2013 Honda Crosstour: Interior Photos, Specs, and Features

Honda Revives the Crosstour

2013 Honda Civic Revealed


2013 Honda Civic
The 2013 Honda Civic has finally been revealed! However, these are only two exterior shots of the car. Nevertheless, the styling is a HUGE improvement over the 2012 Civic, which was criticized for its boring exterior and cheap interior. The trim level shown is an EX-L (you can tell because of the leather seen through the windows). Fog lights will be standard on the higher trims (which will most likely be EX and EX-L), along with many other interior and exterior upgrades. Full information for this car comes out on 29 November 2012.

2013 Honda Accord at Royal Honda in Metairie

Royal Honda of Metairie is pleased to announce the arrival of the greatly anticipated 2013 Honda Accord.  It looks great and has some of the most advanced technology in the North American Hemisphere.


Scott Usher, sales at Royal Honda, says,  "They really raised the bar again.  It's really more bang for the buck.  The car has more tech and safety for a very moderate difference in price from the previous Accord.  My favorite is the Blind Spot Camera!"



You can view a Brochure explaining the Details of each Trim Level Here.  What really struck many is the long list of standard equipment on the entry level Accord LX.  This includes Backup Camera, Bluetooth, Pandora Streaming Audio, and 16 inch Alloy Wheels (that's right, no more hubcaps for the Accord!).

Many Accords include the following new technology:

Forward Collision Warning
A small camera mounted at the top of the front windshield or, in the case of the Touring model, a radar system mounted in the front grille can detect the presence of vehicles in front of you. When the FCW system calculates that you are at risk of a collision, it immediately activates visual and/or audible alerts.



Lane Departure Warning
A small camera mounted at the top of the front windshield tracks lane markings on the road, and it can detect when the driver is making an un-indicated lane departure. Visual alerts will light up on the driver�s instrument panel and the system also can provide an audible warning.


These are just a few of the Technology Features packed into the new 2013 Accord.  Please let us know if you would like to trade in your old, very low tech, dented car for a New Accord today!  Take a look at our Inventory Here.

And now for a Commercial!
