Phase two involves three days of road loops offering a range of road surfaces and traffic conditions to evaluate ride and handling, engine and transmission smoothness and responsiveness, wind and road noise and ergonomics.

Value – competitive price and equipment levels, measured against those of vehicles in the same market segment.

Priced from $23,320, the CR-V is offered with a new Honda Earth Dreams Technology™ 185-horsepower, 2.4-liter direct-injected four-cylinder engine and CVT (continuously variable transmission). The CR-V can be had in either front- or all-wheel drive, and it earns best-in-class fuel economy, with and EPA-estimated 27 mpg city/34 mpg highway/ 29mpg combined for front-wheel-drive models, and 26/24/28-mpg for all-wheel drive.

The 2015 CR-V is manufactured exclusively for the North American market at Honda plants in the U.S., Canada and Mexico using domestic and globally sourced parts.

The recognition from Motor Trend validates the sales success of the Honda CR-V, which sold more than 300,000 units last year, and is on track to do the same in 2014. CR-V’s strong sales performance has been a consistent triumph for the Honda brand since the vehicle’s introduction, leading CR-V to become the best-selling SUV in the industry over the past decade.

Stebani Cruz Brings New Sound To DC Latin Fashion Week


WASHINGTON, Oct. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — DMV recording artist Stebani Cruz will step out to rock the DC Latin Fashion Week Gala as the event’s finale performer. Cruz, who is a singer, songwriter and entrepreneur, will take the stage October 17.

Stebani Cruz, a rising Latina artist will be performing in Washington DC on October 17, 2014 at Carnegie Library for Latin Fashion Week.

Cruz’s music is a hot new addition to the DC recording scene, and her message is a perfect fit for an event like DC Latin Fashion Week, which showcases Latin talent.

Songwriting, music and the kind of hard work it takes to go after a dream have been the driving forces behind Cruz’s life. As a self-made entrepreneur and artist, her experience is something that today’s young Latina women can look to for inspiration. 

“I think when you believe in something so deeply, everyone else believes in it with you,” said Cruz. “Life is not really about what you’ve been through, it’s what you do with what you’ve been through to get where you want to be, and that’s where dreaming comes in. My music is about how experiences push you forward and how they don’t have to hold you back.”

Beyond inspiration, Cruz’s music is also about empowerment. One of her newest music videos, featuring her song, “Mala,” encourages women to take a stand. And Cruz’s newest song, which will be her first release in English, questions the ideas about beauty that pop culture icons define as the ideal for women.

“Beauty comes in so many shapes and sizes. I want to change the things that we’re saying as musicians,” said Cruz. “Our girls need to be warriors and they shouldn’t have to measure themselves by these standards that say beauty is all about a certain look or a certain style.”

Cruz said she’s particularly excited to bring that message to the DC Latin Fashion Week event. “This is such a great opportunity to touch the lives of people and contribute to a good cause,” she said.

ABOUT DC LATIN FASHION WEEK
The Latin Fashion Week “Capitol Fashion Award Gala,” or CFAG, is a platform for advancing the importance of contribution, innovation and the impact of Latin art, leaders and the fashion community to the global economy, specially the apparel industry. The Latin Fashion Week will pay tribute to the creativity and innovations and empower economic development event true the fashion industry.
