Honda Element
The Honda Element sport-utility remains one of the most distinctive and useful shapes on the road. It's relatively short -- 7 inches shorter than Honda's smallest sedan -- and surprisingly tall. But behind that cubist philosophy is a level of versatility that sets it apart from many other small wagons and compact SUVs.
As opposed to a conventional four-door setup,
the Honda Element has "clamshell" rear doors that pivot backward a
full 90 degrees. Without a B-pillar to intrude, opening both side doors creates
an extra-large portal through which you can easily load passengers or bulky
cargo.
Although the theater-style rear seats aren't
a breeze to get out of (the front doors have to be opened first), they provide
plenty of visibility and legroom and can be configured in multiple ways. And
with the rear seats removed, you've got an impressive 75 cubic feet of cargo
space to play with.
The Honda Element easily accommodates the lifestyles of all kinds of people on road and off with smooth four-cylinder power, crisp and balanced handling, and optional all-wheel-drive traction.
If you do have your heart set on a new Element, though, time is running out, as 2011 marks the end of the line for the model.

The 2010 CR-V received 5-star frontal and 5-star side-impact crash-test ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) [1].

Plus, six airbags, including side curtain airbags with a rollover sensor, help protect driver and passengers in sufficient impacts.
Edmunds.com named the CR-V a 2010 "Top Recommended" vehicle because of its car-like driving manners, good value, cool technology and comfy interior. Of the CR-V's safety, Edmunds.com stated, "Crash test scores don't get much better [2]." On the CR-V's versatility, Edmunds.com liked its ample cargo space and innovative storage solutions. Edmunds also appreciated the CR-V's reputation for reliability and drivability saying it's still one of the strongest in the business...offering some of the most responsive handling in its class.Stop by Pflueger Honda to test drive a 2010 CR-V today or call us at 447-2131 for more information!

The 2010 Honda Civic and Element named Top Safety Picks by IIHS.
The 2010 Honda Civic and Element named Top Safety Picks by IIHS.
Despite their drastically
different appearances and segments, the 2010 Honda Civic and the 2010 Honda
Element have quite a bit in common. Both blend surprising versatility with
exceptional modern style. Both balance impressive performance with intelligent
efficiency. And now, both have the honorable distinction of being named Top
Safety Picks by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety
(IIHS).
On both the 2010 Civic and
Element, Honda's commitment to safety is beyond reproach. The company's
legendary emphasis on collision avoidance and protection pays serious real-world
dividends when it comes to the safety of Honda drivers and passengers, drivers
and passengers of other vehicles and pedestrians.
Honda's dedication to occupant protection begins in the very
construction of their award-winning vehicles. For example, the body design of
the 2010 Civic features Honda's exclusive Advance Compatibility
Engineering?, an intricate and intelligent system of construction
that connects and reinforces a network of structural elements within the frame
itself, ensuring a more even distribution of frontal crash energy. The result is
a frame better equipped to manage and dispense the intense energy of a
collision, and thus better equipped to protect those inside it.
The unibody-constructed 2010
Element features similar intelligent engineering in its sides, where reinforced
side-impact door beams have been seamlessly integrated into the vehicle. By
providing additional structural support in the event of a collision on either
side, Honda has turned a potential vulnerability into an area of
strength.
After reinforcing the frame of
each vehicle, Honda turned its attention toward driver control, integrating a
number of advanced systems that ensure pinpoint precision, impressive capability
and exceptional stopping power. The newest Civic harnesses a spirited 140-hp
engine with the impressive agility and responsiveness of a MacPherson strut
front and multi-link rear suspension setup, as well as the superior wheel-slip
prevention of Honda's available Vehicle Stability Assist?
(VSA®) system with traction control. Standard antilock brakes with
brakeforce distribution and available brake assist features ensure confident
stopping ability to go along with the Civic's ample
get-up-and-go.
The latest Element also sports
Honda's advanced Vehicle Stability Assist? feature, and complements
it with a MacPherson strut front and compact double wishbone rear suspension
setup (with standard stabilizer bar). The ultra-responsive handling these
systems provide is equaled by the impressive capability of the Element's
available Real-Time
In the event of a collision, the
new Civic comes ably equipped with some of the most advanced airbags available.
In addition to front-side and side-curtain bags, the Civic features dual-stage,
multiple-threshold front airbags, which (if needed) inflate at a safe rate
determined by the severity of the collision. Honda's intuitive Occupant Position
Detection System uses sensors to determine the size and position of a passenger,
and inflates (or prevents inflation of) the side airbag in order to provide the
best protection possible. The Element also features six standard airbags, but
adds a special sensor that triggers the side-curtain bags in the event of a
rollover.
Both the Civic and Element house
small but safety-enhancing features like daytime running lights, three-point
safety belts and special child seat tethers and anchors. The Civic adds standard
active head restraints to help mitigate the jarring effect a sudden impact can
have on the neck.
Though they sit atop two starkly different classes, both the 2010 Honda Element and 2010 Honda Civic are cut from the same cloth. With such an emphasis on safety, it's little wonder why both were named Top Safety Picks by the crash-safety experts, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
The All-New 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour Is Here!
An exciting new crossover is ready to compete!
The highly anticipated, brand new 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour has arrived and is at Pflueger Honda in Honolulu, Hawaii today! With a versatile crossover-style body design based on the much-loved Honda Accord, the 2010 Accord Crosstour is equipped to do great things for you and your family.
Boldly crossing the line between hatchback and wagon, the finely sculpted 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour is a mold-breaker. With spotlight-grabbing looks and performance, the 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour joins Honda's diverse lineup, taking its place between the Pilot and the CR-V. The incomparable 2010 Crosstour stands ready to conquer the Toyota Venza for supremacy in the midsize crossover segment.
Like the Accord sedan, the Crosstour is a four-door model with room for five. Comfortable front bucket seats and a spacious, split/folding second-row bench offer you versatility when hauling people and cargo. Based on the Accord's platform, you can also expect the Crosstour to be fashionably fitted with the latest features offered across Honda's line including power accessories, refined leather upholstery, steering wheel-mounted cruise controls and an available voice-activated navigation system.
The Accord Crosstour has a decidedly different physique with its height, sloping roofline and a boldly stylized rear hatch with a black accent panel that complements the tinted rear windows. The Accord's signature deep accent line, which runs the length of the vehicle, becomes convex in the rear quarter, further drawing out the ultra-sporty, angled wraparound taillights. The back of the Accord Crosstour is rounded over at the edges for a smooth, sleek appearance, and it's completed with a dual exhaust.
Automotive writers are speculating that the Crosstour will offer a choice of two four-cylinder engines (the same as the Accord sedan). One of these engines is thought to be a 16-valve, DOHC i-VTEC® powerplant that develops 177 hp and 190 lb/ft of torque. A 271-hp 3.5-liter V6 is also expected to be offered. For surefooted handling, the Crosstour will likely offer all-wheel drive.
The Honda Accord Crosstour's cargo capacity is good for weekend jaunts and shopping trips. For securing what you bring, the Accord Crosstour also offers a hard cargo cover and cargo ties.
In the Accord Crosstour, you can enjoy all the aspects of a Honda Accord with even more versatility and space. When you're ready to experience something new and inspiring on the road, the dynamic, sporty 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour is positioned just right.
