Honda Earns 22nd Overall Baja 1000 Motorcycle Victory

The Johnny Campbell Racing Team of Kendall Norman, Quinn Cody and Logan Holladay sealed another chapter in Baja racing history this past weekend by securing the overall victory in the 44th Annual Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 desert race. Armed with the No. 1x JCR Honda Racing CRF450X, the three riders covered the exceptionally rough and rugged 705-mile course in the fastest time of all 278 starters in the race to give Honda its 22nd overall motorcycle win in the world-famous Baja 1000 race, and also its 15th consecutive victory. It was the sixth overall career Baja 1000 win for Norman and his fifth straight, while Cody picked up his fourth career Baja 1000 overall motorcycle victory and his third straight. For Holladay, a Hollywood stunt rider, it was his first SCORE Baja race win.

After the race, JCR Honda team owner Johnny Campbell said, “It was a long day. It was really rough and I was happy to be in the air with the helicopter and not on the ground riding the bike because it was really rough. All the guys did a really good job and it was a tough race. It was very, very rough.”

Nine of the top 10 motorcycle finishers rode Hondas, including the Johnny Campbell Racing second support team of Colton Udall, David Kamo and Timmy Weigand on a CRF450X, who trailed behind the winners by a scant 17 minutes. This strong finish earned Udall the SCORE championship for the season. In the ATV classes, the first overall ATV and Class 25 winner was the team led by veteran Wayne Matlock on a Honda TRX700XX, while the winner of the ATV Class 24 (and second overall ATV finisher) was the team led by Brandon Brown on a Honda TRX450R.

Honda Debuts Completely Electric Fit EV at LA Auto Show

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE

Showcasing a driving range of 123 miles on a single charge in the EPA’s city-cycle testing—and expected to net a combined-driving range of 76 miles—the 2013 Honda Fit Electric Vehicle recently made its world debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

“The Fit EV is the next critical step in Honda’s portfolio approach to alternative fueled vehicles,” said John Mendel, executive vice president of sales, American Honda Motor Co. “There is no other automaker on the planet whose spirit is more deeply invested in the effort to realize a cleaner, more energy-efficient and ultimately more sustainable transportation future than Honda.”

The gas-free Fit will retain the tidy dimensions and impressive interior versatility of the traditional model, but host a power train specifically designed to maximize efficient driving. The heart of the matter is a 20-kWh lithium-ion battery mated to a 92-kW coaxial motor, with the latter based on the same proven unit used in Honda’s FCX Clarity fuel-cell EV. Then, to enhance appeal even further, the Fit EV will feature a three-mode driving system adapted from the one used in the sporty Honda CR-Z hybrid.

In Econ mode, key vehicle systems are automatically re-calibrated for optimum efficiency and can deliver up to a 17 percent improvement in driving range; Sport mode adds a notable power boost to allow drivers to take advantage of the Fit’s nimble proportions. The Normal driving mode delivers an ideal mix of both characteristics.

Honda is taking a cautious approach to launching the Fit EV, and will begin by offering the vehicle for lease in the summer of 2012 in select California and Oregon markets. Availability will expand to a number of East Coast regions by early 2013, with Honda carefully monitoring customer acceptance to determine future sales plans. Pricing will start at $36,625 before any federal, state or local incentives, with lease rates beginning at $399 per month.

Automobile Magazine has Dubbed the 2012 Honda Odyssey an "All-Star" Once Again

The annual Automobile Magazine All-Stars are often picked from the upper echelons of the industry, with this year’s team including cars like the Audi TT RS, Ferrari 458 Italia and Spyder, and Porsche Boxster and Cayman—and the 2012 Honda Odyssey. And not only is the Odyssey the only minivan on the All-Star team, but it’s now made the squad two years in a row.

Plenty of credit goes to the Odyssey’s interior, which is versatile enough to hold up to eight passengers or multiple 4’ x 8’ pieces of plywood. In addition, as Automobile Magazine’s Phil Floraday points out, the 2012 Odyssey also “raises the standard” for rear-seat entertainment system. The range-topping Odyssey Touring Elite boasts an integrated setup with a 16.2-inch LCD monitor that can display output from two different sources on the same split screen, along with a 12-speaker, 650-watt audio system with Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound.

“However, what really makes the Honda Odyssey stand out from the rest of the minivan segment is how well it drives while executing the usual chores,” according to Floraday. “Steering weight and feel are about as good as it gets for a van, as are ride and handling. Honda’s Variable Cylinder Management system enables the 3.5-liter V6 to run on as few as three cylinders, resulting in an EPA rating of up to 28 mpg on the highway.”

That’s best-in-class highway fuel economy that is a full 4 mpg higher than in the four-cylinder rival from Toyota. Also best-in-class are the Odyssey’s safety ratings, as it was the first—and remains the only—minivan to achieve both a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Top Safety Pick status from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

“One of our drivers called our Four Seasons Odyssey ‘the best family road-trip vehicle’ in the fleet, but that’s just one of the many hats this Honda can wear, including cargo van, soccer shuttle, pulse accelerator, and sensible commuter,” wrote Floraday. “Capability, capacity, comfort, and efficiency in the same package? An All-Star, indeed.”

Power Equipment Trade Magazine Recognizes Honda Engines Training System with 2011 Dealers Choice Award.

Power Equipment Trade magazine has named the Honda Engines Training and Certification System (TACS) as a recipient of its 2011 Dealers Choice Award. The TACS system was designated as the winner within the business services category, selected by Power Equipment Trade dealer readers and other qualified dealers via an online and in-person ballot system in conjunction with the 2011 GIE+EXPO trade show.

The editors of Power Equipment Trade solicited product nominations from all GIE+EXPO exhibitors and selected up to five finalists in each category for this sixth annual award competition. This year, nearly 400 lawn and garden power equipment dealers participated in the award voting process.

The Honda Engines TACS system provides web-based service training and certification to Honda Engine distributors and more than 14,000 Honda Engine dealers nationwide. The easy-to-use system allows dealer and distributor personnel to complete the latest Honda Engines product and technical training at their own pace while at the dealership. For dealers and distributors, participating in flexible, online educational modules and eliminating the need to travel to an off-site training facility can save significant time and money.

"Being named a dealers choice award winner by Power Equipment Trade dealer participants is certainly an honor for Honda Engines, and the recognition is testament to the efforts and innovative thinking of our entire team of product developers," said Honda Power Equipment vice president, Scott Conner. "The TACS platform, designed specifically for our in-dealership personnel, is an easy-to-navigate, cost-effective module that provides our broad dealer and distributor network vital product technical training."

Honda received the award at the GIE+EXPO trade show in Louisville, Kentucky during the last week of October.

Honda is the world’s largest engine manufacturer, having sold more than 27 million units in 2010 across all of its global product lines. The company’s general purpose engine products are characterized by the same technology that is behind the Honda reputation for unparalleled durability, quality and reliability.

The Final Eight Bands Are Chosen for Honda's 10th Annual Battle of the Bands!

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE

The nation's marching band fans have spoken, and have chosen the top eight marching bands at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) for the 2012 Honda Battle of the Bands. Now marking 10 years of celebrating the heritage, showmanship and scholarship of HBCU bands, the Honda Battle of the Bands will bring "The Homecoming" to the Georgia Dome in Atlanta for the Invitational Showcase, Saturday, January 28, 2012.

Following are the HBCU marching bands that will earn a $20,000 grant for their music education programs and an all-expenses-paid trip to the 2012 Honda Battle of the Bands Invitational Showcase:

Albany State University "Marching Rams Show Band" (Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference)
Bethune Cookman University "Marching Wildcats" (Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference)
Jackson State University "Sonic Boom of the South" (Southwestern Athletic Conference)
Prairie View A&M University "Marching Storm" (Southwestern Athletic Conference)
South Carolina State University "Marching 101" (Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference)
Tennessee State University "Aristocrat of Bands" (Independent)
Virginia State University "Marching Trojan Explosion" (Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association)
Winston-Salem State University "Red Sea of Sound" (Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association)

For the eight winning bands, the journey to the Invitational Showcase involved months of practice and training, all in preparation for their Georgia Dome performances, where each band will have 12 dazzling minutes to showcase the musical excellence, distinctive style and superior showmanship that earned them a place in the 2012 Invitational Showcase. The Showcase bands are chosen via online voting, with votes by fans, students and alumni accounting for one-third of the selection criteria, and band directors and school presidents accounting for the balance of the selection process.

This year's event theme, "The Homecoming," reflects on the 10th anniversary of the Honda Battle of the Bands and calls for all HBCU marching band alumni, current HBCU students and the many fans of the event to meet in Atlanta for this special anniversary showcase event. The homecoming theme also highlights the importance of marching band culture to black college homecoming celebrations.

We are excited to be celebrating 10 years of the Honda Battle of the Bands as we continue to support the music education programs of our nation's HBCUs" said Marc Burt, senior manager, Office of Inclusion and Diversity for American Honda. "We hope that Black college marching band fans and alumni will attend this year's Invitational Showcase as we anticipate a great community turnout and even greater performances by the top eight HBCU marching bands."

The Honda Battle of the Bands website is the sole online destination and clearing house for all HBOB information, updates, polling status, photos and video footage, and is a one-stop resource for all questions about the program. Fans are encouraged to also follow Honda Battle of the Bands on Twitter (@the_honda) and to become a fan of the Facebook page (Honda Battle of the Bands) where they can share memories, photos and engage in trivia, and get updates on the 2012 program.
