Honda Reports January 2016 Sales Results
American Honda Motor Company released their January sales numbers last week. They reported a total of 100,497 Honda and Acura vehicles sold. This was a slight decrease from last year, largely because of the unpredictable winter weather across the country, as well as two fewer selling days than January 2015. The Honda division set a new record for January with 90,247 vehicles (50,812 cars and 39,435 trucks). The 2016 Honda Civic Sedan is largely responsible for this, along with the Accord and HR-V.
Honda seems very pleased with these numbers. “Led by incredibly strong demand for the all-new Civic, the Honda brand persevered rain, snow and two fewer selling days to post a strong first month of the year,” said Jeff Conrad, senior vice president and general manager of the Honda Division. “With Honda’s strong cadence of new models throughout 2016 we will continue our momentum and remain positive about 2016.”
Check out the full sales numbers in the press release below.

Honda engineers Kenton Williams and Hideaki Takahashi are the latest individuals to be featured in the “What Makes a Honda is Who Makes a Honda”. This series highlights Honda employees from all different areas of the company that play an important role in helping to reflect the brand’s motto of “The Power of Dreams”.
Takahashi is originally from Japan where he spent time working on the ASIMO project before transferring to Honda R&D Americas in Raymond, Ohio in order to work on the Walking Assist Device Project. Williams studied robotics at MIT and was motivated to make this his career after seeing an ASIMO demonstration while at school. He also watched his grandmother lose much of her mobility due to a stroke which motivated him to help improve the quality of life of others through increased mobility.
These two engineers come from very different backgrounds, but came together thanks to a common desire to develop technology and assist individuals with disabilities through their work. The Walking Assist Device has been designed to help individuals with physical disabilities who are going through physical therapy. This project has been in effect since 1999 and utilizes many of the same technologies as the Honda ASIMO.
Takahashi said Williams brings a compassionate perspective and understanding to the project, which is necessary. “We have a language barrier, and we also come from different cultural backgrounds,” Takahashi said. “But of course, the common language is technology.”

One Show Awards Honda For “Paper” Advertisement
Back in September, Honda made quite the statement when it debuted its two-minute spot “Paper”. This unique advertisement took viewers on a journey through the history of the Honda brand beginning from the very first bicycle created by the brand’s founder all the way up until the innovative vehicles of today. What made this spot, even more, unique, however, was that the story was told through a series of hand-drawn illustrations created by numerous artists that all flow seamlessly together to share Honda’s journey.
Recently, “Paper” received, even more, attention for its creative approach with an award from One Show. The company presents their One Show Awards during their Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards ceremony that is held each year at the North American International Auto Show. The awards recognize companies who have had outstanding global market strategies and advertisements. For this year, “Paper” was awarded in the 2016 Broadcast Television category.
