Back-to-School season is upon us, and what better way to start the school year than with a brand new Honda? We might be little bit biased, but we’ve got KBB to back us up! Kelley Blue Book’s annual 10 Best Back-to-School Cars list has been released, and it features not one, not two, but THREE Honda vehicles! The list, which evaluates models to determine which has the best balance of fun, safety, and affordability for families and students. As any parent of a teenager already knows, it’s hard to agree on what is considered a “good” vehicle. Parents tend to focus on safety, while teenagers are more focused on fun and style. Luckily for them, you don’t have to choose when you drive a Honda! The 2016 Honda HR-V clinched the fourth spot on the list, with the 2016 Honda Civic closely ahead at spot number three, and the 2016 Honda Fit claiming the top spot at number one! All three Honda winners are stylish, fun, and safe, with safety features like Tire Pressure Monitoring System, Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) Body Structure, LATCH System, Multi-Angle Rearview Camera, Vehicle Stability Assist™ with Traction Control, Hill Start Assist, and Anti-Lock Braking System! Stop by D’ELLA Honda of Glens Falls to test drive these three back-to-school vehicles or any other Honda vehicles on our lot! "10 Best Back-to-School Cars 2016 - Kelley Blue Book." Kbb.com.

Soccer moms, beware - the Honda Odyssey is back at it again with the cool van! This time, it’s with some help from Bisimoto, the engineers that helped tune this minivan to produce a whopping 1,029 horsepower. Yes, you read that correctly! That’s more horsepower than a Ferrari F12. This Bisimoto version recently headed to Monterey Car Week to be auctioned at Mecum’s Monterey Auction. There’s no word on what the final bidding price was, but we bet it was a lot! We don’t have it available here at D’ELLA Honda of Glens Falls, but with a V6 Engine, 248 horsepower, and 250 lb-ft of torque on the 2016 Honda Odyssey, we think you’ll be plenty impressed with our version (and our price!).

While the 2017 Honda Ridgeline is still pretty new to the truck market, it is quickly converting people who otherwise identify as “not really truck people.” One of these people is Peter Valdes-Dapena, the automotive writer at CNN. Dapena admitted that while he never pictured himself owning a truck, the 2017 Honda Ridgeline has changed his mind. The major different between the Ridgeline and its competitors is that the Ridgeline has the capability and utility of a truck, with the comfort, style, and convenience of a car or SUV. Its performance is smooth and responsive, while other trucks often wobble and shake on the road. It also offers unique storage options, like the lockable watertight trunk which is built into the truckbed, so you can secure your belongs and keep them protected. Dapena concludes, “The Ridgeline is a completely different, better-equipped and a more flexible, livable vehicle than a base-level . For people who might not ordinarily considering buying a truck, I think I have found your truck.” Check out the video above and then schedule a test drive at D’ELLA Honda of Glens Falls!
