Fun and Fuel Efficient in 2009 : New Honda 2009

Fun and Fuel Efficient in 2009
by Robert Dillman
Performance and miles per gallon are rarely mentioned positively together in the same sentence. During the American muscle car era, depleting oil sources and $4.00 per-gallon gasoline prices were never on the minds of the automakers. Therefore the biggest, most powerful engines possible were stuffed into the heaviest body and frame structures ever seen on the road. Today is a much different story. Unstable oil prices and economic turmoil are a burden on the auto industry. With hybrid and electric powered vehicles on the distant horizon, many automakers are looking to their compact four-cylinder models to keep business afloat. Some of these compact cars are not only extremely fuel efficient, a few are downright sporty and actually fun to drive. These light chassis platforms may soon be the only options for car-driving enthusiasts to afford to own. Here is a short list of the fun and versatile cars coming out for the 2009 model year. 2009 Toyota Matrix The newest rendition of the Matrix model from Toyota is the fastest and sportiest yet. With multiple engine, transmission and drivetrain choices, the Matrix buyer is given the ability to decide which combination is best suited for him/her in everyday driving. The base model Matrix comes with a 1.8 liter engine with 132 horsepower and either a four-speed automatic or five-speed manual transmission. The base model comes in a front-wheel drive trim and gets and astounding 32 miles-per-gallon on the highway. S and XRS model variants of the Matrix both come with the bigger 2.4 liter engine with 160 horsepower. This engine also has Toyota's variable-valve-timing system to achieve fuel economy at lower revs but still provide a burst of power in the higher rev-range. The S trim comes standard with the all-wheel-drive system and the four-speed automatic tranny, while the XRS is fitted with the five-speed manual gear box and the front-wheel-drive system. The choices are complicated but give the consumer complete control on what they want to drive. This sport-hatchback offers a more aggressive model to the Toyota lineup, with great fuel economy and everyday utility. The suspension has been redesigned from the Corolla model to offer better handling and less body roll. Prices from the Matrix start at $17,000 for the base model and can climb to $22,000 for a loaded S trim all-wheel-drive variant. 2009 Honda Fit The Fit is also redesigned for 2009. Honda has upgraded the new Fit with much more aggressive styling, a newer-more powerful engine, bigger-more efficient brakes and a more refined and roomier interior. The Sport version also offers suspension upgrades and even more styling cues to the already sporty base model. The new Fit comes with a retuned 1.5 liter i-VTEC motor with 117 horsepower. It's up eight horses from last year's model but still gets 35 miles-per-gallon on the highway. Like the Matrix, the Fit's engine features variable-valve-timing technology (like most Hondas) that allows the driver to have excellent fuel economy at low revs and better performance at higher engine speeds. The body and frame of the Fit have also been redesigned to offer a more rigid and stiffened suspension ride quality when you are cornering through the twistys. For the 2009 model, two transmissions are offered: a five-speed manual or five-speed automatic with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. The paddle shifters are Formula One inspired and offer the driver instantaneous up and down shifts at their fingertips. The base model Fit starts at $14,500 while the sport model with the optional navigation system comes is priced around $19,000. That makes the Fit affordable in any model or variation and the bargain of the year when you combine its performance and styling with its fuel efficient nature. 2009 Mini Cooper The 2009 Cooper is relatively the same-looking as the first generation that arrived in the U.S. in 2006. Besides a few design changes to the front end (headlights, hood-scoop) and a new wheel design, the first and second generation Coopers are identical. That however, is where the similarities end. The most distinct change to the Mini is all-new turbocharged power plant under the hood of the S trimmed model. The 1.7 liter four-banger is no fitted with BMW's twin-scroll turbocharger to deliver neck-snapping torque at every rpm. The old Mini had a supercharged 1.6 liter engine that lacked the top end horsepower of the new version. Power is up to 172 horses. By the way, not only in the new Cooper S the fastest on this list, but on the highway it gets the best gas mileage. It's a whopping 37 miles per gallon on the highway. The new Mini comes in two trims, base and S models. Each comes with a close-ratio six-speed manual gear box, but a six-speed automatic with paddle shifters is optional. The cheaper base model gets a 1.6 liter motor with 120 horsepower instead of the turbocharged mill. Both models get the famous Cooper go-kart style suspension, but the S model comes standard with upgraded springs, stiffer shocks, bigger vented disc brakes and a new traction control system; to give it even better handling characteristics. Pricing for the base model Cooper starts at $19,200, while the S model is $22,600, making this the most expensive compact on this list if you opt for the fully-loaded S model. It's well worth the price though, for all of the performance and handling upgrades that Mini is offering with their 2009 model. The Cooper's excellent fuel economy alone will make the new version a hot seller as gas prices continue to climb.

Honda RA107: Off with the "Elephant Ears"

Honda RA107: Off with the "Elephant Ears"
by lara
In Barcelona, Spain last week Honda F1 team has tested its new aerodynamic design which was in the form of "elephant ears". The Honda RA107 which was driven by Christian Klien with its protruding elephant ears on its front nose was following the heels on MacLaren's nose-straddling front wing. Unfortunately it seems like the elephant ears are not really meant for racing, the Honda F1 team has set the slowest time of the day. The team has finally decided not to push through with their new aerodynamic design since it has done nothing to enhance the performance of their car. According to Jacky Eeckelaert, engineering director, "The main purpose of our test programme this week was to evaluate different aerodynamic configurations which have been developed in order to improve the braking stability of the car. The braking is definitely better now and the lap times have improved and become more consistent, but there is still a long way to go to bring the team back into contention." Honda, second largest auto seller in Japan and maker of high quality accord body kit, has been working really hard to correct the problems of the new car since the start of the season especially in terms of the car's handling performance. According to some reports the team is currently working round the clock to develop a new car which would be launch hopefully next month in time for the Canadian Grand Prix. Although the test didn't go well for the Honda team it proceeded remarkably for some teams like for instance David Coulthard and Red Bull Racing has been able to grab some attention by posting a new track record with a time of 1:21.066. The quick lap happens during the qualifying simulation wherein the RB3 was running on a minimal amount of fuel just before it hit the circuit. Pedro de la Rosa of the McLaren's was 2-10ths back as he tries to test the new front wing of the team's car which would make its debut at the Spanish Grand Prix in two weeks time. Felipe Massa of the Ferrari team was able to finish with the third fastest time despite a mechanical failure that has interrupted his drive in the morning. And as expected of Ferraris they have finished the week recording the fastest time, three out of the four testing days. Giancarlo Fisichella, the driver for Renault was the fourth quickest with Robert Kubica completing the top five. The driver for Toyota, Ralf Schumacher finishes as the sixth fastest. About Honda Honda Motor Co., Ltd. or Honda for short is a Japanese engineering and engine manufacturer corporation. It is renowned for its automobiles and motorcycles. It has also surpassed Nissan as the second largest distributor of autos in Japan. Honda also manufactures other products that include trucks, robots, scooters, jet engines, and jets, ATV, electric generators, water craft, lawn and garden equipment, marine engines, as well as aeronautical and other various mobile technologies. The high-end line of cars of Honda is sold under the Acura brand for China and North America. And just recently the company has ventured into the domain of mountain bikes and they have produced the first-of-its-kind bike that makes use of an internal gear changing system in the Honda RN-01 G-cross. In addition, Honda is also the world's largest producer of engines, building more than 14 million internal combustion engines each year. It was in the year 2004 when Honda started producing diesel motors that were very silent and does not required the addition of particulate filter to pass the emission standards. Honda has its base in Tokyo. Its shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange, Tokyo Stock Exchange and exchanges in Osaka, Sapporo, Nagoya, Kyoto, London, Switzerland, Paris, and Fukuoka. Honda has subsidiaries in California and Canada plus it also forms a number of joint ventures around the world which include Honda Siel Cars India Ltd., Dongfeng Honda Automobile Company in China, Hero Honda Motorcycles India Ltd., and Honda Atlas Cars Pakistan.

Showing Off Your Honda Civic SI :new honda civic minor change 2009

Showing Off Your Honda Civic SI
by Kathy Austin
Honda Civic SI is a vehicle that can be an immense source of pride and joy for vehicle owners everywhere. This vehicle, which is manufactured by the Japanese automobile company Honda, is actually the sports version of its rather famous econocar sister, the Honda Civic. Owning a vehicle like this has made a lot of people use Honda Civic SI keychains on their car keys to show everyone what a wonderful car they have. The Honda Civic SI boasts of a popular following that began with the introduction of this car in 1984. The designation "SI" actually means "Sports Injected" and was first used in the 1984 Honda Civic SI that came in the 3-door hatchback style. The introduction of this souped up Honda Civic to the market gained popularity among those car owners who enjoyed tweaking with their cars and speed enthusiasts. The 3-door hatchback design of the Honda Civic SI was retained for most of its life, with modifications to the car's design, engine and other specifications being made throughout the years. The Honda Civic SI then saw a change in body style from the 3-door hatchback design that people have seemed to have gotten used to, to a new age 2-door coupe body design in 1996. This gave the Honda Civic SI a sportier appeal to complement the added engine power that the name implies. Engine power for the original Honda Civic SI was pegged at 130 horsepower when it was first introduced in the early 1980s. The engine's power was then seen to fluctuate between 112 to 158 horsepower between the mid 1980s till the early 1990s models. The 1992 to 1995 version of this automobile sported an engine that gave the car 125 horsepower. Different regions of the world, however, seemed to have different powerplants installed into their Honda Civic SI's. There were vehicles of the same make and model that had a 130 horsepower engine and there were others that had between 158 to 168 horsepower under their hoods. The 1996 to 2000 version of this car had 160 horsepower to its name and came in three color selections. Only Canadian Honda Civic SI buyers had the option of a fourth color choice, which is the Vogue Silver Metallic. The three original color choices for this era's Hinda Civic SI included Flamenco Black Pearl, Electron Blue Pearl and Milano Red. The 2002 to 2005 edition of this car returned to its original hatchback roots. While the car still had the 160 horsepower engine under its hood, it did not gain as much acclaim as its predecessor due to its less than sporty look. The current Honda Civic SI now comes in two body designs, the 2-door coupe and the 4-door sedan. With a 197 horsepower 2.0-liter engine to give it the power that a lot of car buyers these days seem to want, it is no wonder that this car, which comes in numerous color choices, is one of the most popular cars being purchased these days.

Will Hydrogen Cars Replace Hybrid Cars? : New Honda hydrogen hybrid cars 2009

Will Hydrogen Cars Replace Hybrid Cars?
by Wendy Gorman

Wouldn't you just know it, just as the Hybrid Car begins to make its presence felt as the saviour of tomorrows motorist (and the world) along comes another young pretender to the throne - The hydrogen fuelled car. Some people say that hydrogen cars will have pure refeshment water on tap. We shall see, in theory it could happen with a Hydrogen Car but they are way behind the Hybrid Car in their development program and forecasting is impossible. Hydrogen cars do however, have the potential to be better cars than Hybrid Cars in several ways so we need to compare their known characteristics.
Hydrogen cars use a chemical reaction rather than a burning process for motive power
Conventional cars burn fossil fuel and Hybrid Cars use smaller amounts of the same fuel to charge their batteries. Hydrogen Cars do not use fossil fuel at all. Instead Hydrogen Cars depend upon a chemical reaction between Hydrogen and Oxygen that produces a lot of energy plus pure water residue - a completely pollution free process. Hence the earlier reference to water on tap in Hydrogen cars. It is not possible for Hybrid Cars to achieve the same thing without breaking the Laws of Chemistry.
The reaction process in Hydrogen Cars produces up to three times the energy output from the equivalent gasoline based process in conventional and hybrid cars.
Hydrogen fuel burns both hotter and faster than fossil based fuel and is therefore much more efficient. In theory therefore it should be possible to design Hydrogen Cars that canreach incredible speeds with as yet unrealised acceleration compared to Hybrid Cars. There is simply no way that Hybid Cars, dependent as they are (in all their forms) on battery power, will be able to compete on this level.
The question arises "Is the hydrogen car concept for real?
Many people believe that Hybrid Cars reflect reality much more than Hydrogen Cars do. Hybrid Cars exist on our roads now and have already cut pollution emmissions by some 30% to 50%. Why then do we need to indulge in a possible flight of fancy such as the Hydrogen Car by investing vast sums of money to try to achieve the impossible?
The Hydrogen used in Hydrogen Cars is defined as a fuel carrier. It is not considered to be a fuel source in itself.
Indeed, it is hoped by some proponents of this type of fuel process, that in the future it will be possible to produce hydrogen with the use of such sources as wind power and other renewable energy sources.That means that hydrogen has to be produced from other sources. And people are hoping that hydrogen will be able to be produced from things such as wind power or other types of renewable sources. Right now, it looks like all we have is natural gas. That is the most efficient way to get hydrogen. And if that's the case, then there's no need to make hydrogen cars. Hybrid cars already cut down on how much gas people use. Who needs hydrogen cars that may end up costing us more in natural gas?
It will be hard create a lot of stations to fuel hydrogen cars
People are saying there is an overwhelming amount of challenges when it comes to creating the multitudes of hydrogen fueling stations that would be needed if millions of people suddenly started owning hydrogen cars. Hybrid cars use gas. And we already have gas stations.
But president Bush has made it clear that he wants hydrogen cars to be on the roads in significant numbers by the year 2020. So it seems that those who oppose hydrogen cars might just have to hold their breath and see if hydrogen cars actually live up to the lofty promises people associate with them. If they don't live up to their promises, people will probably start running back to hybrid cars in droves. And that's not too bad. Hybrid cars or hydrogen cars, one of them is going to get us to cleaner air.
