Consumer Reports recently put the 2012 Honda CR-V up against the Mazda CX-5 in a head-to-head small SUV test. The magazine's editors admit that both models excelled in nearly every area tested, but only one could win. So which model championed the test? That would be the 2012 Honda CR-V.

There's a new sheriff in town at Honda Motors. Actually, a more accurate job title would be head of research and development for North America Honda subsidiaries, but let's be honest, that doesn't quite roll of the tongue.

Bueller? Bueller? Bueller? We got to hand it to the marketing folks at Honda, bringing Ferris Bueller back, and in style we might add. The Japanese motor company successfully launched a viral campaign before the big game, and it had many products of the 80s excited to say the least. C-ostarring Matthew Broderick and the redesigned Honda CR-V, the short put a modern twist on the 80s classic Ferris Bueller Day's Off.

That's right, a million miles. Though, we have to admit, even with all of our confidence in the Honda brand, it seems unbelievable.

To put this into better perspective: The average American driver logs nearly 13,500 miles per year. If you break down…

Honda is constantly trying to enhance its vehicle safety. They've got numerous awards to show for it. However, as many automakers claim high standards for safety, we wanted to take a moment to spell out exactly what makes Honda's safety distinct.
