There's nothing quite like a parade in small-town America. The floats made by kids at the local high school. The middle school's marching band. The people on stilts. The new Honda.

For those drawn to big performance in a small package, you'll love the new 2012 Honda CR-Z Sport Hybrid Coupe. The model was named "Most-Efficient Two Seater" by the Environmental Protection Agency after it debuted for 2011. Today, hybrid-lovers can grab a-hold of the 2012 variant which contains all the same efficient technology with one minor change. Instead of sitting upon silver mesh seats, Honda CR-Z drivers can chose a new sleek black fabric.

Peaking inside the sporty coupe, Honda shoppers will quickly recognize a highly technological interior. Set against black material, the instrument display flashes a bright blue…

Official pricing of the 2012 Honda Civic Natural Gas variant is a base MSRP of $26,155. The vehicle will be available for test drives at 200 dealerships throughout the US, in 38 states total. There will also be vehicles coming to Canadian dealers.

 

Honda proudly continues to make their Civic models available with Compressed Natural Gas Option at dealers like Pflueger Honda in Honolulu, HI.

 

CNG Civic is powered by a modified version of a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine found in regular Civic models, matted to a five-speed automatic.

When you are looking for a top competitor in the hybrid market, there should be no hesitation after test driving the Honda Insight. For 2012, this hybrid car will get a bit of a refresh, both in performance and style.

 

Coming to Pflueger Honda in Honolulu, HI next month, the Japanese auto maker previewed this hybrid vehicle at the Frankfurt Motor Show in Germany weeks ago.

 

Some of the additions and improvements within 2012's model include better air conditioning, more angular design for vehicle aerodynamics, and a bump up in fuel economy. Lower front suspension is now constructed from…

I took my Lexus in for servicing to Pflueger Honda. I didn't realize that they serviced cars other than Honda but a friend of mine recommended them to me. My advisor, Lee Ann Shishido, did a great job

The roles of the automaker and the car magazine are well delineated: The former makes the cars, and the latter reports on them. Once in a while, though, we see the two changing hats, as automakers produce their own brand magazines and magazines build their own kit cars and whatnot. But this collaboration, for better or worse, brings the two that much closer. And if any publication was going to break the mold, we suppose it would have to be Intersection.

For those not familiar, Intersection is a different kind of car magazine from what you typically pick up at the news stand - more for fashion-forward hipsters than for grease-monkeys and gearheads. The publication typically features spreads featuring skinny models in skinny jeans next to Nissan Cubes and vintage Volvos - or an Audi submerged in a swimming pool - but for their latest project, the French edition of the magazine teamed up with Honda for the special-edition CR-Z you see here.

The unique hybrid coupe is distinguished by a matte beige paint job with orange steel wheels riding on matching orange tires for the summer, and black wheels with black tires for the winter. Eley Kishimoto outfitted the interior. It was unveiled just the other day at the Galerie Nikki Diana Marquardt in Paris, and while it looks to be a one-off for the time being, Honda France is reportedly considering a limited run for public consumption. Follow the jump for a video (in French) on the paint selection process and check out the images in the gallery for a closer look.

It is our pleasure to serve you Allen! (Hear what Allan wrote about Pflueger Honda Service experience...Yahoo review)
Service dept opened right on time at 6:30a. Warmly greeted and processed by svc advisor, L. Shishido, who had svc rec at her finger tips. She even advised me of a benefit that I didn't know existed - free 6th oil change. Liked the availability of coffee, morning paper, internet, and clean lounge. Keep up the good work! No problems - I was headed for home in one hour. Will be back again. Mahalo again to LeeAnn.

No. 1 2012 Honda Pilot EX-L; 752.1 points

(See the scorecard or the Monroney sticker)

What we liked: The Pilot is "way roomy," Healey said. "It really delivers on the space promise," a point of view echoed by Wiesenfelder and Varela. "Switches, stalks and controls are nicely weighted and portray a high level of refinement and precision," Davis said. "I loved the large LCD screen in the center console," Thomas said. "It had huge type, displayed all your music information and it came loaded with great iPod integration, Bluetooth audio and a DVD player in back for the kids." "It has more features than I'd expect of a Honda at this price," Wiesenfelder said. "There are also tons of little nooks and crannies to store all of the stuff that families haul around with them on a daily basis," Varela said. "However, most of them are uncovered, meaning your clutter will forever be visible."

What we didn't: As she asked with the Traverse, Varela was stunned by one Pilot shortcoming: "I have to use a key in the ignition?" Isn't this 2011?" Others disliked the truck feel and level of road and wind noise. "The ride is firm and there's noticeable wind noise at highway speeds," Wiesenfelder said, an opinion seconded by Davis and Thomas. Thomas attributed some of that noise to the Pilot's boxy shape, a design that drew darts from others, too. "The Pilot's clunky, squarish styling is no gift to the eye," Healey said. At least, he said, "the new grille finally axes that atrocious 'heating element' that has uglified Pilot's face for years."

The verdict: "The Pilot remains a nice balance of size, roominess, efficiency and versatility," Wiesenfelder said, "and it appears that Honda is becoming more generous with features for the money." "A great choice for growing families with a sense of adventure," Davis said. "The Pilot is the winner for me because of the high level of quality and comfort teamed to all the great entertainment features," Thomas said. "I'm not sure how you top it."

Features common to all: All models have Bluetooth phone connectivity, power windows and locks, antilock brakes, traction and stability control, and front-, side-impact and side curtain airbags.

Key Pilot features:

• As-tested price: $36,170
• 18/25 mpg city/highway
• Can seat eight (most, tied with Traverse)
• Backup camera, no backup warning
• Auto climate control for front and rear
• Maximum towing capacity: 2,000 pounds
• Rear entertainment system (only one in Shootout with it)
• Power liftgate115-volt house-style outlet
• USB input for MP3 player
