Families that come into the Lithia Honda in Medford dealership are looking for a new Honda that is comfortable, fuel efficient, and above all, safe.  Luckily, we have just the model for them at our Medford, OR dealership: the 2014 Honda Odyssey minivan.

In a recent post here on the Lithia Honda in Medford blog we shared with you a recent award that had been bestowed upon the 2013 Honda Accord by KBB.com.  Now, our attention has been shifted to the 2014 edition of this wildly popular model, and we can't wait to see the accolades it receives.

We know that Lithia Honda in Medford customers are concerned with the fuel rating of the new cars that we have here at our Medford, OR showroom.  After all, when you embark on your end-of-summer roadtrip, you'd rather save your money for nice dinners out or a fun side excursion instead of spending it all at the gas pump.  Plus, we're sure you want to make sure your car is eco-friendly, too.  Luckily, we have some good news for our blog readers about how Honda is doing with its EPA fuel ratings.

In one of our last posts here on the Lithia Honda in Medford blog, we told our readers here in the greater Medford, OR area all about how the Honda Odyssey and Civic have been praised for their impressive residual values.  However, they aren't the only vehicles here at our dealership that are constantly recognized for outstanding value - the 2013 Honda Accord was just named to the top of one of KBB.com's 10 Best lists.

Residual value  What is it?  It's the expected resale value of a vehicle after an anticipated amount of wear and tear from use, and some cars don't hold up over time as well as you might think.  So if you think you're getting a good bargain when you first buy a new car, you may end up paying a lot more over time in maintenance, repairs, and fuel costs.  It's a good idea to know what you're getting into when you choose your next new vehicle, which is why Edmunds.com publishes an annual Best…

We continue to be impressed with the new models from Honda year after year, and given what we've heard about the 2014 Honda Fit, it seems that the next edition of this popular and fuel-sipping model is no exception.  The current 2013 model that we have here at our Medford, OR showroom has been praised for many of its qualities, such as incredible packaging, dependability, and handling, and we can say that we're not at all concerned that the brand is shaking up what is already an outstanding model.

While green automotive technology and fuel-economy awareness are important factors when buying a new Honda car in 2013, this has not always been the case.  One of the first big pieces of legislation that really made Americans think about the impact of pollutants and motor vehicles on the environment was the Clean Air Act of 1963.  Since then, many more pieces of legal authority have been passed to both regulate and alter the way Americans drive, and no other car company has been more committed to cleaning up its inventory than Honda.

Honda will be very busy at this year's Pikes Peak International Hill Climb on June 30, 2013, entering ten cars in nine classes at the iconic race, as well as singing on to be an influential corporate sponsor for the event.
