2012 CRV

 
The 2012 Honda CRV is here and it is BOLD!  This is the 4th Generation CRV and it is truly a must see.  Its sleek new look is bound to get noticed with the redesigned grille and front bumper along with the 17 inch alloy wheels (EX and EX-L models). These design changes make the CR-V stand out in 2012 more than it ever did before. The exterior is eye catching as much as the interior is sophisticated; the complete package in a compact SUV.

The interior is lavish with some of the most advanced features in the auto industry including the Econ Button !  This environmentally friendly feature can be turned on at any time and it will help increase your MPG by reducing the engine use (and other energy sources) when the vehicle is coasting. Eco Assist will also help the driver understand when they have been driving at the vehicle’s maximum gas saving potential and when they have been driving less efficiently. The CR-V has optimal gas mileage of 23 city/31 highway mpg, outstanding for a compact SUV.

Other interior updates include the rear-view camera, Pandora Radio, Blue-tooth, voice text messaging, and USB audio interface. The steering wheel is fully equipped to control the Multi-Information Display (i-MID) located in the middle of the dashboard. The i-MID has a custom background imag (option) that you can load from your USB, while displaying either music you are playing, SMS Texts, your current MPG and your turn by turn directions as you drive. The steering wheel can control the radio, phone calls, and your navigation system making it easier and much safer to multitask while you drive! Not only does the new CR-V feature state of the art technolgical advancements like the satellite linked navigation system with voice recognition. It also has an improved cargo area with 60/40 rear seat fold back.

The seats have multiple configurations, so the space can be customized for moving, shopping, packing, and so much more. The most common feedback from moms who are on the go is that the new CR-V has the easiest seats to fold down! You do not have to remove the head rest, you do not have to push the seat down, lift the seat back (while you strain your back), or even put your purse down to fold these seats. The women simply love this easy to use feature. Just pull one lever in the rear cargo area and the seat folds into itself. Another note that the CRV’s women drivers  commonly made was the fact that the center console in the front of the vehicle is large enough for their purse! So they wouldn’t have to hand it to their husband while they drive, or put it behind the seat. Enough space for a purse sounds like no big deal but these small details make a world of difference.

Consumer Reports states that the CR-V is far above average in its safety ratings. No matter what road you’re on in the city, country, mountains, snow, or beaches; safety should always be a top priority in any vehicle you drive. Rating well for crash tests and beyond well for highway safety, this model is at the top in it’s class. Safely drive a vehicle that offers gas saving abilities, technological advancements, and POWER.

All three models, LX, EX, and EX-L have 2.4L - 4 cylinder engines with 16-Valve DOHC i-VTEC^® . Each model can be equipped with AWD or 2WD. The power of the 4 cylinder engine shouldn’t be underestimated, this engine has been perfected through years of engineering and it complimets Honda’s light weight CR-V ideally.    

It’s hard to ignore this vehicle’s pizzazz, its comfortable straight forward interior design with easy to use features exactly where they should be. The newly designed exterior catches attention everywhere it goes . The CR-V defines more than just a car, it represents the modern era of practicality, utility, technology, and aesthetic design.

With Honda- it doesn't have to be a Hyrbid to get exceptional gas mileage.

Hybrids have stole the show for iconic gas mileage. Rightfully so, the Honda CR-Z, Civic Hybrid, and Insight Hybrid have all shown huge savings at the pump.  Many industry experts are looking at the Overall Cost of ownership over specific periods of time, and thats where the Honda Hybrids have stolen the show! I read a report from Honda - Sales Insight.  It reviewed the cost of ownership- and the significant saving with Honda Hybrid Cars.

Since some costs vary by region, the follwing is based out of Santa Monica, CA, and assumes 15000 miles per year, go to Edmunds.com for your regionalized cost of ownership. Keep in mind that depriaction, taxes and fees, fuel, maintenance, repairs, financing, Insurance, and any tax credits (if available).  There is also an emissions advantage that will also save our ozone a bit more.

Hybrids offer a fresh approach to our current energy crisis, but if the technology or costs are unattractive to you. The Honda Line Up is full of “Over 30″ MPG vehicles. There are also a few that are very close to 30 MPGs!  Here is a list of current new Hondas in Atlanta that offer fantastic highway mileage.

This year was different, we really wanted to help out the families that have been struggling, we wanted to help make that Thanksgiving Day warmer, and that Christmas Morning more exciting. Bill Hughes the General Manager of the Carland Group wanted to have a customer appreciation night, and raffle off some prizes to help gain attendance. We all instantly wanted to make Hearing’s Food and Toy drive a part of this , so Mr Hughes decided to advertise to our customers to bring in canned food items in November and Toy Items in December. We would issue a raffle ticket for each food or toy item. Bill Hughes, Scott Henley, Kyle Campbell, and Keith Campbell agreed to provide 32′ Flat Screens for each event (6) on top of catering and other costs. We call some of our  vendors like Cars.com, Autotrader, and Aspen Marketing, and they all donated prizes to help make these event enticing to our customers.

It was a complete success. Honda Carland, Honda Carland North, and Acura Carland brought over 3,000 canned good items for the food drive. Mike Hearing personally donated over 30 turkeys again! These events were never about the raffle- it was about the food drive, and  the Carland Group was able to create a frenzy of giving! We had customers donating cases upon cases of  food. Several customers made cash donations, and others returned several days later with more food. They all got it- it was about making a difference in someone else’s life! The customers are the ones that made the true difference, by coming out on a weekday night, and particpating in an event that helped others that they did not even know! Thank you, and we truly appreciate the opportunity of meeting and talking with each of you!

So, we have 3 more events scheduled – these will all conincide with the 9th Annual Carland Toy Drive! Same premise, bring in unwrapped toys, and we will issue you one ticket for each toy! The Carland Group will sponsor prizes ranging up to a 32″ Flat Screen TV, catering, and other service promotions.  It is important for as many people to come and partipate! Please tell one and tell all! The kids will appreciate it . Have a wonderful Holiday Season, and please try to attend one of the following events!
