While many automakers have been churning out hybrids in rapid fire over the past few years, Honda has remained in the shadows of the green technology forum. But that doesn't mean the automaker will stay there forever. In fact, Honda has been quietly working on a whole slew of new highly efficient vehicle platforms. And when the Big H does choose to reveal these technologies to the public, Honda of Concord has a feeling many a jaw will drop in awe.

Normally, it's easiest to measure an automaker's success by looking at sales numbers. For example, our favorite automaker sold over 25,000 units of the popular 2012 Honda Civic in April alone. Therefore, Honda of Concord can infer that Honda is doing quite well in the area of subcompacts. However, we'd argue that sales stats aren't the only numbers that prove Honda is well-liked.

Planning on financing a new Honda vehicle in 2013? If so, you're in luck. Honda is about to make some serious changes in the realm of safety and the coming model year's lineup will be the first to feel the effects.

Honda believes that in the fight to reduce our environmental impact, a comprehensive approach is the only way to go. That's why the automaker's "2011 North American Environmental Report" goes beyond just covering Honda hybrid models...way, way, way beyond to be exact. To give you a general idea of just how green our favorite automaker truly is, Honda of Concord will highlight some of the main areas in which Honda set up eco-friendly initiatives and the goals they achieved in 2011.

Sometimes consumers equate "value" with "cheap." Honda of Concord would like to clear up this confusion and inform those in the Charlotte area that these two are not the same. Take for example the Honda Fit. While the stellar subcompact may not be the least expensive vehicle in its segment, it certainly has the most value. This means that you might pay a higher price at first but thanks to the model's durability and excellent construction, the Fit will end up costing you less over the long run. And that, we'd argue, is much better than the alternative.

What do you get when you blend a Honda Civic with a Honda CR-V? At this point in time Honda of Concord is still trying to figure out the answer. We do know, however, that Honda has put plans in place to create such a model merger for its consumers in Europe.
