"According the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death for teens in the U.S. Mile for mile, teen fatality rates are triple those of other drivers. If that's a scary statistic for the teen drivers themselves, it's a horrifying one for parents. And during these summer months - when teens often have more freedom and spend more time behind the wheel - the roads represent even graver danger. June, July and August are the deadliest months for teens aged 15 to 19."

A Honda manufacturing plant, HPPG, celebrated its 10th anniversary of manufacturing transmissions on May 12th, 2016. Over the 10 years it has been there, HPPG has grown from 179 associates in 2006 to over 500 today.

Ever since the tenth generation Honda Civic arrived on dealership lots last November, they have been flying off our lot like hot cakes. With innovative technologies, class-leading performance and gas mileage, and a driving experience a cut above anything else in its class, it's no wonder this car is being snatched up so readily. Yet, like every super hero, the Civic also has its origin story.

Since 2005, the North American market has been without a new Civic. For more than a decade, the European market has enjoyed an ever evolving thing of beauty, while we have had to patiently wait for our turn. Well, it appears that our turn is not too far away. Recently, Honda issued a press release announcing that the Civic hatchback prototype, unveiled earlier this month in Geneva, will make its North American debut in New York at the end of the month...

Market trends are showing a steep incline of crossovers and SUVs as the vehicle of choice for millennials just starting their families. SUVs offer space and seating options that can only be beaten by the less-fashionable minivan.

However, there are families of all shapes and sizes. A smaller family may find a sedan is the perfect fit, and a multigenerational family may prefer the improved cabin and cargo space a minivan affords.

That's why Kelley Blue Book searches all segments of vehicle looking specifically for features that make a car great for families, like safety and entertainment.

If it's fancy, it fits in the 2016 Honda Fit. You may assume that an affordable compact hatchback doesn't come equipped with anything particularly impressive, but the Fit is designed to disprove such unflattering theories.

The base Fit comes equipped with such tech-savviness as standard Bluetooth, a five-inch display, rearview camera, and automatic headlights. Step up just one trim to the EX model, and you'll be spoiled by a keyless ignition, seven-inch touchscreen, Honda LaneWatch™ blind-spot monitor, Siri Eyes Free, and more. Even posh leather upholstery s available.

Many people have a tendency to get a little nauseous when they try to read in the car; that's why audiobooks can prove to be a delightful compromise for those looking to get their literary fix when in transit.

There's nothing we love more than to bring you an exclusive look at an upcoming Honda model. Our team here at Honda of Ames is proud to introduce you to the 2016 Honda Civic. The 10th generation of this sedan just made its world debut, showing off the sporty style it will be bringing to the lineup.
