Honda’s Passport is due for replacement any day now, and now we know that day—well, at least, the general time of year when that day will land (even if we were one model year off!). Honda has announced that the next-generation Passport SUV will arrive early next year, a timeline that we’ve long suspected given the Passport’s three-row Pilot sibling was just redesigned for 2024. It was only a matter of time before the Passport, effectively Honda’s two-row Pilot, would see the same upgrade.

Toyota is a brand that jumped on the trend of SUVs very early on. Some argue that the RAV4 even started the wave of compact SUVs that we see today. Their knack for building capable yet reliable machines not only earned them a mainstream following, but also earned the trust and adoration of many off-road enthusiasts.

Just last year, Honda revealed a Prelude Concept to tease the palates of Honda enthusiasts and Japanese sports car fans and, despite looking like a production-ready model, the Japanese automaker did all but confirm the Prelude's actual return to production.

The world is moving towards electrification and a side effect of this is that traditional gas-powered engines are downsizing. More and more four-cylinder engines are popping up, with forced induction making them just as powerful as the V-shaped engines that they’re replacing. This has, of course, caused quite a stir.
