newVideoPlayer("/mosquito-cars.flv", 506, 423,""); Mechanical, car-shaped, giant mecha mosquitoes are attacking! What will the little 2009 Honda Fit do to protect itself from their fuel hungry proboscises plunging into its gas tank? Well, luckily they're stereotypical stand-ins for the stereotype of American gas guzzling whales. Luckily, these monstrosities aren't very smart, as they're passing on 9000 gallons of tanker truck fuel for the 10.6 gallons in the Fit, but hey, they're just mindless fuel pests like the stereotype of the companies that spawned them, so what do they know?

We love Bridge To Gantry . The Nürburgring-obsessed site now has video of Honda's Godzilla-hunting 2010 Acura NSX replacement ripping up the track, and the scream coming from the tailpipes sounds fantastic. We expect the sonorous mill is a 5.5-liter i-VTEC V10 that should make about 550 HP and 420 lb-ft of torque, but you should check out the video after the jump to judge for yourself. 2010 Honda NSX replacement at the Nürburgring Nordschleife from MrBTG on Vimeo .

Our gadget-obsessed brothers at Gizmodo got us the scoop yesterday on Honda's Asimo taking a run at the job of conductor of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra two nights ago. Little did we know Jalopnik friend of friends Fabrizio Costantini (check out his site — the man's a genius with a camera) was in charge of putting together a little video of the performance. Without further ado, here's Asimo the wonder robot. Enjoy.

newVideoPlayer("78_Honda_Leaded_476.flv", 463, 387,""); Thanks to the magic of the CVCC engine , Honda was able to meet emission requirements for '78 without using a catalytic converter. Oh, sure, cats were installed and the CVCC's smog gear got insanely complicated a few years later, but in 1978 you could experience the Joy of Lead in your new Honda.

newVideoPlayer("honda-clarity-playground.flv", 463, 387,""); Pardon me for being baffled, but something about this latest Honda FCX Clarity ad has me a little puzzled. Rubik's Cubes, geometric puzzles, traditional puzzles, Rube Goldberg machines and a hydrogen-powered Honda? I'll spoil the ending for you: I guess it's all about "solving problems," but until I can stick a garden hose into my car and drive across the state of Texas, Honda isn't solving any problem but confusing the hell out of me with artsy commercials.

newVideoPlayer("goldwing-jet.flv", 463, 387,""); Don't let this slow-speaking man confuse you. He did the impossible and turned a Honda Goldwing, which was previously only a good towing machine , into a freaking fighter jet. The video may be a little long and drawn out, but near the end the inventor lets us into a little secret: he thinks it can fly. He says if you take it up to 80 or 85 on the highway and get in a sticky situation steering, it can get airborne. The purpose of the patriotic Honda Goldwing jet fighter is to supposedly inspire community service. Sorry, but after seeing this I want to go buy a Goldwing, not volunteer at the animal shelter.

newVideoPlayer("RideHondaWoman_gawker.flv", 475, 250); Our resident expert on all things on two wheels claims that this woman's transforming into a Honda CBR something-or-the-other cycle. Look -- don't make fun of me, I know motorcycles about as well as I know women's fashion. Which is to say -- well, do I even need to explain that one? Who do you take me for? Murilee? Anyway, it's basically a hot woman who transforms into a Honda for no real reason. Maybe it's marketing, maybe it's not. All we know is it makes us want to learn how to ride a bike.

newVideoPlayer("strikenews_defamer.flv", 475, 376); These elite Hollywood liberal execs -- they're so inexperienced when it comes to trying to kill striking TV writers with mid-size SUV's and crossovers. Don't they know better? Everyone out here in the UAW-populated Midwest with real strike backgrounds knows they'll probably only be able to maim with a mini-ute. If you really want to take someone down for good you'll use a full-size SUV or pick-up. Hollywood could learn a lot from auto execs wethinks -- especially as we're the ones who coined " Hollywood Strike " anyway, [ Defamer ]
