Honda Unveils 2016 Accord In Silicon Valley
Silicon Valley is one of the most technologically advanced places in the world, so it’s fitting that just last month, Honda unveiled one of their most technologically advanced cars there. The 2016 Honda Accord will feature some of the most up-to-date vehicle technology that very few other cars have incorporated yet.
The Accord will also incorporate a new audio touchscreen interface as well as one of the safest vehicle technology systems on the road today, Honda Sensing. Other features will include HD radio, heated rear seats, front and rear parking sensors, and many more, further solidifying its role as one the market’s most technologically advanced vehicles.
“Where else to introduce the most technologically advanced midsize sedan, the 2016 Accord, than in Silicon Valley,” said John Mendel, executive vice president of the Automobile Division, American Honda Motor Co., Inc. “Customers want their vehicles to be more intelligently integrated with their smartphone-powered lives, and we are committed to delivering that experience starting with Accord, retail car buyers’ most popular vehicle the past two years.”
Honda’s largest manufacturing plant in the world recently celebrated its 30th anniversary. The Honda of America Mfg.’s Anna Engine Plant first began production of Honda engines on July 22, 1985, and in the past thirty years has produced over 20 million engines. Over the years, this plant has grown considerably, increasing not only their production level but their staff size and the size of the plant itself. When the Anna Engine plant first opened there were only 94 associates, a number that has now grown to over 2,800. Additionally, through expansions, the plant’s size has increased to 2.4 million square feet. bringing their production level increased from an annual capacity of 1.16 million four and six-cylinder engines.
Some of the plant’s most significant expansions have been seen in just the past four years as Honda has invested over $800 million in the facility, which includes the construction of the brand’s most technically advanced engine assembly line in North America, which was constructed in 2014. Additionally, through these expansions, the plant has recently begun production of turbo engines such as the 2.0-liter VTEC® Turbo which will power the next generation of Honda Civics.
“Even more critical than the investments Honda has made in new technology is the passion and challenging spirit that our associates bring each day to the task of advancing Honda quality, efficiency and performance for our customers here in North America and around the world,” said Paul Dentinger, Anna Engine Plant Manager. “Truly, our associates are powering the future of Honda.”

2016 Honda Pilot Featured In New Campaign From Honda
Honda recently launched a new marketing campaign centered around the all-new 2016 Honda Pilot. This new campaign will feature a mixture of Print, Digital and Television advertisements that will focus on the impressive new capabilities, versatility and premium features that are all available on this impressive new model. To start the new campaign, the brand released two new TV spots that are also available on their Youtube page. These spots are called “The Incredible Elite” and “Even Better”.
“The Incredible Elite” is the centerpiece to the entire campaign as it creatively showcases some of the most impressive elements of the 2016 model. Through this advertisement, we see the 2016 Honda Pilot drive through a number of common situations in a simulator and in each situation, one of the model’s premium features is used to work through it.
The Incredible Elite:
“Even Better” is a companion spot, designed to show the impressive seating and storage capabilities of the 2016 Honda Pilot, while also showing how it is the ideal vehicle for families. In the spot, a family piles into their 2016 Pilot to head home from a day trip and the silence in the vehicle is broken when they begin singing the Weezer song “Buddy Holly”. The choice of song was made in order to create a spot that would be memorable and resonate with parents and kids alike.
Even Better:
“The campaign leverages the Pilot’s strengths with two impactful spots, showing that the Pilot is ‘Ready for Anything.’ With its all-new styling, premium technology, and adaptability, it’s the perfect vehicle for everyone,” said Jeff Conrad, senior vice president and general manager of the Honda Automobile Division of American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
