Capital Honda

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.

The new…

Honda is the real deal when it comes to helping people decrease their carbon footprint. Just 12 years after selling their first hybrid vehicle, the Honda Insight, the Japanese automaker sold their 800,000th hybrid vehicle - that averages over 66,000 hybrid vehicles a year!

Here at Capital Honda we're not just telling you this to toot Honda's own horn, but because we believe Honda has vested in doing right when it comes…

The thing Capital Honda finds most interesting about this isn't the fact that Honda is growing their SUV lineup with a new, more compact option. Rather, it's the platform on which it plans to base the smaller SUV - the same features in the best-selling Honda Civic.

The current CUV and SUV lineup from Honda is comprised of the Pilot, CR-Z and Crosstour. All three of these models have proved successful in the U…

Compared to previous years, all was quiet on the Honda front in 2011. Updates were largely subtle and there wasn't a lot of newness. We aren't pointing any fingers, just stating the facts, which were largely the effect of Honda having to overcome not only a catastrophic earthquake and tsunami in Japan, but also record flooding in Thailand. All in all, it was an extremely trying year. As we move into the New…

So, what's new on 2012's Civic CNG / NG ? Bluetooth is standard, and…

Manual transmission vehicles have made a comeback, either to save fuel, for the simplicity, or cost - automatics tend to be hundreds, even thousands of dollars more.

Regardless of why, Honda offers stick shift variants of their new vehicles, including the 2012 Honda CR-Z, already one of the greenest coupes to date.

Honda offers the CR-Z reboot to dealerships including Capital Honda in Okemos. But everyone in Michigan should come in and test drive this two-door…

For several decades now, the Honda Civic has been a forerunner in the compact car segment thanks to dependability and solid performance. In fact, according to AutoGuide, Honda sells more Civics per year in the U.S. then Volkswagen, Chrysler or Mazda sells in total. There are, however, those who see "dependable" as "boring." In response to this view, rumors are milling around in all the right circles, and word on the street is the…

According to J.D. Power and Associates, family SUVs account for one in every seven new vehicles. Of those new SUVs sold, the 2012 Honda Pilot sits highest in popularity among that 14-percent. In fact, the Pilot just took the top spot in the Cars.com SUV Shootout.

Due to high-demand, automakers are boosting their family-friendly SUV models with eye-catching design, better fuel-economy and sharper technology. The "$37,000 Three-row SUV Shootout" tested which model…

A survey from the US Green Building Council found that Honda's HQ in Torrance, CA and several other facilities throughout the US and Canada are "Green Building" approved. This is not the first time Honda has received such honors - the company's first LEED-certified building was named in 1999 - the Gresham, OR parts and service facility.

LEED facilities (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) are buildings designed to minimize energy use and carbon footprints…
