Honda UNI-CUB Participating in Hackathon at San Francisco Tech Expo
To us, the UNI-CUB still kind of feels like a weird and hilariously lazy alternative to walking, in spite of its star turn in a pretty awesome OK Go video.

UNI-CUB β: In No Way A Totally Superfluous Mobility Thing
Hate walking? Heck, who doesn’t.

Honda Civic Type R Gets Hooked on a Feeling in New Ad
We’ve said it once, and we’ll say it again: if Honda ever decides it wants out of the automotive industry rat race, the company should consider trying its hand at filmmaking.
