Hondas are one the most popular, most affordable and most reliable cars the automobile market has ever seen. Not only that, like that’s not enough, but also now it has never been easier to drive your dream Honda off the lot. A Honda lease is the best option to get you behind the wheel of a new Honda and keep you in the newest models. Why would you want to be anywhere else?

A Honda Lease offers many benefits you don’t get when you finance a vehicle and a Honda lease can keep those benefits going for as long as you drive.

• Leasing can afford you the flexibility you need. Variable length contracts ranging from as few as 24 months to as much as 60 months or enroll in a one-time lease payment option.
• Lower monthly payment than financing.
• You really end up paying less for your vehicle, up to 60% less and with the popular option of no required down payment you are only left with taxes, fees and your monthly lease payment.
• Drive a new vehicle more often.
• Excess wear and use waiver policies cover a total of $1,500.00 which is broken down by individual incidents at a maximum of $500.00 for each.
• GAP coverage (Guaranteed Asset Protection) protects you from the difference between your insurance coverage and the outstanding balance of your lease incase your vehicle is totaled or stolen.
• If you exceed the set mileage 12,000 or 15,000 you have the option to purchase more miles.
• A Guaranteed purchase price that is set at the lease signing so your purchase price is not a reflection of the market value of new Hondas at lease end.
• End of term options include buying the vehicle, a new lease agreement on a new vehicle, or just returning the vehicle to your Honda dealer.
• No hidden fees what so ever.
• And don’t forget turning a few heads.

A Honda lease is plain and simple to get you moving right after the lease signing. With so many great new models and restyled favorites for the new year you can spend your time trying to pick the right Honda and not worry about the lease terms. Join the Honda family and benefit from the lease deals offered by your local Honda dealer and Honda lease provider.

Honda combines leadership in the industry with a savvy driving experience that is built on reliability, creativity, durability, and high quality.

Honda owners have a special relationship with their cars that can only be described as love…A love for Honda’s deliberate creative design considerations, their always friendly and knowledgeable customer service, and of course renowned fuel economy. It’s widely speculated that Honda’s unwavering dedication to safety ties the commitment knot even for those who formerly played the field..

so once you’ve established a relationship with your Honda, why take any risks with Honda Service/repair?

The reasons why Honda Service/repair is paramount at Authorized Dealers are plain and simple, and best summed up in 8 words:

ASSURANCE, CONSERVATION, DISCIPLINE, SECURITY, ACCESSIBILITY, EQUIPMENT, VALUE, and SATISFACTION.

You will find ASSURANCE with your Honda Service and repair because dealer’s rely on customer satisfaction. In fact their very reputations depend on it. So dealerships guarantee their repairs, and carry original parts which have added manufacturer’s guarantees.

You will exercise CONSERVATION while employing Honda Service/repair because you shouldn’t have to depend on anyone BUT the highest ranked professional. Your Honda Service dealership offers state of the art equipment, expertly trained technicians, and factory specified parts.

The DISCIPLINE with Honda Service/repair consists of continuous and always current training programs, and accordingly, many technicians are certified by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE).

You’ll experience SECURITY because manufacturer warranties have exact maintenance schedules and repair policies detailed in full. There are extended Honda Service policies as well to provide extra protection to the Honda owner.

There is tremendous ACCESSIBILITY offered through Honda Service/repair because dealerships are more convenient, often having later hours, or service on the weekends, better adapting to your busy schedule. Many offer express lanes for basic maintenance needs, as well, further cutting down on wait time.

The EQUIPMENT at Honda Service/repair departments is only available to franchised car dealers. It is the best, and connected via computer links to factory service experts. Diagnostic furnishings for today’s autos can cost over $100,000, and simply will not be available to you anywhere else.

The VALUE of Honda Service is unmatched. Your local Ohio dealership can get you the best competitive price, and offer the fastest expert service.

Ultimately, SATISFACTION is the mission for everyone involved in Honda Service and repair. We will instill confidence and resolution within every transaction, always.

The primary differences in exterior styling lie in the sporty new front end, redesigned grill, contrasting moldings, door garnishes, sill plates and a rear fender finish that imparts an impression of greater stability.  The Concept unveiled with stout 19 inch wheels, though the production Crosstour is slated to return to 18 inch wheels.

Consumers will now have two powertrains from which to choose: the standard 192 horse power, 2.4 liter, four-cylinder with five-speed auto transmission, and a new 3.5 liter V-6 with a crisp, six speed automatic transmission that Honda promises will have increased power and fuel efficiency.  In addition, the V-6 models come with racy, steering-wheel mounted paddleshift technology.  All-wheel drive will be an option for the 2013 Crosstour, while front-wheel drive will come standard.

Honda didn’t reveal the Crosstour Concept’s interior at the New York show, but promised some lavish improvements over previous models.  Elegant trim materials, a larger 8-inch color display, rearview backup camera, and keyless ignition are all in the works for the new 2013 Crosstour.

Honda upgraded the 2013 Crosstour’s safety equipment as well, with the introduction of a new lane-departure system and forward collision warning.  The infotainment systems also get a boost to now include both Bluetooth and USB in all models, with options including Pandora radio, updated navigation systems, and text-to-speech functions for safer handsfree communications.

We’ll have to wait until fall to see the final production  2013 Crosstour, but from the looks of the Concept, the overall design doesn’t offer enough significant changes to improve sales much for Honda. Although they’ve promised greater fuel efficiency, a sportier profile and some nice upgrades, it seems the Crosstour hasn’t  quite found its place in the market.

Priced at approximately $29,300 and up, the 2012 Honda Pilot has a four-wheel automatic brake system, front and rear disc brakes and an electronic fuel ejection motor. The total height of the Pilot is 71 inches and the overall length is just over 191 inches, seating eight people comfortably. With an estimated fuel economy of around *25 miles per gallon on the highway and *18 miles per gallon in the city, the Pilot is fuel-efficient.

The specifications and attention to safety have led to several awards, accolades and high ratings. Cars.com named the 2012 Pilot as the “Family Car of the Year” and is one of the top vehicles as rated by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety for overall safety. In addition, there are more Pilot awards.

For example, a competition hosted by MotorWeek, USA Today and Cars.com compared seven different sports utility vehicles and crossover vehicles in the areas of comfort, gas mileage, features and storage and the 2012 Honda Pilot came out the overall winner, which is just one of the Pilot awards.

The 2012 Honda Pilot received a NHTSA overall safety rating of four stars out of five for passenger safety and five stars out of five stars overall for driver safety. When it comes to Pilot awards, the NHTSA safety award is one of the most important.

There is no doubt about it – the 2012 Honda Pilot is attractive, comfortable, fuel efficient and safe. What more do you need? Contact us at Drive Classic for more information about the Honda Pilot awards and arrange your test drive today.

Honda’s practice of green building extends not only to their direct manufacturing of cars, but also to their entire supply chain. Green building ensures that you as a consumer not only get a great finished product from Honda, but that you don’t need to sacrifice being environmentally conscious to get it. Honda is committed to green building not because they’re being forced through mandatory regulations, but because it’s the responsible decision for future generations. It’s better to be ahead of the curve.

Green Building Factories

Honda’s “Green Factory” initiative means that Honda’s factories are constantly working to have as minimal of an environmental impact as possible. Their green factories strive to reduce their emissions, improve their energy efficiency, as well as have as small of a landfill contribution as possible. In fact, since 2011, 10 of the 14 Honda plants in North America have sent zero waste to landfills. In 2009 they even developed a new way to paint their vehicles to lower fossil fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by 25%. Honda has had multiple factories and distribution centers certified by Energy Star.

Green Building Supply Chains

Honda’s green building ideals extend beyond their factory doors all the way into their supply chain. They have encouraged their suppliers to reduce packaging waste, be more efficient with regard to energy consumption, and work to obtain third party certification for their environmental impact. As of right now, 88% of Honda’s supply chain is ISO 14001 certified, which puts them well on their way to extending their green building ideals to their entire supply chain

Green Building Finished Products

When you’ve set up a green building mindset, it turns out a very green product. In 2011, Honda claimed 3 of the 10 “greenest” cars on the road (and none of the 10 least green). When you have a company so focused on making sure that all the moving parts of their manufacturing process are set up to be environmentally friendly, the end result is nothing short of amazing.

Civic: Even though the Civic is smaller and more affordable than the typical family car, it does provide comfortable room for five. The new large display lets you monitor fuel economy, entertainment information and even a look at the family photos. Boasting up to *39 mpg on the highway makes this the modern family car of today. This is the kind of car that stays in families for years to be enjoyed by generations of Honda enthusiasts. The KBB best family cars list knows a winner when they see it.

C-RV: The brand new C-RV falls right in the middle of the KBB best family cars list. This fourth-generation workhorse is a pioneer in the compact crossover class and features a casual contemporary look with superb handling. The improved fuel economy, rear-seat entertainment system and Real-Time all-wheel drive make the Honda C-RV one of the most popular vehicles on the road today. The versatility of the C-RV to go from ski resort to  kids’ to soccer practice reinforces the reputation Honda has for making cars for life.

Odyssey: A vision of perfection and functionality, the Honda Odyssey is the ultimate family vehicle. The KBB best family cars list is no stranger to the Odyssey, a roomy interior affords comfort for the whole gang plus it can hold all the gear and cargo you need. The Odyssey is more than just a good looking mini-van, sliding rear doors, a powerful V6 engine and superior handling are just a few of the features that keep this on the top of the list. The interior design is uniquely engineered so you get the most comfort and space without compromising style, fuel economy or safety.

The KBB best family cars of 2012 is the authority on economy, comfort and safety when it comes to automobiles. Honda having three vehicles on the list is no coincidence, we have seen the company grow by designing vehicles that are practical, popular and fit your lifestyle. The reliability and affordability of these stylish cars are what has earned Honda the reputation of excellence we know them for.

So let’s take a closer look at Honda’s latest addition to the Crosstour family:

Comfort and Style

Well, it looks pretty sleek. It’s also practical, and with plenty of space inside, the new Crosstour is designed with comfort in mind. Inside, you’ve got an option of two trims, and you can either choose the Crosstour EX and leather-upholstered Crosstour EX-L, the latter of which also comes with Sat-Nav.

Fantastic Fuel Economy

With all its new features, the new four-cylinder boasts additional value to the Crosstour line, AND fantastic fuel-economy. The EPA-estimated fuel economy increases *3 mpg while in the city and *2 mpg on the highway, making it a head above other V6-equipped models.

Four-Cylinder Engine

Moving on to the engine, the new 2.4 liter i-VTEC inline four-cylinder engine delivers 192 horsepower, which is still quite sprightly for a medium-sized car. And when you consider the 271-horsepower 2WD V6 model has an EPA-estimated *18 mpg city and *27 mpg highway, it’s really rather good, and the reason why a lot of interest has already been shown in this car.

Great Functionality

John Mendel, executive vice president of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. said in a recent press release: “The new four-cylinder Crosstour offers sleek design, unmatched passenger comfort and ingenious functionality now with four-cylinder pricing and fuel economy. With four-cylinder and V6 options and a long list of standard features, Crosstour should be on every CUV buyer’s shopping list.”

Goes Without Saying

And since it’s part of the Crosstour family, there are plenty of useful and innovative features that come as standard, including an automatic dimming rearview mirror, a rearview mirror back-up camera display for improved rear visibility (for non-Navigation models), convenient auto-on/off headlights, HandsFreeLink® and USB audio interface, and Bluetooth®.

Retail Price

The manufacturer’s retail price for this car starts at $27,655, and for that you’ll get the well-equipped Crosstour EX. For the highest spec luxurious Crosstour EX-L Navi, you’ll be paying $32,805, not forgetting the $810 destination and handling charge per vehicle.
