Honda Updates 2012 Honda Pilot and 2012 Honda Ridgeline

Japanese automaker Honda is refreshing its Pilot and Ridgeline models for 2012. The 2012 Honda Pilot and 2012 Honda Ridgeline models comes with various updates including the refined look and interior updates.

The 2012 Honda Pilot comes with a new and more refined look. The automaker has also given the vehicle  more features to add to its comfort and convenience. The company has designed vehicle in such a way that it delivers the highest EPA fuel economy available in a three-row, 8-passenger SUV, the company had announced.

The vehicle will feature a new fascia with three-bar grille, replacing the thick-chrome gill of the previous model. The Japanese automaker has replaced the five-speed automatic gearbox with a six-speed unit for model year 2012. This updated 2012 Honda Pilot will hit the road starting September 2011.

In the inside, the updated Pilot from the carmaker has updated the interiors so that you can enjoy a slightly massaged cabin with an updated navigation system and stereo. The model will also be available in new colors and wheel options.

When it comes to the 2012 Honda Ridgeline, the Japanese automaker has added a new Sport model to its Ridgeline for the model year 2012. The Ridgeline Sport that will go on sale from November 2011 comes with improvements in style and fuel efficiency. The vehicle introduces popular high-value features consistent with the entry 4-wheel-drive truck segment.

The new Ridgeline Sport model comes with exclusive black 18-inch alloy wheels, exclusive black honeycomb grille, standard fog lights, black headlight and brake light housings, and black mirrors and door handles.

Congratulations to Ryan for continuing to provide excellent customer service.

My car is 8 years old and for 7 1/2 of them I had it serviced at the competition. I was referred to O'Hare Honda and am disappointed in myself for having spent 7 1/2 years at a neighboring Honda dealer that doesn't even compare to the quality service and friendliness of the entire O'Hare Honda staff! From the Service Advisor (Ryan), to the mechanic, to the girl who checked me out, to the guy who put the fluids in my car to the staff member who held the door for me as I left. This group works as a team and makes me feel comfortable servicing my car at O'Hare Honda. And it gets better, the first time I took my car in for repairs, they drove me home because they thought the service was going to take longer then expected, then when I came to pick up my car, and it needed more time to repair, they offered me a loaner, and it wasn't a tin can, it was a car similar to what I was accustomed to driving, all that took the sting out of my car not being ready. They truly care that I am happy!! Don't think twice, check out O'Hare Honda and ask for Ryan Durso because he is AWESOME! O'Hare is lucky to have the caring staff that they have because separately and together they create a WOW experience, and it all starts with Ryan. http://bit.ly/geUxRR

Honda unveils fourth-generation CR-V

Honda has unveiled a new concept which hints at the future direction of its popular CR-V SUV.

The new CR-V Concept, revealed July 25 and set to be officially displayed at September's Orange Country International Auto Show, is likely to bear a close resemblance to the final CR-V model, which will be on US roads by the end of the year.

The Japanese automaker has made the fourth-generation design more aggressive, with deeper sculpting of the body lines and a bolder front with thick three-bar grill and deeply-set headlamps.

The vertical rear taillights of previous CR-V models have also been embedded deeper into the design of the vehicle, with a more three-dimensional style - although this is a concept vehicle, previous models have proved almost identical to their production counterparts upon release.

Along with improved aerodynamics, the new model features a more fuel-efficient engine and is lighter than its predecessors, although exact figures haven't yet been released.

The CR-V is sold globally by Honda and had proved one of the most popular cars in the US, holding the title of the best-selling SUV between 2007 and 2010.

It will be one of hundreds of cars and trucks on display at the Orange Country Auto Show, which begins September 22 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Southern California.

Honda Announces Winner of the Sounds of Civic Competition

 

Honda announced the winner of the Sounds of Civic, a contest which encouraged Facebook fans to submit and vote for original songs inspired by each of the five 2012 Civic models; the Sedan, Coupe, Si, HF or Hybrid.

From eight top finalists, who each won $2,500 in music gear from Sam Ash Music Stores, Jonatan Barahona was selected as the winning artist. Barahona won the hearts of fans and a brand new 2012 Honda Civic with his original tribute, "Forever." A freelance piano player, Barahona used the Honda Civic Hybrid and his passion for the environment as inspiration.

"In the song, I wanted to bring to light Honda's ability to change the world through reliability and environmental responsibility. I believe that sustainable energy is something that we should be pursuing rather than digging ourselves deeper into dependence on fossil fuels," said Barahona. "[To Honda fans] Thank you so much for your votes and your support!"

Not only will Barahona be driving away in a new 2012 Civic, he will be performing his song live at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif. on October 1 as part of the 2011 Honda Civic Tour.

"There were so many wonderful contributions to The Sounds of Civic, but his entry stood out on production, originality, and best captured the spirit of the Honda Civic. Congratulations to Jonatan," said Kurt Antonius, assistant vice president of public relations, American Honda Motor Co., Inc.

2012 Honda Civic Si Takes On New Role As IZOD IndyCar Series Safety Car

The all-new, ninth-generation 2012 Honda Civic Si Coupe will take on new duties as a Safety Car for the IZOD IndyCar Series, beginning on the weekend of the Honda Indy Toronto, July 8-10.

Already a hit with race fans through the Civic Racing Style Sweepstakes, the 201-horsepower Honda Civic Si Coupe was recently transformed by Honda Performance Development (HPD), Honda’s racing subsidiary north of Los Angeles, into an official IZOD IndyCar Series Safety Car.

Modifications to the already high-performance stock Civic Si include Sparco seats and four-point racing harnesses; an HPD high-performance brake system, with four-piston calipers, competition rotors, racing pads, and stainless brake lines; a Honda Genuine Accessory aerodynamic body kit, consisting of front, side and rear under spoilers; and Firestone Firehawk 225/40 R18 tires mounted on Enkei alloy wheels.

An exclusive graphics theme completes the conversion from a showroom Civic Si Coupe to an IZOD IndyCar Series Safety Car. The Safety Car will be driven during IZOD IndyCar Series events by three-time Indianapolis 500 champion Johnny Rutherford.

“The high-performance new Honda Civic Si is the perfect match for the IndyCar Safety Car fleet,” said John Mendel, American Honda executive vice president, auto sales. “With its larger and more powerful 2.4-liter engine and enhancements provided by HPD, it is ready to lead the IZOD IndyCar Series field at the Honda Indy Toronto and beyond.”

Unveiled in April at the New York International Auto Show, the 2012 Honda Civic features more streamlined and expressive “mono-form” exterior styling, wrapped around a spacious cabin with more style and convenience. Available new technology features include an intelligent, Multi- Information Display (i-MID), USB audio interface, Bluetooth® HandsFree Link® and a satellite-linked Navigation System with voice recognition and FM traffic.
