| Honda auto dealers sell some of the top selling cars on the roads worldwide. Honda Motor Company was founded in Tokyo, Japan by Soichiro Honda. Honda had originally built a factory to manufacture pistons he was to sell to the Toyota car company. The factory was destroyed during World War II, as was much of Japan. Seeing the need for cheap, low fuel transportation, Honda began fixing small motors to bicycles which he sold to the public. The sales of his scooters and motorcycles recouped all of Honda’s losses from the war. In 1963, Honda produced the first Honda road car, a small pickup truck called the T360. This was quickly followed up with the S500, the first production automobile for Honda. Despite the Japanese government encouraging larger car makers to absorb small companies, Honda made history as an independent automobile manufacturer that was able to mass produce automobiles for the public.
On the lots of Honda car dealerships, customers will find the 2007 Fit which recently won the Car and Driver’s 10 Best. Other cars are the Accord, which is one of the top selling family sedans, and the Civic which serves as a smaller sedan that used to be offered in a hatchback body style. Honda car dealers also offers three sports utility vehicles, the Pilot, the CR-V, and the boxy looking Element. Rounding out their fleet is the Odyssey mini van, the Ridgeline truck, and the S2000 sports sedan.
Honda dealers have always been able to use fuel economy as a selling point as their automobiles are well known for their fuel savings. However, with the growing popularity of hybrid vehicles, Honda dealers now offer a hybrid in both the Civic and the Accord model vehicles. In addition to Honda brand vehicles, the Honda Motor Company also owns the Acura line of automobiles. Often times, Acura dealerships are in close proximity to the Honda dealerships.
Honda auto dealers are common throughout the United States. Being one of the most popular cars sold, dealerships are found in most cities and suburban areas of the country. The Honda automobile website includes a "Locate a Dealer" search tool where the customer can enter his or her zip code. The search engine provides the names and contact information of all local and regional dealers for the prospective customer. Additionally, the site provides a map of the dealership’s surrounding area, and the other services offered at that site. Customers can also request a quote from the individual dealerships or visit the individual dealer’s website. Honda dealerships are also worldwide. Being a Japanese based company, they have a strong presence in the Asian market as well as Europe, South America, and Africa.
Used car Honda dealers are also quite common due to the overall popularity of the car. In addition to being touted as fuel efficient by Honda dealers, many used Honda dealers point out the fact that the Honda engine has an extremely long life span when serviced properly making the used Honda vehicles a preferred automobile for people on a budget.
