Does your furry little friend ride everywhere with you? If so, you may want to consider Honda's new dog-friendly version of the Element SUV, unveiled at New York's auto show last week.
The new Honda comes complete with a doggie bed and a spill-resistant water bowl, and includes a rear ventilation fan, rubber floor mats with bone patterns, and dog-friendly exterior emblems.
The vehicle also includes restraints designed to protect both the dog and people in a collision.
Will this be the end of dogs sticking their heads of car windows? Maybe, if they're too busy relaxing in their doggie beds.
If you love to bring your dog everywhere with you in style, then this may just be the car for you. Keep in mind that Hondas typically cost more to insure when it comes to auto coverage, but for those who know that nothing's too good for their pups, that won't be a bother.

What Determines My Commercial Auto Insurance Rate?
Any business that depends on a vehicle needs a good solid commercial auto policy. This will cover medical expenses for you or your employees and the vehicle in the event of an accident. Most commercial auto insurance policies have greater liability limits that personal auto insurance coverage.
But what exactly factors into your commercial auto policy? Here are a few things:
Your location
What your commercial auto(s) is/are carrying, and if hazardous materials are being transported
Ownership of vehicles
What safety devices are installed, such as anti-lock brakes, air bags, seat belts, etc.
Features such as alarm systems, GPS, professional locks, etc.
Maintenance of the commercial vehicles
Where the commercial vehicle is kept parked
The regular weather conditions of where you are located
Previous insurance claims
The extent of coverage you're looking for
The added safety features, good maintenance, and parking indoors will lower your premium, as will raising your deductible. You can also get a discount by combining your commercial auto policy with your other business policies - it pays to use the same insurer for everything.
