“We only have one future, and it will be made of our dreams.”– Soichiro HondaA dream is a view of the worldnot as it is, but as it could be. For over 60 years, Honda has encouraged itsassociates to aim beyond what is currently possible. All for the purpose of progressinghuman mobility. This spirithas resulted in advances in environmental technology, like the hydrogen fuel cell FCXClarity, that brings uscloser to a future filled with blue skies. It guides us as we strive to exceed government safety regulations and has led toindustry-changing innovations on the ground, in the water, and, with the HondaJet, in the air. And it pushes us to use premier race circuits as testing groundswhere they come from. Because you neverAccord EX-L V-6 Sedan shown in Crystal Black Pearl.for our ideas.
