HONDA HYBRID CARS

Want to miss a step in the production of hybrid cars Toyota, Honda followed with the type of fit as Honda's first hybrid product. Honda is set to unveil the world’s first subcompact hybrid next month at the Paris Motor Show this September, it could carry the lowest price tag. A hybrid version will go on sale in Japan in October, and is expected in the U.S. in 2011. Honda plans to sell the Fit Hybrid in Japan for about $18,600. That’s approximately $3,500 less than the Honda Insight, currently the cheapest hybrid, and about $4,600 more than the gas-powered Fit. Pricing for the Japanese market does not move in sync with U.S. pricing—but a similar strategy in the U.S. would put the base MSRP around $17,000.

Exact mpg will be released at the Paris Motor Show, which will run from September 30 to October 17, but we anticipate a significant step up from the gas-powered version, which is rated at 28 mpg in the city and 35 on the highway. The Fit Hybrid is likely to become the second most fuel-efficient hybrid, right behind the Toyota Prius (51/48 mpg).

The new Fit/Jazz is updated for 2011—with revised headlights and rear lights, a new front grille, and restyled bumpers and tailgate. Inside, there’s a darker single-color dashboard and blue-lit dials and instruments. The Fit, marketed as the Jazz in Europe, will use Honda’s IMA system— an 87-horsepower 1.3-liter engine combined with a CVT gearbox—currently found in Honda's Insight and CR-Z hybrids. The new hybrid is also available with leather trim, the first time this has been available on a Jazz model in Europe. With so many low-volume luxury hybrids hitting the market in recent years, the introduction of a small affordable high-mpg gas-electric model from Honda is a welcome addition to the hybrid market.

Hybrid Car Histories

Modern HEVs make use of efficiency-improving technologies such as regenerative braking, which converts the vehicle's kinetic energy into battery-replenishing electric energy, rather than wasting it as heat energy as conventional brakes do.A Hybrid Electric (HEV) is a type of hybrid vehicle and electric vehicle which combines a conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) propulsion system with an electric propulsion system. The presence of the electric powertrain is intended to achieve either better fuel economy than a conventional vehicle, or better performance. Modern HEVs make use of efficiency-improving technologies such as regenerative braking, which converts the vehicle's kinetic energy into battery-replenishing electric energy, rather than wasting it as heat energy as conventional brakes do. Some varieties of HEVs use their internal combustion engine to generate electricity by spinning an electrical generator (this combination is known as a motor-generator), to either recharge their batteries or to directly power the electric drive motors. A variety of types of HEV exist, and the degree to which they function as EVs varies as well. The most common form of HEV is the hybrid electric car, although hybrid electric trucks (pickups and tractors) and buses also exist.Many HEVs reduce idle emissions by shutting down the ICE at idle and restarting it when needed; this is known as a start-stop system. A hybrid-electric produces less emissions from its ICE than a comparably-sized gasoline car, as an HEV's gasoline engine is usually smaller than a pure fossil-fuel vehicle, and if not used to directly drive the car, can be geared to run at maximum efficiency, further improving fuel economy.Ferdinand Porsche in 1900 developed the Lohner-Porsche Mixte Hybrid, the first gasoline-electric hybrid automobile in the world. The hybrid-electric vehicle did not become widely available until the release of the Toyota Prius in Japan in 1997, followed by the Honda Insight in 1999. While initially perceived as unnecessary due to the low cost of gasoline, worldwide increases in the price of petroleum caused many automakers to release hybrids in the late 2000s; they are now perceived as a core segment of the automotive market of the future. Worldwide sales of hybrid vehicles produced by Toyota, the market leader, reached 1.0 million vehicles by May 31, 2007; the 2.0 million mark was reached by August 31, 2009; and 2.68 million units by July 2010, with hybrids sold in 80 countries and regions. Worldwide sales are led by the Prius, with cumulative sales of 1.8 million by June 2010. The global market leader is the United States with 1.6 million hybrids registered by December 2009, of which 814,173 are Toyota Prius,] and California is the biggest American market.

New Car BMW 5 Series

New Car BMW 5 Series 2011

The BMW 5 Series is all-new for 2011. Virtually no hardware was carried over directly to the 2011 BMW 5 Series from the previous models. The all-new 2011 5 Series lineup includes the BMW 528i and BMW 535i with six-cylinder engines, and the BMW 550i with a V8.

There are further good tidings. The broad line of new 2011 BMWs, far from looking frumpy, has regained the aggressive, exciting enthusiasm that had been the company's trademark since long before these difficulties began. From 7 Series to 5 Series to 3 Series, 2011 models are back to the reliable old BMW formula: Same sausage, in three different lengths. But oh, what sausage!

In comparison with the previous 5 sedan, the 2011 version is two inches longer, with a three-inch longer wheelbase. That translates to one inch less frontal overhang than in any previous 5. This will certainly be helpful in tight parking situations, but far more than that, it give the 5 its stunning visual impact. With its forward-lunging shapes, muscular flanks, and low, road-hugging front end, the 5's appearance accurately communicates its racerly velocity and apex-strafing agility.

Said agility is aided and abetted by the new 5's near-perfect 49/51 front/rear weight distribution. This package delivers levels of handling that have inherent stability, with no sudden surprises. Very, very BMW.

New Car Ford Fusion Hybrid 2010

New Car Ford Fusion Hybrid 2010

The 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid was named North American Car of the Year for 2010 by a jury of 49 independent automotive writers and reviewers from the United States and Canada. The Fusion Hybrid topped a field of 27 all-new cars to win the coveted award in its 17th year.

"The New Car Fusion Hybrid offers a remarkable combination of hybrid technology and fun to drive performance and handling," said Tom Lankard, a NewCarTestDrive.com correspondent one of the 49 jurors who voted for the award.

"It's easy to drive and feels like a regular car," said Mitch McCullough, New Car Test Drive editor in chief. "Your passengers may never notice unless you tell them."

Combining an electric motor with a gasoline engine, the Fusion Hybrid returns an EPA estimated 41/36 mpg City/Highway. That beats other midsize hybrids, including the New Car Toyota Camry Hybrid (33/34 mpg) and New Car Nissan Altima Hybrid (35/33 mpg). The only midsize car that beats Fusion fuel economy ratings is the New Car Toyota Prius (51/48 mpg), and it isn't a traditional midsize sedan.

"Though not the first New Car hybrid on the market, or even the second or third, the Fusion Hybrid is simply the best one ever built," said juror Csaba Csere, former editor of Car and Driver magazine. "In addition to delivering terrific mileage, it looks and drives like a regular car, and a very good one indeed.

"A lot of automotive awards are given out each year," McCullough said. "But the North American Car of the Year award is different. Rather than coming from a single media organization, it's decided by 49 independent automotive journalists, eliminating any chance of collusion or outside influence. "These journalists represent the best from print, radio, television, and the internet." Among the media represented: Car and Driver, Road & Track, USA Today, Chicago Sun Times, Detroit News, Chicago Tribune, Fortune magazine, AutoWeek magazine, Edmunds.com, and NewCarTestDrive.com

Nissan GT-R Hybrid Coming Out?

Nissan GT-R Hybrid Coming Out?

Answering the needs and demands of world markets will be automotive needs, Nissan's answer to the newest product release. Here's coverage.

With the new government mandated Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards come into force in 2011, New car makers are desperately looking for ways to improve mpg on the Formation of their models.

Several options have been proposed, including hybrids, all-electric and gasoline-electric powertrain even a clean diesel. The easiest solution, from the standpoint of technique, will go with a hybrid setup. Because the New car GT-R is currently utilizing the rear transaxle, will be quite easy to mateit to the electric motor to maintain the ability of all-wheel drive car intact. While some purists may consider this a mechanical neutering their favorite sports cars, hybrids may be the only way the New car GT-R can survive in the future more environmentally conscious.

The New cars that may need to make the greatest gains in fuel economy is the performance sports cars like the New car Nissan GT-R high. While the GT-R represents only a fraction of the total sales of Nissan vehicles, combined with a rating of 17 mpg CAFE will significantly impact the company.

Much like the Chevy Corvette is planning the next generation, Nissan is considering an alternative powertrain for the next-gen GT-R

Since all-electric Nissan Leaf is for hitting dealer showrooms later this year, the New car GT-R has some time before then to draw their own weight to meet CAFE standards. That means that we get to drool over the 485-horsepower all-wheel-drive New car GT-R animals at this time to a little longer. This also means that New car Nissan has a lot of time to develop a drivetrain worthy of the next New car GT-R

PUBLIC OPINION

"If it has near Prius MPGs and saves $5000-6000 at time of purchase, Honda could have a good hybrid for the first time in a long while. I wish them luck, but based on past performance I do not expect all that much".
-charles-

"I don't care if it would get 5,000 mpg; I still! don't like it. Why is it so difficult for these people to build an attractive looking car these days. Are all of these manufacturers using the same artistically tasteless design engineer?"
-jamesdavis-

"This is my very first time i visit right here. I discovered so many interesting stuff in your blog especially its discussion. From the tons of comments on your content articles, I guess I’m not the only one having all the enjoyment here! maintain up the good work".
-thegreenauto-

"good development by Honda..."
-Socks-

"the hybrid fit should get and EPA rating of about 40 to 45 mpg. For hybrid instrumentation I would want an ICE RPM, an Electric Motor RPM, a Battery Charge Rate, a Traction battery State of Charge, and instantaneous MPG gauge. If hybrid fit had two 120VAC outlet rated at 20A each. it could also double as an outdoor generator!"

Media declaring the death of hybrid cars? who's believe...

 Declare death of hybrid cars

Media is declaring the death of hybrid cars. It made for catchy headlines this week, like the Wall Street Journal’s “Hybrids Are Running Out of Gas,” and USA Today’s “As Sales Fall, Is the Hybrid Car Fad Over?” But it simply ain’t true. Global automakers are now preparing for their biggest push ever into gas-electric vehicles.

In Facts ???
It’s true that this year’s hybrid sales are down by about 5% compared to last year. But a closer examination of the trends shows that hybrids got a big boost last year with the Cash for Clunkers program. In addition, the drop in hybrid sales is focused on specific models, like the Honda Civic Hybrid, which is down 72% for the year. Meanwhile, the Toyota Prius is up by 7%; the Honda Insight is up by 2%; The Lexus RX450h SUV is up more than 17%; and the Ford Fusion Hybrid is up 45%.

public comment about hybrid cars etios

public comment about hybrid cars etios

Just how big is the "hybrid premium?" It differs for every vehicle and hopefully it will soon be a thing of the past. However, asking even upper-middle class consumers in India to pay $5,000 extra for a hybrid is just not realistic. In the United States it's a very different story, but the economic benefits of driving a hybrid still vary a lot from model to model.
As for "the adolescent fixation with being cool," I think you may underestimate just how much that plays into the equation for a lot of hybrid drivers as well—they and their friends just have a different standard for cool than people who drive Escalades. In the long run, I think decreasing the amount of oil that we use will come more from society accepting fuel efficient cars as the "new cool" than from altering deep-seeded sociological values. (Not that we have time to sit around and wait until that happens on its own, but I don't think that cool is going away anytime soon.)

Toyota's small hybrid cars

Toyota's small hybrid cars

In developing car markets like China and India, the short-term strategy for carmakers seems to be "small, cheap and fuel-efficient." Fully electric powertrains are expected to catch on eventually, but where the intermediary step for the United States is expected be hybrids—and turbocharged diesels in Europe—small, 4-cylinder engines that deliver high MPGs at a low cost are the name of the game in most of Asia.
Prius was never expected to be major seller in India—just 80 vehicles sold in three months—a dedicated hybrid version of the Etios small car marketed specifically for that market, is apparently on the horizon. While production numbers are yet to be announced, the fact that Toyota is premiering a new hybrid in India suggests that the carmaker is confident in its sales potential. Toyota is yet to announce whether the car will be available in other markets.

It's for this reason that the Toyota Prius, which in America and Japan has been one of the most influential vehicles on the market for the better part of a decade, only came to India last year. When it did, it was priced and marketed more as a high-priced luxury car than an everyday vehicle for the country's emerging middle class

The best way to find cheap auto insurance is to shop around online, but you have to know what to look for. That is what we are going to look at in this article. Many times you will find that once you understand the basics of online auto insurance, that you can save money while even improving your coverage.

So what kind of auto insurance should you get for your car? That depends on several things. Basically there are two general types of auto insurance: Liability Only Insurance and Full Coverage Insurance. Between the two there are many different combinations and you can often tailor your insurance package to suit your needs, but you must understand the difference to take advantage of the offers.

Let us look at the first type of car insurance:

Liability Only Car Insurance

Car insurance is regulated at the state level, which means that each state has different laws and guidelines concerning what kind of insurance you need to be road legal. All states however have the same minimum requirement: You need to have Third Party Liability Insurance. Where they are different is in how much liability coverage you need. Liability insurance is the part of your insurance that covers damage or injury that you may end up causing to other people or their belongings. Most often this will be damage to another persons car. You must have insurance by law that covers his or hers cost. You can not drive any kind of vehicle on the roads without liability insurance.

There are different rules regarding how much liability coverage you need. One state may require you have 25,000 dollars as a minimum while another will only require 15,000 dollars. To find out how much you need, contact your local traffic authority or ask your insurance broker.

One thing you should keep in mind anyway, is that these auto insurance legal minimums or just that: Legal Minimums. Accidents are expensive and can easily run into more than the minimum required. It doesn't do much good to have liability insurance for 25,000$ if you commit damage for 100,000$ Then you would still owe 75,000$, which isn't something most of us have lying around. Of course you will have to compromise as a higher coverage limit means a higher premium as well.

Full Coverage Car Insurance

This is a full-coverage comprehensive insurance policy that is the total opposite of the bare-bones liability insurance. A comprehensive auto insurance policy includes three areas: Third Party Liability Insurance, Collision Insurance and Comprehensive Insurance.

Third Party Liability is the same as we have already discussed. Limits can be negotiated in both directions.

Collision Coverage is an add-on that you can get to protect your car against collisions. You will probably be required to get this type of insurance if you are financing your car trough a credit agency or bank car.

Comprehensive Insurance is also know as Other Than Collision Insurance (OTC). It will cover you against any damage done to your car that isn't caused by a collision. The most common examples would be fire, theft, vandalism and weather damage. Even if the name implies it doesn't cover collisions, you will be covered for collisions with non-vehicles, such as if an animal runs on to the road and you hit it.

How To Save On Premiums

There seems to be a lot of confusion about how auto insurance premiums are calculated. Some people and demographics seem to be stuck with ridiculously high premiums. Insurance companies use formulas to calculate the average risk for a person that fits your profile. Factors included is your gender, age and marital status. Experienced drivers pay less, new drivers more. Men pay more than women and singles more than marrieds. Fair or not, this usually means that young men pay very high premiums if they are even able to get insurance.

If you are in one of these categories what can you do to lessen the impact of your auto insurance premium? You can make sure to drive safely for the first years so you may qualify for less of a premium. Likewise, some cars have lower risks than others, so look into safety records. Lastly there is always the possibility of letting someone older or more experienced to sign the insurance if you can convince them.

Auto Insurance - Utilizing Online Discounts

With oil currently at $119.00 a barrel, consumers are not only trying to meet the cost of auto insurance, but are feeling the pinch at the gas pumps. Thus, thoughtful consideration is not only being given to the type of car one buys; but the many discounts offered through well-known insurance companies.

While the economy is in recession, it has become difficult for consumers who own SUVs and other types of autos to manage not only the high cost of food prices, but gas as well. There are many auto insurance discounts that can alleviate some of the costs consumers incur. Let's take a look at some of ways in which automobile owners can reduce auto insurance.

One of the most popular auto insurance discounts offered is a defensive driving class. This can reduce auto insurance by 5% or more, depending upon the state in which you live. Another way to lower auto insurance is to ensure that if you buy or lease a new car, that it comes with air bags, an anti-lock brake system, and an anti-theft system. In addition, since most new models have the daytime running lights, this too can afford you a lower insurance rate depending on the coverage.

According to current estimates, there has been a 38% increase in Hybrid cars sold. Check the auto insurance companies in your state to determine what discount, if any, would be applied to lower your auto insurance.

Other well-known auto insurance companies are offering a substantial discount for drivers who have not had an accident over a five year period. Again, check with your insurance company to ascertain if they offer this feature.

In addition, there are discounts for students who go to school full time, and the discount could range up to 15%. You may also wish to inquire the rules and regulations to determine if your son or daughter qualifies.

You can research many of the well-known auto insurance companies online in order to compare and contrast their rates and discounts as well. Once you have found one that meets all your needs, give them a call and set up a meeting so that you can discuss their coverage one on one.

Perhaps you already have coverage and seek to reduce the rates you are currently paying. It seems that now would be a good time to begin reducing the amount of debt while still maintaining full coverage for your vehicle. Considering how much you are probably paying to drive to and from work, it seems appropriate to either change auto insurance companies or at least find new ways in which you can alleviate the burden of paying high insurance rates.
