Scott Robinson Honda Confirms, New HondaLink™ Connected Car System is Unveiled.
Scott Robinson Honda confirms, Honda has unveiled HondaLink™, a new in-vehicle connectivity system that will debut this fall on the all-new, ninth-generation 2013 Honda Accord.
Featuring the first automotive OEM application of Aha™ by Harman, HondaLink™ will provide a personalized experience connecting drivers to thousands of cloud-based news, information and media feeds from around the world, using an intuitive, audio-system based interface.
Honda’s intuitive new HondaLink™ smartphone application allows owners to preset content on their phone. Once in the car, consumers can enjoy personalized content accessible via voice recognition, steering wheel mounted controls and in-dash audio system controls. With a tethered smartphone serving as a conduit to a wealth of cloud-based media, HondaLink™ creates a unique, connected driving experience.
Through the Aha service, for example, HondaLink™ users can listen to Facebook and Twitter audio newsfeeds, podcasts from NPR, location-based personalized restaurant listings from Yelp!, and access internet music services such as Slacker. The service is free and instantly accessible from the cloud.
Aha delivers a user-friendly experience requiring infrequent smartphone software updates, with in-vehicle content and channel access updating simply and automatically throughout the vehicle life. And content available from HondaLink™ will grow as the system continues to expand its services for Honda owners. HondaLink will also incorporate Pandora Internet radio and voice-to-text SMS text services with pre-programmed responses, which Honda introduced on the 2012 CR-V.
With its support of local charities and environmental causes, Scott Robinson Honda has established itself as an integral part of the community, and has received industry wide recognition for its commitment to Green practices.

First Fit EV Delivered in California
Congratulations go out to automotive pioneers Matt and Becky Walton, who recently became the first U.S. customers for the 2013 Honda Fit EV. Their new high-efficiency hatchback will become a daily driver for the couple, who will enjoy the ability to travel up to 82 miles on a single charge with EPA ratings of 132 MPGe city/105 MPGe highway/118 MPGe combined. Further, based on the number of kilowatt-hours of electricity needed to travel 100 miles—just 29 for the Honda—the Fit EV is the most efficient all-electric car in the world.
For added practicality, it also boasts one of the quickest recharging rates: Owners will be able to re-energize the Fit EV in under three hours using a 240-volt charger unit. And for the Waltons, the car has the benefit of coming from one of their favorite automakers. The couple first started buying Hondas back in the early 1970s, and the vehicle that will become their alternative choice now that they have the Fit EV is their Honda Odyssey minivan.
Currently available only in California and Oregon, the 2013 Honda Fit EV can be leased for as little as $389 per month for 36 months.
“It’s truly an honor to take delivery of the first Honda Fit EV and participate in the advancement of all-electric vehicles in the real world,” said Matt Walton. “The Honda Fit EV is not only a sustainable and energy efficient transportation option with the highest fuel-efficiency rating of any EV, but it has the added bonus of being fun-to-drive and can fully recharge from empty in less than three hours.”

More Chrome! Facelifted Honda Odyssey debuts in China
This is the 2013 Honda Odyssey for the Chinese auto market. Honda didn’t change that much but what they did is very good. Biggest new thing is the grill with three extra chromed bars! Chinese car buyers do dig chrome a lot and Honda knows, there is more shiny stuff at the back as well.
The current 2011 car, single chrome bar instead of triple, less impressive indeed.
2013 Odyssey, huge chrome bar over the whole back! More new chrome around the light clusters. Honda is good. The facelifted Honda Odyssey was expected to debut at the Beijing Auto Show in April but it didn’t show up. The shiny Honda will now be launched on the Chinese auto market later this month. Power comes from a 2.4 with 180hp, mated to a 5-speed automatic. Price will range from 220.000 to 280.000 yuan. The Odyssey is made in China by the Guangzhou-Honda joint venture.
2011 Odyssey, no chrome at the back at all.
Only 10 in the morning here in Beijing, but Honda already made my day…
