Stephens Honda

Why try and fix a good thing? The Honda CR-V crushes the competition by continuing to set sales records as the top-selling CUV (compact utility vehicle) in its fifth year of production. The popular CR-V is now entering a new phase of improvement with the release of the 2012, fourth-generation edition. Despite an earthquake, a tsunami, and massive flooding in Thailand, the 2012 Honda CR-V should be on Honda dealer lots by early 2012.

Stephens Honda in Bloomington, IN, is happy to present the all new Honda Fit - but many consumers are wondering if the US will ever get to see the Honda Fit EV.

One of the prime reasons Stephens Honda is so proud to sell new Honda vehicles to drivers in the Bloomington area is for the lineup's super-low carbon emissions. The Japanese automaker's commitment to preserving the environment is shown on the Carbon Disclosure Project's 2011 Global 500 Report.

One of the most desirable cars in Honda's current lineup is the Honda Fit, which is the Japanese automaker's top selling car in its class. The revitalized 2012 Honda Fit coming soon to Stephens Honda in Bloomington, Indiana will be given interior and exterior updates.

Honda has such a soft spot for Mexico that the Japanese auto maker has decided to buy land in Mexico for a second facility in Mexico to not only produce cars, but also create jobs.

The Celeya campus will cost a grand total of $800,000,000 and will be home to the next-gen Honda Fit for all suppliers in North America.

Honda already has a facility in El Salto that currently produces Honda cars?

The Ridgeline has been the perfect vehicle for drivers looking for comfort and need cargo space.  It has been a success for over five years in the U.S. For 2012, Honda is redesigning the Ridgeline, reportedly optimizing not only the pickups aesthetics, but fuel economy as well. Unfortunately, Honda has not said much beyond these two points.  But, don't worry we'll keep you updated as more information becomes available.

Stephens Honda does, however, know that Honda plans to add a new-trim level to the Ridgeline model range. That's right, the 2012 Honda Ridgeline lineup will be…

The most obvious change revealed to date is the re-styled exterior. Certain to please consumers who found the aesthetic of the 2011 Honda Pilot a little too aggressive, it features softer lines and a far more approachable  presence.

For those who liked the previous Honda Pilot don't worry because the 2012 model still has a commanding presence.  Plus, you have something else to look forward to: improved fuel…
