A year ago, Kelley Blue Book stated that the Accord, “isn’t just the finest midsize sedan money can buy, it’s the most sophisticated, most advanced and most impressive automobile not wearing a luxury badge,” and they stand by that statement to this day as it was awarded the best midsize car. Next up is the best compact SUV, the Honda CR-V, which won the award for being considered, “safe, practical, easy-to-drive and easy-to-own.”
Honda Stands Out Against the Competition
If you’re looking for a midsize SUV, look no further than the Honda Pilot at Barker Honda, as Kelley Blue Book declared, “you’ll enjoy the comfortable ride – one of the many reasons this is a terrific road-trip car — and the family-friendly attention to detail throughout.” The Honda Odyssey won best minivan by containing all your favorite features: a solid chassis, seats for eight, a pair of sliding doors, a spacious cargo area and cupholders galore, as well as top-notch safety features.

Highlighting one of its many new and innovative family-friendly features, Popular Science recently recognized the 2018 Honda Odyssey’s CabinWatch™ feature with its “2017 Best of What’s New” award. CabinWatch™ uses a ceiling-mounted camera to give south Louisiana parents a birds-eye view of children when they’re located in the second-row and third-row seats, including those in rear-facing child seats, with the image displayed on the front-mounted 8-inch Display Audio touchscreen. Thanks to infrared capability, this innovative system works both day and night, allowing parents to monitor a sleeping child without ever having to turn on a light. And with the simple smartphone-like gestures of Odyssey’s CabinWatch™ feature, parents can now easily zoom in and out or pan when they’re wanting a better view.
