It's simple, get a hole-in-one win a Honda S2000


On Thursday September 11th 2008 our very own 2008 Honda S2000 roadster spend the day at the 15th annual Golf Classic Charity next to the tee box on the 15th hole at Drugans Country Club in Holmen, WI. Honda Motorwerks brought the vehicle to offer it as a prize to anyone who could make a hole-in-one on the 182 yard par 3 hole.

Golfers started the day with a shotgun start at 11:00am, followed by a cocktail reception at 4:30pm with supper and silent auction at 6:30pm. All said and done they had a very good turn out and were able to make contributions to some local charities including the Boys and Girls Club of La Crosse, Freedom Honor Flight, HorseSence for Special Riders Inc, YWCA CASA for Kids, La Crosse Area Family YMCA and Area Schools.

Honda Motorwerks was very proud to be included in the event and still have the S2000!

Special thanks to the sponsors of the event; Midwest Fuels, Hartland Fuels, Milestone Materials, TexPar Energy, Bob Johnson Lubricants and Mathy Construction.

The Honda Insight Returns


Hybrid Within Your Reach
Scan the headlines and it’s obvious the world needs a new hybrid solution, and fast. What the world deserves is a little fun along the way.

The Revelation

This October at the Paris Auto Show, Honda will reveal a concept version of our new small hybrid vehicle— with spirited performance and all the amenities you’d expect. This new car will be priced significantly lower than hybrids available today, making it possible for more people to drive hybrids.

The Name
What do you call such a car? Honda delivered the first mass-production hybrid model to the U.S. and Europe back in 1999, the Honda Insight. Perfect name, right? Now used for our newest hybrid, the name honors our historical commitment to environmentally responsible technology. Takeo Fukui, Honda Motor Co., Ltd. CEO put it best:"The original Honda Insight pioneered hybrid technology in the U.S. and remains a symbol of Honda's commitment to innovative technology and fuel efficiency. This new Insight will break new ground as an affordable hybrid within the reach of customers who want great fuel economy and great value."

The Insight
The Insight sports a unique style and sophisticated design, sharing styling cues with the groundbreaking FCX Clarity fuel cell vehicle. The Insight concept, a futuristic five-door hatchback, is powered by a new lighter weight and efficient Integrated Motor Assist IMA® system that offers great performance. And there’s no shortage of amenities to liven up your commute.

The Timing
When can you get your hands on your very own Insight? Luckily you won't have to wait long. It goes on sale in the U.S. during the spring of 2009. In the meantime, check back here for photos, news and live updates direct from the Paris Auto Show October 4-19, 2008.

Bring on the Hybrids
Following the launch of the new Insight, Honda also plans to introduce another unique sporty hybrid vehicle based on the CR-Z Concept, first shown at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show. CR-Z is Honda's new hybrid sports car, and the name stands for "Compact Renaissance Zero." Two new hybrids from Honda. The news can't get much better than that.
