...Vietnam's population, though, reform is falling short. Urban residents may be better off than ever, but 51% of the country lives below the World Bank's 2,100-calories-a-day subsistence level. In metropolitan Hanoi, many seem to be able to afford $2,700 for a Honda Dream motorcycle. For peasants, dreaming is as close as they will ever get to that goal. Economic reform is removing them-as well as their urban countrymen-from the socialist dole for health care and education. The rural families can't afford to pay for health care, however, and many...
...very log time. Rudy told me that the test would be a piece of cake, as long as I didn't get the rather large man with the walrus mustache standing across the street. Unfortunately, after several minutes of squirming on my part, Walrus himself approached the Honda. Rudy disappeared and Walrus settled into the passenger's seat...
...fuel-efficiency comeback of American auto makers -- they won the top spot in the last five years -- has been lost to the Japanese. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Top 10 list of gas-savers, released today, the Honda Civic HB/VX offers the best deal on a gallon-of-gas-or-less commute with 47 m.p.g. city and a whopping 56 m.p.g. highway. The good ol' U.S.A., represented by General Motors' two Geo Metro models and Ford's Aspire, took the only three non-Japanese spots. BTW: Owners of the bottom 10 can afford the gas guzzling. Eight...

Although the new compacts like Contour and Cirrus are in the same size bracket as the Honda Civic and the Toyota Corolla, for example, they are squarely aimed at taking away customers from the larger (and more expensive) mid-size Honda Accords and Toyota Camrys. The strategy is to squeeze the popular mid-size Hondas and Toyotas between Detroit's hot compacts and its larger models, like Ford...
...will overtake Japan as the world's biggest auto maker this year, according to a Japanese financial newspaper. The last time the U.S. carried this mantle was back in 1980. But don't expect any whooping victory celebrations: Many cars made here are actually owned by Japanese companies like Honda and Toyota. They've built plants in the U.S. because it's cheaper than shipping the cars from Japan...
