Pilot Wins Car and Driver

The November issue of Car and Driver includes a comparison of six mid-size unibody crossover vehicles with all-wheel drive and third-row seats, including the Honda Pilot EX-L, Toyota Highlander Sport, Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring, Hyundai Veracruz Limited, Chevrolet Traverse LT, and Ford Flex SEL. When the driving was done, the all-new Honda Pilot was in first place with 225 of a possible 270 points!

First Place: Honda Pilot EX-L 4WD
Here's what the Car and Driver editors had to say about Pilot.
"Since its 2002 introduction, Honda's Pilot has bagged six of C/Ds 5Best Trucks trophies. This latest gen – longer, wider, riding on 2.9 inches of newfound wheelbase – may well land it in the SUV Hall o' Fame."
"…peak horsepower manifests at 5700 rpm, the fewest revs of any V-6 invited. In fact there was terrific grunt as low as 2500 rpm."
"…none of our crossovers surpassed the Pilot's off-road prowess. It can wade through 19 inches of water and offers both hill-start assist and 'VTM-4 Lock,' which can send maximum torque to the rear wheels at speeds up to 18 mph. Where some aiming was required with the others, the Pilot just bulled over the larger impediments."

"The Pilot is an eight-seater, and it nearly matches the larger Chevy for third-row space. Legroom is up 1.1 inches in the second row, 1.9 inches in the third. More important, the front seats are gently bolstered and cushy without relying on padding that swallows the sides of your hips."

"In the end, the MDX-based Pilot won… because it felt more solid than its rivals. Part of that perception derives from the slightly heavy but accurate steering, and part accrues from the taut, totally tied-down chassis. But the new Pilot may also feel unbendable because of its higher-strength steel, its sturdier gusseting, and its platform's more robust rear structure."

"Add to that a zillion storage bins, a backlight that lifts separately from the hatch, steering with no wasted motion, a dollop of lift-throttle oversteer, the second-best as-tested price, and you've got a crossover scoring bonus points…."

All New Honda Insight


During the Paris Auto Show the world got its first full view of Honda's Insight Concept model, which shows the design direction that the new dedicated hybrid model will take.
Honda has always intended Hybrid vehicles to be a bridge to a hydrogen powered future, the potential of which has already been demonstrated by the leasing of the first FCX Clarity.
The Insight Concept has clear stylistic links to the world's first production fuel cell car, with both vehicles' forms shaped to maximize their aerodynamic efficiency and therefore reduce fuel consumption.
The Insight Concept is the stylistic inspiration for the production version which will go on sale in 2009. From this unique position in the marketplace, Insight will open hybrid technology to a new generation of customers.
Insight's cost savings are partly possible because processes have been continuously improved to make them faster and therefore more efficient. Honda engineers have refined many aspects of the production process to make them more efficient to perform to increase production capacity and plant efficiency.
A cornerstone of the cost reduction is the refined version of Honda's award winning IMA system, combining an electric motor with a refined, low emission and efficient petrol engine. This petrol-electric engine and CVT gearbox together give low CO2 and NOx emissions, and also achieves inherently excellent refinement.
Along with the Civic Hybrid, the new vehicle will be produced at Honda's Suzuka factory in Japan which recently has expanded hybrid motor production line.
CO2 emissions and fuel economy are targeted to be at a similar level to the existing Civic Hybrid, giving drivers a flexible and highly practical lower environmental impact car. At its expected price point, Insight will have a unique combination of passenger space, luggage capacity, emissions and economy.
The Insight will form the first part of Honda's new hybrid strategy, which will see a further dedicated hybrid model, derived from the CR-Z show car, and a hybrid version of the Jazz. The strategy will make hybrids both more accessible and more appealing to a range of customer types.
The Insight Concept is the culmination of two decades of hybrid gas electric hybrid research and development. The Insight production vehicle will go on sale in Europe, Japan and North America during the first half of 2009.

All New Honda Insight Hybrid Concept Vehicle


Honda Insight Concept Hybrid Vehicle to Debut at Paris International Auto Show

Honda will reveal a concept version of its new small hybrid vehicle, to be named Insight, at the 2008 Paris International Auto Show, October 2, the company announced today. The new Insight Concept shares styling cues with the Honda FCX Clarity fuel cell vehicle and will provide an early look at the highly-anticipated five-passenger hybrid vehicle. Going on sale in the U.S. next spring, the all-new purpose-built Insight will come to market at a price significantly below hybrids available today. From this unique position in the marketplace, the Insight will advance the affordability and accessibility of hybrid technology to a new generation of buyers. "The original Honda Insight pioneered hybrid technology in the U.S. and remains a symbol of Honda's commitment to innovative technology and fuel efficiency," said Takeo Fukui, Honda Motor Co., Ltd. CEO. "This new Insight will break new ground as an affordable hybrid within the reach of customers who want great fuel economy and great value." The Insight Concept defines a new stage in the evolution of hybrid technology by utilizing a more cost-efficient version of Honda's Integrated Motor Assist™ (IMA™) hybrid technology, resulting in a new level of affordability for hybrid customers worldwide. Evoking the innovative styling cues first seen in the FCX Clarity, the Insight Concept is designed with a low center of gravity and a generous five-passenger cabin, offering the kind of driving pleasure and roomy interior that customers have come to expect from Honda. While the Insight Concept's aerodynamic design clearly identifies its fuel efficient purpose, its five-door access and folding rear seats speak to functionality that is designed to meet the needs of customers with an active lifestyle. The Insight Concept is a small, fuel efficient hybrid car that delivers big style and functionality with a healthy dose of fun. Honda achieved a significant cost reduction in Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) components which should make Insight the most affordable hybrid vehicle to date. The production Insight will be offered as a five-door, five-passenger hatchback. Numerous technologies, including a function to assist customers in achieving more fuel efficient driving habits, will be applied to achieve a further improvement in real world fuel efficiency. With its affordable price, the new hybrid vehicle will represent the best value in its segment. Along with the Civic Hybrid, the new vehicle will be produced at an expanded hybrid vehicle production line at the Suzuka factory in Japan. The Insight is expected to have annual global sales of 200,000 units per year - approximately 100,000 in North America. Following the launch of the new Insight, Honda also plans to introduce another unique sporty hybrid vehicle based on the CR-Z, first shown at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show. All together, Honda's global sales of hybrids should increase to approximately 500,000 units a year, or more than 10 percent of its total worldwide annual automobile sales. The original Honda Insight was introduced in December 1999 as America's first gas-electric hybrid car. The first vehicle to break the 70-mpg fuel economy barrier, Insight was designed from the ground up to demonstrate the ultimate potential for fuel-economy in a two-seater subcompact automobile. A leader in the development of cleaner, more fuel-efficient mobility products, Honda introduced the first low-emission gasoline vehicles; America's first gas-electric hybrid car and the world's first EPA-certified hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle, the FCX. In 2007, Honda was named "greenest automaker" by the Union of Concerned Scientists for the fourth straight time.

All-New 2009 Honda Fit Big on Style and Refinement, Small on Price and Fuel Consumption


The completely-redesigned 2009 Honda Fit is set to go on sale August 26 with a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) starting at $14,550, plus a destination and handling charge of $670, American Honda Motor Co., Inc., announced today. The Fit Sport, equipped with additional premium features, is also set to debut with a starting MSRP2 of $16,060, plus destination and handling.
The Fit is designed to lead the subcompact segment with a quality feel and a multi-functional interior.

A new, more powerful 117-horsepower, 1.5-liter i-VTEC 4-cylinder
engine further improves the Fit's high-revving, fun-to-drive character.
"With the all-new Fit, Honda is offering premium features and advanced technology within a high-function, small vehicle

An improved rear Magic Seat provides one-motion dive-down functionality without having to remove the rear seat head restraints to folds flat into the floor, creating a rear cargo volume of 57.3 cubic feet. Dual-stage, dual-threshold front airbags, dual front-side airbags with passenger-side Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS) and side-curtain airbags are standard equipment on all models.
The engine produces 117 horsepower at 6600 rpm and 106 lb-ft. of torque at 4800 rpm. A 5-speed manual transmission is standard and a 5-speed automatic transmission is available. Steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters allow for manual gear selection on the Fit Sport equipped with the available automatic transmission.

An exclusively-equipped Civic LX-S Sedan debuts with alloy wheels and sportier interior styling.

The Civic GX is powered by a dedicated natural gas version of the Civic's 1.8-liter i-VTEC engine - and is equipped with a 5-speed automatic transmission. Built on a high-rigidity unit-body platform, the Civic is designed to deliver precise, sharp and refined handling performance with its MacPherson strut front suspension and multi-link rear suspension.

New for 2009, the system includes Bluetooth HandsFreeLink, a wireless telephone interface that works with Bluetooth-enabled mobile telephones for hands-free operation via steering wheel-mounted controls.
Auxiliary audio input jacks are standard equipment on Civic LX and above trim levels and allow for portable music device playback through the audio system.

Customer Letter

Mr Stewart,

I wanted to let you know how wonderful DAVE in your service dept at Rock Hill is. I drive 85 miles one way to work each day. And getting to your dealership for service and getting to work on time is a challenge. I have come to your service dept. twice recently, and both times I was dealt with professionally and promptly by DAVE. I advised him that I needed to be at work by 10am, and both times I was right on time. This is the first time I have owned a Honda , and it will not be my last. I have bought allot of new cars in the past years-with other company's , but never had this great of service, from Dave and all of your staff! Please commend Dave for all of his hard work-he deserves it!

Andrea Moorehous( a happy Honda customer)

Here's what Motor Trend's editors had to say about each of the vehicles tested: (For the complete story, go to MotorTrend.com.)

Third Place: Mitsubishi Eclipse GT
Pros:
Shortest braking distance 60-0 mph (118 feet).
Second fastest 0-60 mph (Tied – 5.8 seconds).

Second fastest Motor Trend figure eight (26.9 seconds @ 0.65 g).
Most torque (260 lb-ft).

Service Customer Comment

Reference : Service
Comments : I just had service done on my Accord (my second experience with Honda Cars of Rock Hill). I wanted to take a moment to say that you have an exceptional service department.

I chose to work with Tim Chandler again as he has consistently provided service that's above and beyond any other automobile service organization I've dealt with. He is always professional and friendly. He has provided updates and always follows up promptly.

I noticed little things like fluids being topped off. I would say that you have very competent technicians as I've had problems diagnosed accurately and subsequent repairs done that are well above what I've experienced before.

These add significantly to lifetime customer value and certainly would lead a service customer to the sales department with your dealership. Thank you.

Next Generation Honda Pilot



A prototype of the next-generation Honda Pilot was unveiled at the 2008 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit, American Honda Motor Co., Inc.

The prototype conveys design features of the more boldly-styled 2009 Pilot, set to debut in spring 2008, which emphasizes authentic SUV styling, clever and more accommodating interior packaging and advanced technologies for safety, fuel efficiency and convenience.

"The Pilot's pioneering formula improves for 2009 by enhancing its combination of refinement and efficiency with even more traditional SUV strengths," said John Mendel, executive vice president of American Honda. "A powerful exterior design communicates strength and allows for more space inside."

Functional eight-passenger seating, a hallmark of the Pilot, becomes even easier to access in the third row as key dimensions for legroom, cargo and occupant space increase in all seating positions. A redesigned platform allows even more refined handling and ride comfort to exist seamlessly with all-weather and medium-duty off-road capabilities. To further enhance safety, the Pilot will feature the Honda-exclusive Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE®) body structure and the most extensive use of high-strength steel in any Honda product to date.

The ACE body structure enhances frontal collision compatibility with vehicles of different sizes and bumper heights. A pedestrian injury mitigation design in the front of the vehicle is designed to help absorb energy in the event of a collision. A crossover SUV platform underpins the Pilot to provide the best of the car and truck worlds by integrating the refined traits and packaging advantages of a unit body car design with the utility and capability of an SUV design. A V-6 engine introduces the latest generation of Honda fuel-saving Variable Cylinder Management (VCM®) technology that operates in 6-cylinder mode for power and 4- and 3-cylinder modes for efficiency, an improvement compared to the existing Pilot's available VCM system that works exclusively in 6- and 3-cylinder modes. Three rows of seats provide a high degree of adaptability for people and large cargo loads. The first row provides a commanding view of the road from two captains' chairs. A wide center stack and center console form the styling anchor for the interior with a design that emphasizes spaciousness and power, while allowing for convenient access to navigation, entertainment and climate-control systems.

The 60/40 split second row, now more spacious, slides further forward for increased ease of access to the third row. The 60/40 split third row, now supplies enough knee room for an above-average-sized adult male to fit comfortably, making the Pilot's third row among the most practical in the industry. Each side of the second and third row independently folds down for cargo. A flat floor is created when the second and third rows are folded down.
The Pilot originally debuted as a 2003 model in July of 2002. Design and development of the 2003 Pilot and the 2009 Pilot were carried out at Honda R&D Americas in Raymond, Ohio, and Torrance, California. The Pilot is assembled* at Honda Manufacturing of Alabama in Lincoln. Among its numerous accolades, the Honda Pilot has earned Car and Driver Magazine's prestigious "5Best Truck" award on six consecutive occasions (2002-2007). The current-generation 2008 Pilot is also among an elite group of vehicles to receive both a "Top Safety Pick 2008" from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and a 5-star crash safety rating for frontal and side collisions from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)**.

* Honda products are produced using domestic and globally-sourced parts.** Government star ratings are part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA's) New Car Assessment Program (www.safercar.gov. Model tested with standard side-impact airbags.)
