Just the other month, we here at Castle Honda were telling you folks about the Honda Smart Home that our favorite automaker was cooking up with the help of University of California, Davis. Needless to say, it was quite the space age development and we're crossing our fingers that they'll find a way to integrate that same green tech into our new and used cars. But until that day comes, we'll just continue to marvel at their futuristic wonders.

Even if you don't spend your days at a new and used car dealership like us here at Castle Honda, it doesn't take much to realize which of these beauties are the most popular ones on our lineup. Because as long as you're paying attention to the cars around you, chances are you've noticed quite a few 2013 Honda Civic models in the greater Chicago area.

If there's anything we've learned from our favorite automaker these last couple months, it's that they sure have a thing for putting families first. If you asked us, it only makes sense given how many families come to our dealership here at Castle Honda looking to purchase a new and used car. But what about when those families head home in their brand new 2013 Honda Fit EV, how can Honda help them then? Well in an effort to keep the savings going strong, Honda is turning to the…

As the award-winning models at our dealership will show you, our favorite automaker has the people in mind when it comes to their brand. Whether it's the industry-leading safety standards of our new and used cars or the philanthropic efforts of the Honda execs, it goes without saying that we have a whole lot to be proud of here at Castle Honda. And now in the wake of Superstorm  Sandy, the pride just continues to go.

It goes without saying, but living and working near Chicago has its perks. It's the most happening town in Illinois, it's got five different professional sports teams for us to root for, and what's not to love about Primanti Bros., right? We here at Castle Honda have nothing but love for the place, but living down the road from the Windy City also has its downsides. Namely, our hair.

Folks, we can't stand a broken record any more than the next guy, and given all the award-winning Honda news we've been sending your way for the past two months now, the irony of the situation is not lost on us here at Castle Honda. Then again, can you really blame us? With all the good vibes coming our way thanks to the new and used cars at our dealership, the pride is overflowing.

Since writing about all the awards that our favorite automaker keeps picking up seems to be a recurring theme around these parts, we here at Castle Honda figured we'd keep this gravy train rolling and give you folks one more reason to love the new and used cars at our dealership. Up until now, we've had a lot to report on in terms of value and innovation, and as important as those are for anyone looking to invest in some new wheels, the fact of the matter is that you can't put a price on safety.

When we here at Castle Honda tell you that you won't find a better deal on a new or used car than the ones here in our showroom, we're not yanking your chain. Then again, we are in the business of selling cars, and we can understand why some might say they've heard it all before. So with that being said, don't take our word for it. Take it from the folks over at Kiplinger's Personal Finance and U.S. News.

Just the other week, we here at Castle Honda told you all about the great news about our 2013 Honda CR-V and 2013 Honda Accord models winning Best Value Awards from Kiplinger's Personal Finance. And now with the recent news from the folks over Good Houskeeping, the praise just keeps on coming for our new and used cars.

Not going to lie, folks, 2012 was awfully kind to some of our new cars here at Castle Honda. It seems like just the other day when we heard that Motor Trend nominated the 2013 Honda Accord as one of their North American Cars of the Year, not to mention the two Top Safety Pick+ awards it earned from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. But why stop there, right?
