American Honda Incentives Continue!

Honda is now the second least incentive-amount offering automaker in the States with Hyundai leading the pack with the lowest, here's the stats of the latest Honda deals.

Honda is celebrating its Happy Honda Days event in December by offering low auto loan rates and sign and drive lease incentives. Honda's car loan rate deals of 0.9 or 1.9 percent are available on most models in December. Higher interest rates are available for longer car loan lengths. For example, the 2011 Accord Sedan is 0.9 percent for 24 to 36 months or 1.9 percent for 37 to 60 months. At 0.9 percent for up to 60 months, shoppers can purchase the Accord Coupe, Accord Crosstour, Accord Sedan, Civic Coupe, Civic GX, Civic Hybrid, Civic Sedan, Civic Si Coupe, Civic Si Sedan, CR-V, Fit and Insight. The Element and Ridgeline are available at 1.9 percent for 36 months, and the Pilot is 0.9 percent for 36 months.

In December, Honda's 36-month, $0 due at lease signing deal is good on the Accord Crosstour, Accord Sedan, Civic Sedan, CR-V, Fit, Insight, Odyssey and Pilot. You still have to pay tax, title and fees. Monthly lease payments range from $190 to $380. By putting a few thousand dollars down on these same models, your monthly lease payments will be lower. For example, the Honda Odyssey minivan with $0 at lease signing is $360 a month. With a down payment of $1,999, you can lease the Odyssey for only $319 a month. Both lease options are available to fit your monthly budget and your down payment preferences.

Honda Brio, Honda's New Small Car

0 comments Posted by st at 9:06 PM

Honda debuted the world premiere of a prototype of Honda BRIO, the new small-sized vehicle developed for Asian markets and scheduled to be introduced in Thailand and India in 2011, at the 27th Thailand International Motor Expo starting November 30, 2010 (press day: November 30, public days: December 1-12.)

Honda BRIO Prototype is being developed with Honda’s advanced technologies, while further advancing Honda’s “man maximum, machine minimum” concept. Being developed as a commuter which is easy-to-use even in urban areas, the Honda BRIO prototype adopts an easy-to-handle compact body (length 3,610mm x width 1,680mm x height 1,475 mm) while ensuring enough cabin space achieved by highly efficient packaging. With this vehicle, Honda thoroughly pursued the creation of an advanced exterior form, which is compact while asserting a strong presence.

For the mass-production model, which will be an entry-level car, for which demand is increasing in newly emerging nations, Honda will develop unique versions for Thailand and India to reflect different customer needs in those markets. Moreover, with this vehicle, Honda will leverage the resources Honda has cultivated through its motorcycle business and utilize local sourcing of parts and materials such as sheet steel.

For the Thai model that is scheduled to be introduced in March 2011, the fuel economy of more than 5liters/100km will be targeted so that the vehicle will qualify as an eco-car by the Thai government, and a starting price of approximately 400,000 baht will be targeted as well. For the Indian model that is scheduled to be introduced within 2011, local customer needs for a small car will be reflected and local content will be increased to create a model that achieves a good balance between vehicle performance and price.

And here is a photo from before it went into the water in 1973 because the transmission broke, it was the fastest easiest way to get rid of the bus.
