Today we have big news regarding a popular small car from our preferred Japanese automaker. The delightfully pint-sized Honda Civic is proving that it can deliver huge results when it comes to keeping drivers and passengers safe on the road.

Ladies and gentlemen, spring has finally sprung! As the warmer weather falls upon greater Illinois and blue skies beckon drivers to hit the open road, it's time to get your car ready for summer road trips. Of course, that typically involves some interior cleaning and we know most people aren't fond of that. Just thinking of lugging the household vacuum cleaner outside immediately makes us tired. Fortunately, Honda is offering a solution to that particular problem.

At The Honda Superstore of Joliet, we know that a daily work commute can become daunting. With an average across the United States that's 25-minutes, and that's only one-way, occasionally it's difficult to keep the thrill behind the wheel. Fortunately, we're strong advocates of being comfortable and always enjoying your surroundings; we've got you covered.

Quick what's the first word that comes to mind when you think of Honda? If you said reliable, you certainly aren't alone. Legendary for engineering trusted models, the Big H recently found itself under a rosy spotlight.

Over the years Honda has seen impressive global expansion. The increase in demand of their versatile models has allowed them to open up new plants worldwide. Now they've announced that they plan to consolidate their domestic production, introducing a new facility in their homeland.

It's obvious that in the great state of Illinois, Honda models are prominent. Reigning the roads in areas like Chicago and Aurora, their swift performance, exhilarating speed and innovative safety features certainly play a part in establishing the Big H's popularity.

Here at the Honda Superstore of Joliet, we pride ourselves in bringing fuel-efficient, reliable and safe new Honda vehicles to drivers in Aurora, Orland Park and Chicago. Many of our popular models come in hybrid variations now, but we would like to dedicate a blog post and tell all our fans about our 2013 Honda Insight.

Once the calendar year ends, automakers and independent firms can compile data and determine which brands have the most loyal customers. Here at the Honda Superstore of Joliet, we are very proud to be able to tell our drivers and fans that we have some of the most loyal customers in the industry. Polk is an independent firm that looks at lease agreements, customer transactions, and state registrations to measure owner retention and loyalty. Honda earned several Polk Automotive Loyalty Awards and we cannot wait to tell our fans in the greater Chicago area all about them.

January sure is a busy month for the automotive industry. For those of you who keep up with our Honda blog, you probably have already heard about the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. However, here at the Honda Superstore of Joliet, we are excited for the 2013 Tokyo Auto Salon.

As the North American International Auto Show in Detroit approaches, everyone here at the Honda Superstore of Joliet is eagerly crossing the days off of their calendars. Car enthusiasts and fans always look forward to this time of the year, as automakers gear up to debut new vehicles and developments. We are no different but we are excited for a different reason all together. We cannot wait for the North American Car of the Year awards, which are going to be determined in Detroit.
