Hybrids have received a lot of praise as eco-friendly vehicles, but they've also gotten a bit of negative attention because of the disposal process for batteries once they can no longer power these fuel-sipping vehicles.  While the batteries help lower the car's emissions, it's hard to discard them in an environmentally responsible way.  However, Honda is proving that their popular line of new Prius vehicles (and their hybrid batteries) are kind to the environment at every stage of their lives with a new battery recycling process.

Good Housekeeping magazine has always been a smart proponent of new technologies and products that can change the way Americans live their lives.  Way back at the turn of the century, the publication was touting the benefits of pure, real food long before organic entered the national lexicon.  Their support helped to bring about the 1906 Pure Food and Drug Act.  We know that the strength of the magazine's support still carries a lot of importance, so we're very proud that Honda LaneWatch has been given the prestigious Very Innovative Products (VIP) Award.

For more than 20 years, Strategic Vision has been the trusted voice in new car ratings and evaluation. Of course, each year, new Honda models have made the organization's Total Value Index (TVI).

The new Honda Odyssey and Ridgeline scored the highest?

If you were impressed upon first hearing that Honda would feature standard backup cameras in nine out of its twelve 2013 models, you aren't alone. In fact, we here at Paragon Honda, have been flooded with questions about which new Honda are the lucky ones.
