Honda Headlights

Honda is one of the Japanese biggest cars, motorcycles, and power equipment manufacturers that has been around since 1959.  Honda also owns a well-known luxury car brand Acura. They are known for their innovative approach to car design and were the first ones to use clear lens multi-reflector headlights in their 1990 Honda Accord model.

Honda Accord Headlights

The Accord continues to be the best-selling Honda, one of the most popular cars in the country and a target for competitive advertising for good reasons. There’s a choice of the roomy sedan, sporty coupe, two refined engines and an array of models. When it comes to safety, the Accord earned a top five-star rating in the more comprehensive NHTSA crash tests. It’s also fun to drive with a double-wishbone front and multilink rear suspension. The 2.4-liter 4-cylinder sedans carry an EPA rating of 34 mpg on the highway. Power players can opt for a 3.5-liter V-6 and team it with a 6-speed manual gearbox on the coupe. A USB port is now standard on all Accords. Honda’s navigation system, offered on EX-L models, includes a rearview camera for sedans.

Honda CR-V Headlights

Honda is preparing to launch an all-new fourth-generation CR-V for 2012. A concept vehicle previewing the design direction of the new model reveals bolder styling with a wide, three-bar grille, curving roofline and tall, angled taillights with a three-dimensional look that wrap further into the body. The CR-V continues to be based on the Civic, which is also new this year. Honda says a more fuel-efficient engine, reduced curb weight and a revamped interior are planned. In keeping with tradition, expect a 4-cylinder as the lone powerplant along with front- and awd models. The CR-V’s cabin will offer more space for passengers plus a lower cargo floor for easier access. A third-row seat is a possibility, although it would only be suitable for kids. Specifications are for 2011 model year.

Honda CR-Z Headlights

Looking for a hybrid yet you’re not ready to settle down with a family-style 4-door? The Honda CR-Z preserves your spirit of independence. All new last year, this sporty 2-seater’s design is influenced by the cult-favorite ’80s era CRX. A 1.5- liter i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine teams with a 10-kW electric motor for a combined output of 122 hp while returning up to 39 mpg on the highway with a continuously variable transmission. Or, stick with the 6-speed manual gearbox and have more fun albeit with slightly lower mpg. A 3-mode drive system with Sport/Normal/Econ settings is standard along with 3-D style gauges and 160-watt audio system. The EX adds HID headlights, foglights, alloy pedals, 360-watt audio, Bluetooth plus optional navigation.

Honda Civic Headlights

With more than eight million sold since 1973, the Civic needs no introduction. Yet the all-new ninth generation for 2012 does. Sedans and coupes gain more sophisticated styling, improved fuel economy and new technology. Civic DX, LX, EX and HF receive a massaged 140-bhp 4-cylinder engine that nets EPA 41 mpg on the highway for the last. Sporty Si models boast a new 201-bhp 2.4-liter four mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. The Civic Natural Gas returns with expanded availability nationwide. Honda gives the Civic Hybrid a larger 1.5-liter gas engine, more powerful electric motor and lithium-ion batteries resulting in 44 mpg ratings for city and highway. A multi-information display, Eco Assist and Econ mode are standard on most Civics.

Honda Crosstour Headlights

Returning for its third year, the Crosstour has jettisoned the Accord prefix from its name. With its identity established as a cross between an SUV and car, the focus turns to equipment upgrades. A rearview camera, Bluetooth, USB audio interface and automatic on/off headlights are now standard. The lineup includes the front-drive EX and EX-L fitted with a 3.5-liter V-6 and 5-speed automatic transmission. In addition to standard heated leather seats and 18-in. alloys, the EX-L offers optional all-wheel drive and navigation. The Crosstour has carlike driving manners and is suitable for light-duty off-road use. While the fastback styling limits the ability to carry oversize goods, there’s an under-floor storage area and split-folding rear seats.

Honda Element Headlights

The Element is crafted like a toolbox for folks with active lifestyles who load it with surfboards, sports equipment or mountain bikes. With a cleverly designed utilitarian cabin, it also makes a fine car kennel. In fact, Honda introduced a Dog Friendly pet accommodation system last year including a nylon webbed divider, a pet bed for the cargo area, second-row seat covers, extendable ramp for loading and unloading Fido and a 12-volt rear ventilation fan. Yet the Element hasn’t completely gone to the dogs. It offers LX, EX and SC models propelled by an economical 4-cylinder engine and a choice of front- or all-wheel drive. Looking neat on the street, the sporty SC has a lowered ride height, 18-in. alloys, monochrome trim and copper-hue gauges.

Honda FCX Clarity Headlights

If you live in Southern California and happen to be a celebrity or just plain lucky, Honda’s FCX Clarity hydrogen-powered car could be yours for three years. Offered on a lease basis only, this vision of the future is a remarkably well-finished vehicle that drives like a regular car. Propelled by an electric motor that runs on electricity generated in an on-board fuel cell, the FCX has a 240-mile EPA driving range and a five-minute refueling time (when you locate a rare hydrogen filling station). The only byproduct is water that drips from the tailpipe. Honda says fuel efficiency is three times that of a gas-powered car or twice that of a conventional hybrid. More than 25 FCXs are on the road with production limited to 200 units worldwide.

Honda Fit Headlights

The Fit is 3-ft. shorter than Honda’s Crosstour, yet it offers more cargo space thanks to its tall profile and cab-forward styling. Changes for 2012 include a stand­ard security system and body color mirrors for the base model. The Fit Sport gains a new grille, black headlight bezels, machine-surface 16-in. alloys and steering wheel audio controls. Bluetooth now comes with the Sport’s optional navigation system. The Fit’s fuel-sipping 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine mates with 5-speed manual or 5-speed automatic trans­missions with paddle shifters on the Sport. Versatile rear Magic Seats can be configured to carry mountain bikes or tall houseplants. A new Fit EV pure electric vehicle with lithium-ion batteries joins the line later in the year.

Honda Insight Headlights

In Honda’s trio of hybrids, the Insight caters to those who seek the versatility of a 5-door hatchback body style with a futuristic design. Changes for 2012 include freshened front and rear styling along with new wheel covers and alloys. Fuel economy also improves thanks to enhanced aerodynamics, energy efficient tires and reduced engine friction. Propulsion continues to be supplied by Honda’s Integrated Motor Assist technology. For the Insight, that means a small 1.3-liter 4-cylinder gas engine is linked to a 10-kW electric motor that together deliver 98 hp. A continuously variable transmission is standard while the top EX model adds paddle shifters for a bit more fun. Upgraded audio systems and optional navigation round out the changes.

Honda Odyssey Headlights

Minivans remain a popular choice with families. So when Honda redesigned its Odyssey last year, it introduced improved interior functionality with things like a 3-mode second-row seat for 8-passenger models. A welcome dose of pizzazz was applied to the exterior with styling cues such as an edgy beltline that makes it easy to spot the van in mall parking lots. In terms of safety, the Odyssey received the coveted NHTSA 5-star crash test rating. It’s also pleasant to drive with carlike ride and handling. A 248-bhp 3.5-liter V-6 swiftly delivers precious cargo whether teamed with the standard 5-speed or exclusive 6-speed automatic on top Touring models. New EX features include a multi-information display with 8-in. screen, Bluetooth and USB port.

Honda Pilot Headlights

Honda’s midsize SUV receives a Hollywood makeover with a big, bold three-bar grille and sleeker front fascia. The eight-passenger cabin gains a redesigned instrument panel along with upgraded audio systems. Honda also has improved fuel economy for the standard 3.5-liter V-6 equipped with Variable Cylinder Management technology. The Pilot continues to offer a choice of four trim levels with front- or awd. Select the top Touring model and be treated to a wealth of luxury features including a DVD rear entertainment system, navigation, Bluetooth, backup sensors and a handy power tailgate. Cargo carrying versatility remains the Pilot’s forte with second- and third-row seats that fold flat into the floor revealing 87.0 cu. ft. of space for gear.

Honda Ridgeline Headlights

Rather than risk billions to build a body-on-frame pickup, Honda created a clever alternative called the Ridgeline. Riding on a stretched Pilot SUV unit-body platform, the Ridgeline offers a smooth car-like ride. Four-wheel independent suspension along with a highly rigid body does the trick. A 250-bhp 3.5-liter V-6 is coupled to a 5-speed automatic transmission and standard full-time all-wheel drive. The Ridgeline’s 5-ft. bed is a bit short by pickup standards. However, it offers half-ton payload capacity, dual-action tailgate and a nifty in-bed trunk. Three trim levels, RT, RTS and RTL, equip the comfortable cabin with plenty of creature comforts. When fitted with optional navigation, the RTL also includes Bluetooth and a rear-view camera.

Honda S2000 Headlights

If there is such a thing as a practical 2-seat roadster, Honda’s S2000 is it. Equally at home on the street or track, the S2000 fills the sports-car gap between the too-cute Mazda MX-5 Miata and the more expensive BMW Z4. Updated last year to include the new S2000 CR (Club Racer), the S2000 is completely carryover for ’09. Both models come standard with power windows and door locks, cruise control and keyless entry, but the S2000 CR comes with exclusive features like firmer suspension, quicker steering, stickier tires and structural enhancements. The CR also gets a removable aluminum hardtop instead of a convertible soft-top, an aero body kit and “high grip” fabric seating surfaces. Standard on the S2000 and optional on the CR are air conditioning and an eight-speaker AM/FM/CD audio system.
