Four American Honda Vehicles Named Consumers Digest Best Buys for 1999; Magazine Recognizes All-New Honda Odyssey as 'Leader Among Minivans'TORRANCE, Calif., Dec. 18 -- The newly designed 1999 Honda Odyssey minivan and the all-new Acura 3.2TL are among four American Honda vehicles named Best Buys by Consumers Digest magazine. Two of America's favorite cars, the Honda Accord -- the top choice of individual consumers -- and the Honda Civic -- the best-selling small car in America -- were also named to the list and recognized for offering outstanding value in their respective categories. Separating vehicles into five basic categories -- small cars, family cars, luxury cars, pickups/vans and sport-utility vehicle -- the nationally recognized magazine hand-picks a select group within each segment and identifies them as vehicles that warrant special attention from consumers. Although Civic and Accord have previously been named Best Buys, 1999 marks a first for the Acura 3.2TL and the all-new Odyssey. Consumers Digest also acknowledged the Odyssey as "the new leader among minivans."
