2011 Honda Odyssey Commercial "The Van Beckons"



2011 Honda Odyssey Commercial "The Van Beckons"
The all-new 2011 Honda Odyssey, available at DCH Honda of Temecula is the ultimate minivan reinvented, re-energized and evolved. With its modern styling, spacious interior, and high-tech features, the new Odyssey almost demands a new category. Although it's available with seating for up to eight passengers[1], there's nothing “minivan” about the Odyssey's efficient-yet-sporty performance, available 10-way power adjustable heated leather-trimmed front seating, authoritative V-6 acceleration and all the thoughtful engineering you'd expect from a Honda.


Of course, the new Odyssey pushes the tech envelope further with available features like a 16.2-inch Ultrawide DVD Rear Entertainment System with HDMI® Technology and split screen viewing capability for those times when passengers just can't agree on what to watch[2][3]. And the available navigation system now includes FM Traffic, which alerts you to traffic conditions and can suggest alternate routes[4]. The Odyssey's sophisticated technology is thoughtfully integrated for user-friendliness and simplicity—just load it with family and friends, gear up, and go.

AMS Tunes Honda CR-Z

AMS Tunes Honda CR-Z
The Japanese tuning house AMS has unveiled one of the first tuning packages, and definitely the most aggressive, for the new Honda CR-Z hybrid sport coupe.

The kit is part of AMS's Terra line of aero parts. It includes a new front bumper, headlight eyelids, 0.6-inch-wider front and 2.75-inch-wider rear fenders as well as side skirts that stick out 1.8 inches. A set of 19-inch piano black and pearl white Rays Versus Torismo Rechente wheels are also part of the package, but AMS says they are for photography only in this size — wheels would need to be smaller for real-world driving.

GHSA represents state highway safety agencies across the country, and this prestigious award, named in honor of former GHSA Chairman and Californian Peter K. O'Rourke, recognizes DCH Auto Group for its commitment to educating teens about safe driving and for its innovative partnership with SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions).
