The people have spoken, and once again, the people have said that Honda is the best overall value on the road. After surveying over 12,000 new-car buyers, Kelley Blue Book[1] gave Honda a 2011 Brand Image Award for Best Value Brand. We received this prestigious honor after Kelley Blue Book talked to thousands of new-car buyers about their perceptions of various auto manufacturers.
Edmunds.com has published its 2011 New Car Buying Guides, and we're pleased to announce that the
Fit,
Accord Sedan,
Odyssey and
CR-V have all been named 2011 Edmunds.com Top Recommended
SM vehicles. In addition, the Element was named a 2011 Edmunds.com Top Recommended
SM SUV for drivers with mobility challenges.
Honda has won the first ever Edmunds.com Best Retained Value Award for Non-Luxury Brands. In addition, four Honda models won model-level 2011 Edmunds.com Best Retained Value Awards. Having a clear idea about a car's future resale value is an important part of the car-buying process, and Honda is proud to be recognized for how well our vehicles hold their value over time.
Honda has the great honor of having two of its cars named to
Car and Driver's 10Best Cars list[3]. Both the
Accord and the
Fit boast multiple appearances on this esteemed list. In fact, 2011 marks the 25th time Accord has been includeda record unsurpassed by any other vehicle. And for the Fit, this is the fifth consecutive appearance.
The 2011 Honda CR-V, Accord and Fit were given the award for "Best Resale Value" by Kelley Blue Book's kbb.com[4].
Both the Honda
Odyssey and
Fit have been presented with 2012 ALG Residual Value Awards. Residual value, (the value a car is predicted to retain over time), is a good barometer of a vehicle's overall quality. As Raj Sundaram from ALG states, "We have seen a strong focus this year on producing high-quality products with great pricing and packaging delivering real value for vehicle buyers."
Kelley Blue Book's kbb.com, the trusted online automotive resource, has named both the Odyssey and Accord Crosstour to their list of "2010 Top Ten Family Cars[5]."
The
Civic GX Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV),
Civic Hybrid and
Insight have been named to the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE) "Greenest Vehicles of 2011" list. The Civic GX earned the top spot on the list of 13 cars. 2011 is the 10th consecutive year Honda has had more than two cars named to the list.
