Honda Reveals Next-Generation Fit, Teases Crossover and Hybrid Models

Honda has released first official images of the new 2015 Fit, set to begin production in Mexico next spring, along with information teasing an expanded model range.

The new Honda Fit looks sportier and substantial, but it still appears to have the tall, upright greenhouse that gives the current version its great visibility and interior space. Honda promises nicer interior materials, along with the latest infotainment and connectivity features. The new Fit will use a 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine from Honda's fuel-efficient Earth Dreams powertrain family, along with a continuously variable transmission. A six-speed manual may also be an option.

The company also plans to introduce one or more SUV-type models based on the Fit, such as previewed by the Urban SUV Concept. At least one Fit-spinoff will include a hybrid variant using Honda's new i-DCD full-hybrid system.

Whenever we test a new small car, it always gets compared to a Honda Fit. That's because every version of the Fit that we've driven has delivered an impressive blend of space, efficiency, sportiness, and value. It sets a high standard. We hope the next-generation Fit lives up to the reputation, but based on the automaker's hit-or-miss launch history (ahem, Civic), there is no guaranty.

Only a Honda is a Honda! 2012 Accord Sedan

We have a challenge for you! This week while you make your daily commute, take a look around. Don’t completely get distracted because we don’t want you to hurt yourself, but just be aware of the cars driving adjacent to you.   We bet you spot at least 4 Honda Accords out there, and if you can prove that you don’t we will give you a free 2012 Honda Accord!! Just Kidding LOL, but that would be awesome, right?!  But, seriously take a look around, because not seeing an Accord on the road is like not seeing Christmas lights during Christmas time! This is because the Accord offers what most Americans want out of their daily transportation! Not only is it sporty, glamorous or sexy, it has roomy accommodations, excellent driving position, and great driver visibility. Heck, if this was a fantasy world where our vehicles came to life and attended high school, the Accord would win Prom King!


Here at Route23Honda, we are proud to sell the 2012 Accord Sedan to you! It is equipped with a 177-hp and 190-hp DOHC i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine, 5-speed manual OR automatic transmission, and a Drive-by-Wire throttle system, which gives the car it’s great handling.  As for safety precautions, the Accord Sedan earned a 5-star safety rating in each of National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s  (NHTSA’s) combined safety rating categories.  Luxury? You bet; leather interior, heated seats XM Radio, Navigation System (with voice recognition and rearview camera), Bluetooth integration, and a USB for Ipod or MP3 integration are all included.

The 2012 Accord Sedan delivers performance, styling and luxury with the dependability and reliability for which Honda is known for. What can we say it beats out competitors simply because “Only a Honda is a Honda,” and none other can be on par with Accord’s value. Honda is the most trusted brand and the Kelley Blue Book reinforces that, “The 2012 Honda Accord Sedan continues to thrive for a number of reasons. Its design is clean and simple, yet sophisticated enough to attract buyers young and old alike. The Honda Accord continually tops the charts for safety, reliability and strong resale, and its fuel-efficient 4-cylinder engine remains one of the best in the industry. Granted, newer competitors such as the Hyundai Sonata, Chevy Malibu and Kia Optima sedans offer some stiff competition, at least on paper. But, these makes have yet to prove themselves in the long run, something the Accord Sedan has successfully been doing for the last four decades.”

Recently, the Accord has received numerous awards, accolades and ratings, including a Top Safety Pick from The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), and one of the 10 Best Sedans Under $25,000 from Kelley Blue Book. People know that it is in their best interest to drive an Accord Sedan. So, sorry! Even if our silly offer for a free 2012 Honda Accord held true, you’d be out of luck anyway because to spot an Accord on the road isn’t really a challenge, it’s more like a GIVEN!!!
