Honda Civic wins Green Car Award

Honda's staple sedan, the Honda Civic, was named to the 10 Best Green Cars of 2012 by kbb.com earlier this month. Attributes like value, features and comfort all went into kbb.com's editors considerations as not just fuel efficiency was the reason to win.

"The 2012 Honda Civic sedan is the complete package for any consumer, and one that also provides a host of fuel-efficient powertrain options," said Art St. Cyr, vice president of corporate planning for American Honda, in a released statement. "We're delighted that Kelley Blue Book's kbb.com editors acknowledged the most versatile offering in the class."

The editors of kbb.com also had words of praise for the Civic in the statement, namely the many model options the car has to offer this year.

Honda has Best Retained Value for second straight year

Edmunds.com has awarded Honda the 2012 Best Retained Value award for a second consecutive year. According to Edmunds.com, the awards recognize brands and models that have the highest projected residual value after five years, expressed as a percentage of their True Market Value.

"Honda's focus on retail sales has always benefitted our most important client: Honda customers," said John Mendel, executive vice president of sales for American Honda, in a released statement. "This valuable award from Edmunds.com is recognition of Honda's unending mission of providing true value to customers - one that extends well beyond the showroom."

Four Honda vehicles, the Honda Civic, Honda CR-V, Honda Odyssey and Honda Civic Hybrid were all recognized in their categories for Best Retained Value, with the Honda Fit earning an honorable mention.

"Honda has long had a reputation for dependable used vehicles, and that is reflected in today's booming used car market," said Joe Spina, director of remarketing at Edmunds.com, in the statement. "Honda's family of vehicles continues to expand the company's status as one of the best values available to car buyers today."

Crosstour Concept aims to impress

Last week at the New York International Auto Show, Honda revealed the 2013 Crosstour Concept, a mid-size CUV that will go on sale at Honda Mall of Georgia this fall.

The 2013 Crosstour will be available with a V6 and six-speed automatic transmission, with a four cylinder version optional.

"Fueled by a combination of versatility, luxury, and efficiency, owners have demonstrated remarkable devotion to the Honda Crosstour," said John Mendel, executive vice president of sales for American Honda, in a released statement. "The 2013 Crosstour Concept shows how Honda will strengthen the styling and add even more content to one of the most efficient offerings in the class."

Design status

The Crosstour Concept has been restyled to provide a mean front-end and clean rear fascia. The mid-size crossover will look more SUV-like with a new rear-fender finish.

The new grille is bolstered by new integrated foglamp treatments and a slotted finish beneath the headlights. Sporting 18-inch alloy wheels, the Crosstour Concept is painted a similar color to the two new shades available with the 2013 Crosstour.

Honda says the interior will feature heavily revised trim materials and an 8-inch in-dash information display, keyless ignition and steering wheel mounted paddle shifter on the V6 models.

Two powertrains will be available in the 2013 Crosstour: a 3.5-liter, 24-valve, SOHC, i-VTEC V6 engine or a 2.4-liter i-VTEC inline four cylinder engine, according to Honda. The V6 models will have a six-speed automatic transmission and Honda Variable Cylinder Management to improve fuel economy. Honda's Real Time 4WDTM system, which sends power to all four wheels when front-wheel slippage is detected, will be available on the Crosstour EX-L model.

All in the name of safety

Honda has mounted a camera behind the windshield to alert drivers if the car is veering from its lane or to warn drivers of a potential collision in front of them. This camera will be used for the Lane Departure Warning and Forward Collision Warning technology. Honda-exclusive LaneWatch blind-spot display is another safety option which uses a camera system mounted on the passenger mirror for a better view of the passenger-side roadway. An ExpandedView Driver's Mirror will also be standard on the Crosstour. Other standard features include an auto dimming rearview mirror, auto on/off headlights, Bluetooth HandsFreeLink and USB audio interface. A hard-drive based navigation system, Pandora Radio interface, XM Satellite radio and an SMS text-to-speech function are other available features, according to Honda.

The 2013 Crosstour will be available later this year at Honda Mall of Georgia and we'll keep you updated on any more information about the new Crosstour!

Honda Mall of Georgia is home to the Most Trusted Brand

Honda has been named the Best Value Brand and Most Trusted Brand in the 2012 Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards. Consumer perception data from KBB's Brand WatchTM study was used to honor the auto brands that have most successfully captured positive consumer attention. Honda Mall of Georgia is proud to know we're a brand you trust.

"We are honored to accept two awards that point so directly to Honda's core tenets," John Mendel, America Honda's Executive Vice President of Sales, said while accepting the awards at the New York International Auto Show. "With Honda constantly striving to earn trust by providing the finest overall ownership value, it's inspiring to see those efforts resonating with consumers," Mendel said.

This is the second straight year Honda has been awarded by Kelley Blue Book for the Best Value Brand.

"With standout vehicles, memorable marketing and positive word of mouth, the winners of Kelley Blue Book's 2012 Brand Image Awards have secured enviable positions in the minds of in-market shoppers," said Jack R. Nerad, executive editorial director and executive market analyst for Kelley Blue Book's kbb.com, in a released statement.

In the first year awarding the Most Trusted Brand, Honda earned the honor to no one's surprise. The editors of kbb.com commented that "Honda's reputation for superb resale value, exceptional quality and legendary dependability," are why Honda won and that sticker price isn't the only factor when choosing a car.

This is the fifth year Kelley Blue Book has awarded auto manufacturers the Brand Image Awards.
