Honda Accord and Fit Receive Car and Driver Magazine's "10Best Cars" Awards

Car and Driver magazine has named the 2012 Honda Accord 4-cylinder and the 2012 Honda Fit as two winners of its prestigious and highly competitive, annual "10Best Cars" award. Now in its eighth generation, the Accord has achieved "10Best Cars" status 26 times in the 30 years that Car and Driver editors have been conducting the competition, more than any other vehicle in the award's history. The Honda Fit has been honored with "10Best Cars" status in each of the six years that it has been on sale in the United States.

"The Car and Driver '10Best Cars' awards document a proud history of great cars in America over the last 30 years," said John Mendel, executive vice president of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "Honda is honored to again have two of our vehicles included among the best of the best."

The Fit has been sold in the U.S. since the 2007 model year and is manufactured in Sayama, Japan. The Accord has been sold in the U.S. since the 1976 model year and has been manufactured in Marysville, Ohio since 1982.

2013 Honda Fit Elecric Vehicle (EV)

 
Introducing our latest electric marvel, the Fit EV. The 100% electric Fit EV features cutting-edge technology and all-electric fuel economy while remaining every bit as fun and practical as the original Fit.

Honda will begin leasing the 123 city-mile per charge (76 mile range combined adjusted city/highway[1]) Fit EV battery electric commuter vehicle to its U.S. customers in the summer of 2012. The Fit EV features a 20 kWh lithium-ion battery and a 92 kilowatt coaxial electric motor. The vehicle can fully charge in as little as three hours using a 240-volt outlet. To help the driver manage the electric vehicle ownership experience, the Fit EV will have a standard telematics system that allows the driver to stay connected through a smartphone, personal computer or interactive remote.
