But careful, it’s still piping hot – that is to say the new 2022 Civic models are arriving at Honda dealers near you all summer long. Grab your fork and swing by our Honda dealership near Springfield for a…

All-new last year, the Honda CR-V and its Hybrid model return, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, to continue their trend as the most popular SUV in Missouri. CR-V’s popularity is not surprising, either, as Honda’s compact SUV has long been recognized as one of the best, if not the best, crossovers in its class.
