Hey Honda people! 👋
Welcome back to the Classic Honda Newsletter. Whether you’re a new Honda owner, or a long-time fan, we’re glad to be in your inbox.
Here’s what’s coming up:
Honda wins more 2025 Kelley Blue Book Consumer Choice Awards than Any Other Car Brand
Honda’s Best Selling CR-V Gets 2026 TrailSport Hybrid version
Over 12 Million Honda Accords produced in America
Latest Honda news!
Honda named 2025’s “Most Trusted Brand” , “Best Overall Brand”, and “Best Value” by KBB Consumer Choice Awards, among others
So get this, Honda won FIVE (5) Kelley Blue Book 2025 Consumer Choice Awards including:
America’s Best Overall Brand
Most Trusted Brand
Best Value Brand
America’s Best In-Vehicle Experience Brand
Best Performance Brand
Yeah, you read that right. Little Honda from Japan was chosen as AMERICA’S Best Performance Brand, not a roaring V8 from American carmakers. And this isn’t some stuffy group of journalists making this decision; it’s YOU!
More specifically, over 12,000 new vehicle shoppers chose Honda as the Best in Class for the KBB Awards categories above.
Of course it’s the Type R, what did you expect? 315-Horsepower in a Civic.
And it’s easy to see why; for starters, Honda just gets it. I mean, being a major player in the American market since 1959 suggests you’re going to learn a thing or two about our country’s automotive market.
Dating back to the Civic and Accord debuts during the 1970s Oil Crisis to now with modern emission standards pushing for EVs, Honda repeatedly sets the standard for fuel efficiency, reliability, and everyday drivability in the American market.
The evolution of the Honda Civic
What is Honda’s secret? Listening to consumers and continuously improving on what worked.
It’s that simple. They improve what works and remove what doesn’t. That is smart. And speaking of smart improvements, let’s get into the New 2026 CR-V reveal below!
2026 Honda CR-V TrailSport Hybrid Full Reveal!
2026 Honda CR-V TrailSport Hybrid
Pop quiz, hot shot: What is America’s Best Selling SUV for the past 25 years? No, it’s not a Ford or Chevy. Surprise, surprise, it’s the Honda CR-V.
So what does Honda decide to do to America’s Best Selling SUV? Why, they make an awesome off-road version that uses their powerful Hybrid system, of course.
Enter the First-Ever 2026 Honda CR-V TrailSport Hybrid.
"Our best-selling Honda CR-V is now even more of an industry benchmark with the addition of a rugged new TrailSport model, which has proven to be incredibly popular on our light trucks…The combination of rugged design elements and capabilities, incredible on-road dynamics and hybrid powertrain makes the Honda CR-V a more compelling SUV than ever before."

The Unexpectedly American Icon: Honda Accord
Built in Marysville, Ohio since 1982
While many car manufacturers moved their car production up north, down south, or even overseas throughout the years, Honda has been building their lovable sedan right here in the U.S. of A since 1982, and have produced over 12 MILLION of them!
We’re Talking Honda Accord!
Every time I get behind the wheel of a Honda Accord, I’m reminded why it continues to set the standard for sedans. With a spacious, well-appointed cabin, refined handling that borders on sports-sedan territory, and a choice of fuel-efficient powertrains—including a very responsive hybrid or a turbo—the Accord delivers on all fronts.
Eleven generations later and it’s no wonder the Accord has once again earned a spot on the prestigious 2025 Top 10 Best Choice lists from Car & Driver. This is a car that doesn’t just check boxes — you should know by now that Honda doesn’t roll like that.
The Accord elevates the entire driving experience for American families, commuters, and anyone who values a smart, reliable, and remarkably well-rounded car.
In a sea of SUVs, Honda continues to make smart decisions by including Honda Sensing’s Automatic Emergency Brakes, Adaptive Cruise Control, Traffic Sign recognition, and more as STANDARD in the Accord sedan.
Prioritizing your safety is just something that can’t be beaten with gimmicks. Come check out the Honda Accord today and see for yourself what Ohio’s favorite son can do!
