The dynamic and youthful concept hints at the styling direction of an all-new small SUV slated to launch in Japan by the end of 2013, followed by the rest of the world from 2014.

Honda has announced the release of the Spring Edition of Honda Dream magazine, their high-quality digital addition to the popular quarterly Honda customer magazine.
The spring edition is packed with exciting stories and inspirational people. For instance, they visit a school in Slough, Berkshire to meet some of the students who have taken part in Honda's 'School of Dreams' initiative. In its fifth year, the scheme actively encourages 11 to 12-year-olds to pursue their dreams, giving them the skills and strategies to turn these into reality.

A while ago we announced the launch of the new 1.6 litre diesel. As expected, it is now being added to the Honda Civic range. The new engine boasts 120-PS and achieves 78.5-mpg whilst emitting just 94g/km CO2 - thus qualifying it for free road tax and exemption from the London Congestion charge (subject to registration).
Our launch events at Ottershaw and Weybridge were a great success, with much better than expected attendance, a first order and many strong enquiries. Unsurprisingly there was also strong interest in the outgoing model; driven by the spectacular CR-V Offers currently available.
Following the launch, we have now removed the launch page and published a page all about the new CR-V - which you can read below:
Honda BTCC driver Gordon 'Flash' Shedden was crowned BTCC Driver Champion for 2012 at a rain-soaked Brands hatch yesterday. It was the first championship for a Scottish driver for 17 years and is just reward for a great man who has worked tremendously hard to achieve his dream. Matt Neal, last year's champion and fellow Honda driver came 2nd to seal a dominate victory for Honda Racing in the team trophy.
Trident Honda is holding launch events for the new Honda CR-V 2013 on the following dates:
- Trident Honda Ottershaw: Monday 29 October 3pm to 8pm
- Trident Honda Weybridge: Saturday 27 October 3pm to 7pm

Honda says investment at its UK plant in Swindon has reached £267m amid plans to ramp up production. The money will support the introduction of its new Civic and CR-V car models and a new 1.6-litre diesel engine.
The site is expected to produce 183,000 cars this year, with output forecast to rise to 250,000 within three years. About 500 workers have been recruited this year in the firm's biggest single UK investment programme for a decade, raising the total workforce to 3,500.
Honda is celebrating after being named the most reliable used car brand in the annual What Car? and Warranty Direct reliability survey for an unprecedented seventh year in a row. According to the report, Honda cars are the least likely to leave passengers stranded at the roadside, with just a one in 10 chance of models suffering a breakdown in any given 12-month period - an enviable record.
Chas Hallet, What Car? Editor in Chief commented:
An excellent weekend of racing for the Honda Yuasa Racing Team saw both Matt and Flash claim victory in all three races. Great driving from the men behind the wheel saw Matt grab his two first place trophies in Race 1 and 3, and Flash claim his in Race 2. It was the team's best set of British Touring Car Championship results in 2012 and puts them in pole position in all three standings tables.
Up next is Croft on 24 June – remember to 'like' the official Honda BTCC Facebook page to keep up with all the action.
