For a long time, the Civic was Honda’s entry-level car, designed for efficient travel from point A to point B. This small car still meets that need, but the sleek and stylish Civic no longer has the look of an econobox. The Civic may not be the best choice if you’re looking to stand out from the crowd, but this is one of the few downsides to buying one of the best-selling cars in America.

Every year the auto industry renews itself, and the North American International Auto Show in Detroit is where we see it happen. While the concept, or prototype, cars are cool to look at and get the most press, it’s the production vehicles that people will actually park in their driveways, use to get to work, shuttle the kids to soccer practice and haul groceries home from their local Costco. These are the cars that determine what consumers really think about each brand and the ones that determine each company’s success — or failure — for the year to come. While this year’s crop of assembly-line-ready machines is sparse, a few highlights are cause for real optimism. Here are picks for the 10 most notable production cars at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show.

Detroit has been getting a real bad rap in the press these days. But believe it or not, there’s actually some good news coming out of the Motor City this week, as the North American International Auto Show rolls into town. Surprisingly, the atmosphere during the media preview days could be described as cautiously optimistic.

Now as first impressions go, and in stark contrast to Honda’s “big shed”, the Odyssey certainly makes a good one.
Gathering at Honda’s Melbourne HQ on a damp Friday morning a group of Australia’s motoring media was met with a garage full of fourth generation Odysseys all prep , polished and ready to embark on an odyssey all of our own.

Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are decades away from being mass-production reality, but we can already tell you what one is like to drive.
The car of the future still starts with a key
There’s just a muted whirring, though, as you twist the key to the “on” position and press the “start” button, primary colours illuminating the instrument panel ahead and the display stating simply: “Ready to drive.” There’s more convention to flicking the small dash-mounted transmission lever to D, depressing the foot-operated parking brake and applying pressure to the throttle pedal, but from there driving the Honda FCX Clarity hydrogen fuel cell vehicle is an experience of the slightly abnormal variety.
