevy and Ford are nowhere to be found. Only one Chevy model—the Colorado pickup, at 19th—even cracks the top 20. It's produced at Chevy's Wentzville, Missouri, plant. The Ford F-150 Lightning comes in at 22nd, and the Explorer is 23rd. Meanwhile, the Bronco falls all the way to 47th, while the Mustang is even further still at 56th. Outside of the Colorado, the C8 Corvette is 29th, the Suburban is 38th, the Tahoe is 41st, and the Traverse SUV is 73rd. A few Cadillac and GMC models—like the Yukon at 39th and the CT5 at 44th—do at least crack the top 50. The Least-American Made Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid Photo by: Subaru On the opposite end of the spectrum, a handful of vehicles from American brands fall to the bottom of the list. The Jeep Wagoneer L is the 100th most American-made car of 2025. The Toyota RAV4 Hybrid is 99th, the Cadillac Lyriq is 98th, the Nissan Rogue is 97th, the Subaru Crosstrek is 96th, and the Genesis GV70 is 95th. Here's what the bottom 10 looks like: 100. Jeep Wagoneer L 99. Toyota RAV4 Hybrid 98. Cadillac Lyriq 97. Nissan Rogue 96. Subaru Crosstrek 95. Genesis GV70 94. Honda Civic Hybrid 93. Mercedes-Benz GLE350 92. Mercedes-Benz EQE 350+ 91. Mercedes-Benz GLS450 90.

A Dumb Problem Sidelined My IH Scout for 20 Months, My Father-in-Law Fixed It in 20 Minutes
The latest car news, reviews, and features. When I lived in Los Angeles, I kept my fleet of stupid old cars running out of necessity. Let something sit for more than a week, and the parking fines would rack up quickly. But when I moved cross-country to New York's boondocks a few years ago, I devolved into the worst kind of redneck collector. An 'I'll fix it up some day' guy. But no longer—my redemption arc starts this summer. Here's a quick sitrep on the vehicles in my care, from youngest to oldest: 2017 BMW 330 Wagon : Wife's get-around car. No mods beyond Pilot Sport tires, and it's gonna stay that way. Keeping indefinitely. : Wife's get-around car. No mods beyond Pilot Sport tires, and it's gonna stay that way.

If you saw that and thought, 'Man, you got too much going on,' I agree. Don't worry, they don't usually live on the grass. They just had to be moved so a construction vehicle could go through my driveway for a patio project. Andrew P. Collins You see, to ease the pain of being forced to leave sunny Southern California for the soggy Hudson Valley, my wife told me I could collect all the old junkers I wanted to on our handful of acres. So I did, and now I'm ready to admit that was a mistake. If you, too, dream of hoarding cheap cars, let me explain where I went wrong. I have an unfortunate combination of project ADD, hyperfixation, just-OK mechanical skills, and the good ol' fashioned excuse of way too many plates spinning in life and not enough hours in the day. When I get a new vehicle project, I can't just tinker, I need to collect memorabilia, period-correct ads, apparel, mods, etc. Then, when it comes time to do something trivial, like replace an air filter, well, shoot, I've got to pull the whole airbox, clean it up … hang on, now that the airbox is out, I might as well clean that part of the engine bay nobody sees. While cleaning, it occurs to me that some random bracket would really look nicer if I pulled it and repainted it. Heck, now that bracket needs fresh hardware… multiply by eight vehicles. Also, I have a full-time job, a million house-repair projects, and a dog I'd rather play with than do any of the above. Soon, my garage is a mess, my car's inoperable, and yeah. I'm in a hell of my own making. I can't keep living like this. I won't! Andrew P. Collins This is the year I get my projects back under control, and while that sounds like an empty New Year's Resolution platitude, I've actually made decent progress so far. The deck my wife and I have been building for a year is near completion. The pantry remodel we've been talking about will be done this weekend. And I've sold three sets of wheels from my enormous collection of unused autoparts. And, most excitingly, my old Scout is back online. Explaining why that went off the road requires even more context; bear with me a little longer. The previous owner installed the most bizarre aftermarket start-switch setup I've ever seen—to start the truck, you need to flip a three-position toggle from the middle to the bottom, then you can crank it over… with a mailbox key that you insert in the middle of the dashboard. It's connected to a nest of wires that change color over the course of their length. I know it's insane, but it's always worked, and frankly, I'm too scared to mess with it because I'm too lazy to rewire the whole truck (which, realistically, is probably the real solution needed). It looks especially sad right now because, again, my driveway is currently filled with rocks and construction machines for a patio that's going in. Andrew P. Collins Last summer, when I went to start the thing with a charged battery, I got nothing. No crank, no click. I peered under the dash, and my worst fears were confirmed—some of the scary wires were now frayed, surely the work of mice. And I had no clue where to even start putting them back together. 'Er, I'll come back to that later,' and you see where this is going. Whenever is never, and the stupid thing sat and sat. Finally, as winter 2025 thawed, I came to my senses and decided that if I really couldn't work up the courage to fix this truck, I had to send it to a shop and then either sell it or start taking it more seriously. I found a creative mechanic with all kinds of weird crap in the parking lot—everything from old Bimmers to Citroens to JDM vans to a miltary Hummer—and talked to him about my problem. He was confident he could sort me out, but couldn't start until mid-July. Yikes. Andrew P. Collins This is where my father-in-law comes in. My wife's stepdad is a lifelong car guy, boat guy, tractor guy, motorcycle guy. He loves vehicles and currently runs the service department of a BMW store (part of why Bavaria is so well represented in my collection). He chided me for outsourcing the repair. He's far too sweet to taunt, but he (rightfully) pretty much said, 'That ignition's gotta be simple as heck, why pay somebody to fix that?' Why? Because I'm lazy, distracted, and overwhelmed, dangit! Finally, he'd had enough of my foolishness and showed up with a charged battery. It was getting dark, it was starting to rain, and once again, I was not in the mood to mess with the machine. But I had just enough wherewithal to realize—this was my chance. With another dude egging me on and offering earnest expertise, the spark of motivation was lit inside me. So I showed him the wiring. We poked around a little—sure enough, the damaged wires were a lot more obvious and less intimidating once we'd simply pulled the switch from the dash to get a better look. He twisted the right ones together, I dropped his battery in, and sure enough, the thing started cranking as I turned the key. And with a little drop of gasoline from the lawnmower can into the carb, it fired immediately and idled beautifully. We are so back. It's ripe for revitalization, that's for sure. And it's finally time to shed the spray-paint-camo look. Andrew P. Collins There are a few important morals of this story: 'Whenever' means never—don't let your plans be nebulous, or they're never gonna happen. A little help goes a long way—a friend looking over your shoulder can be a spark of motivation. Quality over quantity—don't let your fleet get out of control like I did. And if you do, pare down until the mix is something you can handle. From here, my plan for the Scout is to replace the fluids, replace the tires, make sure the brake lines aren't bleeding, and then it's decision time. Do I keep it and change its look to celebrate its new lease on life, or sell it to focus on the rest of the fleet? Got some project car advice? The author could clearly use it, hit him up at

Helm.ai advances self-driving tech with new vision system
a startup backed by Honda, has unveiled a new camera-based system named Vision, designed to interpret complex urban environments for self-driving cars. collaboration with Honda will see its system featured in the 2026 Honda Zero series of electric vehicles, promising a hands-free driving experience where users can safely divert their attention away from the road. The company said, it is also negotiating with various automakers for the integration its technology into mass-market vehicles. CEO and founder Vladislav Voroninski was quoted by Reuters as saying: "We're definitely in talks with many OEMs and we're on track for deploying our technology in production. "Our business model is essentially licensing this kind of software and also Foundation model software to the automakers." The California-based company's vision-first strategy is akin to that of Tesla, which also prioritises cameras over other sensors like Lidar and radar to mitigate additional costs. Despite this, industry specialists argue that supplementary sensors are essential for safety, providing redundancy for cameras that may falter in low-visibility conditions. Companies operating robotaxis, such as Waymo and May Mobility, employ a mix of radar, lidar, and cameras to navigate their environment. which has raised $102m in funding, counts Goodyear Ventures, Sungwoo HiTech, and Amplo among its investors. Vision synthesises imagery from multiple cameras to generate a comprehensive bird's-eye view map, enhancing the vehicle's decision-making and control mechanisms. The system is tailored for compatibility with various hardware platforms from companies such as Nvidia and Qualcomm. This adaptability allows car manufacturers to seamlessly integrate Vision into their vehicles' existing systems, which are already equipped with proprietary technologies for predicting and planning vehicle movements.
