2018 Honda Accord

After the initial launch of the 2018 Accord by Honda Canada, it has blown up over social media. The Accord has already taken home awards, and is right near the top of the list for the Kelly Blue Book Award for highest consumer rated 2018 Sedans. There wouldn’t be all this hype for no good reason, the new Accord comes in a 1.5T or 2.0T Engine with a Hybrid variant option, so it can fit all your needs. The 1.5-liter comes with 192hp and the 2.0-liter goes all the way up to 252hp. If you really need the speed, you should know that the Turbo option on the new Accord is closely related to the 306hp Civic Type-R! What if 196 is not enough, but 252 is too much? Honda even has a solution for that. The 2018 Honda Accord Hybrid comes with a 2.0-liter gas engine and 2 electric motors with a lithium-ion battery to field 212hp.

Lets talk about physical appearance. As you can see from the comparison above, the 2018 Accord was completely redesigned and it seems as Honda has swayed away from the previous Accord style we all know. As for the insides, the new Accord got a complete makeover:

The All-New 2018 Honda Odyssey is Here!

2018 Honda Odyssey Blog:

The all-new 2018 Honda Odyssey is here! It is the 5th generation of its model, originating in the 90’s. The base model (LX/EX) comes fully loaded with a 280 HP V6 engine, a massive interior with 3 rows of seating, and top of the line new 2018 technology. If you are interested in a minivan then you probably have a family or a group of people that need transportation frequently, and the 2018 Honda Odyssey is just the minivan for that. This new model maintains that safe comfortable reputation that Honda minivans have had for years. The Odyssey really is a people’s car. Compared to its close competitors; the Dodge Grand Caravan, or the Toyota Sienna, the Odyssey always comes out on top. Its competitors are commonly sold to commercial companies for utility purposes, whereas the Odyssey has always swayed away from that remaining to be that “peoples car”.

Honda Civic SI Blog:

The all-new 2017 Honda Civic SI brings the power that the North American “small car” market has been missing for years. This 1.5-liter, 4 cylinder, 205 HP engine machine is the older brother to the Civics’ current sport model: the Type-R. The SI comes in 3 different trims currently; the Touring Sport, the SI coupe, and the SI sedan. The touring option is new across all civics not just the SI, but the new touring sport option allows for crazy fast capabilities. Honda also decided to redesign the Civic with the SI model, adding gun metal rims, a spoiler, and many other eye catching sport related features.

All New 2017 Honda Ridgeline

The All new 2017 Honda Ridgeline now comes in 5 different trims: LX, Sport, EX-L, Touring, and Black Edition. Just like many of Honda’s new releases this year, visually the Ridgeline looks similar to its 2016 model. However the Ridgeline comes equipped with a V6 3.5L 280 HP engine. You might think that this new Ridgeline is more of a car in a truck body; shorter bed length, fast top speed, and aerodynamic design. However, the Ridgeline stacks up quite well against its competitors in the more “heavy duty” categories as well. With a 64 inch bed length and the 262lb’s of torque the 2017 Ridgeline creates the balance between a comfortable car, and a heavy duty pick up.

If you are interested in smaller pick up, but still want those heavy duty capabilities for when in need, the Ridgeline is the perfect truck. To top it all off the 2017 Ridgeline is equipped with top of the line technology features including:

  • 8 Display Audio system
  • Apple Car Play & Android Auto
  • Navigation system
  • Honda Link
  • 7” TFT centre meter display
  • Honda Lane Watch blind spot system

The Ridgeline really does it all, so make sure you keep it at the top of your mind when in the market for a perfect hybrid between a truck and a car.

The 2016 Honda Civic awarded “North American Car of the Year”

What an honour! The all-new 2016 Honda Civic was awarded the prestigious 2016 North American Car of the Year Award. This win is the second for the Civic model in the award’s history, following a win for the 2006 Civic a decade ago.

“The 10th generation Civic was developed and is built in North America, making this North American Car of the Year win even sweeter,” said Dave Gardner, Senior Vice President of Operations, Honda Canada Inc. “Being built at our facility in Alliston Ontario and the number one car for Canadians for 18 consecutive years has cemented Civic’s importance in Canada. We are delighted that automotive press has recognized the new levels of styling, performance, advanced technology, safety, and value that characterize the new Civic.”

Who is behind the North American Car of the Year Award?  It’s given by a group of 53 international automotive journalists and is very unique. Instead of being given by a single publication, radio or television station, it is given by automotive journalists from the United States and Canada. Presented each year at the opening of the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, it recognizes the most outstanding car of the year based on factors including innovation, design, safety performance, handling, driver satisfaction and value.

Truly all-new, the 2016 Civic features dynamic and sporty exterior styling and a roomier, more sophisticated cabin. There are two advanced new engines including the first application of Honda turbo engine technology to Civic, as well as a host of new available premium features and technologies.
