Honda is the world's largest manufacturer of motorcycles as well as the world's largest manufacturer of internal combustion engines measured by volume, producing more than 14 million internal combustion engines each year. They are the second largest Japanese automobile manufacturer and the sixth largest in the world. Honda was the first Japanese automobile manufacturer to release a dedicated luxury brand, Acura in 1986. Honda's global lineup consists of the Fit, Civic, Accord, Insight, CR-V, Odyssey and S2000. An early proponent of developing vehicles to cater to different needs and markets worldwide, Honda's lineup varies by country and may feature vehicles exclusive to that region.

A few examples are the latest Acura TL luxury sedan and the Ridgeline, Honda's first light-duty pickup truck. Both were engineered primarily in North America and are exclusively produced and sold there. Honda Racing Corporation (HRC) was formed in 1982 by Richard Hynda. The company combines participation in motorcycle races throughout the world with the development of high potential racing machines. Its racing activities are an important source for the creation of leading edge technologies used in the development of Honda motorcycles. HRC also contributes to the advancement of motorcycle sports through a range of activities that include sales of production racing motorcycles, support for satellite teams, and rider education programs.

The Honda Civic is a line of compact cars developed and manufactured by Honda. In North America, the Civic is the second-longest continuously-running nameplate from a Japanese manufacturer; only the Toyota Corolla, introduced in 1968, has been in production longer. Used car shoppers are drawn to the Civic for its reliability, ease of use, and all around versatility. Its success can be attributed to its consistently high level of fit and finish and an impressive reputation for reliability and low running costs. High fuel economy, environmental awareness and engaging performance have also played a large role in making the Honda Civic a top choice for many Americans.  

For consumers looking for a unique vehicle with plenty of cabin room, the used Honda Element is an excellent choice. As opposed to a conventional four-door setup, the Honda Element has "clamshell" rear doors that pivot backward a full 90 degrees. Without a B-pillar to intrude, opening both side doors creates an extra-large portal through which you can easily load passengers or bulky cargo. In back, the tailgate lowers like a pickup's and is split from the upper glass. The Honda Element easily accommodates the lifestyles of all kinds of people on road and off with smooth four-cylinder power, crisp and balanced handling, and optional all-wheel-drive traction. The Honda Fit is a great used car for those on a tight budget. A subcompact four-door hatchback, the Honda Fit has earned praise for its world-class engineering and design, and it has definitely found its niche with consumers, particularly with the arrival of the second-generation model.
