Honda R&D Americas Inc. and Continental, an international automotive supplier, were the recipients of Automotive News’ 2016 PACE (Premier Automotive Suppliers’ Contribution to Excellence) Innovative Partnership Award this past Monday during the Annual PACE Awards ceremony in Detroit. This award follows the two companies’ collaboration over developing the Bidirectional Long Range Communication System, which allows a driver to use a remote control key fob to lock/unlock the vehicle, activate climate controls, and even start the engine from up to a third of a mile away.

“Building a successful partnership like the one forged with Continental does not happen overnight,” said Frank Paluch, President of Honda R&D Americas, Inc. “It takes time, trust, teamwork and a singular goal – to deliver a product that provides great value to our customers. It is an honor to be recognized by the PACE award committee for this innovative collaboration.”

After MotorWeek presented the 2016 Honda Civic with the Driver’s Choice Best Small Car Award, it is easy to say that the automotive reviewer found this 2016 model to be quite impressive. Now, they have released a new video review that highlights the 2016 Honda Civic Coupe and they appear to be just as impressed with the two-door version as they were with the four-door. For starters, they commented on the sportier design of the coupe including its new full-length taillight design, aggressive front end and sharp roofline.

They then go on to comment on the impressive performance capabilities and first-rate ride and handling that made driving this vehicle fun as well as smooth and efficient. On the inside, this vehicle includes a number of new technology and feature upgrades and active safety systems.

Honda has announced that the all-new 2016 Honda Civic Coupe will be released on March 15, 2016! With the release of this highly-anticipated new vehicle only a few days away we would like to take a look back at the very first Civic Coupe which was released back in 1993. Therefore, we are going to share the MotorWeek Retro Review that features the first-ever Civic Coupe.

When the Coupe was first released the Honda Civic was already a very popular model amongst American consumers having gained a reputation for being safe, reliable, efficient, and fun. Therefore, when the Coup was introduced into the market it brought all those same factors but upped its game in the style with its sleek two-door design earning recognition from John Davis as “The smartest looking small Honda ever”.

Overall, MotorWeek was quite impressed with the 1993 Honda Civic Coupe specifically noting its smooth highway handling, cargo space, comfort, performance, fuel economy, and interior noise level.
