Used Honda Accord, CR-V Among Kiplinger’s Best Used Values

Buying a used or CPO automobile is an art, at least when done correctly, because it can be so hard to figure out which vehicles are going to give someone the most value for the dollar. Obviously, if someone could afford a brand-new vehicle, that's what they'd get. But for those who need to get as much car as possible for the lowest sticker price, we get it, and we here at Planet…

2013 Honda Fit EV Named One of Greenest Vehicles

Once upon a time, "green" was just the color of grass, money, and that green light in "The Great Gatsby." But today it holds an entirely new set of connotations, particularly in the automotive industry, where it now is synonymous with "energy efficient" and "environmentally friendly."

Those are, of course, two things that have become increasingly popular to both Honda and North Plainfield consumers, which means it has also become increasingly popular to us here…

Honda CR-V and Odyssey Named Among Best Used Vehicles

Honda vehicles have long been recognized as some the most reliable automobiles on the planet, and here at Planet Honda, we certainly value Certified Pre-Owned Honda models as much as the next person. Our dealership stocks a ridiculously large supply of Honda Civic, Accord, and Pilot vehicles from a number of different model years, but a couple of our CPO models are especially well-regarded: the Honda CR-V crossover and the Honda Odyssey minivan.

Understand Your Car's Brakes

What is it?

Brake pads, linings and rotors are parts of your car's brake system and are housed next to each of the wheels. They push against one another to create friction, which stops the car.

There are two kinds of brake systems: disc brakes and drum brakes. Disc brakes are the most common system in use today, and they're very much like the hand brakes on a bicycle…

How to remove those pesky car stickers

How to Remove A Sticker From Your Car

Remove a Sticker

Stickers on cars can symbolize just about anything under the sun. They can show support for a certain political candidate, identify you as a proud parent of an honor student or the fact that you just love that one special dog breed. Others are required by local laws, like city stickers. Some even come attached to your new car straight from the dealer.

But political campaigns and straight A's end at some point, and those city stickers need to be replaced every year.

While removing stickers isn't as easy as…

Honda Concept M

Yes, it looks a bit, uh, toothy, but what you see here is a concept that previews a brand new small MPV specifically designed for the Chinese market. Called the Concept M, the swoopy Honda was designed in Japan and the automaker is currently aiming to launch a production version in China sometime in 2014.

Honda hasn't released many details about its small van concept, simply saying that it "offers the attributes of a passenger car while adding new value through the realization of a comfortable and spacious…

2014 Honda Odyssey To Feature In-Vehicle Vacuum

There's no question that minivans aren't as popular as they used to be, thanks in large part to the rampant onset of the crossover utility vehicle. But that just means those who engineer minivans are going to have to pick up the pace in terms of what these family-movers will be able to do.

While it's unlikely that we can expect the 2014 Honda Odyssey to make Julienne Fries, we were pleasantly…
