Honda trucks had another strong month, jumping 16.2 percent on sales of 61,059 vehicles. CR-V led the way with sales of over 31,000 units while the new HR-V grabbed 5,909 sales and, despite the continued production ramp-up, the brand-new 2016 Pilot earned nearly 10,000 new customers in July—its first full month on the market. Odyssey also gained significantly in July.

Despite the market rush toward trucks, Civic and Accord each posted stronger performances over 30,000 units – with Civic gaining 3.7 percent on sales of 31,139 while 34,496 Accords were sold in July to nearly match a very strong July 2014.

Odyssey maintained its upward trend, increasing 17.8 percent on sales of 12,851 vehicles in July.
31,139 Civics were sold in July for a gain of 3.7 percent.

“This is not only the strongest lineup of Honda light trucks in our history, from top to bottom it is one of the hottest lineups in the industry’s hottest segment—trucks,” said Jeff Conrad, Honda Division senior vice president and general manager. “What feels really good is that Honda automobiles are also showing considerable strength, even with the new 2016 Accord and all-new Civic on the horizon.”

Acura
With a nearly 20 percent overall gain, sedans continue to evolve into one of the key Acura brand success stories. The recently refreshed ILX steps up with a best-ever July, combining with a still-streaking TLX to push Acura cars up 101.7 percent for the month. The RDX showed renewed strength as it set a new July benchmark with a nearly 30 percent gain, while the MDX is working through inventory issues.

The refreshed RDX continued its gains, jumping 29.6 percent with sales of 4,577 units in July
Acura sedan sales totaled 5,361 in July, up 101.7 percent for the month.

“With Acura sedan sales continuing to strengthen, the Acura brand is on its strongest footing in years,” said John Mendel, executive vice president of American Honda. “With both sedans and trucks clicking with luxury buyers Acura is on pace for our best sales year in nearly a decade.”

If You Purchased Scotts EZ Seed®, A Class Action Lawsuit May Affect Your Rights

If You Purchased Scotts EZ Seed®, A Class Action Lawsuit May Affect Your Rights

NEW YORK, Aug. 3, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The following statement regarding In re Scotts EZ Seed Litigation, Case No. 12-cv-4727, is being issued by Bursor & Fisher, P.A. and Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP and was authorized by a federal court. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.

You may be affected by a class action lawsuit alleging fraud-based, warranty, contract, and unjust enrichment claims against The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company, Inc. and The Scotts Company LLC (collectively “Scotts”) alleging that EZ Seed^® does not grow grass at all or, in the alternative does not grow grass “50% Thicker With Half the Water* *Versus ordinary seed when each was watered at half the recommended rate. Results may vary,” as advertised.

The lawsuit is called In re Scotts EZ Seed Litigation, Case No. 12-cv-4727, and is in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Court decided this lawsuit should be a class action on behalf of a “Class,” or group of people, that could include you. This notice summarizes your rights and options. More information is in a detailed Notice available at the website below. If you’re included, you have to decide whether to stay in the Class and be bound by the results, or ask to be excluded and keep your right to sue Scotts. The validity of the claims has not been proven. There is no money available now and no guarantee that there will be.

ARE YOU AFFECTED?

The Class includes “all persons who purchased EZ Seed in the States of California or New York containing the label statement ‘50% Thicker With Half the Water* *Versus ordinary seed when each was watered at half the recommended rate. Results may vary.’ ” If you purchased Scotts EZ Seed^® labeled “50% Thicker With Half the Water* *Versus ordinary seed when each was watered at half the recommended rate. Results may vary,” in California or New York, you are a Class Member, and your rights may be affected.

WHO ARE THE DEFENDANTS?

The defendants are The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company, Inc. and The Scotts Company LLC. They are collectively referred to as “Scotts.”

WHAT IS THIS CASE ABOUT?

Beginning in 2009 Scotts manufactured the Scotts EZ Seed^® combination grass seed product. Plaintiffs claim that Defendant mislabeled the product as effective for growing grass, and as capable of growing grass “50% Thicker With Half the Water* *Versus ordinary seed when each was watered at half the recommended rate. Results may vary,” when it was neither. The lawsuit seeks to recover compensatory relief up to a full refund. Plaintiffs also seek to obtain all such other relief to which they may be entitled pursuant to California and New York law, including, without limitation, actual, statutory, and punitive damages.

Scotts denies any wrongdoing and denies the Plaintiffs’ allegations. Scotts contends that science supports their claim. The Court has not decided whether the Plaintiffs’ claims have any merit. During the remainder of the suit, the Plaintiffs will have to prove their allegations.

WHO REPRESENTS YOU?

The Court appointed the law firms of Bursor & Fisher, P.A. and Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP to represent you as “Class Counsel.” You may hire your own lawyer to appear in Court for you if you wish; however, if you do, you will be responsible for paying that lawyer on your behalf. Michael Arcuri, David A. Browne, Gwen Eskinazi, Stacy D. Lombardo, Lance Moore, Vance Smith, and Nancy Thomas are the named Plaintiffs and have been appointed as the “Class Representatives.”

WHAT ARE YOUR OPTIONS?

You have a choice of whether to stay in the Class or not, and you must decide this now. If you stay in the Class, you will be legally bound by all orders and judgments of the Court, and you won’t be able to sue, or continue to sue, Scotts as part of any other lawsuit involving the same claims that are in this lawsuit. If money or benefits are obtained, you will be notified about how to get a share. To stay in the Class, you do not have to do anything now.

If you ask to be excluded from the Class, you cannot get any money or benefits from this lawsuit if any are awarded, but you will keep any rights to sue Scotts for these claims, and will not be bound by any orders or judgments of the Court. To ask to be excluded, send a letter to the address below. This letter must actually be received by the addressee on or before September 21, 2015. Your letter must contain: (1) the name of this lawsuit; (2) your full name and current address; (3) a clear statement of intention to exclude yourself; and (4) your signature.

HOW CAN YOU GET MORE INFORMATION?

If you have questions or want a detailed notice or other documents about this case and your rights, visit www.EZSeedLawsuit.com. You may also contact Class Counsel by email at [email protected], or by writing to: In re Scotts EZ Seed Litigation, c/o GCG, P.O. Box 10208, Dublin, Ohio 43017-3908.

Rahal, Honda Master Mid-Ohio

– Popular victory for hometown hero at the Honda Indy 200

– Second win of 2015 puts Rahal within nine points of series championship lead

– Justin Wilson completes a 1-2 result for Honda

LEXINGTON, Ohio, Aug. 2, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Graham Rahal drove a flawless race and his Rahal Letterman Lanigan team employed perfect pit strategy to win Sunday’s Honda Indy 200 at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. Rahal’s second IndyCar Series victory of 2015 moves him to within nine points of leader Juan Pablo Montoya in the battle for the drivers’ championship, with two races remaining.

Making his fifth start of the season, Justin Wilson finished second for Andretti Autosport to give Honda a 1-2 finish at its “home” circuit, in front of some 15,000 Honda associates from more than a half-dozen manufacturing plants and support facilities in central and western Ohio among the large crowd in attendance.

Pit strategy played an important role in Sunday’s 90-lap contest on the hilly, 2.258-mile Mid-Ohio circuit, as an early caution on Lap 21 resulted in the field splitting into two groups. Those who elected to pit during the caution – 12 of the 24-car starting field, including both Rahal and Wilson – put themselves in contention for the victory.

On Lap 68, just after this group made its third and final stop of the race, the caution flag waved for the second time. With their pit stops already complete, Rahal, Wilson, Simon Pagenaud and Scott Dixon, among others, were positioned at the front of the field when the green waved again on Lap 69.

At the head of the pack, Rahal succeeded in maintaining his advantage, while Wilson held off Pagenaud for second. Rahal again held off an attack from Wilson following a brief caution flag with just ten laps remaining, then pulled away to a 3.4-second margin of victory at the checkers.

In addition to claiming the top two steps of the victory podium, Honda drivers also finished sixth through tenth to dominate the top of the Mid-Ohio box score. Tristan Vautier had his best result of 2015 to finish sixth, followed by Iowa race winner Ryan Hunter-Reay, seventh, Jack Hawksworth in eighth, Detroit victor Carlos Munoz, ninth, and Marco Andretti rounding out the top 10.

Video recaps from Honda’s IndyCar Series victory and this weekend’s Acura Pirelli World Challenge action at Mid-Ohio are being posted on the “Honda Racing/HPD” YouTube channel. Produced by the Carolinas Production Group, the video packages can be found in the 2015 HPD Trackside Video Playlist at: https://www.youtube.com/HondaRacingHPDTV.

The Verizon IndyCar Series now takes two weeks off before heading to Pocono Raceway in eastern Pennsylvania for the penultimate race in the 2015 championship and final round in the “triple crown” of 500-mile races: the Pocono IndyCar 500 on Sunday, August 23.

Verizon IndyCar Series Drivers’ Championship (after 14 of 16 rounds):
1. Juan Pablo Montoya	465 points (2 wins)	6. Sebastien Bourdais	379 (2 wins)
2. Graham Rahal	456 (2 wins)	7. Marco Andretti	378
3. Scott Dixon	431 (2 wins)	8. Josef Newgarden	370 (2 wins)
4. Helio Castroneves	407	9. Tony Kanaan	354
5. Will Power	406 (1 win)	10. Simon Pagenaud	329

Manufacturers
1. Chevrolet	1,209 (9 wins)
2. Honda	1,029 (5 wins)

Graham Rahal (#15 Rahal Letterman Lanigan Honda) started 13^th, finished 1^st, his 2^nd IndyCar Series victory of 2015 and 3^rd career win: “This is a special day for my team and for Honda. Honestly, [even] if I’d won a lot of races in my career – but I never won this one – I think I’d be pretty disappointed. To win this one, you have no idea what it means to our family. For the Rahals, this track has been pretty special to us for so, so many years. It’s funny how this whole thing has come together: I’ve got the [Ohio State University] “buckeye” helmet, this is all amazing. I didn’t have any push-to-passes left on that last restart, so I was pretty nervous that [Justin] Wilson might get me. But the car was awesome, I was able to just absolutely gap anyone I needed to at the end.”

Justin Wilson (#25 Andretti Autosport Honda) started 14^th, finished 2^nd: “”It feels great to get a second place. I was pushing like hell to try and get past Graham [Rahal] on that [final, Lap 83] restart. I knew I couldn’t lean on him or bang wheels with him – he’s a Honda driver going for the championship, so that was in the back of my mind. At the same time I wanted to push him as hard as I could, make him honest and make him earn it. He did a fantastic job today. I had one more push-to-pass left, but Graham was too quick – all the credit to him today because he was on fire. We pushed as hard as we could. I have to thank everyone at Andretti Autosport and Honda for all the work they’ve done. I’m pleased to get Honda a 1-2 finish at its home track.”

Art St. Cyr (President, Honda Performance Development) on today’s victory at Mid-Ohio: “Today was a great day for Honda. With this being Honda’s “home” track, it’s always gratifying to win here in front of so many Honda associates. Congratulations to Graham, Bobby and the rest of the Rahal Letterman Lanigan team on their second victory of the season and heading into Pocono with some serious momentum. The team and everyone at HPD are working hard to continue our fight for the championship.”

To further celebrate the fluid duality in which Mexican-Americans move between their Mexican and American worlds, Tecate has strategically timed the two-day event to take place during the Labor Day weekend and just ahead of Mexican Independence Day (September 16^th) – two significant moments for each culture.

“From great tasting, full-flavored beers to sports such as soccer and boxing, we know what our audience loves, and deliver products and experiences that immerse our consumers 21 and older in these passions,” said Gustavo Guerra, brand director for Tecate. “This two-day celebration with Chivas is our way of saying thank you to our loyal audience, while paying homage to their Mexican-American heritage.”

This match-up between Chivas and Club Leon is the fifth and final soccer preseason game brought to consumers by Tecate this summer. Others included Chivas matches against Club Atlas, Club Pachuca and Rayados de Monterrey. Tickets for this upcoming game, which will be organized and produced by Pazzo Sports, will be available from noon PDT today here.

The Twins Maurice and Karim Neme, Entrepreneurs and Founder of Electric Festival, are proud to organize the third edition in conjunction with the Aruba Tourism Authority and Amsterdam Dance Event.

From Thursday, Sept. 3rd to Sunday, Sept. 6th, Aruba opens its gates for the electronic music industry and showcases for the world. The four day event will feature top international DJs as well as ADE Global Sessions. Tickets and travel packages are available at http://www.electricfestival.com/tickets.

Grammy award winning DJ and producer, Afrojack, is one of the most influential names in electronic dance music today. At only 27, he has played a large role in the worldwide explosion and popularity of dance music with The Hollywood Reporter calling him “a global icon” set “to conquer the world” and in 2014, Forbes placed him at #6 on its annual list of ‘The World’s Highest Paid DJs.’ A talented producer and artist, Afrojack is versatile and creative with his sound whether creating club hits or producing and remixing for the likes of Beyonce, Pitbull or Madonna. Afrojack is adept at shifting between genres and playing with his sound and it’s easy to see why his skills are some of the most sought after in the world. Nick also won an EBBA Award (a BUMA Initiative) in his home country, the Netherlands.

Given Afrojack’s immense popularity and influence on the music industry it is no surprise that many corporate brands have flocked to him for brand partnerships. Afrojack recently announced a partnership with globally celebrated fashion label ‘G-Star Raw’ for his own line of Afrojack inspired designs sold worldwide. He recently released his second capsule collection with the brand, after his first collection sold out in only 48 hours. He was also sought out by leading gaming company, Razer, to be a brand consultant on the development of its future products. Further, Nick’s single, ‘Ten Feet Tall,’ premiered as a part of Bud Light’s newest commercial during the 2014 Superbowl. He continues to collaborate with some of the world’s most legendary music artists, including his most recent appearance on “Good Morning America” with world renowned music artist Sting.

Afrojack has built a global brand that is recognized for influencing attitudes and championing new levels of change for the music world. It is clear from his exponential growth that there is no stopping him and at only 27 years old, this is just the beginning; now he touches Electric Festival for the very first time.

The first two editions of Electric Festival were attended by more than 15,000 people in both 2013 and 2014. With artists and speakers such as Chus & Ceballos, Dave Clarke, DJ Chuckie, Erick Morillo, Fellow, Knife Party, Lil John, Loco Dice, Maarten Vorwerk, Mike Henderson (ENDO), Nicole Moudaber,, Nutzbeatz, No Eat No Sleep, Partai, REVOLT TV, Slash, Stacey Pullen and many others.

Visitors in previous years came not only from neighboring ABC Islands, a strong following from the U.S., Venezuela, and Europe emerged.

With the addition of prominent new speakers and program items, Amsterdam Dance Event’s global touring platform, ADE Global Sessions, is also shaping its Aruba lineup for this year. During ADE Global Sessions Aruba there will be a host of exclusive industry meetings, strategy sessions, top notch Q&A’s, pop-up parties and more alongside Electric Festival.

The program of ADE Global Sessions Aruba focuses on the exploding electronic dance music market in the Latin American and Caribbean region. Exclusive business gatherings include an interactive series of powerful talks on the rise of electronic music festivals in the region with Leizer Guss (OCESA/EDC Mexico), Rodrigo Frutos (The Bullitt Agency) and Edo van Duijn (SFX South America) and Industry Inside: Spot on Latin America, with Brandon Bakshi (BMI) talking to Luis Estrada (Aftercluv Dancelab/Universal Music Latin Entertainment) about industry trends, sounds, possibilities and future visions for electronic dance music in and from the Latin American region.

With a diverse program that offers opportunities for a new generation, Aruba wants to get back in the driver’s seat and be the number one destination amongst millennials and attract not only with its flamingos, crystal clear waters and sandy beaches.
