Honda’s done it again: They made a hybrid car that’s fun to drive and environmentally conscious. The new model is the CR-Z and at first glance, from the rear, it reminds you of the first hybrid Honda introduced, the Insight. This car is not that, it’s a lot more! The CR-Z I drove is the [...]

Here’s a hilarious video I wanted to share with you that spoofs the lingo-heavy way “experts” talk to you about cars.
