For those who live in densely populated urban areas, or a college town where owning a car might not the best thing, there's Zipcar.

Zipcar offers a diverse amount of vehicles to its 673,000 members nationwide, and those members will be seeing many more new Honda vehicles available for use, as Zipcar named Honda one of its preferred vehicle manufacturers.

The record-setting Mega Millions jackpot that reached $656 million earlier this April had people around the country rushing to the closest convenience store to buy a ticket with the hopes of hitting it big. We're sure many in the greater Tracy area did. While there were three winning tickets in Kansas, Illinois, and Maryland, not much of the media hoopla covered the chunk of people across the nation who were able to match the first five winning numbers.

Here in California, drivers love the Honda Fit because of its budget-friendly MSRP ($15,175), environmentally-conscious 27-mpg city/33-mpg highway,* superior driving performance, and flexible design that makes it the perfect car for city streets or weekend road trips. But, over in Australia, they're loving the Fit, too.

The difference is that they call it the Honda Jazz, and they're also enjoying the rally version - the Honda G2 Jazz. But, we should be...

As the only major automaker selling CNG-powered (compressed natural gas) passenger vehicles to American drivers, Honda is out to make sure that drivers have easy access to the clean-burning fuel that powers the Honda CivicCNG. It would likely be pretty difficult to convince gas stations to install CNG fueling stations around the country, but Honda is thinking it only makes sense to put CNG pumps in the very same place where you can buy...

Honda delivered the very first Fit EV not so long ago, to the municipality of Torrance, California. Don't worry, it's coming to Tracy Honda shortly, but not before Honda runs extensive tests on it to better understand the real-world implications of the EV lifestyle. But Torrance won't be the only group providing feedback to Honda - both Google and Stanford University have stepped up to tes the EV, as well.

Imagine your childhood without sports. That's right - go ahead, try to picture what your life would've been like without cleats, hockey sticks, and shin guards. How about sliding into home base to win the game? What about all of those lessons on teamwork and exercise and having fun you learned out on the field? Kind of hard to imagine, isn't it? Well, believe it or not, there are communities out there that...

Like many automakers with facilities in Japan and Thailand, Honda faced monumental challenges in 2011. Starting with the earthquake and tsunami in Japan early in the year and followed by record flooding in Thailand, many companies were forced to shutter the doors of their factories while simultaneously cleaning up the damage from these natural disasters. Here in America, many dealerships, including Tracy Honda faced inventory shortages as a direct result of these natural disasters. Of...

After college, many younger buyers start scouring the market for a car that's not just top-notch in performance, but is chock-full of technology and style. After all, those are the things that have define the millennials, and there's certainly no reason to drive a car that isn't tailor-made...

The Detroit auto show is quickly approaching and Tracy Honda can hardly wait to see what Honda has in store this year. That is to say, we know that Honda will be arriving in Detroit with the 2013 Accord Coupe Concept, we just can't wait to see it.

The Accord has a long history of being a favorite in the Honda lineup. In fact, this year will mark its 30th year of American production...

Japanese car enthusiasts were the first to get a look at the all-new 2012 Honda CR-V at the Tokyo Motor Show, before it hit their market earlier this month. It's not the same as the concept that debuted at the LA Auto Show in November, but we expect it will be the version that will go on sale overseas in Japan as well as in Europe.

Shoppers in Japan and Europe can expect mostly...
