Is the Ridgeline Bed Tough? You Be the Judge.
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.
Happy Father’s Day From Clinton Honda!
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!
Meet Honda’s Dad-Mobiles
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. Happy Father’s Day from your friends at Clinton Honda!

Honda Civic Coupe Top Safety Pick+
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.
Test drive the 2016 Honda Civic Coupe at Clinton Honda to experience the advanced safety features in this redesigned vehicle!

Honda Tests Autonomous Vehicles Safely
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!

Honda Brings UNI-CUB to GirlPower!
As many of you know, Honda has been a longtime supporter of STEM education, the study of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. As a company whose mantra is “The Power of Dreams,” they know the future of the automotive industry relies on the young men and women who are studying these subjects right now. Unfortunately, there is a disparaging ratio between men and women who go on to work in the STEM fields; only 26% of STEM field jobs are held by women. In order to increase the interest of young girls in STEM education, Honda recently attended GirlPower!, a convention where young female students can gather and learn more about opportunities in these subjects. Watch the video above to learn more about GirlPower! and Honda’s latest innovation, the UNICUB.
