This year, Honda is celebrating 40 years of the Honda Accord, America’s best-selling sedan. To commemorate this milestone, Honda has put together a timeline of the defining moments in Accord history. Check them out below! 1976 - The first Honda Accord hits dealerships! The first model was actually a hatchback, while the sedan version was added three years later. 1988 - The 1988 Accord Coupe was one of the first Japanese vehicles assembled in the United States. This model was made exclusively in Honda’s manufacturing plant in Ohio. 1989 - The Accord became the best-selling automobile in America, making it the first non-US-based vehicle to receive this distinction. 1994 - The Accord’s fifth generation improved environmental and passenger safety with lower emissions and top-of-the-line safety features. 2005 - While gas prices were on the rise, the Accord Hybrid offered better gas mileage with comparable performance. 2008 - The Accord added Vehicle Stability Assist™ and ACE™ Body Structure to even further improve on safety. 2014 - The Accord reaches 10-million vehicles sold while also achieving 50 MPG. 2016 - 40 years, 30 Car and Driver “10 Bests”, and a sale every two minutes, the Honda Accord’s success has been quite a ride, and it’s not slowly down anytime soon!

There has been a lot of commotion on the internet recently between competing car brands attempting to prove their truck bed’s durability. Honda has sat back and watched the truck wars long enough, and they have finally entered the ring to prove once and for all that the 2017 Honda Ridgeline is the toughest truck on the market. To do this, the team at Honda decided to drop 60 rough-cut landscaping blocks from a loader onto the bed of the Ridgeline. Each block weighed about 14-16 pounds, totaling approximately 830 total pounds unloaded onto the truck bed. Aside from some minor scratches, the Ridgeline emerged from the experiment virtually unscathed. The thick, black composite bed hides damage very well which is crucial for the wear and tear most truck users experience, plus the in-bed truck survived without any damage. Unfortunately, there will be no rock drop experiments at Clinton Honda, but we invite you to test drive the 2017 Honda Ridgeline to experience this truck’s durability and strength for yourself. Call us today.

Don’t forget about dad this weekend! This Sunday is Father’s Day and Clinton Honda would like to take a moment to wish all of the dads out there a great day and to say thank you for everything that you have always done!

Hey, Dad! It’s almost that time of year again - Father’s Day. And don’t get us wrong, another tie or spatula for the grill would be greeeeeeat. But how about we change it up this year? Honda has three awesome Dad-Mobiles that will take your dad game to the next level. The 2016 Honda Odyssey, 2016 Honda CR-V, and 2016 Honda Pilot all have convenient features that will help you get your Dad on. Check them out below! Built-In Vacuum Cleaner - Unfortunately, the “Dad Bod” trend is so last year and you promised yourself you’d stop swinging by McDonald’s on your lunch break. But being Dad of the Year sometimes involves spoiling the kids with some Mickey D’s french fries. When they happen to spill a few, and you know they will, the HondaVac in the 2016 Honda Odyssey has got your back. Leave no fry behind and hide the evidence before you get home. Mom will never know! Conversation Mirror - Your kids grew up thinking you had eyes in the back of your head, and with the Conversation Mirror in the 2016 Honda CR-V, you can keep it that way! The roof-mounted mirror gives you an extra wide-angle view, so you can stay on top of every eye roll and monitor horseplay in the back seat without your eyes leaving the road. Power Liftgate - You’re a man, Dad. And being a man means grabbing every possible grocery bag at once to avoid making more than one trip. We understand, that’s why we’ve built the Power Tailgate on the 2016 Honda Pilot. Simply press a button to open and close the tailgate, so you can get back to doing what you do best: grocery hauling. Stop by 1511 US Highway 22 East in Clinton, NJ 08801 to test drive the 2016 Honda Odyssey, 2016 Honda CR-V, or 2016 Honda Pilot and get behind the wheel of a true Dad-Mobile.

The 2016 Honda Civic Coupe has proved it not only excels in style and speed, but also safety. The redesigned vehicle received an IIHS rating of “good” in all crash scenarios when equipped with Honda Sensing™, giving it the prestigious honor of being a 2016 Top Safety Pick+. This rating is largely in due to the Civic Coupe’s Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) Systems that Honda plans to make standard on all new vehicles by the year 2022. The AEB technology completely avoided collision at two speeds: 12 mph and 25 mph.

Testing autonomous vehicles presents some challenges. You want to drive them on the roads we use every day, but you don’t want to risk any car or person in the process. Honda found an innovative new way to safely test their autonomous vehicles. In order to get the full testing experience, they’ve transformed a Naval base into “GoMentum Station,” a five-acre town that was once home to military personnel and their family but has since been abandoned. GoMentum Station allows Honda autonomous vehicles to experience 20 different road types, with buildings and intersections that closely mimic real-world situations. We can’t wait to see these vehicles on the road. Until then, check out our New Honda Vehicles which feature advanced driver-assistance safety technologies that will make you feel like you’re driving an autonomous car! Rosenholtz, Jared.
