The Honda brand is practically synonymous with world-renowned Japanese excellence and integrity. The company that built the multi-billion dollar robot ASIMO also translates its cutting edge technology to the Honda car that you purchase. It is thus that the discerning car owner takes pride in owning a Honda. Though it may a bit pricey compared to its counterpart models in Toyota, Honda cars lend an air of exclusivity as it is company policy not to sell their cars for public transportation.
