"The
Accord and CR-V remain segment standouts for their efficiency,
packaging, performance and value," said Michael Accavitti, vice

strength of the Honda lineup is clearly resonating in the marketplace
and we are proud to be recognized for offering true value to customers."

and ample standard feature content. For the second consecutive year,
the CR-V was named a Best Value, with Kiplinger's noting the model's
outstanding cargo capacity and technology features.
