Honda showed it was listening during its "We're Fans of You Too" Week on Facebook, during which it recognized some of the innovative ways fans have shown their love for the brand over the years by mirroring these activities on their own.For example, a fan carved a Honda logo into their lawn, so Honda carved that fan's name into their corporate headquarters' lawn at the main entrance. A fan revealed his love for Honda with his Honda logo tattoo; Honda's vice president of marketing got an airbrushed tattoo of the fan's name and face. A fan requested a special Honda haircut at his barber; a Honda associate got that fan's name carved in his hair, too.
