Honda Small Hybrid Sports Concept
Honda Small Hybrid Sports Concept, a design study model, demonstrates a unique fusion of advanced environmental technology, futuristic styling and fun-to-drive characteristics.
Conceived around a front-wheel drive, small car platform and the hybrid is powered by a Honda IMA 4-cylinder petrol/electric hybrid system driving through a CVT transmission. It explores the idea that a car can have a low environmental impact yet still deliver all the driving enjoyment expected of a compact sports car.
Aerodynamically efficient and curvaceous, the two-door sports coupe have short front and rear overhangs. Fluid lines are created by a steeply raked windscreen which extends back above the occupants' heads where it meets a one piece glass roof. This in turn flows rearwards to give the car its fastback styling, terminating in a distinctive and futuristic 3D floating glass design – a concave element which forms an additional vertical window.
The Hybrid Sports Concept is equipped with 165/60 section tyres mounted on 20inch distinctive alloys. Such wheel dimension supports low rolling resistance without compromising sporty driving. With a sports suspension holding up a 2350mm wheelbase, this Honda concept delivers stable and predictable handling characteristics.
Rear-facing digital cameras take the place of conventional door mirrors. The Small Hybrid Sports Concept has been developed as a design study model by the design studio at Honda R&D Europe based in Offenbach, Germany.

\'59 Ford Galaxie
It\'s actually an HDR night shot with long exposure times. It was a bit hard to take it since there was some traffic on the street and many photos were ruined because they were driving by.

Honda Civic
Artículo Patrocinado
Honda presenta el nuevo Civic y lo hace con este magnífico anuncio y con un site dedicado al nuevo modelo. La dirección es http://www.nuevohondacivic.com/
La web está bien diseñada y ofrece información sobre el coche, sus versiones, su tecnología, descarga de fondos, salvapantallas... Está hecha con Flash, lo que nos permitirá por ejemplo ver el interior del coche con detalle, así como tener información completa sobre cada uno de los puntos. Por supuesto, podremos ver las especificaciones y prestaciones del coche, que deben acompañar al diseño. Un coche con este diseño debe llevar dentro un motor que le de vidilla, porque de lo contrario nos quedaremos a medias.
El diseño del Honda Civic sigue siendo, desde mi punto de vista, lo más destacado, y es que el frontal es muy agresivo y deportivo. Las ópticas de serie no necesitan ningún retoque para parecer atractivas y detalles como el intermitente triangular en los espejos son elementos muy atractivos.
Por cierto, se puede pedir una prueba de conducción directamente desde la web y subscribirse a un newsletter que nos permitirá estar al día de las novedades.
Los modelos typeR y typeS merecen mención aparte. Estos modelos de tres puertas tienen una imagen aún más cuidada y deportiva y con la apariencia de serie es suficiente para tener un coche que haga parase y mirar dos veces a los viandantes. La verdad es que es un modelo que no necesita añadidos, quizás algún trabajo con la pintura y poco más, porque hasta el interior es muy bonito.

W204 C-Class Preview at Cycle & Carriage Bintang, Kuala Lumpur
By Dr Long
A W204 C200K Elegance was previewed at Cycle & Carriage Bintang (CCB) showroom in Ampang (Tun Razak/U-Thant), Kuala Lumpur today. I must admit the new C-Class looked very stately and elegant in the metal. It is spacious up front, much better than the W203. Quality is back where it should be and up to the good-old 3-pointed star standards, with stitched leathers even on the door trim. Rear legroom is adequate with comfy seating and ergonomics.
Prices are still unfinalised (pending final approval by the authorities) but CCB' order books are running into the hundreds now. Some are expecting the Elegance-spec C200K to be slightly below RM260k, with C200K Avantgarde (possibly RM10k extra) deliveries likely only in 2008. Mercedes fans can look forward to the C230 2.5 V6 Avantgarde only sometime Q2 next year.

The preview dates for the new 'C-for yourself' showcase at CCB are:
-Sept 25 – CCB U Thant/Tun Razak Branch at 7 pm
