September 24, 1958 ? Happy Birthday, Honda (Part 1)
2008-09-24 07:02:00 On this day in engineering history, Soichiro Honda founded the Honda Motor Company, a Japanese motorcycle manufacturer that would one day become the world's fifth largest car company. Today, Honda is the second largest automaker in Japan, the fourth largest carmaker in the United States, an
Honda OSM Concept
2008-09-21 13:23:00 Honda introduced the "Honda OSM" concept in July at the 2008 British International Motor Show . Web speculation abounds as to what this is: either a hybrid FWD sports car or an S2000 replacement - or both? Very limited statements by Honda confirm that it is absolutely not an S2000 replacement. (whew!) Looking at the drawing, we can see follow-on elements from the current S2000, but it's also clear that this is a FWD car. Note the long front overhang and the minimal distance between the front wheels and doors - clearly not a front/mid engine platform. Note that Honda announced a few weeks ago that there would be several new hybrids coming soon and undoubtedly this is one of them.

Honda to Revive the Insight as a Prius-fighter
2008-09-05 15:02:00 From Crave: The gadget blog: Honda introduced the first gas-electric hybrid for purchase with the Insight in 1999, then came Toyota's Prius and everyone forgot about Honda's little hybrid that could. We all knew that Honda was working on a larger Prius-fighting, dedicated hybrid ve

Honda CA 160 question to Stilljester

Before the Honda Prius: Briggs & Stratton's Gas-Electric Hybrid
2008-08-18 16:38:00 In 1980, Brooks Stevens and his son Kip teamed up with Briggs & Stratton to build a six-wheeled, gas-electric automobile prototype. Briggs & Stratton claimed on electric power alone (with the gasoline engine charging the batteries, we assume), the vehicle could travel between 30 and 60 m

Honda S2000 sales yields worst month in production history
2008-08-02 03:04:00 2001 S2000s Hondas were sold in the month of July, a time when sales for the year should be peaking. Instead, the S2000 has suffered it's worst month in production history. How much longer can this go on? A local dealer just sold it's CR for 30k even... apparently the CR model didn't help sales at all. What's wrong here? This is a reasonably economical car to own and it's a blast to drive. Are drivers so spoiled by luxury touches that they don't want a pure sports car anymore?
Honda Civic Type-R: ¡Increible Tuning!
2008-07-30 05:56:00 Hola Tuners! Ahora le ha tocado el turno al Honda Civic Type-R de séptima generación. Una preparación bastante interesante por parte de Simoni Racing que se han ocupado del más mínimo detalle para hacer que luzca atractivo.Esta vez solo se han lucido en la parte visual ya que mecánicamente han dejado el coche de serie pero se ha colocado una suspensión deportiva y unos discos autoventilados para los frenos. En un primer vistazo nos fijamos en las puertas LSD (Lamborghini Style Doors) que han sido instaladas, las llantas de aleación y la parrilla de aluminio, aunque si nos fijamos un poco más nos daremos cuenta de que los retrovisores también han sido cambiados y ahora disponen de intermitentes.Una de las partes más llamativas ha sido el interior, el cual se ha visto resaltado con cuero rojo para los asientos y partes del resto del interior. También podemos observar la pedalera Tuning cromada y el volante deportivo que posee una forma bien característica de los autos de fórmula 1. Ad...

Honda Racer is not the new S2000!
2008-07-19 15:17:00 Honda Designer Guillermo Gonzalez recently spent 3 months designing this new "Honda Racer" Hot Wheels model to help celebrate the 40th anniversary of Hot Wheels. Several other automakers also designed similarly wild models; each will sell for about $3. Note that this 20 liter (twenty!) 2400-HP V10-engined prototype with 32-inch wheels out back and 22 in the front would indeed make a fine "S20000". The envisioned 300 MPH top speed would put a complete and total end to those GT-R lap times at the Nurburgring... making them look little different from a those of a Stanza. But unfortunately it's not to be. We heard that Honda discovered that there would be a liability issue with the driver and/or passenger getting sucked out of the car as it nears it's completely illegal top speed. Presumably, experimentation with various wind deflectors didn't solve the problem this time...

¡Concept Car Honda hecho realidad!
2008-07-12 14:46:00 Hola Tuners! Quiero que sepan que ya estoy deseando que finalmente se presente el Honda OSM (Open Study Model) en el próximo Salón de Londres. Se trata del nuevo coche que la marca japonesa presentará en sociedad y del que no se sabe por el momento mucho. La foto que veis es la única imagen que Honda ha dado a conocer.Se trata de un modelo biplaza que según Honda, será ligero y eficiente, quizás se podría destacar que se trata de un modelo que servirá para promocionar la nueva línea verde, ya que la compañía garantiza una notable reducción de las emisiones de CO2.Según se indica en Automotive News, el nuevo Honda OSM es básicamente un diseño desarrollado en Alemania y ni siquiera existe un planteamiento sobre su producción, con lo que posiblemente se realicen nuevos cambios sobre el prototipo presentado antes de que finalmente entre en la cadena de producción.El Honda OSM se parece bastante al CR-Z hybrid que podéis ver en la segunda foto, son grandes coches pero a mi juicio necesit...

Speculation abounds on the next Honda S2000
2008-07-07 14:58:00 Current Japanese car magazines are discussing what a model year 2010 S2000 might look like, and have produced a speculative sketch: In my opinion, the sketch simply expresses current Honda styling trends, and certainly did not originate from Honda. Furthermore, the styling elements are a couple of years old, and Honda's design language will have advanced by then. Look at the upcoming NSX for the aggressive creases and angles that will define Honda performance cars going forward. You'll note, too, that the sketch includes provision for a folding hardtop (note the A-pillars), which has also been speculated on for the past several months. That supports the generally accepted theory that the car will compete against the Miata with a wider range of options and configurations. 2010 is probably too soon for the next S2000 - we would have seen spy shots of the car being tested by now. The next S2000 is not likely to be a simple restyle, since it wi...

Honda sales jump in May; S2000 sales fall again.
2008-06-04 04:13:00 Honda sales in North America made an enormous jump in May 2008, with the Civic increasing 28.3%. The S2000, however, fell again to one of the worst months ever. See the orange line in the graph below. Mar, Apr, and Mar are the top months for sales... as you can see this is by far the worst year ever. How long can this continue? That is the question... obviously healthy Honda sales can sustain the S2000... if Honda chooses to spend it's money like that. Also, Honda 2009 model year press introductions are taking place this month... we should know shortly whether there will even be a 2009 model year for the S2000. Honda Press Release follows: 06/03/2008 - TORRANCE, Calif. - American Honda Motor Co., Inc., May sales of 167,997, up 11.3 percent on a daily-selling-rate basis(1), shattered the company's all-time sales record for any month as Civic sales reached 53,299, up 28.3 percent versus last May and surpassing the previous monthly record for any car in the lineup.

Honda Fit Hybrid
2008-05-31 08:57:00 At the same time as Toyota may have a hybrid version of the Camry and the Highlander; when ‘Toyota’ and ‘Hybrid’ one thinks of the words in the same sentence, an image of the Prius is most to be expected to pop up in our head. That’s what people like about Toyota’s hybrid initiative and now with all the talk of throwing the Prius badge on a new family of hybrids just makes it all the a lesser amount of confusing. Truthfully, Honda hybrids have been very confused with all the recent news of all the upcoming hybrids. Honda really hope that it will figures this out early, because they’ve got four hybrids planned to hit the market by 2015. The number two Japanese automaker just announced that it will launch a hybrid version of the Fit in its next-generation model. “The Fit has great fuel efficiency to begin with, and if it put in a hybrid, it’s going to get even better, So with crude oil prices going up this much, I think a Fit hybrid is now starting to make senseâ€... |
