Do you know what important event happened in 1945? A senator from Arkansas introduced a bill into the U.S. Congress that would offer opportunities to young people around the world. The senator’s name was J. William Fulbright, and he was the advocate of international student exchange programs.

The purpose, Fulbright stated, was to build goodwill between countries. The proceeds of surplus war property was used to fund the program initially.

Now, let’s fast forward to 2016. Students from Japan's Iwate Prefecture were part of the 2016 TOMODACHI Honda Cultural Exchange Program.

“But you said it was my turn to pick the next movie,” your son whines from the backseat. You glance in the rearview mirror to see him and your older daughter struggling over the DVD player. Feet kick seats, cries are issued and finally, in a moment of desperation, your little guy bites his older sister’s arm.

Traveling with children can be tiring and oftentimes frustrating. It’s hard for them, too. Being stuck in a seat when your body is made for movement is an exercise in vexation.

Having already earned a Top Safety Pick+ designation from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), the Honda CR-V recently received a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score, the highest available, from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP).

Looking at the automotive news gauntlet, you might have noticed that Honda has made some real waves this year. First, it was the launch of the all-new Pilot, followed closely by the tenth-generation Civic and Civic Coupe. Now, it's the 2016 Accord's time to shine, as it's appeared on Car and Driver's 10Best listing yet again.

If you took one look at the two door prototype of the 2016 Civic at the New York Auto Show earlier this way and prayed that the tenth-gen coupe would be in the same vein, you're in luck. The new Civic Coupe was debuted at the LA Auto Show, and looks just as fantastic as the concept, and then some.

Next spring, Honda will launch the next generation of its Clarity hydrogen fuel cell car in the United States. While its introduction will be again limited to California, it boasts a level of technology and refinement as of yet unseen in an H2-powered car. It was unveiled Tuesday at the Tokyo Motor Show, and we'd like to take some time to tell you about it.

So far, the automotive world has had a lot of great things to say about the 2016 Honda Civic. Its design is stunning, and we're stoked to sit inside and sample all the new tech for ourselves when it arrives in dealerships in November. Until then, we've got the next best thing: a first drive report of the compact from the team over at Autoblog.

After the press events for the Frankfurt Motor Show wrap up on September 16th, Honda has quite the treat for us. At simultaneous launch events in Los Angeles and Detroit, the Japanese automaker will unwrap the Civic for our hungry eyes. Now in its tenth generation, Honda has promised us a more diverse car than ever.

Long road trips with the entire family can go one of two ways. It can either feel long and boring, or the experience can turn into something special with the help of Honda innovation. When you pile everyone into the redesigned 2016 Honda Pilot, you'll be surprised at how easy it will be to have a good time.

To see for yourself, check out the video below. Thanks to the Pilot Elite's performance features, one particular family spontaneously bursts out into their own rendition of the song "Buddy Holly."

Over the past couple of years, we've been treated to a barrage of teasers and prototypes for the next-gen Honda Civic Type R. These sneak peeks had U.S. fans of the brand clamoring for news about whether the car would make it state side. Well, it will, and if it's anything like the Euro-spec model, we're in for one heck of a ride.

Plans for when the car will launch in America are sketchy as of yet. Most automotive bloggers believe it will arrive as soon as 2016 as a 2017 model year car. It definitely…
