Honda previews upcoming CR-Z by going on a road tour
At last, Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI) is really to bring the CR-Z here. Deliveries, however, are not expected to arrive until August. So what they're doing to help pre-sell their new two-door hybrid sports coupe is to take it on a road tour. The CR-Z will make a total of nine stops across Honda dealerships in Metro Manila. But do care to note that they'll display the CR-Z Mugen Concept previewed at the Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS) last year, not the latest 2013-spec CR-Z that's on sale.
Available in six variants, HCPI began pre-selling the CR-Z last April 26, 2013 on a “first come, first serve” delivery basis. That means, if you put in your reservation on the 1st week of May, you're assured to be one of the first few to get a brand-new CR-Z by August.
The Honda CR-Z Mugen Concept will make these nine stops in Metro Manila:

HCPI now accepting reservations for the CR-Z; Prices start at P1.4-million
Words by Christopher Kho
I still remember it quite clearly when Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI) told us last year that they'll only make the CR-Z hybrid sports coupe available locally if, and only if, Senate Bill No. 2856 is passed into law. Although the Senate has already given the “Electric, Hybrid, and Other Alternative Fuel Vehicles Incentives Act of 2011” the green light, a certain Mr. Aquino has yet to sign it. So instead of waiting for legislation's snail's pace, HCPI jumped the gun and announced that they're now accepting reservations for the CR-Z.

Honda upgrades all City variants for 2013; Now packed with even more features
Words and photos by Christopher Kho
It's been only a year since the Honda City got a well-deserved facelift, but Honda Cars Philippines Inc. (HCPI) thought that it was necessary to make their best-selling model even better. And what they did this time is to stuff it with all the goodies and features one could wish for, raising the standard for subcompacts one step higher. Plus, some added few safety features now earn the City a full 5-star ASEAN NCAP crash safety rating.
The biggest change to the line-up is that there's no longer a 1.5 E variant. Instead, they've added two new versions they call 1.5 EL and 1.5 ENC. The 1.5 EL is pretty much identical in spec with the previous 1.5 E, except for one difference: black leather seats. The 1.5 ENC, on the other hand, gets the most revision of all.

HCPI issues Safety Recall for 2001 - 2002 Civic and CR-V
Well this is unfortunate. After Mitsubishi issued a recall for the all-new Mirage last Friday, this time, it's Honda's turn to send out a recall of their own. Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI) just annouced a voluntary safety recall of 2001 to 2002 Civics (7th generation) and 2002 CR-Vs (2nd generation) because of a faulty front passenger airbag. This campaign affects 9,743 units locally and over 1.1 million vehicles worldwide.

Honda now offers detachable 3rd Row Seat for the CR-V
Words by Christopher Kho
Ever since its 3rd generation model, the CR-V has been strictly a 5-seat crossover. They've tossed out the 3rd row seating found in the first two models in favor of more luggage space. But Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI) was reminded that there are some families out there with extra members that want to go along for the ride too. So, starting this April 2013, the Japan-made 2.0 LX and 2.4 EX variants will now come with a Detachable 3rd Row Seat accessory at no extra cost.
Honda claims that the new 3rd row seat is lightweight, making it easy to attach or detach depending on the load requirement. It can even fold flat in case you're too lazy to take it out.
