Honda
The Power of Dreams
Some auto makers are aimed to provide performance or luxury above all else; for mainstream brands like Honda, the primary goals continue to be reliability and value. While often associated with traditional mainstays like the Honda Accord and Honda Civic, your local Honda dealer actually offers every type of vehicle you can think of. Walk the lot and you'll not only see alternatives to the Chevrolet Malibu and Toyota Camry, but also the Dodge Caravan, Hyundai Elantra, Mazda Miata, and Nissan Frontier.
For car shoppers who desire excitement behind the wheel, the Honda Prelude and late Honda CRX have handed the reigns off to the Honda Civic Si, the rear-drive and high-strung Honda S2000 convertible, and the Honda Accord coupe V6. A fuel-efficient Honda Civic hybrid, the more family-friendly driving experience is delivered courtesy of the Honda Accord sedan, and all three members of the Honda SUV lineup. If those don't fit the bill, perhaps the Honda Ridgeline pickup, Honda Odyssey minivan, or miserly Honda Fit might do the trick.
Looking into Honda's crystal ball, the future suggests the company will only strengthen its focus on efficiency and alternative fuels. One of the brand's advanced models, the hydrogen-powered Honda FCX Clarity, has been made available to a total of only 200 customers and serves as a test bed for zero emissions technology.
