Honda Mall of Georgia: Safety features improving with rearview cameras

In a move to enhance driver visibility and confidence on the road, Honda has announced they will begin installing rearview cameras on many of their 2013 models. According to Honda, more than 94 percent of the model lineup will be equipped with rearview cameras, with 100 percent of Honda's truck lineup (Crosstour,  CR-V, Odyssey, Pilot, Ridgeline) having the equipment. The CR-Z, Accord and Crosstour will also have the cameras come standard, Honda says.

"At Honda, we feel that this visibility feature will be important to many families and we're widely applying it even before we may be required to do so," said Vicki Poponi, assistant vice president of product planning for American Honda, in a released statement. "In addition to the wide application of the rear-view camera technology, Honda is also introducing several new features for enhanced driver safety, visibility and security in model-year 2013."

Honda wants to provide drivers with 360-degree visibility with technologies and rearview cameras are but a small element in that movement. Other initiatives like Honda's new Forward Collision Warning and Lane Departure Warning systems will be available on the 2013 Accord and Crosstour. Cameras placed behind the windshield warn drivers of possible collisions or if the car is unexpectedly veering from its lane.

Standard on the 2012 CR-V is another new feature, the Expanded View Driver's Mirror and the Honda-exclusive LaneWatch blind-spot display. A camera mounted on the passenger mirror allows an enhanced view of the passenger-side roadway and is the basis of the LaneWatch technology. This safety feature will debut on the 2013 Accord as well as the 2013 Crosstour.

Honda Mall of Georgia: Multiple models tops in Satisfaction and Scoring

Multiple Honda models have claimed awards from AutoPacific's 2012 Vehicle Satisfaction Awards and Total Car Score's inaugural Top Scoring Car Awards, Honda announced this week.

The 2012 Honda CR-V, Honda Odyssey and Honda Pilot all earned the AutoPacific Vehicle Satisfaction Awards. These awards are based on 75,000 surveys completed by owners of new cars and light trucks in the United State in the first quarter of 2012, according to Honda. Based solely on owner input, the Vehicle Satisfaction Awards are an accurate measurement of how satisfied new car and light truck buyers are with their recently purchased vehicle, Honda says.

The other models selected were the 2012 Honda Ridgeline, Honda Fit, Odyssey and CR-V and they won the Total Car Score's inaugural Top Scoring Car Awards, Honda reports. Total Car Score uses a ranking formula which takes the ratings from trusted automotive sites converted into a simple percentage, according to the Honda statement. Then, the ratings are translated to a single Total Car Score for quick and easy comparison for car shoppers.

"It's fantastic to have so much of Honda's outstanding product line represented in these awards," said Michael Accavitti, vice president of marketing operations for American Honda, in a press release from Honda Motors. "AutoPacific's awards tell us we're creating truly satisfied owners, and the Total Car Score awards demonstrate how widely and well regarded Honda's products are among top authoritative sites."
