Honda has announced that they are adding a number of new incentives to their Red Riders Rewards Program for 2016. These changes and improvements will allow for close to $7 million in savings to be available to Honda racers over the next year. This plan has been designed for Honda racers in all fields including supercross, motocross, off-road, road racing, dirt track, trails, and ATV. Throughout this next season, racers will have the opportunity to earn payouts through the program in over 1,300 different events. Honda has even made it easier for participants to collect their payouts through a PayPal payment process. Each participant simply has to link their PayPal account and the payment will be automatically processed once their results are posted to the XTRM Performance Network by a race promoter. "We're very excited that Honda's Red Riders Rewards program is even bigger and better for this year," said Mike Snyder, Senior Manager of Powersports Marketing at American Honda. "We have been working hard to improve our program to better serve privateer pros and amateurs, across all racing organizations. Starting with this weekend's AMA Supercross opener in Anaheim, racers can begin earning awards, and there are many, many other opportunities throughout the year, from Hangtown to Elkhart Lake. Also, the addition of PayPal means that redeeming awards is more convenient and quicker than ever." Additional Highlights For 2016: MotoAmerica: Continued $10K for Superbike wins, all classes paid down to 10th place both days. Arenacross: Increased payouts in all classes. Amateur Motocross: Increased payouts, as well as expanded trackside support at Loretta Lynn's and other select events. AMA Motocross: Increased payouts, paying per moto down to 40th place.

Recently, the 2016 Honda CR-V earned a 5-Star rating in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) New Car Assessment Program. The 5-Star rating is the highest rating that a car can receive, and on top of that, the 2016 CR-V was also given a TOP SAFETY PICK+ by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). "Consumers have made the CR-V America's best-selling SUV for good reason, and this top government safety rating just adds one more appealing and class-leading attribute," said Jeff Conrad, senior vice president and general manager of the Honda Division. "Honda is committed to offering vehicles that deliver advanced safety, fun-to-drive performance and connectivity, with top fuel economy ratings. CR-V is that kind of vehicle." The 2016 CR-V features some of the newest technology available. It uses Honda’s Advanced Compatibility Engineering body, a rearview camera, forward collision warnings and lane departure warnings, to keep passengers as safe as can be. It was also the first Honda vehicle to use Honda Sensing, a new feature that helps avoid accidents, and minimize damage if an accident occurs. With an even longer list of additional features, the 2016 CR-V rightfully earned its award.

Honda knows that the average family spends a large portion of their time in the car. Between pickups and dropoffs for school, sports, clubs, playdates, and family trips, your kids tend to spend several hours a week in transit. Therefore, Honda has decided that the time spent in the car could be used to help inspire kids to become more interested in reading and creativity. That’s why they have released the new Honda Road Readers app to help you provide a better selection of listening options for your travels. This new app will be available for Apple® and Android™ and it will include 10 rotating National Teacher of the Year featured books along with a number of audiobook categories that include fantasy/adventure, mystery, science fiction, and teens. This new app is especially relevant in today’s society where a recent study showed that the majority of parents feel that listening to stories is vital to their child’s cognitive development and developing listening skills. Additionally, in a world that is run by digital screens, it is important to have an entertainment option that does not require the child to be looking at one. "The goal for the Honda Road Readers program is to provide an educational and entertaining alternative to the usual car ride and inspire young listeners to vividly imagine," said Susie Rossick, Assistant Vice President, Honda/Acura Regional Media and Marketing at American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "This effort is a powerful demonstration of our commitment to the brand's 'Power of Dreams' philosophy by encouraging our customers and their families to dream big together."
