Gateway Honda Dealers Storm Pilot Brings Mobile Doppler to St. Louis Residents

Online, March 26, 2013 (Newswire.com) - It is with great pride that the team at Mungenast St. Louis Honda announces the deployment of the Storm Pilot to the FOX 2 weather team. An initiative by the Gateway Honda Dealers Group, the Storm Pilot is a specially-equipped version of Honda's famous SUV, carrying the latest in storm-tracking technology.

Now, weather experts at FOX 2 will be able to provide up to date information to area residents as it happens, reporting on dangerous storms as quickly as possible when they threaten the bi-state area. Bringing mobile doppler to the scene, other stations will be observing the storms from 50-60 miles away, lagging behind in important safety news when people need it the most.

Designed to track all manner of weather, from winter storms to tornadoes, the mobile doppler system on the Storm Pilot is configured specifically to give people a perspective on storms that has previously been unavailable in the St. Louis area. Taking viewers right into the core of some of the area's most severe storms, FOX 2's new SUV will be relaying images and data directly to the studio for the benefit of area viewers.

The Storm Pilot isn't the only tech-friendly Honda these days; in fact, every 2013 Honda model carries a load of new features and amenities that many automakers expect drivers to pay for. While doppler radar hasn't become a standard feature - yet! - Honda has their innovative i-MID infotainment system, Bluetooth phone and audio streaming, and much more as standard equipment on the basic LX trim levels of their new vehicles, including the 2013 Honda Pilot.

Until the end of April, area Honda dealers are participating in the automaker's Really Big Spring Event, making it easier than ever to lease a brand new Honda, equipped with enough features to cause drivers and other manufacturers to rethink what it means to be "standard."
