For some, such as with children or dogs or carpools, the convenience of four doors is needed. Takes Back Seat to No One. With touches such as 16 "alloy wheels on EX and above, there is no reason sedan you should anything less than stylish.

You may know what kind of Civic matches your own style. Now comes the next step: getting personal with it. The 2012 Civic makes it a snap with i-MID, or intelligent Multi-Information Display, that sits front and center in the Civic's instrument panel (LX and above).



The Interface with a New Face
The new Civic has new tricks, not the least being the new intelligent Multi-Information Display (i-MID) (LX and above). The intelligent Multi-Information Display (i-MID) quickly communicates vital info such as fuel consumption, as well as Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink®[2] and turn-by-turn directions for models equipped with available navigation system.

A Newer Way to Navigate
The available Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System with voice recognition guides you to your destinations. For 2012, the Navi system includes FM traffic, a subscription-free service that alerts you to traffic conditions (available on EX and above).

Hands on the Wheel
On EX and above models, Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® makes calling on-the-go easier. Plus, steering wheel-mounted controls put virtually every onboard system a mere button-push away (LX and above).

The Latest in Audio
The USB Audio Interface (LX and above) lets you bring your music library and play it through the audio system, and it will keep your iPod® charged along the way.



The new i-MID is your go-to for every important tidbit of drive-related information. See current song playing, current mpg-and even turn-by-turn directions if you opt for the available Navigation system [ The Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System™ is available on EX and EX-L models in the United States, except Alaska. Please see your Honda dealer for details].

Bluetooth® Capability
The list of advanced i-MID functions is a long one, including Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® for hands-free phone calls. The system pairs easily with your compatible phone, and is also ready for Bluetooth® Audio, so you can stream your music too. [ The Bluetooth® word mark and logos are owned by the Bluetooth SIG, Inc., and any use of such marks by Honda Motor Co., Ltd., is under license].

Crystal Clear
Not only is the i-MID helpful and customizable, it's pretty, thanks to its high-resolution color TFT LCD display—the same kind of technology found on LCD monitors and the latest smartphones.

To help keep you on course and away from danger, Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA®) helps sense oversteer or understeer, and then adjusts brake pressure at each wheel and/or reduces engine power to help restore driver control.

Standard 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes (ABS), with Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), help you maintain control during hard braking. Properly inflated tires are crucial for safe operation, so the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)alerts the driver when a tire's pressure reaches a significantly low level. Passive Systems: ProtectionThe Civic has been engineered to help protect you and your passengers when a frontal collision just cannot be avoided. The Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure utilizes a network of connected structural elements to distribute frontal crash energy more evenly throughout the front of the vehicle.Airbags Standard front, front side and side curtain airbags help reduce the likelihood of injuries in a collision. Honda's Safety PhilosophyHonda is committed to providing safety for everyone—that means crash protection not only for our own drivers and passengers, but also for the occupants of other vehicles, and injury mitigation for pedestrians. We are dedicated to identifying and implementing advanced designs and features that help enhance the safety of vehicles on the road.

Honda Ridgeline 2011


Apparently, consumers agree.
In fact, Honda only sold 16,142
Ridgelines in 2010, and when
you compare that to the fact
that General Motors sold
24,642 of the somewhat

underwhelming Chevrolet
Colorado pickups, the business
case for the Ridgeline seems
very weak, especially in lieu
of the recent death of Honda's
other offbeat all-terrain
offering, the Element.

According to USA Today,
however, the Ridgeline isn't

American Honda's executive
vice president, John Mendel,
says the Ridgeline has
developed a very strong

offering the Ridgeline, let's
hope the automaker can
broaden its appeal to truck
