You don't have to need a truck, to want a truck.

It's likely with this in mind that models like the 2019 Honda Ridgeline and the 2019 Toyota Tacoma were designed, engineered, and produced: the small, everyday truck that maybe couldn't tow a house, but it sure could move furniture from the flea market.

The Tacoma has been around for a while. The Ridgeline is a newer kid on the block. And, the small truck segment seems to be growing every year.

The upcoming 2019 Honda Civic will offer more than just a pretty face:

New for 2019, the popular Sport trim will be available on sedan and coupe body styles. Previously in the tenth-generation Honda Civic, which only debuted a few years ago, the Sport trim was only an option on the five-door hatchback model.

Opening up this availability to other body styles--urban-ready commuter car and sleek and stylish coupe--gives drivers in McKinney and all over Texas counties the chance to get Sport-exclusive designs, features, and value in a package that's more convenient for them.

On Friday, in partnership with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Honda announced another round of Takata airbag recalls, expanded and ahead of schedule. The new round will add more than a million vehicles produced by the Honda brand, in an attempt to reach a full 100% rate of completed repairs.

Why is Honda working so hard to repair and replace ahead of schedule?

While other automakers may take their time getting drivers in for service, Honda aggressively contracted with suppliers and performed strong outreach to be able to contact as many drivers as possible.

The "dad car" might be joining the same ranks as the "dad bod"--maybe not the most impressive, but it gets the job done. But, like the new category of dad bods, the new category of "dad cars" is rooted in realism. Dads need good cars.

And, as Benjamin Preston--a reviewer for The Drive--concluded, the 2018 Honda Civic is a sensible, fun, and entertaining car for new dads.

Honda pulled a pretty major overhaul on its legendary Civic compact car just a few years ago for the 2016 model-year, so we're not expecting any big changes for 2019.

However, since this is the fourth year in the tenth-generation run, it's not surprising to see some big refreshes coming in to keep the iconic Honda Civic on top.

While some cars are meant to come and go, the versatility, quality, and reliability of the Honda Odyssey full-size minivan make it the type of vehicle that's meant to stay.

What better way to do that than to send the Honda Odyssey out on some summertime adventures?
