"With the auto show season just around the corner, we are gearing up for the upcoming reveal of several exciting and very important models for the Honda and Acura brands. This begins in less than a month at the Los Angeles Auto Show with the debut of the all-new 2016 Honda HR-V crossover and the substantially redesigned 2016 Acura ILX sports sedan.

The new gateway to our Honda light truck lineup the all-new super-stylish HR-V crossover will be shown for the first time on Nov. 19. Built on the same platform as the hot-selling Fit, the HR-V will utilize Hondas great packaging expertise to create new value in the growing entry crossover segment.

Meanwhile, the Nov. 20 debut of the new 2016 ILX sport sedan will bring a sharper performance focus to our gateway model, while delivering a greater set of high-value comfort, convenience and safety features that consumers desire in the increasingly competitive entry-luxury field.

With LA as just the first of the major auto shows, weve got even more excitement in store for the days ahead. We look forward to seeing you at the shows."
