Car and Drivers 10 Best Cars

 

The Honda Accord has been named to Car and Driver's esteemed 10Best Cars list for a record 27th time. Editors at the highly respected automotive magazine rave that the all-new Accord "fully delivers on Honda's ‘man-maximum, machine-minimum’ philosophy" and that "one big fluid loop develops between man and machine."

Urban SUV Concept

An all-new Honda concept vehicle made its world debut at the North American International Auto Show 2013 (NAIAS) in Detroit. The concept hints at a dynamic, fuel-efficient small SUV with aspirational styling and next-generation connectivity. Its clean character lines are complemented by hidden rear door handles, giving the SUV a coupe-like presence.

The new concept is shorter than the CR-V, making it an ideal size for both city streets and mountain roads. It's poised to join the Honda light-truck lineup, with the Honda-original center-tank layout and a configurable Magic Seat^® for a host of cargo and passenger options.

This vehicle is slated to launch in Japan later this year, with expansion to the U.S. market in 2014.

"Follow Your Dreams"

The Honda Rose Parade float entry, "Follow Your Dreams," made its debut on Jan. 1, 2013. Check out how it started in the beginning stages of construction and made its splendid appearance as the first float in the 124th Rose Parade on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013. The float's design captures the parade theme, "Oh, the Places You'll Go!™," through its imaginative depiction of innovative Honda technologies and Dr. Seuss-inspired features.

Can you spot the three world-champion athletes riding on the float on New Year's Day: U.S. sprinter Carmelita Jeter, and from the summer's "Fierce Five" gymnastics team, McKayla Maroney and Kyla Ross?

The Honda float featured more than 5,000 roses, 11,000 carnations and 2,500 gerberas. A variety of flowers, plants and seeds were used, including lavender dendrobs, pink pincushion protea, white queen Anne's lace, dark blue iris, light pink carnations, orange roses, Kermit green mums, brown flax seed, shiny grey silverleaf, red large kidney beans and cream corn husk, among many others. All of these natural materials are later ground up for mulch after the conclusion of the parade activities.

For the third straight year, Honda's float was propelled by a specially configured hybrid, low-emission engine to help the float function more efficiently and reduce its carbon footprint.

Technically the Honda Accord

Three of our favorite new technoligies in the Honda Accord.

Lane Departure Warning

A small camera mounted at the top of the front windshield tracks lane marking on the road, and it can detect when the driver is making and un-indicated lane departure. Visual alerts will light up on the driver's instrument panel and the system also can provide an audible warning.

Intelligent Multi-Information Display 

The intelligent multi-information display communicates with virtually all your vehicles systems. The 8" screen displays incoming text messages and music information from Pandora or you USB Audio Interface. It also shows performance stats, like fuel consumption and trip range, and you can upload a digital photo for the i-MID's wallpaper.

ECON button 

MPG or MPH? It's your choice. Push the ECON button and your Accord automatically adjusts fuel-consuming systems to maximize efficiency. For better performance, push the button again and go back to taking advantage of Accord's exceptional performance.

10 Quirky Roadside Attractions

Take Your Sonic To The Next Frontier, Time Travel To See Dragons, Flying Saucers & More!
Taking a road trip is one of the best ways to enjoy America’s landscapes—the grandiose, the commonplace and the quirky. You’re probably familiar with must-see destinations like the Grand Canyon, Mount Rushmore and the Lincoln Memorial, but surprising and downright hilarious roadside attractions are scattered along highways and off-roads in between. Drive by or take a detour to see some of these, and you’ll keep everyone in the car so entertained they’ll forget to ask, “Are we there yet?”

1. Coral Castle, Miami, Florida

After Edward Leedskalnin’s fiancee canceled their wedding in 1923, he spent 28 years building an enormous tribute to her. Coral Castle is an elaborate maze of strange stone structures as well as a beautiful home. What’s amazing is that Leedskalnin did all the work by hand, all by himself. He dug up about 1,100 tons of coral and then hand-carved it into blocks to build an entire estate complete with coral furniture, fountains and sculptures, including a 28-ton, 25-foot-tall obelisk. The site has survived several major hurricanes and has inspired other artists, musicians and authors: Billy Idol’s “Sweet Sixteen” is about Leedskalnin's former lover, and the music video was filmed in the Coral Castle.

2. Farnham’s Fantasy Farm (aka Farnham Colossi), Unger, West Virginia

When the national highway system was brand new, businesses used large mascots to attract travelers who were getting their kicks on Route 66. Today, roadside giants are a rarity—unless you go to George and Pam Farnham’s house. They welcome visitors to a collection of “colossi” in their yard, including King Midas, the 25-foot-tall muffler man made of fiberglass.

3. Ben & Jerry Flavor Graveyard, Waterbury, Vermont

Every year, the popular ice-cream maker “kills” 8-12 flavors with the lowest sales and honors their memory with tombstones and cheeky poems. As part of the factory tour, you can taste the flavors that are still “alive” and nominate expired flavors you’d like to see come back to life.

4. UFO Watchtower, Hooper, Colorado

When Judy Messoline bought her ranch, she didn’t know it was a mecca for UFO watchers. Rather than turn away flying-saucer enthusiasts, she erected a viewing platform, set up some campgrounds and, of course, opened a gift shop. Now her watchtower has a reputation as one of the best places in the world to view UFOs.

5. Oregon Vortex and House of Mystery, Gold Hill, Oregon

In this “portal to the paranormal,” the rules of physics and nature don’t seem to apply. Broomsticks stand on their own, tennis balls roll uphill, and people shrink and grow before your eyes. Some believe it’s a vortex that defies scientific explanation, while others think it’s just a series of optical illusions. But even skeptics will be amazed, or at least amused.

6. Rancho Shazam, Greenbrae, California

Situated on one of the most desirable waterfront locations near San Francisco Bay, Rancho Shazam is a collector’s enclave that includes a foam Stonehenge, several cast-iron Eiffel Towers, a giant Tin Man sculpture (plus yellow brick road and floating bicycle), among many other amusements.

7. Dorothy’s House and the Land of Oz, Liberal, Kansas

Visit an accurate-to-the-film replica of Dorothy Gale’s house and follow the yellow brick road to an animatronic version of the Land of Oz. Don’t expect a Hollywood-budget production, though. Instead, bask in the DIY charm of a small-town tribute to The Wizard of Oz.

8. Corn Palace, Mitchell, South Dakota

Built in 1892 to show off the fertility of the soil, the Corn Palace is decorated with more than 275,000 ears of corn in a rainbow of colors, and the design changes each year. All the corn is grown naturally from special seeds, so no artificial colors are used. If you’re impressed by how much corn South Dakota can grow, that’s the point.

9. Dr. Evermor’s Forevertron, Sumpter, Wisconsin

Tom Every (a.k.a. Dr. Evermor) combined ordinary salvage like carburetors and old X-ray machines with more impressive parts—like the decontamination chamber from the Apollo Space Mission and a pair of Thomas Edison’s bipolar dynamo generators—to make the world’s largest scrap-metal sculpture. Dr. Evermor says the 300-ton sculpture is actually a Victorian-era time travel device powered by lightning.

10. Kaskaskia Dragon, Vandalia, Illinois

No matter how old you are, the spectacle of a 35-foot metal dragon breathing real fire is a welcome stop on any road trip. Kaskaskia Dragon is also a popular destination for GPS scavenger hunts, or “geocaching.”

The Gift Of Music

As the official ride of country music, Chevrolet is proud to help “Keep the Music Playing” as a supporter of the charity of choice for the Country Music Association.

Chevrolet has a long-standing commitment to the CMA Foundation and its “Keep the Music Playing” (KTMP) campaign, which benefits music education in the greater Nashville area. This year, Chevrolet donated a 2013 Chevy Traverse to help in the servicing and maintenance of musical instruments for the district’s 140 schools. The Chevy Traverse will ferry technicians and instruments from the new state-of-the-art musical instrument repair shop back to the schools.

“Chevrolet is pleased to be able to play a part in this important program,” says Tom Wilkinson, communications manager for the iconic GM brand. Chevrolet is a sponsor of the CMA Country Christmas and other televised CMA events.

Cold Weather Tips

As the weather begins to get colder and winter is upon us we wanted to remind drivers of a few cold weather safety tips. Whether you encounter icy or snow covered roads on your daily commute or you are planning a to take a ski trip in the mountains we want to make sure you are safe on the roads. 

Make sure you can see. Replace windshield wiper blades. Clean the inside of your windows thoroughly. Make sure your windshield washer system works and is full of an anti-icing fluid. We recommend you drain older fluid by running the washers until new fluid appears: Switching fluid colors is helpful for deciphering. 
Give yourself a brake. Learn how to get maximum efficiency from your brakes before an emergency. It's easy to properly use anti-lock brakes: Stomp, stay and steer. Stomp on the pedal as if you were trying to snap it off. Stay hard on the pedal. Steer around the obstacle.  If you drive on icy roads or roads that are covered with snow, modify your ABS technique: After you "Stomp" and the ABS begins cycling — you will feel pulses in the pedal or hear the system working — ease up slightly on the pedal until the pulsing happens only once a second.
Get a grip. To have adequate snow traction, a tire requires at least 6/32-inch deep tread, according to The Tire Rack. (New passenger-car tires usually have 10/32-inch of tread.) Make sure to visit the Greg May Honda Service Department or a tire shop to have them check the tread on your tires to make sure it it has enough traction for icy or snow covered roads.

More safety tips on driving in snow and ice can be found here.
