This isn't the only instance of them using a Honda.

Did they ever use a Prius? I remember the Hyundai i30 and Subaru Impreza hatch being quite popular vehicles for a while.

Did they blur it's face for privacy?

Our area too.  You can see me and Ms. Catch22 (with blurred-out faces) out for our daily walk a couple of months back.  I did notice the Google Maps car go by, and checked every so often for the updated images.  Took about 2 months.

It appears the Google Car attempted to finish White Rock Road in Mariposa County five ago but they ran into an obstruction:

Another picture I've managed to determine the exact date it was taken. By reading the menu and comparing on Hahndorf's Gulaschkanonen's Fakebook page I found this image was most likely taken on 2023 August 30, and definitely after August 21 as that location was closed before that date.

Please note that I may mention "invalid" FM channels, i.e. ending in an even number or down to 87.5. These are valid in Europe.

There's a separate "streetview track (blue line)" at the corner of Victoria and Charles in Kitchener from 2011 with Google employees wearing hockey jerseys and waving Canadian flags:
