Executive Remarks from the 2019 Honda Passport and Talon Reveals

Henio Arcangeli, Jr. 
Senior Vice President of the American Honda Automobile Division

Welcome and thank you for joining us here, and online on the eve of the LA Auto Show.

We have not one, but TWO great vehicles to share with you today—one from our Honda Powersports group and the other a new addition to our award-winning Honda light truck lineup.

At SEMA last month, we had some fun with the Rugged Open-Air Vehicle Concept which spoke to the unique capabilities of Honda and our diverse product lines, combining elements of our Pioneer side-by-side and Ridgeline pickup.

But this is the first time we're debuting a new automobile and a new Powersports vehicle on the same stage. And as it turns out, both of the vehicles you will meet today share some common themes.

To start, both are built for adventure—one that will take you to the trailhead, and the other to practically anywhere you want to go from there.

Both also were designed and developed by our U.S. R&D teams here in Los Angeles and in Ohio. And both will be manufactured in America—one at Honda of South Carolina Manufacturing, where we produce ATVs and all of our side-by-side vehicles, and the other from Honda Manufacturing of Alabama,  home to Pilot, Ridgeline, and Odyssey.

So today, we're showcasing some of the things that make us unique and enable us to say "only Honda" can do this.

I'll be back in a minute, but to tell you more about one of these two adventure-oriented new Hondas, let me first introduce the vice president of the Powersports Division of American Honda, Chuck Boderman, who will tell you what they've got in store.
