2010 The new Honda Accord Coupe, beautiful coupe

Honda's new Accord comes to market with newer styling that takes things to another level. Honda's previous generation of coupe was a great selling car, sporty yet knew when to keep it conservative. I previously tootled around in the sedan version and was further impressed with its creative construction, a crucial take no prisoners mission. To further add to an impressive sedan, the new Accord coupe would have to take a couple extra measures to win me over. And I tell you, it doesn't disappoint. I give you the lowdown on this under the radar ride
I was fortunate to review an EX model with all the cake and cookies, it was the one trim I was gunning for. If I were to describe the exterior, it would be one of sleek, over the top, and trend setting, of course all in a good way. I just could not help but put the new Infiniti G37 and BMW 3 series coupe in the discussion. For up to $10k less, one could have a stunningly beautiful coupe in the Accord, and perform fantastically with some of the best. But don't get me wrong, the Infiniti and BMW are built and designed at the top of their class. Moreover, I would not feel bad about taking the Accord coupe over the higher priced guys. The body and windshield are more raked, the front end is more stealthier than it's sedan sibling. All in all, it was more sports car than the regular Joe Schmoe passenger car, which the last generation clearly was.

Boy is this car quick, the V6 powertrain is phenomenal and quick to respond to all of my pedal intervention. One important thing is that the car did not feel as heavy as the sedan, and this made drivability and stability out on the roadways more taught and interactive. I wasn't worried about having to accelerate further on the turns, the car handles like a dream. Interior quality is above par yet again, and has no significant issues. Everything was easy to reach and the seating is comfortable if not more supportive, it all fits into the sports coupe niche. The only negative would have to be getting into the back seat, while seating comfort is not the main attraction for any coupe, it did fit a little bit tighter than I liked it to.

Honda CBR250R

So what’s on offer with this performance bike? Honda CBR250R is powered by a newly-developed liquid-cooled 250cc 4-stroke, 4-valve, single-cylinder DOHC engine that is fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system (PGM-FI). We expect power of above 30 bhp and torque above 18 Nm from this Honda engine.

The CBR250R looks every bit superbike inspired. The CBR250R bears a full-cowl body that boasts a highly advanced design, yet highly functional. Inspired from the VFR1200F, the headlamp fairing of the CBR250R has killer looks.

Initially, we had assumed that the upcoming 250 cc motorcycle from Honda would be the VTR250 – not so.

Super Racing cars Honda NSX

For the last two years, Honda has been using the same chassis for NSX and other supercars and thus the Honda HSV-010 has similar chassis underneath the glorious looking carbon fiber. The chassis is sufficient as it is capable of supporting the weight of 1100 kg, giving power to a weight ratio of roughly 336bhp/ton. It is known that majority of the GT500 models have the intake limited to a size to distribute the pressure. From a brief comparison, the 2009 320bhp Subaru Impreza STI marks a weight ratio of approximately 237bhp/ton.

During the kick off of the opening round at the Suzuka track, the Honda supercar will demonstrates its primary virgin race to prove if it is worth the replacement for Honda NSX. While intending to be a successor to its predecessor, other supercars like Lexus and Nissan have been consistently strong hence it would not be an easy fight. It is the hope of all for Honda to strike a success in order for more enhanced production of supercars.

2010 Honda CRV Bold and Better SUV

Honda CRV is consisting of comfort and spacious interiors, and the exteriors of the car are also quite impressive. Its fashionable looks and aerodynamic design makes people mesmerized. It is the blend of rugged lower body and sporty upper body styling. It's some features like projected headlights, clear lens fog lamps, and double front grille is like cheery on the cake. CRV gives the completely comfortable drive and definitely the owner will love to ride on this car.

Honda still doesn't offer a V-6 engine for some reason which leaves it severely lacking in the power department. Competitors like the RAV-4 and Ford Escape both offer a V-6 option. The 4 cylinder engine available has been improved by 10 horsepower but there should be a little more available. The 2.4 liter engine comes with a five speed automatic transmission that is adequate but won't provide absolute control in high speed highway situations. It is a very comfortable ride by all means and the road noise reduction technology implemented make it ideal for long drives that require passengers to stretch out their legs.

new interpretation of the current 2012 Honda Civic

The 2012 Civic embraces the company's vision as a "Civic for all people," a phrase originally expressed in defining the goal of the first-generation Civic. With the widest array of engine choices available in its class, the 2012 Civic lineup intends to meet the needs of an increasing group of compact-vehicle buyers with a renewed vision of a "Civic for all people." The diverse vehicle range includes a sedan and a coupe with conventional gasoline models, two sporty "Si" performance versions, along with one hybrid and a natural gas alternative-fuel variant. Collectively the depth of the Civic line offers a compelling balance between fuel economy, low emissions and fun-to-drive performance unlike any other vehicle in the industry.

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdZz882GBX5uNwKMvjlxJbsc179nofK1roH0i7KDcu5gyZZbDNZ1wr-N3RsZAwvDPyyDZHwaYlvqsWVTF7aNWZ5o5RCiBBVYclulMoQqTwRqabMMKjkmcCToZKSuwlZhn_u4weIu4Woys/s1600/HONDA_Civic_Concept_2011_7.jpg
As a new interpretation of the current Civic's iconic "one-motion" mono-form shape, the upcoming, ninth-generation Civic conveys a more substantial, high-energy appearance. The exterior styling of both Honda Civic concept models showcases the sedan's and coupe's clean-yet-powerful lines with steeply raked windshields, wide stances and pronounced character lines along the profile. The lower character line on both models broadens toward the rear fenders to enhance the dynamic feeling of forward energy. The front fender surface treatments form a complex, three-dimensional look to further enhance the image of sophistication and structural depth against the deeply set headlights.

Geneva Debut: 2011 Honda Accord Facelift


Honda has announced plans to introduce the facelifted 2011 Accord (Euro-spec) at the Geneva Motor Show.

The refined 148 bhp 2.2 litre i-DTEC diesel engine offers improved fuel economy and emissions, coupled either to a 6-speed manual or automatic transmission. Other changes that improve CO2 emissions and fuel economy include a host of underbody aerodynamic aids, including a larger front air dam, underfloor and a rear subframe cover.

Inside there have been a few titivates going on, with dark silver panels and shiny silver grips for the handles and handbrake. New seat materials and linings appear on the ES, and both ES and EX get pretty blue footwell lights.

The 2011 Honda Accord is scheduled to start arriving at European dealerships in April.

Press Release

The New Honda Accord Debuts at Geneva

The revised Honda Accord sedan and Tourer models will make their debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March. Both cars receive a host of changes with the styling, emissions, ride and handling all enhanced for 2011.

Summary of Changes:

  • Revised exterior styling
  • Detail changes to interior finishes
  • Improvements to emissions and economy on all engines
  • 138 g/km 2.2 i-DTEC introduced
  • Ride and handling improvements for all models
  • Auto High-Beam Support System and Active Cornering Lights debut on Accord
  • 180 PS Type S model now available across Europe with bespoke interior and exterior styling


Exterior Design
Both the sedan and Tourer have benefitted from small but noticeable changes to the head lights and bumpers to complement the changes under the skin. The head lights have been given a cleaner, crisper appearance with the previously amber indicators now in a clear finish. On top grade cars the lights are now bi-xenon and feature Active Cornering Lights to improve night time visibility. The grille has been subtly remodelled with the two central spars finished in the same chrome material as the outer grille, for a sportier look. The cooling duct and fog light recesses on all models have been re-profiled with the taper of these areas given a more aggressive line, giving the car a more planted appearance.

The rear of the sedan model has been subtly enhanced with the rear lights having a light red finish for the reversing light and indicators to match that of the fog light, giving a balance to the rear styling. The exclusive styling of the sedan is rounded off with a light chrome garnish above the rear licence plate on most models and a dark chrome finish on Type S grade cars. The new exterior design cues are finished off with three new colours consisting of Alabaster Silver, Graphite Lustre and Celestial Blue Pearl added to the line up.

Interior Design
The exterior styling changes have been complemented by a number of subtle changes to the interior with most grades having new seat materials and door linings, changing the ambience of the cabin. Type S models have exclusive half leather, seats in a dark grey finish and a black head lining to further distinguish the top grade. The metal-look finish interior trim that covers the hand brake, gear lever surround, steering wheel garnish, door inlays, with a red background and sweeps up across the centre of the dash is now in a darker hue, to complement the new interior fabrics. The footwells of the majority of models are now illuminated blue if the headlights are on and red on Type S models.

Fuel Economy and Emission Improvements
The refined 2.2 litre 150 PS i-DTEC diesel engine has had internal frictional losses reduced to improve fuel economy and emissions. The result of these changes is an 9 g/km drop in CO2 emissions for the sedan with the 6-speed manual transmission and an 11 g/km reduction for the automatic variant. These internal changes have been combined with a host of underbody aerodynamic aids, including a larger front air dam, underfloor and a rear subframe cover Honda's engineers have also put effort into reducing the frictional losses in the wheels and tyres with low friction wheel bearings and reduced rolling resistance tyres. Accords equipped with Automatic transmission have also benefitted from minimised frictional losses in the gearbox and optimised ratios to improve economy and emissions.

Quieter Cabin
The already impressive NVH performance of the current Accord has been further improved with the adoption of higher density foam in the under bonnet and dashboard areas. The underfloor noise insulation has also been revised and teamed with additional sound deadening shields on the DPF and exhaust manifold cover of the diesel engine. The suite of noise reductions techniques is completed with a small 0.9 mm increase in the thickness of the rear window glass, improving the rear passenger experience.

Chassis
Engineers from Japan worked with their counterparts in Germany and the UK to further refine the dampers of the Accord Tourer and sedan for the vast range of road conditions found in Europe. Detailed refinement of the dual mode dampers has given improvement in both high speed stability for highway driving and a significant improvement in ride quality, even over poor road surfaces.

Active Cornering Lights
One of the most visible changes to the top of the range Accords is the addition of Active Cornering Lights, which provide enhanced illumination when the vehicle is turning. Additional lights units have been subtly integrated into the existing lights units, casting all of their light to the side of the vehicle to help the driver in low visibility conditions. The light unit on the relevant side will be illuminated when the driver activates the indicators in that direction or turns the steering wheel more than 90 degrees. When the vehicle is in reverse, both lights will be activated to give a good view to either side of the driver.

High-Beam Support System
Another new lighting technology for Honda is the High Beam Support system, which is fitted on vehicles with the bi-xenon headlights. This system is controlled by a CMOS camera fitted to the windscreen in the area of the driver rear view mirror. The camera detects oncoming headlights or the taillights of a vehicle in front and automatically dips the headlights onto their normal setting if they are on high-beam. This allows the driver to fully concentrate on the road conditions, without having to manually control the high-beam setting.

The new Accord goes on sale across Europe from April this year.
