2012 Honda Fit Maintains Subcompact Supremacy

Every year, American Honda Motor, Co. ranks dealers in regional sales performance - and thanks to our loyal customers, it's official: We're Missouri's #1 volume new and certified used Honda dealer for 20 years!  Again, if it weren't for you, our customers, we wouldn't have been able to achieve this incredible amount of sales success.  When Dave Mungenast Sr. opened our doors in 1965, he laid down a foundation for?

It's no secret that every time Honda shows us something new on the auto show stage, they don't leave much to the imagination, and the same can be said for the 2013 Accord Concept.  This "concept" vehicle showcases not only the new Accord styling, but it also shows us what's ahead in terms of safety and performance for all Honda vehicles in the next couple years.  To say the least, there's?
For 2012, Honda surprised us with an even better CR-V (who knew that was possible, right?) and so far, the reviews have been very positive.  Although the new Honda CR-V comes equipped with more standard content and offers more interior volume overall, the general dimensions of the vehicle remain relatively unchanged - after all, its size has been an integral aspect of its success in the marketplace - it's not too big or too small, and it seats five adults comfortably and offers up more than 100 cubic feet of passenger space.

"The first flight of a flight test aircraft is an important milestone for an aircraft certification program, and the fact that we achieved F2's first flight shortly after receiving its engines illustrates our team's preparation and readiness," said Michimasa Fujino, President and CEO of Honda Aircraft Company. F2's flight was the result of extensive planning and hard work, he continued, and added that flying in this new aircraft was an "exhilarating" experience.1

 

For 2012 Honda plans to test fly aircrafts, the F3 and F4. They will also start structural testing this month, with additional tests being run in 2012, coinciding with the other launches. One day, you might board a Honda Airlines plane.
