Yesterday, Honda Canada revealed the first look at the 2013 Honda Civic Sedan.  Not expected to make its debut until the 29th of November at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the 2013 Civic has a much more sculpted front end, with an open mouthed lower bumper and honeycomb mesh grille.  The new styling also presents a new rear bumper design and new rear trunk lid, which is capped with a chrome trim piece.

Dave Jamieson, assistant vice president for Honda Canada Inc. was quoted as saying “We believe that combining a host of exterior refinements with additional feature content and infusing the 2013 Honda Civic with a more youthful and premium style, we have made the best-selling passenger vehicle in Canada that much better.”

The full features of the 2013 Honda Civic won’t be revealed until November 29th at the Los Angeles Auto Show, but from what we can see, with its new styling and content additions, the 2013 Civic is both youthful and fun to drive!

If you are interested in purchasing the 2013 Honda Civic, it will be going on sale, mid-December at Image Honda.  Please feel free to visit us at www.imagehonda.com or call us at 1-888-375-5914.

You may or may not have heard that Honda has unveiled a new cloud based “in-vehicle connectivity” system called HondaLink.  Set to make its debut this fall, with the release of the all new re-designed 2013 Honda Accord, this system will give drivers access to all their favourite media in a more accessible way.

Perhaps, the most exciting feature of HondaLink is the “Aha” service, which will allow users to listen to their Facebook and Twitter in an audio newsfeeds.  Aha, also has access to location-based personalized restaurant listings from yelp, as well as internet music services such as Slacker; a service that is free and instantly available!  Whether it is having a book read to you while you drive, or listening to the rest of the podcast you didn’t have time to finish before you left work, HondaLink will exceed your greatest expectations.

There is so much to welcome with the all-new 2013 Honda Accord, it can be overwhelming.  Over the course of the next week or so, we at Image Honda are going to break it down to provide a better understanding for you.

For many, what still remains the most important aspect of a new vehicle is how it performs.  Bearing this in mind, the new Accord offers you your choice of two all-new powertrains. The first is the more powerful, with a 3.5-litre, 24 valve, SOHC i-VTEC V6 engine with 278 hp.  The other is a 2.4-litre, 16 valve, direct injection DOHC i-VTEC 4-Cylnder engine with an available 189hp.

What really makes these powertrains outstanding is that both feature the first North American application of the “Earth Dreams Technology” making the Accord the most fuel efficient Accord yet!    The available transmissions allow for enhanced acceleration, contributing to its high performance and making it fun to drive.

Make sure you visit us at Image Honda and take a test drive in the all-new Honda Accord or visit us at www.imagehonda.com
