Iconic Models from Honda
Honda has spent a lot of time pushing the boundaries of the automotive industry, and the results are pretty clear. Over the years, the automaker has created vehicles that not only performed well, but that also changed the industry at large. These iconic models became ingrained in the history of the car community when they were first introduced and continue to spark interest years later.The team here at Heritage Honda Bel Air, Parkville & Westminster has put together some of our favorite Honda vehicles throughout the years to celebrate how far the brand has come.
Civic
Easily one of the most recognizable vehicles made by the automaker, the Honda Civic has maintained the same image throughout the years: efficient, reliable, modern. This commuter car is versatile, with hatchback, coupe, and sedan options, as well as sporty trims like the SI and Type-R. It isn’t uncommon to see a Civic from the 90s rolling around, since Honda always outfitted the Civic with engines that last. The Civic is also popular in the tuner community because of that reliability, as well as its simple but effective design. Spirited handling and great cornering have been key traits of the Civic since the first model, which is seen even more so today.
S2000
Though the S2000 is no longer produced, it remains one of the most iconic vehicles ever made by the carmaker. This rear wheel drive platform offered drivers a balanced weight distribution, which made it handle curves like no other. The powerful four-cylinder engine proved to be a testing ground for the future of Honda’s VTEC® technology. This 2-liter four-cylinder engine produced an impressive 237 horsepower and 163 pound-feet of torque, without the help of forced induction. The Honda S2000 was built for spirited driving and paved the way for Honda to create an entire lineup of vehicles that are fun to drive.
CR-V
The Honda CR-V was the automakers first SUV, but it hasn’t stopped evolving since it was first introduced in the mid-90s. Since then, the CR-V has become a leader of the segment. Thanks to its turbocharged four-cylinder engine the 2019 CR-V produces enough power to zip through traffic, while maintaining the economical fuel consumption Honda is famous for. The convenient space makes the CR-V perfect for families. With a litany of standard and available features, this SUV can be perfectly tailored to your needs.
