J.S. was highly satisfied with his service from our Service Department!
"I recently had a minor repair done here. Not only was my repair handled promptly, but my car was returned as if the exterior had been detailed by a professional. This was miraculous as when I took it in it had some major hard water spots." - J.S.

2013 Honda CR-Z Revealed Ahead of 2012 Paris Auto Show
The 2013 Honda CR-Z, which is set to get more power, was revealed ahead of its debut at the 2012 Paris Auto Show.
PARIS — The 2013 Honda CR-Z, which is set to get more power, was revealed ahead of its debut at the 2012 Paris Auto Show.
The first full image of the CR-Z was released on Friday. Bits and pieces of the refreshed hybrid were revealed earlier, including such details as restyled alloy wheels, a new instrument panel button marked "S+" and LED headlights.
No powertrain specifications were disclosed, but Honda said "the power of both the petrol engine and electric motor has been increased without comprising fuel economy or increasing exhaust emissions."
Honda said that performance and the hybrid's European on-sale date will be announced at the Paris show.
The 2012 Honda CR-Z hybrid is equipped with a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 122 horsepower. The engine is linked to a standard six-speed manual transmission. The EPA says the 2012 CR-Z with the manual transmission returns 31 mpg in city driving and 37 mpg on the highway.
The revised 2013 Honda CR-Z will go on sale here in the fall, according to Paul Seredynski, an American Honda Motor Co. spokesman. He said that pricing is not yet available.
The 2012 CR-Z starts at $20,485, including a $790 destination charge. The 2012 CR-Z comes in two trim levels, the CR-Z and CR-Z EX.

Jean was very impressive with the service she received working with us!
"I live in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA and one of the first locations we visited was Rancho Santa Margarita Honda. Our visit started with a greeting from one of the sales personnel, in which we expressed that we were just looking and did not need help at that time. During our perusing we were again approached by a sales person which turned out to be the Trade Up Manager, Curtis Lineberry. He understood that we were just looking, would be in the market to purchase in the next 3-4 months and he stated "when you are ready, please see me for any help you might need" at which point he handed us his card. No pressure or hassle." - Jean
A big thanks to Jean for sharing this feedback!Thursday, September 13, 2012

Inc., "2012 is the year of the midsize sedan, and the new Accord will once again solidify Honda's position at the head of the pack."

The Accord Sport targets younger buyers with the addition of 18-inch alloy wheels, fog lights,10-way power driver's seats, a decklid spoiler, dual chrome exhaust finishers, paddle shifters (on CVT models), a stiffer tower strut bar and exclusive suspension and steering tuning.

The 2013 Accord successfully balances fun-to-drive performance with fuel efficiency.

Three Honda models made the top 5 best tailgating vehicles.
2012 Honda Odyssey: The ultimate tailgating machine. Packed full of fan-friendly features, the Odyssey can carry up to eight fans with enough room behind them to pack a small grill. Or, it can carry five fans, collapse the third row and have 93.1 cubic feet for even more storage. The higher trim levels even offer technology features like Honda’s 16.2-inch split screen entertainment system.
2012 Honda Fit: Not every tailgating car needs to be a giant. The Fit is among the most space efficient cars on the market and can handle a lot more than its exterior suggests.
2012 Honda Ridgeline: The Ridgeline’s ace in the hole is a standard 8.5 cubic-foot trunk under the pickup bed, which easily becomes a 225-quart cooler on wheels.
