Japanese automaker Honda is the third-largest auto manufacturer in the world and the largest motorcycle manufacturer. They know two-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles like the back of their own hands. However, when we say Honda plans to take flight next year, we're not referring to robust automobile or motorcycle sales. Rather, we mean they're aiming to capture roughly a quarter of the world's small business jet market share. That's right; Honda is planning to take off in the most literal sense possible.

What do you hope to do before your next "leap" in life? That's the question that Honda is asking its fans in connection with the Honda CR-V Leap Year Contest. That's right, 2012 is a leap year, and Honda is ready to celebrate this oddity by asking participants to make "leap lists" of actions they would like to complete- and then challenges them to do so.
