Sunday, August 19, 2018 was our first ever Honda Expo. Held at Acura of Lynnwood, this was the final Honda and Acura exclusive event of the season in the NW.

Nearly 100 cars attended Honda Expo. In the past the Acura of Lynnwood Import Meet was open to all makes and models. The number of cars that registered was similar to previous years despite it being Honda and Acura only.
A huge number of new CTR’s were present with a good selection of just about every other make offered. Justin and his friends from Canada put on a show of their own with their beautiful classic Hondas. Many of them took top honors in multiple categories.
Overall this was a great kickoff event for the brand and the start of what we hope will turn into a much larger event. We have big plans in the works for 2019 and look forward to showing the local Honda/Acura scene what we can do!
