*For 2006, Honda is complying with the new SAE standard for measuring horsepower and torque. This new method slightly reduces a vehicle's horsepower rating and torque due to more stringent testing procedures. Many manufacturers are still using the older standard of measurement. Horsepower and torque can only be fairly compared if both vehicles were calculated using the same SAE standard.
†Does not apply to fluid or filter changes. See your owner's manual for details.
**Requires towing hitch and harness
††Based on 2006 EPA mileage estimates. Use for comparison purposes only. Actual mileage may vary.
