HondaJet Achieves Maximum Speed
Honda Aircraft Co. announced that its HondaJet light business jet aircraft reached a maximum speed of 425 knots, or 489 mph, while on a test flight at an altitude of 30,000 feet. According to Michimasa Fujino, Honda Aircraft Company President & CEO. "Our flight tests indicate the aircraft is handling and performing as expected, with excellent control harmony and stability."

Honda will continue a rigorous series of in-flight mechanical, systems and handling tests on the FAA-conforming aircraft. Flight testing of the conforming HondaJet is taking place at Honda Aircraft Company's world headquarters facility in Greensboro, North Carolina. As flight testing and the build of FAA-conforming aircraft continue, construction of the HondaJet production facility on the company's Greensboro campus nears completion. Honda soon will take occupancy of the 263,400 sq-ft production facility and begin the process of moving equipment and personnel into the facility and undertaking pre-production preparations and training necessary to support HondaJet production ramp-up beginning in 2012.

Comparison Test Small SUV - Reviews - Vehix

Honda CR-V Wins Vehix Small SUV Comparison Test
The Honda CR-V was the best-selling SUV in the United States in 2010. According to a recent comparison test conducted by Vehix it’s also the best overall small SUV.

Vehix chose four popular small SUVs/crossovers and drove them like you would, loading them up with people and cargo, riding around town, and taking a short road trip on a variety of roads. They took into consideration the exterior and interior, driving dynamics, quality, safety and reliability ratings to determine their winner.

In the end the Honda CR-V was the small crossover that Vehix would recommend to friends and family, because it makes life easier. "Brimming with practicality, the lively little CR-V is deceptively roomy inside with very comfortable seats, innovative cargo and storage solutions, and simple controls. Add top quality and dependability ratings and the ability to hold its value over time, and the Honda CR-V makes a clear case for purchase."

2011 Honda Odyssey an IIHS Top Safety Pick

The 2011 Honda Odyssey has just been named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).  To earn the award, a vehicle must receive the top rating of Good in front, side, rear and rollover crash tests. The vehicle also must be equipped with electronic stability control, which is standard on the Odyssey.

Although the Odyssey had already earned top 'good' ratings from the IIHS, the Institute only recently tested the model in its new roof strength test—now a prerequisite for Top Safety Pick status. In that test, the Odyssey’s roof was able to withstand forces of more than five-times the vehicle’s weight.

The latest ratings confirms the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) toughened up crash-safety tests for 2011 in which the Odyssey passed with flying colors.  The Odyssey earned 5-stars in each seating position of all three crash-safety tests, as well as earning a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score earlier this year.

With top-notch safety ratings from both agencies, the 2011 Honda Odyssey could be one of the safest vehicles on the market.

San Diego Shopping and Fashion | Eclectic Shopping In Temecula.
Where can you find European shops, a store full of heady spices, an olive oil tasting room and a purveyor of international cheeses? For these types of places, driving to Los Angeles or flying up to San Francisco is completely unnecessary. Just a short drive north of San Diego will bring you all of these shopping experiences and more.

Located at the southern edge of the Inland Empire, just off I-15, Old Town Temecula boasts some of the most unique -- save the ubiquitous Starbucks -- establishments in Southern California. Here, one can easily spend a day shopping and explore some true nooks and crannies of the community. Some stores are well hidden behind other buildings. However, these stealthy locations give way to the quality and variety of their offerings.

Honda used cars lauded by Consumer Reports | Dayton Business Journal

Honda used cars lauded by Consumer Reports | Dayton Business Journal
Honda Motor Co. Ltd. scores well in a new ranking of the most reliable used cars by Consumer Reports, which puts one Ohio-made vehicle at the top of the list among small sport-utility vehicles.

The ranking compared older vehicle models with 2010 editions and found several with the same or even fewer problems than their newer counterparts. Japanese automakers such as Toyota Motor Corp. and Honda, whose North American manufacturing operations are based in Marysville, were found to be “far ahead” other companies in reliability. That applied to models five years old or more, the publication said.
