AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Oct. 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ —

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Oct. 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ —

  • Observance to run October 11-25 as part of a month-long recognition of LGBTQ history
  • Workshops for employees will include tributes to current and historical LGBTQ figures from Michigan and the LGBTQ movement
  • Tribute builds on company’s longstanding support of LGBTQ employees, communities and issues

FCA, in honor and support of its LGBTQ employees, communities and issues, will light the 960-square-foot glass Pentastar on top of its 15-story tower purple October 11-25 in observance of LGBTQ history, National Coming Out Day and National Spirit Day.

As part of the tribute, the company will fly a rainbow flag outside of its Auburn Hills, Michigan, complex and many of its 22 manufacturing facilities in the U.S. FCA will conduct a month-long series of informational programming for employees that includes tributes to current and historical LGBTQ figures from Michigan and the LGBTQ movement.

The nearly month-long observance builds on the company’s long-standing support of LGBTQ employees, communities and issues. For example, FCA recently expanded its award-winning supplier diversity program to include certified LGBTQ-owned businesses.

«FCA is committed to maintaining a diverse and inclusive business environment in which all people and ideas are welcomed, appreciated and respected,» said Mark Chernoby, Chief Technical Compliance Officer, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V., Head of Vehicle Safety and Regulatory Compliance, FCA – North America, and Executive Sponsor of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance (GALA) Business Resource Group at FCA. «Our diverse business culture represents different people and ideas that engage collaboratively to create brands and products that make us attractive in the marketplace, and support and sustain our success.»

National Coming Out Day is observed internationally on October 11 to celebrate coming out and to raise awareness of the LGBTQ community and the LGBTQ civil rights movement. The day commemorates the anniversary of the 1987 National March on Washington for lesbian and gay rights and is aligned with the company’s efforts to promote diversity and respect in the workplace.

National Spirit Day is an annual LGBTQ awareness day observed on the third Thursday in October, promoting LGBTQ youth and honoring LGBTQ victims of suicide.

«On behalf of the members of GALA at FCA, we are proud to work for a company that shows us so much support and respect,» said Greg Hawkins, Chair of GALA. «Because of this support, we work in a culture that allows any employee to be as out and honest about their lives as possible.»

As part of its commitment to diversity and inclusion, FCA supports 10 business resource groups (BRGs) whose objectives include promoting a positive awareness of diverse people and issues within the company and ensuring that the company’s products meet the expectations of diverse customers.

FCA BRGs represent a range of affinity communities that include African ancestry, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, women, Middle Eastern, disability, veteran, working parents and LGBTQ.

These employee-directed groups work to foster greater multi-cultural understanding among employees, career development of members and engagement with diverse communities.

ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The travel experts at Club Wyndham, the nation’s largest vacation ownership club, are offering a simple way for extended families and friends to gather around a new table this Thanksgiving: travel bubbles, made possible with an extended stay package in an apartment-style suite. These 15-night getaways provide a way for extended families to celebrate together; but first, each immediate family will quarantine for two weeks in their own suite. Travelers can cocoon in a comfortable Club Wyndham suite that feels like home, most with separate bedrooms, fully-equipped kitchens and relaxed living spaces, before reuniting for Thanksgiving dinner with cousins, aunts and grandmothers who have been isolating in their own respective suites.

«We’re offering our quar-nucopia package so that families can reunite and gather at a new destination this holiday.»

Club Wyndham’s quar-nucopia package comes complete with a $250 gift card to use towards pre-Thanksgiving must-haves, such as beer and wine delivery, meditation apps to find some Zen ahead of the inevitable election talk and grocery delivery to order all the must-have ingredients to whip-up a delicious Thanksgiving spread, right from the comfort and convenience of a fully-equipped vacation club suite.  

«As we approach the end of a very long year, we know that it’s time for families to get a change of scenery after eating hundreds of meals in a row at the same table,» said Noah Brodsky, chief brand officer at Club Wyndham. «We’re offering our quar-nucopia package so that families can enjoy each other’s company while they reunite and gather around a different table at a new destination this holiday.»

For travelers looking to take their Turkey Day festivities out West, sister vacation club, WorldMark by Wyndham, will also supply the quar-nucopia package to families who stay for two weeks before the big meal in a one-bedroom suite starting at $2,590 at WorldMark Pinetop in Pinetop, AZ.

Club Wyndham’s Thanksgiving Travel Bubbles provide a more comfortable way to travel, with most suites that offer multiple bedrooms, fully-equipped kitchens and relaxed living spaces. Guests who stay at Club Wyndham resorts this holiday will experience all the comforts and amenities of home while celebrating getting back on vacation mode – and, with 95% of the U.S. population living within 300 miles of a Wyndham Vacation Club resort, it’s easier than ever to load up the family and hit the road.

While the Court has ruled on certain preliminary issues, it has yet to make a ruling on the ultimate issue, whether the effect of the pandemic on eNett and Optal constitutes a «Material Adverse Effect», as defined in the Share Purchase Agreement. WEX bears the burden of proof on this issue, which remains to be decided at trial. At trial, WEX will not be permitted to rely on any impact on travel that occurred in connection with changes in law or regulation.

It has also cancelled five cruises scheduled to operate from Sydney, Australia from Jan. 16 – Feb. 8, 2021.

Following the U.S. Centers for Disease Control’s (CDC) decision to extend its no-sail order for cruise operations until Oct. 31, Carnival cancelled all but PortMiami and Port Canaveral cruises for the rest of the year.  It has now determined that November 2020 operations will not be feasible.

Carnival continues to work on protocols and procedures that would allow for the resumption of cruise operations, with a gradual, phased-in approach, designating Miami and Port Canaveral as the first two homeports for embarkations.  Cruises currently scheduled for December from those two homeports remain in place for the time being while Carnival evaluates options.  However, guests booked on cruises in December out of Miami and Port Canaveral still have the ability to voluntarily cancel their reservation and receive the same offer that all other impacted guests are receiving, which includes a combination future cruise credit (FCC) and onboard credit (OBC), or a full refund.

In Australia, Carnival is notifying guests and travel agents that five cruises on Carnival Splendor from Jan. 16 – Feb. 8, 2021 have been cancelled.  Those guests will receive the same offer of the combination FCC/OBC, or a full refund.

On-sale at Honda dealerships beginning tomorrow, the 2021 Accord will carry a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) starting at $24,770 (not including destination and handling), while the 2021 Accord Hybrid will be available at a starting MSRP of $26,370Click here for a video tour of the changes.

Widely regarded by experts as the benchmark midsize sedan, Honda raises the Accord’s game for the 2021 model year with a refresh that includes updates to styling, technology, drivability and safety features. In addition, unique upgrades were made to performance and design for the ultra-efficient and refined Accord Hybrid. On-sale at Honda dealerships beginning tomorrow, the 2021 Accord carries a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) starting at $24,770 (excluding destination/handling).

 «The new Honda Accord Hybrid is really the Accord to buy, offering customers more of everything they like about Accord — more power, refinement and, of course, excellent fuel economy ratings,» said Dave Gardner, executive vice president of National Operations at American Honda.  

2021 ACCORD UPGRADES
For the 2021 model year, all Accords boast a wider, restyled grille for an even more sophisticated look, along with improved integration of the Honda Sensing® system’s radar unit. Flanking the new grille on Sport and above trims (EX and above on Hybrid) are new LED high- and low-beam headlights with longer and wider down-the-road illumination. Also new are smaller openings for the fog lights. Additionally, LX, EX-L and Touring trims all receive new alloy wheel designs, while a new color is available for Sport, Sport Special Edition (SE) and Touring trims: Sonic Gray Pearl.

Inside, further enhancements to the class-leading style and sophistication of Accord’s cabin include an 8-inch Display Audio touchscreen entertainment system now standard on all trims (previously, EX and above). Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration also are now standard (previously EX and above), and EX-L and Touring trims (EX and above on Hybrid models) get new wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration.

The combination of wireless charging and wireless smartphone integration eliminates the extra step of physically connecting the phone, making Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ ready to go and freeing up an additional USB port for charging a separate phone. Front USB ports on all grades have been moved to the front of the center console for easier access, and Sport and higher trims (EX and higher trims for Accord Hybrid) now include dual 2.5-volt USB ports for rear seat passengers.

All Accords also receive a new Rear Seat Reminder, while upper grades gain a new Low Speed Braking Control system.

ACCORD HYBRID
The 2021 Accord Hybrid benefits from updates to the innovative Honda two-motor hybrid system for a more direct and immediate throttle response with a more natural acceleration feeling as engine revs climb in concert with the driver’s throttle input. With a peak total system output of 212 horsepower and peak torque delivery of 232 lb.-ft. right off idle, Accord Hybrid has the most power and torque in its class, with a top fuel economy rating of 48 mpg1.

Thanks to the unique configuration of the two-motor hybrid system, the Accord Hybrid also can spend more time operating solely on electric power than competing hybrid models, imbuing Accord with a smoother and more refined driving feel. Also, Accord’s sophisticated brake-by-wire technology offers more natural and consistent braking performance and pedal feel versus competing models, seamlessly blending mechanical and regenerative braking force.

Honda’s two-motor hybrid system uses a propulsion motor and a generator/starter motor built with a patented Honda design made with magnets using no heavy rare-earth metals. This reduces magnet cost and weight, while also reducing reliance on rare-earth metals, helping avoid the often negative environmental impact of mining them.

The hybrid powertrain control system manages the power delivery between each component and seamlessly switches between EV Drive, Hybrid Drive and Engine Drive for maximum efficiency with no input from the driver. Accord Hybrid drivers can further maximize fuel efficiency, or power, by selecting between Sport, EV and ECON modes using the three buttons behind the push-button gear selector.

Already, Honda leads all full-line automakers in fleet-average fuel economy and low CO2 emissions according to the U.S. EPA, with 27 vehicles that received EPA combined fuel economy ratings of 30 mpg or higher.

Visually, Accord Hybrid adds its own unique touches to the styling updates made to the entire 2021 Accord lineup, including a blue H-mark on the grille and Hybrid badges on the front fenders and trunk lid. This year, Accord Hybrid Touring grade features 19-inch wheels, giving it an upscale and sporty appearance.

NEW SPORT SPECIAL EDITION
The Accord Sport SE is new to the lineup for 2021, replacing Accord EX 1.5T and expands on the popular Sport trim with additional sought-after features. The new Sport SE adds leather seats, heated front seats, a four-way power passenger seat to complement the addition of 12-way power driver’s seat, heated mirrors, Smart Entry, and remote engine start to the popular Accord Sport 1.5T grade. This is in addition to the already generous equipment on the Sport 1.5T, which includes dual rear USB ports, leather-wrapped steering wheel with paddle shifters, leather-wrapped shift knob, and an 8-speaker audio system. Visually, Accord Sport and Sport SE are distinguished from the other trims by a rear trunk lid spoiler, trim-specific 19-inch wheel design, LED fog lights, dark-chrome grille and chrome exhaust finishers.

In addition to the updates made to Accord Hybrid’s two-motor system, the 2021 Accord’s two turbocharged engines receive updated engine management software for more linear and responsive throttle control. In addition, the 1.5-liter turbo has improved Idle Stop performance, with quicker engine start-up when the driver releases the brake.

A 192-horspower 1.5-liter VTEC Turbo® engine is standard in Accord LX, Sport, Sport SE and EX-L grades, while Accord Sport 2.0T and Touring are available exclusively with a 252-horsepower, 2.0-liter VTEC Turbo®.

The braking system has also been updated for smoother engagement, especially at low speeds such as in stop-and-go traffic and in parking situations.

SAFETY AND DRIVER-ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGIES
For the 2021 model year, all Accords receive a new Rear Seat Reminder and a rear seatbelt reminder as standard equipment. The Rear Seat Reminder chimes when the car is turned off, with a notification on the digital meter reminding drivers to check the rear seating area when exiting the car for children, pets or other precious cargo. The rear seatbelt reminder uses a warning on the digital meter to let drivers know if rear seat passengers have not fastened their seatbelts.

Accord Touring and Hybrid Touring trims now feature a new front and rear braking system called Low Speed Braking Control. Using sonar-based parking sensors, the new system can sense solid objects at low speeds, such as in parking situations, and warn the driver or apply the brakes to help avoid or mitigate a collision.

Honda Sensing® receives updates to Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane Keeping Assist system (LKAS). For 2021, ACC now has smoother braking when following another vehicle, while LKAS offers more effective and natural lane centering. Additionally, the steering wheel and dash controls for ACC and LKAS now feature industry-standard icons.

The 2021 Accord targets a 5-star Overall Vehicle Score from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and a Top Safety Pick+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), including the highest available rating of GOOD in all collision tests and SUPERIOR for frontal cash prevention. Also, the updated standard LED headlights have been designed to achieve a GOOD rating in the rigorous IIHS headlight standard.
