Also, there are cars. And planes. And explosions.  The next Fast & Furious movie is almost here, and on Friday we got a peek at its four-minute “teaser” trailer. Beyond the near-fantasy-level automotive hijinks, one thing that jumped out is the crew’s choice in mobile devices. For whatever reason, more than one car has RED’s much-hyped phone strapped to the dash, and this isn’t even the only production to feature that hardware -- the Hydrogen One stood in as an evil plot device in the final season of Marvel’s Runaways. | | It’ll give you range anxiety outside cities, however.  It's a miracle the Honda E is even here, considering how much Honda seemed to hate electric cars. Until recently, Honda (along with Toyota) has focused on hybrid and hydrogen cars, while ceding the EV market to Tesla and others. However, a maverick gang of Honda engineers convinced management to build the Honda E. They even kept the design pretty close to the Urban E concept it's based on, right down to the wild futuristic interior. And it paid off. The compact EV's retro-cute je ne sais quoi (not to mention all the technology inside) has grabbed the attention of car buyers and EV fans of all stripes. Now, all that remains is to see if it's as fun to be in and drive as it looks. Steve Dent took it for a spin. | | But wait, there's more... | | | |
