Honda recently handed the keys to an FCX Clarity Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle to 2012 Canadian Olympic hockey team captain, Scott Niedermayer at the Honda Center in Anaheim. More FCX Clarity Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle are now in the hands of Southern California drivers. the Honda FCX Clarity is an electric vehicle. A fuel cell vehicle is powered by an electric motor running on electricity generated by a hydrogen-powered fuel cell stack. The more efficient Honda E-Drive electric motor lets you drive with peace of mind knowing that you are helping to reduce the amount of CO2 being released in our atmosphere. The compact coaxial motor is quieter and can run at higher rpm, for greater efficiency and speed.

2012 Honda FCX Clarity

2012 Honda FCX Clarity

The new 2012 Honda FCX Clarity is compact car, high-efficiency lithium-ion battery pack is used as a supplemental power source capturing lost energy during deceleration and braking. The new lithium-ion battery delivers improved performance and energy recovery in a more lightweight, compact package. The new battery is significantly lighter and smaller than the ultra-capacitor of the 2005 FCX, allowing it to be stowed under the rear seat. This gives the car more passenger space and a bigger trunk.



 The interior of the FCX Clarity FCEV has a clean, inviting feel accomplished with naturally warm earth-tone colors. Silver accents with piano-black finish complete the distinctive markings of this highly evolved species. The advanced technology on this car isn’t all reserved for the powertrain. A Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System with voice recognition and rearview camera helps you coming and going and it even finds your nearest hydrogen station. XM Radio† and an MP3/auxiliary input jack in the center console rock your world. Even the glove compartment is outfitted with Honda’s USB Audio Interface.

The ninth-generation 2012 Civic introduces a sleeker style and higher fuel-efficiency than the previous generation. The Civic range consists of sedans and coupes powered by conventional gasoline, high-performance, hybrid, and compressed natural gas engine choices. Technology and features new to the Civic include an available "intelligent" Multi-Information Display (i-MID), an available Eco Assist™ system and a new Motion-Adaptive Electronic Power Steering (EPS) system that works in conjunction with Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA; VSA and EPS are included as standard equipment on all models. All Civic models achieve higher EPA fuel economy ratings1 compared to the 2011 models, up by as much as 8 percent on the highway in Civic Sedans and Coupes equipped with automatic transmissions.
For 2012 Honda Civic Sedan, the Navi system includes FM traffic, a subscription-free service that alerts you to traffic conditions (available on EX and above). The available Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System with voice recognition guides you to your destinations. The Civic offers the brisk performance of a 140-hp, 1.8-liter, 16-valve, SOHC i-VTEC engine that has been refined for 2012 with many friction-reducing and airflow improvements. Weight-saving technologies, improved aerodynamics and engine modifications result in a new Civic with some impressive new EPA ratings. The 2012 Civic Sedan now achieves 28 city/39 highway mpg. Plus, increased structural rigidity makes for more responsive handling.

The new Civic has new tricks, not the least being the new intelligent Multi-Information Display (i-MID) (LX and above). The intelligent Multi-Information Display (i-MID) quickly communicates vital info such as fuel consumption, as well as Bluetooth HandsFreeLink and turn-by-turn directions for models equipped with available navigation system.

2012 Honda Civic Sedan

2012 Honda Civic Sedan

The Civic LX features a 160-watt audio system with 4 speakers, while the EX model and up offers a 6-speaker system. A USB Audio Interface plays your tunes while it keeps your portable music device fully charged (LX and up). The USB Audio Interface is used for direct connection to and control of some current digital audio players and other USB devices that contain MP3, WMA or AAC music files. Some USB devices with security software and digital rights-protected files may not work.

The Pilot is Honda's mid-size crossover utility vehicle, offering a rugged look combined with a very passenger-friendly package and surprisingly good on-the-road performance.

Four-wheel-drive models can tow up to 4,500 pounds.

From a practicality standpoint, the interior of the Honda Pilot interior brims with cubbies, holders, and bins for accoutrements of all sorts.



The 2011 Honda Pilot’s strengths are a spacious third-row seat, lots of storage cubbies, and a powerful engine, but it can’t keep up with competitors when it comes to interior quality and braking performance.



Along with its spacious third row and excellent safety scores, the Pilot boasts a powerful V6 engine and impressive towing capacity. It also comes with three rows of seats (though it seats seven rather than the Pilot’s eight) and boasts a better 19/25 fuel economy rating.



At a glance, the "Honda Pilot" would seem to do a fine job as a family hauler. In sum, we think the Pilot is an adequate choice for a midsize or large crossover SUV. The 2011 Honda Pilot is a midsize crossover SUV offered in four trim levels: LX, EX, EX-L and Touring. Each is available with either front- or all-wheel drive. The EX adds 17-inch alloy wheels, foglights, painted body molding (versus black plastic), roof rails, heated exterior mirrors, an eight-way power driver seat (with two-way power lumbar), steering-wheel audio controls, tri-zone automatic climate control, an in-dash six-CD changer, and satellite radio. Optional on the EX-L is a rear-seat DVD entertainment system and a voice-activated navigation system bundled with Bluetooth, an iPod interface and a 10-speaker premium audio system.



Powertrains and Performance

The Honda Pilot is motivated by a 3.5-liter V6 that generates 250 horsepower and 253 pound-feet of torque. Front-wheel drive is standard, but all Honda Pilot models are available with an all-wheel-drive system that automatically apportions power to the rear wheels -- up to 70 percent -- when front slippage occurs. This system also has a driver-selectable "lock" feature that routes maximum torque to the rear wheels at speeds below 19 mph.



Still the Pilot's EPA estimates of 17 city/23 highway mpg and 19 mpg combined (16/22/18 for AWD models) are merely average for this segment.



Safety

Standard safety equipment includes stability control, front-seat side airbags and full-length side curtain airbags. In the government's new, more strenuous crash testing for 2011, the Honda Pilot earned an overall rating of four stars out of a possible five, with four stars for overall frontal crash protection and five stars for overall side crash protection.The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety likewise awarded the 2011 Honda Pilot its top "Good" rating for both frontal-offset and side-impact crashes.



Interior Design and Special Features

Mimicking the Honda Pilot's utilitarian exterior styling, the interior features a rugged and blocky theme. The Honda Pilot also keeps stride with the competition with its roomy third-row seats.



Driving Impressions

In terms of performance, the Honda Pilot is burdened by a lack of power and a hefty curb weight. On curvy roads, the Honda Pilot also feels rather cumbersome. In our testing, however, that positive feel ran counter to the Pilot's rather long stopping distances.

The 2011 His all about utility. An added plus, if you need more utility, is that the Element’s interior is easy to clean. Like the Honda Element, the Forester features a practical interior. It starts at a few hundred dollars less than the Element, and has all-wheel drive standard (an all-wheel drive Element costs about $2,000 more than the base Forester). Part of the Honda E’s appeal isn’t its practicality, but its styling. If you love the Element’s squared-off looks but don’t need its cavernous space and rough ride, check out the Kia Soul.



The 2011 Element comes in two trims, LX and EX, both of which are available in front- or all-wheel drive (Honda calls it four-wheel drive). Be sure to check for current Honda Deals that may be available on the Honda E. The "2011 Element" is little-changed from the 2010 model. If you like the Honda E, you'll need to buy one this year. Honda has announced that Element production will end after the 2011 model year.



Inside, the Honda Element is best described as no-nonsense. The Honda E has modest technical specs: a 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 166 horsepower and 161 pound-feet of torque; front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive; and running gear that's evolved in part from the Civic and CR-V parts bin. The 2011 Element has a box-on-wheels design that imbues it with a lot more interior space than models that take up more parking space.



And with its suicide-door (front-hinged front door and rear-hinged back door) setup, high roof and low cargo floor, it's seriously spacious. While most other vehicles of the Honda E's size have five seats, the Honda seats just four, and the two backseats are quite small. The 2011 Honda Element comes with a rather basic set, though options like premium sound and a nav system can be had, along with a Dog Friendly Element package. Top crash-test ratings and a good set of safety equipment complete the Element's "get 'er done, safely" mindset.



The 2011 Element represents the final model year for the original box-shaped crossover; decreasing sales mean there won’t be a 2012 Honda Element. Except for a mild model-year 2009 facelift, the 2011 Element is the same shipping-container-shaped wagon introduced as a 2003 model. Should you buy a Honda Element?



We initially reported that the 2012 Element would kick off this crossover’s second-generation design. Bottom line, it’s clear the 2011 Element’s design appeals to a shrinking number of buyers. The 2011 Honda Element styling is unchanged, though the sporty-trimmed SC model is dropped, leaving behind base LX and uplevel EX versions of this slab-sided four-seater. On the downside, every rival has four conventional side doors. Element, by contrast, uses long front doors in combination with quarter-sized rear doors hinged at the back. You can’t open a rear door unless a front is already open and can’t close it unless a front is already shut. Except for their wheels, the 2011 E LX and 2011 Element EX models are virtually indistinguishable visually. Both use the same size tires on 16-inch wheels, though the EX comes with alloys and the LX uses steel wheels with wheel covers. Gone for model-year 2011 is the Honda Element SC model, which affected a “street custom” look with lowered ride height, 18-inch alloy wheels, and a monochromatic exterior color scheme.

The Civic Si Concept coupe and Honda Civic Concept sedan made their world debuts at the 2011 North American International Auto Show, providing the first official glimpse at the styling direction of the all-new, ninth-generation 2012 model set to go on sale this spring, the company announced.



"The Civic is known for providing a balance of 'just-right' packaging, fun-to-drive character and outstanding fuel economy, at a price that even first-time buyers can afford," said John Mendel, executive vice president of sales for American Honda. "The redesigned Civic builds on this legacy and promises to be the best Civic yet."



The 2012 Civic embraces the company's vision as a "Civic for all people," a phrase originally expressed in defining the goal of the first-generation Civic. With the widest array of engine choices available in its class, the 2012 Civic lineup intends to meet the needs of an increasing group of compact-vehicle buyers with a renewed vision of a "Civic for all people." The diverse vehicle range includes a sedan and a coupe with conventional gasoline models, two sporty "Si" performance versions, along with one hybrid and a natural gas alternative-fuel variant. Collectively the depth of the Civic line offers a compelling balance between fuel economy, low emissions and fun-to-drive performance unlike any other vehicle in the industry.



As a new interpretation of the current Civic's iconic "one-motion" mono-form shape, the upcoming, ninth-generation Civic conveys a more substantial, high-energy appearance. The exterior styling of both Honda Civic concept models showcases the sedan's and coupe's clean-yet-powerful lines with steeply raked windshields, wide stances and pronounced character lines along the profile. The lower character line on both models broadens toward the rear fenders to enhance the dynamic feeling of forward energy. The front fender surface treatments form a complex, three-dimensional look to further enhance the image of sophistication and structural depth against the deeply set headlights.The Honda Civic Concept sedan takes on a sophisticated presence with a front grille defined by crisp lines and a solid bar that integrates a chrome Honda emblem. The look of the Honda Civic Si Concept coupe conveys an aggressive demeanor with a more angular front fascia, mesh grille and a tapered rear roofline that flows smoothly into the trunk. The Honda Civic Si Concept coupe is exclusively equipped with a rear air diffuser, a center-mounted exhaust outlet and a rear deck lid spoiler with dual vents. Each concept model has 19-inch machined alloy wheels.



Powertrain Technology



The Civic's family of engines with "intelligent" Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (i-VTEC®) technology become even more fuel efficient for 2012. The upcoming Civic Hybrid offers the latest generation of the compact and lightweight Integrated Motor Assist™ (IMA™) gasoline-electric hybrid system and features the first application of a lithium-ion battery in a Honda hybrid.



Building on its emphasis on fuel-economy, most upcoming Civic models receive Honda Eco Assist™ technology, already available in the CR-Z and Insight hybrids. The 2012 Civic is the first U.S. Honda model to employ Eco Assist technology in a gasoline-only powered vehicle. Eco Assist is just one example of how the new Civic can be customized and configured by the drivers to suit individual preferences.



Additionally, Honda is expanding retail sales of the natural gas-powered Civic GX model, which is the only OEM-built, dedicated CNG passenger car assembled in America. The increased availability of the Civic GX helps bring inherently clean-burning natural gas technology to an even broader audience while also supporting diversity in transportation energy resources.



Safety



The 2012 Civic continues to emphasize safety and is anticipated to score well in both the federal government's New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) vehicle evaluations. The 2001 Honda Civic Coupe was one of the first two passenger cars ever to earn the federal government's top 5-star crash safety rating for the driver and front- and rear-seat passengers in both frontal and side-impact crash tests.



All 2012 Civics are equipped with Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) as standard equipment. Additionally, the ninth-generation Civic continues to provide Honda's exclusive and innovative Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure for frontal collision energy management.

Harley-Davidson has dominated the AMA’s Grand National Championship since the inception of the series in 1954. But there was a time in the mid-1980s when Honda took over as the series king—winning four championships in a row.


This actually was Honda’s second attempt at building a flat-track bike. The first was the NS750, based on a bored-out version of Honda’s street-going CX500 motor. The company campaigned that bike in 1981 and ’82, and it managed to win one race.

Then Big Red used all it had learned to create the purpose-built RS750 for the next season. The new dirt-tracker made several shakedown runs in the 1983 Grand National Championship, even winning the Du Quoin Mile with rider Hank Scott at the controls.

By 1984, Honda was ready to go championship-hunting in earnest. The company hired ’82 champ Ricky Graham and Bubba Shobert to make a full assault on the title aboard RS750s...

This SL350 has been restored, it has a rebuilt engine and a new clutch, all seals and gaskets replaced. The frame was bead blasted and painted and 99% of all rubber parts replaced. The fuel tank is new as is the fuel cap and shut off valve. New tires an all new control cables... Read more

The 2011 Honda CR-Z Is Body compact and simple Honda Integrated Motor Assist IMA system adds power and efficiency with an electric motor. The CR-Z’s 1.5-liter, 16-valve i-VTEC 4-cylinder gasoline engine combines with an electric motor to provide 122 horsepower and 128 lb-ft of torque6 (123 lb-ft CVT). Perfect for driving in the city, the IMA’s instantaneous torque at low rpm means quick off-the-line acceleration. The 2011 Honda CR-Z is a 2-door, 2-passenger sports coupe, available in 6 trims, ranging from the Base 6M to the... read more EX CVT w/ Navigation. The Base 6M is equipped with a standard 1.5-liter, I4, 122-horsepower, hybrid engine that achieves 31-mpg in the city and 37-mpg on the highway. A 6-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard. The EX CVT w/ Navigation is equipped with a standard 1.5-liter, I4, 122-horsepower, hybrid engine that achieves 35-mpg in the city and 39-mpg on the highway.

2011 Honda CR-Z

The world’s first 6-speed production hybrid, CR-Z’s sporting credentials include a 6-speed manual transmission a claim true of very few sport coupes, much less hybrids. at 37 combined mpg (35 city/39 highway), the CVT-equipped CR-Z is one of the most fuel-efficient vehicles on the road today. Not far behind is the manual- transmission model, which gets an EPA-rated 31 city/37 highway/34 combined mpg. Equally impressive is the AT-PZEV emissions rating in states that adhere to California Air Resource Board (CARB) Zero-Emission Vehicle regulations.

The 2011 Honda CR-Z isn’t just a means to get from point A to point B. This is a car designed to create an emotional bond with its driver. And its interior is a place you’ll want to return to over and over again.  The thick, leather-wrapped 3-spoke steering wheel (EX) adds to the performance attitude of the interior. The combination of the tilt and telescopic steering column with the seat-height adjustment means you will undoubtedly find the perfect driving position.

2011 Honda CR-Z

The interior design draws inspiration from numerous sources. The instrument panel and gauges borrow cues from fighter jets and touch-screen mobile devices. There’s even a dash of 3-D. The result is simultaneously cutting-edge yet classically simple.The new 2011 Honda CR-Z technology designed to enhance the driving experience. The controls and gauges allow you to keep your hands on the wheel and eyes on the next apex. The USB Audio Interface can read flash drives loaded with MP3 or Windows Media (WMA) music files.

Stylish, lightweight and durable, the textured-aluminum pedals found on EX models are optimally positioned for heel/toe downshifting. How many hybrids can say that? Bluetooth Hands Free Link on EX models keeps you connected to those who matter most. Aanswer cell- phone calls without taking your eyes off the road or hands off the wheel. The CR-Z includes a 160-watt audio system with 6 speakers, while EX models kick it up to a whopping 360 watts with 7 speakers, including an 8" subwoofer. The available Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System (EX) is renowned for being fast and intuitive. And something you’ll find you just can’t live without. The voice-recognition feature recognizes numbers, street names and cities, in addition to more than 600 voice commands.

2011 Honda CR-Z

What mode are you in? Ssometimes you don’t know until you get behind the wheel. That’s why the CR-Z gives you the choice. Efficient driving may not come naturally, especially if you’re driving a car that likes to zip around corners as easily as the CR-Z. Eco Aassist provides real-time feedback so drivers can adapt their habits to consume less fuel and take advantage of regenerative braking. The available Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) allows you to drive the CR-Z more like a conventional automatic but also offers another pulse-quickening way to change gears. Using the paddle shifters mounted on the steering wheel, the driver can shift through seven simulated gear ratios at will.

The New 2011 Honda CR-Z is committed to providing safety for everyone – that means crash protection not only for our own drivers and passengers, but also for the occupants of other vehicles, and injury mitigation for pedestrians. We are dedicated to identifying and implementing advanced designs and features that help enhance the safety of vehicles on the road. The side curtain airbag module is positioned along the side of the headliner.In the event of a sufficient side impact, this system will activate to help provide protection for all occupants.

2011 Honda CR-Z Interior

Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) helps sense oversteer or understeer in an emergency situation, and then adjusts brake pressure at each wheel and/or reduces engine power to help restore driver control.
advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) enhances occupant protection and crash compatibility in frontal collisions by utilizing a network of connected structural elements to distribute crash energy more evenly throughout the front of the vehicle. Both the driver and passenger are protected by advanced front airbags that incorporate dual-stage, multiple-threshold technology. If deployed, these airbags are capable of being inflated at different rates, depending on crash severity, seat-belt usage and/or other factors. Iin

The Brake Aassist feature helps apply full braking in some emergency situations, and Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) can distribute brake force among the four wheels based on how much load each wheel is bearing.

The expandable cargo area has up to 25.1 cubic feet of stowage. The rear cargo console behind the front seats provides a quick place to store things like a computer case. Folding the console hides these items while also creating a flat floor for transporting larger objects. a low center of gravity, wide tread and a compact overall height contribute to the 2011 CR-Z’s excellent handling. These virtues, together with specially tuned independent front and torsion-beam rear suspension, combine for an invigorating blend of agility, stability and ride quality.

Vehicle information is displayed within the Multi-Iinformation Display (MID) and can be toggled through by pressing the button on the steering wheel or on the instrument panel. The data includes:
• IMA system power flow indicator • Eco Guide and Eco Sscoring • Digital fuel-mileage indicators • A average fuel economy, average speed and elapsed time indicators • Miles-to-empty indicator • Exterior temperature indicator. The All Models New 2011 Honda CR-Z Prices MSRP $19,345 - $23,355.

The all-new 2011 Honda Odyssey is equipped with high-intensity discharge (HID) headlights – a first for any Odyssey. They cast a longer, brighter beam to help light up the night when you’re traveling on dark roads (Touring Elite). Other vehicles will have a harder time sneaking up, since the Odyssey features a blind-spot information system (BSI) that notifies the driver of any vehicle detected in its blind-spot area. It’s the first-ever offering of a blind-spot system on any Honda.

The 2011 Honda Odyssey EX-L and above models feature a rear camera with guidelines. It not only helps you see what’s behind you, but also helps when backing into tight spaces. On navigation-equipped models, a multi-view rear camera offers three views: normal, wide and straight down.

Every Odyssey is equipped with a powerful 3.5-liter V-6 engine with Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) for brisk acceleration as well as maximized mpg. Combine that with a new 6-speed automatic transmission, and Odyssey Touring models achieve up to 28 highway mpg. It’s the kind of efficiency most vans only dream of. The 2011 Honda Odyssey LX is equipped with a standard 3.5-liter, V6, 248-horsepower engine that achieves 18-mpg in the city and 27-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard. The Touring Elite is equipped with a standard 3.5-liter, V6, 248-horsepower engine that achieves 19-mpg in the city and 28-mpg on the highway. A 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive.

The 2011 Honda Odyssey Safety Standard front, front side and side curtain airbags can help reduce the likelihood of injuries in a collision. The side curtain airbags have a sensor that can detect a rollover, and then deploy the airbags. And the front passenger’s side airbag comes equipped with the Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS) to help prevent airbag deployment if a small-statured passenger is out of position and in the airbag’s path of deployment.


The Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure is a Honda-exclusive body design that enhances occupant protection as well as crash compatibility in frontal collisions. By dispersing crash energy more evenly throughout the front of the vehicle, less force is transmitted to the passenger compartment.

Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) system helps sense oversteer or understeer and brakes individual wheels and/or reduces engine power to help keep you on your intended course. VSAa is not a substitute for safe driving. It cannot correct the vehicle’s course in every situation or compensate for reckless driving. Control of the vehicle always remains with the driver.

Brake Assist, a component of the anti-lock braking system (ABS), helps apply full braking force in some emergency situations. Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) helps balance braking forces depending upon dynamic loading.

The third row has room for three adult passengers and three beverage holders. A fold-down center armrest makes it cozier for two (Touring models). On vans equipped with a rear entertainment system, there’s a 115-volt power outlet and A/V inputs. In this van, taking the back seat is a pleasure. The second row features a center seat that can accomplish a multitude of tasks. It’s now wide enough for a child seat, and can slide forward, putting the child seat within easy reach of a front passenger. Fold down the seatback, and it becomes a food or beverage tray. And the two second-row outboard seats can slide left or right. The resulting “wide mode” creates either more comfort for passengers, or more room for two additional child seats in the second row.


The Honda DVD Rear Entertainment System1 features a 9-inch LCD screen, and is standard on Touring models and available on EX-L models. All entertainment systems can be controlled by
a remote that stores securely overhead. Rear passengers will also find dedicated storage areas
for their handheld games and other electronics.

The Honda DVD Ultrawide Rear Entertainment System2 just might be as good as your own home theater. Play a DVD, plug in a camera or do both at the same time. And a true 5.1 surround sound system completes the mobile movie-theater experience (Touring Elite).

Rear passengers don’t ask for much. Just make them super comfortable, and give them an easy way in and out. To that end, we located the power sliding door switch right where a second-row sitter would expect to find it. The position of the second-row walk-in levers makes getting to the third row simple, while recline levers offer a quick way to ease back. And there’s one more convenience: a trash-bag ring, sized to use shopping bags.


The driver and front passenger get the royal treatment, too. The all-new Odyssey features more soft-touch surfaces for a more sophisticated feel. The driver settles into a seat with 10-way power adjustment, including power lumbar support (EX and above), while the passenger enjoys 4-way power adjustment and the heated seats get up to a comfortable temperature quickly (EX-L and above).

The third generation Japanese built Odyssey was the first full redesign of the Odyssey since its introduction in 1995. Going on sale in Japan in late 2003, and in Australia and many other countries in 2004, it continued with a 5-door body style, with a much sleeker, lower, and more car-like appearance. For the first time cruise-control appeared on the JDM Odyssey. The 4WD version has received the new DPS system. The seat folding mechanism was changed again. The height of the new Odyssey was lower than ever designed with multi-level parking in mind, particularly for Japan. The new Odyssey came with the Honda K24A i-VTEC engine, a 2.4 L unit producing 160 hp (119 kW); this was the same engine used in the CR-V and Accord. A 4WD version (RB2) came only with an automatic transmission, while the 2WD version came only with a continuously variable transmission, except Absolute.

The V6 engine was dropped completely. Instead, a 200 hp (149 kW) forced variant of the K24A engine was adopted for the sporty Absolute version (190 hp (142 kW) with 4WD), which was only equipped with an automatic transmission both the 2WD & 4WD variants. The sales for the fourth generation of the Odyssey in the JDM market started October 17, 2008. Honda will create the 2009 and 2010 JDM Odyssey on the same platform as the 2008, keeping many of the 5 door body style and a four cylinder engine.

The 2011 Honda Odyssey Price MSRP: $27,800 - $43,250

 The Honda Pilot was designed to fill a large American demand, particularly a larger SUV Car with third-row seating. Prior to the introduction of the Pilot, Honda only had the compact crossover SUV CR-V, and the Honda Passport which is truck-based and intended as a quick-fix, as the company recognized the competition from other refined mid-sized SUVs and crossovers. The Pilot shares underpinnings and the powertrain with the Acura MDX luxury SUV, and their platforms are shared with the Honda Odyssey minivan and the Honda Accord sedan. The Pilot’s unibody construction and independent suspension is designed to provide handling similar to that of car; however, it is also fortified with integrated perimeter frame rails, which helps it withstand towing and light off-road use. The Pilot is Honda's largest SUV, although the 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour surpassed the Pilot in length.

2011 Honda Pilot 4WD

The first Produce in 2003 Honda Pilot is propelled by an aluminum alloy 3.5 L SOHC, 24-valve VTEC V6 engine with timing belt driven camshafts. The engine is rated at 240 hp (179 kW) SAE @5400 rpm and 242 lb·ft (328 N·m) of torque @4500 rpm. It is mated to a five-speed automatic, which, as tested in a 2004 Pilot, results in a 0-60 mph time of 7.6 seconds and 1/4 mile sprint of 15.9 seconds. For the 2006 model, the power was 244 hp (182 kW) SAE @5600 rpm(4WD), 240 lb·ft (325 N·m) of torque @4500 rpm. Models from 2005 include a drive-by-wire throttle.

The Pilot weighs in at a little over 4,400 lb (1,996 kg), with a United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimated gas mileage for 2007 of 16 mpg-US (15 L/100 km; 19 mpg-imp) city and 22 mpg-US (11 L/100 km; 26 mpg-imp) highway for the two wheel drive model, and 15 mpg-US (16 L/100 km; 18 mpg-imp) city and 20 mpg-US (12 L/100 km; 24 mpg-imp) highway for the four wheel drive model. Also, like the MDX, the Pilot rides on struts up front with a coil-spring, multilink arrangement at the rear designed to allow a flat load floor. It also has the MDX’s wide track 66.3 in (1,684 mm) at the front and 66.5 in (1,689 mm) at the rear. The Pilot has a 4,500 lb (2,041 kg) boat/3,500 lb (1,588 kg) trailer towing capability. The FWD Pilot models feature the latest generation of Honda’s Variable Cylinder Management (VCM), which is designed to help improve fuel economy* without sacrificing power. The system achieves this by automatically deactivating and reactivating multiple cylinders, depending on the engine’s needs.

2011 Honda Pilot 4WD SUV

The New Series 2011 Honda Pilot Replace for its lack of power and so fuel economy with a rock-solid chassis that tackles bumps and other imperfections with little fuss. Its rack and pinion steering is linear and nicely weighted as well, though there's not much that can make this big 'ute feel sprightly when turning into a curve. It snowed on the last day we had with the Honda Pilot, which gave us the opportunity to test the 2011 Honda Pilot all wheel drive setup. The system can transfer up to 70 percent of the engine's power to the rear wheels when the need arises. We experienced next to zero slip with all-wheel drive engaged, which translated into a lot of confidence when we needed it most. We can't say the same for the Honda Pilot brakes, though. While the pedal felt firm, we noticed that the positive vibe didn't translate into increased stopping power.

Power tailgate on New 2011 Honda Pilot Touring models gives you push-button access to the vehicle’s cavernous cargo area. Rear storage well is a large 2.8 cu ft, giving you plenty of cargo space, even when you’re loaded up with passengers. Its cover keeps valuables out of view. Drive to get something done. Anything at all. And with its 4-ft-wide fold-flat floor, 87 cu ft of cargo space,1 tie-down anchors, cargo-area bag hooks and a lift-up glass hatch for easy access, the Pilot is a fully functional toolbox.

2011 Honda Pilot 4WD

Drive comfy. The Honda Pilot is equipped with enough amenities to ensure that every passenger gets their fair share of pampering. This includes a 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, including power lumbar support (EX and above), and 4-way power-adjustable front passenger’s seat (EX-L, Touring).Rearview camera on Honda Pilot EX-L models without Navigation utilizes a portion of the rearview mirror as a full-color camera display when you engage reverse. On models with Navigation, the image is displayed on the vehicle’s navigation screen. Integrated second-row sunshades are standard on the Touring model. Two-position memory on Touring adjusts driver’s seat and outside mirrors. Ports and outlets include a 115-volt outlet and USB Audio Interface 2 on select models. Second row features climate controls and a 12 volt power outlet. Rear entertainment models include RCA inputs for a game console or other video source.

Honda DVD Rear Entertainment System (RES), available on EX-L3 and standard on Touring, lets rear passengers choose their own distinct audio or video source, or plug in a game console.
Premium audio system on Honda Pilot EX-L with the available RES or Navigation and Touring features 10 speakers, including center channel and subwoofer, surround sound and a 512-watt amplifier. Radio Data System (RDS) on all models can display information on the song currently playing. XM® Radio7 is standard on Honda Pilot EX and above.Digital music files can be accessed through the USB Audio Interface2 on Honda Pilot EX-L with available Navigation4 and Touring or through an MP3/auxiliary input jack on all Pilot models.

2011 Honda Pilot

Drive with a purpose, a mission and the knowledge that you’ve got power to spare. The 3.5-liter i-VTEC V-6 generates 250 hp and 253 lb-ft of torque – enough to tow up to 4,500 lbs.8 Standard equipment like an integrated Class III trailer hitch, heavy-duty radiator and fluid coolers means the Pilot comes fitted with most of what you need for some serious hauling.

Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) technology on both 2- and 4-wheel-drive models activates or deactivates certain engine cylinders, giving you power when you need it, more miles between fill-ups and an Ultra-Low-Emission Vehicle (ULEV-2) rating.9 It’s fuel economy10 cleverly disguised as a powerful engine. During steady cruising, the 2011 Honda Pilot V-6 shuts down the entire rear bank of cylinders resulting in greater fuel efficiency.10 An Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) system helps control engine noise. When maximum torque is required – such as when you’re merging onto the freeway or climbing a steep hill all six cylinders are firing to deliver the engine’s full power. When cruising speeds climb, the engine moves from 3-cylinder operation to 4-cylinder mode. The transitions between all modes are nearly seamless to the driver.

2011 Honda Pilot Interior

Drive determined. The journey may be half the fun, but you still want to get where you’re going. The Pilot’s rigid unit-body construction, independent suspension and variable power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering help deliver precise handling and a smooth ride. The large wheel and tire combination also helps add to the vehicle’s incredible ride quality and stability. Hill start assist senses when you’re stopped on an incline and will hold the brakes for a brief moment as you transition from the brake to the accelerator to help reduce rollback. 4-wheel independent suspension features a front strut/multi-link rear design for a smooth, carlike ride. The front suspension uses fluid-filled bushings for better ride isolation and vibration control. VTM-4 Lock on 4-wheel-drive models helps when circumstances require use of all available traction. You can manually lock the rear differential with the push of a button located on the instrument panel.

The core Honda belief that every passenger should receive the benefit of advanced safety technologies has led us to become an industry leader in developing and applying robust safety features. The 2011 Honda Pilot is a prime showcase for this philosophy. Brake Assist, a component of the anti-lock braking system (ABS), helps apply full braking force in some emergency situations. Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) helps balance braking forces depending upon dynamic loading. Tire Pressure Monitoring System12 (TPMS) notifies you via the information display when the air pressure in a specific tire is significantly low. Touring models give you an individual pressure readout for each tire.

Six airbags include dual-stage, multiple-threshold front airbags that can vary their deployment based on collision severity and seat-belt usage, front side airbags with passenger-side Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS), and three‑-row side curtain airbags with a rollover sensor. Vehicle Stability AssistTM (VSA) system helps sense oversteer or understeer and brakes individual wheels and/or reduces engine power to help keep you on your intended course. Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure is a Honda-exclusive body design that enhances occupant protection and crash compatibility in frontal collisions. The ACE design utilizes a network of connected structural elements to distribute crash energy more evenly throughout the front of the vehicle.

A dream is a view of the world not as it is, but as it could be. For over 60 years, Honda has encouraged its associates to aim beyond what is currently possible. All for the purpose of progressing human mobility. This spirit has resulted in advances in environmental technology, like the FCX Clarity Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle, that brings us closer to a future filled with blue skies. It guides us as we strive to exceed government safety regulations and has led to industry-changing innovations on the ground, in the water, and, with the HondaJet, in the air. And it pushes us to use premier race circuits as testing grounds for our ideas. Moving forward, our minds are open to new ideas, no matter where they come from.

It’s all about discovering the moment. The instant where everything comes together perfectly. Achieving it is easier when you’re ready for anything. With a powerful 3.5-liter V-6 engine, three comfortable rows of seats and up to 87 cu ft of cargo space,11 the new 2011 Honda Pilot is definitely your tool of choice. And if your style leans more towards luxury, a new Touring model adds features like a power tailgate, navigation system5 and Bluetooth 7 HandsFreeLink. If the moment at hand involves up to eight people, a load of gear,1 or any combination of the two, the  Honda Pilot is up to the task. The 60/40 split-folding second- and third-row seats give you 16 different configuration options.

The 2011 Honda Pilot exterior screams "utility vehicle," and that theme carries over inside this crossover's large cabin. We mentioned earlier that some feel the interior of the latest Pilot was actually downgraded when the vehicle was redesigned in 2009. You'll get no arguments from us on that point, as the current model's massive center stack and hard plastic materials are outdone by the first generation model's more appropriately sized center console and more appealing materials. And although our tester didn't feature this accessory, the Pilot's dash can be made more attractive by dropping $393 for light wood accents that break up the expanses of dark plastics. Speaking of the center console, we have no idea why Honda designers chose such a massive canvas to place so many tiny and difficult-to-find buttons.

The 2010 Honda CR-V’s ability to accomplish so much has made it an award winner. In 2010, it was our Best Compact Crossover for the Money and one of Kelley Blue Book's Best Resale Value winners. But despite its good reputation, the Honda CR-V won’t satisfy all shoppers. It’s not super fast, doesn’t have a third row and gets a bit expensive once you add features like Bluetooth and USB integration. Plus, it definitely isn’t a luxury car. "The compact SUV field is crowded these days, with nearly every automaker offering something,” explains Cars.com. “If you only have eyes for the luxury makes, the CR-V isn't for you. Otherwise, it's something you should consider." Shoppers seeking a practical SUV that’s well equipped for daily life may not need to look any further.

It’s big, slow, and awkward-looking, but it’s an Accord. Apparently, it looks better in person and in motion than it does in pictures. Nevertheless, based on looks alone, we would pick the Toyota Venza (it’s main rival) over it any day. But, hey, that’s just our personal taste. It probably drives very well.



But it’s not us that got intimate with the Crosstour – find out what Edmunds InsideLine thought about new crossover, and tell us what you think

Honda Accord Receives New Styling and Increased Fuel Economy for 2011



EPA fuel economy goes up to 23/34 city/highway mpg (+2/+3) on some models; more features and a new Accord SE Sedan model to debut



Set to go on sale in mid-August, the 2011 Honda Accord Sedan and Coupe receive significant updates including improved fuel economy, enhanced exterior and interior styling and the addition of a new leather-equipped Special Edition (SE) trim level. Available as either a sedan or a coupe in 4-cylinder and V-6 variations, the Accord offers a unique balance of style, performance, efficiency and value specific to each individual model.



“For 2011, the Accord evolves again with sharpened styling inside and out, fuel economy gains and a broader application of popular features,” said Erik Berkman, vice president of Corporate Planning and Logistics for American Honda Motor Co., Inc. “The Accord is designed to deliver a consistently rewarding ownership experience in the areas that matter most to sedan and coupe drivers.”



Improvements to vehicle aerodynamics, engine friction and transmission gear ratios all contribute to fuel economy improvements. The EPA fuel-economy ratings1 for Accord 4-cylinder sedan models equipped with an automatic transmission improve by 2 miles per gallon (mpg) in the city and 3 mpg on the highway, for a city/highway rating of 23/34 mpg.



The 2011 Accord Sedan’s exterior expresses a more upscale and powerful presence with a new style for the front grille, front bumper and rear deck lid, along with a new wheel design.



Building on the sedan’s design character, the Accord Coupe’s unique muscular stance is enhanced with a bolder front grille design, new front bumper shape, enhanced brakelight appearance and a new wheel design for V-6 models.



Striking a balance between value and luxury, the Accord SE Sedan offers the additional features from the popular Accord LX-P with the added luxury of leather-trimmed seating, heated seats, driver’s power-lumbar support and a leather-trimmed steering wheel.



New features on certain models include steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters on the Accord EX-L V-6 Coupe, a USB Audio Interface on all coupe models and Accord EX and EX-L Sedans, and a rear view camera on sedans equipped with the available Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation2 System™. Additionally, Accord EX-L V-6 models receive a two-position memory system for the driver’s seat. Additional interior updates on all models include new seat fabrics on models with cloth seats, an updated instrument panel design and more-refined accent points throughout the interior.



Interior styling on all models provides attainable luxury with generous standard equipment, world-class ergonomics and intuitive vehicle controls. The front seats are designed to provide generous lateral support and to complement the Accord’s sporty side. The fold-down, rear seatback offers cargo-carrying versatility and also includes a lockable pass-through for long items like snow skis.



New for 2011, the most frequently used climate-control buttons are now positioned on the left side of the control stack, closer to the driver for ease-of-use, and less-frequently used buttons are now positioned on the right side. Vehicle clock adjustment is also made easier by more prominent control lettering.



A 190-horsepower, 2.4-liter, 16-valve DOHC i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine is standard in the Accord EX and EX-L Sedans and Accord LX-S, EX and EX-L Coupes. The 2.4-liter i-VTEC four-cylinder engine in the Accord LX, LX-P and SE Sedans produces 177 horsepower.



The available 3.5-liter, 24-valve SOHC i-VTEC® V-6 engine produces 271-horsepower and takes advantage of Variable Cylinder Management™ (VCM®) technology that can deactivate up to half of the cylinders while cruising to improve fuel economy. Preliminary EPA fuel-economy ratings3 for the 2011 Accord V-6 Sedan are 19 city/30 highway mpg, an improvement of 1 mpg in highway driving.



The performance-oriented Accord EX-L V-6 Coupe with the 6-speed manual transmission has a unique 3.5-liter V-6 VTEC engine (without VCM) that provides a performance-tuned valvetrain, intake and exhaust system to broaden the torque curve in the low- to mid-rpm range for enthusiast-level performance.



A 5-speed manual transmission is standard on 4-cylinder models and a 5-speed automatic is available. A 5-speed automatic transmission is standard on V-6-powered models. A 6-speed manual transmission is available exclusively on the Accord EX-L V-6 Coupe.



For safety, the Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE®) is an exclusive body design that enhances occupant protection and crash compatibility in frontal crashes. The ACE™ design utilizes a network of connected structural elements to distribute crash energy more evenly throughout the front of the vehicle. This enhanced frontal crash energy management helps to reduce the forces transferred to the passenger compartment.



The double-wishbone front and multi-link rear suspension inspire confident handling performance while also providing a comfortable ride. The 2011 Accord Sedan comes standard with 16-inch steel wheels with wheel covers, or 16- or 17-inch alloy wheels depending on the model.



Three audio systems are available – all with MP3/Windows Media® Audio (WMA) playback capability and an auxiliary input jack. The standard system provides a single-disc CD player, six speakers and 160 watts of power. Radio Data System (RDS) displays information broadcast by participating FM radio stations that often includes call letters, station type (searchable by genre) and programming information. Steering wheel-mounted audio controls come standard on every Accord. The Accord EX Sedan and LX-S Coupe add a 6-disc in-dash changer.



A premium 270-watt audio system comes standard on Accord EX Coupe and Accord EX-L Sedan models, and includes a six-disc CD changer and seven speakers including an 8-inch subwoofer. XM Radio® is standard equipment on all Accord EX-L models.



The Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System (available on Accord EX-L) uses an 8-inch screen and an interface dial for user input. Features include the Zagat Survey® guide for restaurants, nightlife, hotels and attractions. Accord EX and EX-L Coupe and Accord EX-L Sedan models include Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® as standard equipment for connecting wirelessly with compatible mobile phones.



The Accord Coupe (4-cylinder) has 17-inch alloy wheels as standard equipment, with 18-inch alloys standard on the Accord V-6 Coupe. All Accords feature four-wheel disc brakes.



Currently more than 95 percent of the Accords sold in the United States are produced4 at Honda of America Manufacturing Inc.’s Marysville Auto Plant in Marysville, Ohio, and at Honda Manufacturing of Alabama, LLC, in Lincoln, Alabama. The Marysville plant is the sole global source of the Accord Coupe.
