Pilots Take Flight



Have you ever really taken a moment to sit down and think about the Honda Pilot?  Impressive doesn’t even begin to describe this clever SUV.  With renowned safety, versatility, and efficiency, the Pilot is just short of actually flying.  This SUV is just one of many vehicles that we are proud to carry at Route 23 Honda.

Recently, the Honda Pilot has received numerous accolades, ratings, and awards, which further affirm its value in the automotive industry.  Cars.com named the SUV “Family Car of the Year,” due to its roominess and fuel efficiency.  In addition, it took the top spot in "USA Today, MotorWeek and Cars.com $37k and Under SUV Shootout.”  “What else,” you may ask.  Well, it’s also a Top Safety Pick from The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), and "2011 Lowest Annual True Cost to Own SUV $35K-$45K" from Edmunds.com.

So, if you are looking to make a good decision for your family and leave buyer’s remorse behind, come to Route 23 Honda to snag your new Honda Pilot today.  “Drive” doesn’t really seem to cut it with this one, so we’ll say, “Become a part of the Route 23 Honda Family today, and get ready for take off.”

Honda Crosstour: It Just Keeps Getting Better



Don’t you love the Honda Crosstour?  Do you ever find yourself wondering how they could possibly improve it in the years to come?  Well, you’re in luck because the concept unveiled at the New York Auto Show is going to blow your mind!  This luxurious CUV is already one of the most efficient offerings in its class, but Honda is taking things one-step further, improving exterior styling and interior content.

One of the first things you’ll notice about the 2013 Crosstour’s new look is its athletic-looking front end.  In addition to many noticeable exterior revisions, you’ll notice the SUV-like stance they have given the new Crosstour.  It kind of says, “I’m functional and sporty, but also sleek and stylish.”

Safety is always of the utmost importance to Honda, so the new Crosstour is set to earn top scores in that department.   Future Crosstour owners have the option of equipping their new car with Honda’s Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Forward Collision Warning (FCW).  Both of these systems utilize a camera behind the windshield to detect cars moving out of their lanes unexpectedly or if a potential collision will happen ahead of them.  In addition, the 2013 Crosstour will be the first line of Hondas to receive the LaneWatch blind-spot display, which uses a camera system mounted on the passenger mirror for enhanced view of the roadway.

For all of you techies out there, you’ll be happy to know that all of the 2013 Crosstours will come standard with automatic dimming rearview mirrors, auto-on/off headlights, Bluetooth HandsFreeLink, and USB audio interface. Other available features will include a hard-drive based navigation system, Pandora Internet radio interface, XM satellite radio and an SMS text-to-speech function.

I’m sure that was a lot for you to take in, and maybe you just don’t want to wait until the Fall to test drive and own a new Crosstour.  In that case, drive on over to Route 23 Honda now, to check out the 2012 Crosstour, which has really set the bar high for its successor.  Click here to check it out in our online showroom!

Your Car And Your Phone Will Be Best Friends



New technology is going to make your life so much simpler.  The car electronics company, Harman, presented a new idea at the Geneva Motor Show, and it is sure to change the way we think about our phones and our cars.  Using a Dock + Go system, your smartphone will make driving a more personal experience.

In the presentation, Harman first demonstrated the capabilities of Dock + Go with various smartphones’ Near Field Communication.  As each smartphone was placed near the NFC reader in the car, a welcome message specific to that phone appeared on the car’s display.  Information and content ranging from playlists to social media was pulled from the phone without even plugging it in.  The system then used the Aha radio application to access internet radio stations, traffic information, restaurant reviews, and more.

You might think you can do these things right now with Bluetooth, but have you considered how much that drains your phones batteries (not to mention digging out the cable to connect it)?  The main benefit of the system is its Near Field Communication reader, which quickly and effortlessly pairs your phone in the car without killing your phone’s battery.  Smartphone and car integration technology is the way of the future, and at Route 23 Honda, we can't wait!
