To celebrate, Honda has chosen to work, a new special edition version of its small sports car hybrid.

Otherwise, Japan will continue to Car of the Year Edition CR-Z completely stock. Neither fuel or power has been increased in any way. Not surprisingly, it looks as though it will remain a Japanese-only offer. Still, if you like what you see, chances are you can have the Special Edition CR

Honda Civic 2011 GX pictures,Photos and images

While Honda’s smaller Fit is only offered in a hatchback body style, with a single engine available, the larger Honda Civic has one of the most extensive model lineups among small cars. The sole engine in the value DX, volume LX, and upscale EX lines is again a 1.8-liter rated at 140 horsepower and 128 pound-feet of torque. These Civic models come with manual or automatic transmission and have good all-around acceleration. In a change from model-year 2010, the 2011 Civic EX-L sedans now come only with automatic transmission; same goes for the EX sedan and EX-L Coupe models equipped with a navigation system and satellite radio.

The sporty 2011 Civic Si coupe and sedan have a 2.0-liter that returns with 197 horsepower and 139 pound-feet of torque. The 2.0 links exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission, which helps drivers keep the engine in the higher rpm ranges, where it overcomes its paucity of torque to deliver snappy go accompanied by race-car sounds rarely heard at these prices.The Civic Hybrid employs a continuously variable transmission, or CVT. A CVT acts like an automatic transmission but dispenses with set gear ratios in favor of a rheostat-like delivery of power. Honda also offers a near-zero-emissions model to retail customers in California, Utah, and New York. This Civic GX sedan has a 113-horspower 1.8-liter powered exclusively by natural gas.

But other markets demand different types of cars, and today at the Thailand Motor Expo, the company unveiled the Honda Brio prototype, a lightly disguised version of a minicar it will put into production early next year for buyers in emerging markets PRESS RELEASE:

Honda Exhibits World Premiere of Honda BRIO Prototype, Honda's New Small Vehicle Developed for Asian Markets at the 27th Thailand International Motor Expo 2010

Bangkok, Thailand, November 30, 2010 - Honda debuted the world premiere of a prototype of Honda BRIO, the new small-sized vehicle developed for Asian markets and scheduled to be introduced in Thailand and India in 2011, at the 27th Thailand International Motor Expo starting November 30, 2010 (press day: November 30, public days: December 1-12.)

2012 Honda Fit EV Concept Electric

2012 Honda Fit EV Concept Electric 

Today Honda unveiled the all-new Fit EV Concept electric vehicle and the platform for a midsize plug-in hybrid vehicle. Both vehicles are integral to the Honda Electric Mobility Network, the company's comprehensive approach to reducing CO2 emissions through innovative products, energy-management and energy-production technologies.With hybrid models becoming more of a mainstream product for consumers these days, automakers are now turning their attention on the next 'green' frontier, all-electric cars. At the LA Auto Show, Honda lifted the covers off the all-new Fit EV Concept electric subcompact.


 Fit EV Concept "hints strongly" at the direction and styling for the upcoming production Fit EV all-electric vehicle, which will be introduced to the U.S. and Japan in 2012.
Based on the current Fit [Jazz in Europe and other markets], the EV production model will be powered by a lithium-ion battery and coaxial electric motor. The battery can be recharged in less than 12 hours when using a conventional 120-volt outlet, and less than six hours when using a 240-volt outlet.

Honda  Fit EV will have a top speed of 90 mph [145 km/h] and achieve an estimated 100-mile [160km] driving range per charge using the US EPA LA4 city cycle or 70 miles [112 km] when applying EPA's adjustment factor.For more efficient high-speed cruising, the vehicle can engage in a direct-drive mode, in which only the engine drives the front wheels.

Advanced Technology Demonstration Program
Honda will launch an Advanced Technology Demonstration Program this year to provide real-world testing of its new vehicles, as well as research into customer behavior and usability, public charging infrastructure planning and sustainability initiatives. Partners in the program will include Stanford University, City of Torrance, Calif. and Google, Inc.

Honda Electric Mobility Network and Energy Management
Together with the Honda FCX Clarity fuel cell electric vehicle, the Fit EV and the future plug-in hybrid vehicle are a part of the company's comprehensive approach to reducing CO2 emissions. Honda is unique in its efforts to create both environmentally-responsible products and the renewable energy solutions to power them. Honda is currently producing and marketing thin-film solar panels in Japan, and an installation is planned at Honda Performance Development in Southern California in early 2011. Honda is also using innovative ways to produce and distribute energy through sustainable methods, such as using solar power to produce hydrogen fuel from water. Additionally, Honda is developing home energy-management systems that utilize micro-cogeneration technology and solar cell modules to power and heat homes as well as charge electric vehicles. The Honda Electric Mobility Network joins clean vehicle technology, renewable energy production and energy management solutions for the benefit of customers and society.

Honda Environmental Leadership
The Fit EV and a plug-in hybrid sedan will be introduced to the U.S. and Japan in 2012, joining Honda's diverse lineup of environmentally-responsible vehicles, which include the FCX Clarity fuel cell electric vehicle, the Civic GX compressed natural gas-powered sedan (U.S. only) and four distinct gasoline-electric hybrid models: Civic Hybrid; CR-Z sport hybrid; Insight hybrid and Fit Hybrid (Japan and Europe only).

Honda was recently named America's "Greenest Automaker" for the fifth consecutive time by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS). The award is earned by the company with the lowest combined smog-forming and greenhouse-gas emissions (primarily CO2) in its U.S. automobile fleet.

Honda has led the UCS rankings of overall vehicle environmental performance since the first UCS study in 2000, marking a decade of Honda leadership in reduced vehicle emissions. Honda earned the recognition this year with an industry-best score based on model year 2008 data, the latest available for analysis.

2011 honda ridgeline review

The Honda Ridgeline last received a few changes in 2009. The 2011 Honda Ridgeline will see a redesign for 2011. Expect the vehicle to be released in late 2010.

Exterior photos of the new design of the Ridgeline have been seen. The grille design is different, but the vehicle remains a four-door crew cab truck. Two-zone automatic climate control, powered seats, fog lights, leather upholstery, satellite radio, and Bluetooth should be available on upgraded trims. As part of the redesign, trim levels, and features that are included in each model, may see changes. The performance of the "2011 Honda Ridgeline" could change dramatically as a result of its redesign.

the 2011 Honda Ridgeline will retain the styling introduced from the previous year’s edition, which therefore suggests that it can also be categorized as a crossover SUV. It will feature a unibody structure. There is no nocieable change in the exterior features for 2011 Ridgeline . There are four trim levels available to choose from: base model or RT, RTS, leather-upholstered RTL, and the RTL with navigation system.

The Honda Ridgeline has phenomenal safety feature – and it emplys the curtain-side airbags. The air conditioning comes as standard option.

The 2011 Honda Ridgeline carries over unchanged from the 2010 Honda Ridgeline. The 2011 Ridgeline is usefully strong, cleverly versatile, remarkably comfortable, and wincingly ugly.

Should you buy the "2011 Honda Ridgeline" or wait for the 2012 Honda Ridgeline? Buy a 2011 Honda Ridgeline. By contrast, the 2011 Ridgeline continues with the single crew-cab body and 5-foot-long cargo bed it’s had since its model-year 2006 introduction. In reality, Ridgeline’s unibody structure integrates a very rigid boxed frame. The cargo bed is just 5-feet long – among the shortest in pickup land. Ridgeline’s lockable compartment hides a functional 8.5 cubic feet of storage space. Ridgeline’s sedan-like greenhouse and low hood line also defy old-school pickup custom. The high-hat cab pays off with full-size-pickup-caliber front-seat room and with rear-seat accommodations that go far beyond those of any compact pickup and into midsize-SUV territory.

The 2011 Ridgeline returns in four levels of trim: base RT, better-equipped RTS, leather-upholstered RTL, and top-line RTL with navigation. There’s little to differentiate them visually, though the RTS has 17-inch alloy wheels and body-color trim to the RT’s 17-inch steel wheels and dark trim. Like Pilot – but unlike any other pickup -- Ridgeline is essentially a front-wheel-drive vehicle; all other pickups are based on rear-wheel-drive designs. Ridgeline actually comes standard with an all-wheel-drive (AWD) system that normally runs in front-wheel-drive but can redirect power to the rear wheels during acceleration and low-traction conditions.

The 2011 Ridgeline’s 5,000-towing capacity compares favorably with that of any crew-cab V-6 compact pickup. The 2011 Honda Ridgeline returns with a long list of standard and optional features but, per Honda custom, it doesn’t offer individual options. The 2011 Ridgeline RTS adds to the RT alloy wheels; body-color door handles; painted inner grille surfaces; dual-zone automatic climate control; an eight-way power driver’s seat with lumbar support; deep-tint windows; and all-weather floor mats. The Ridgeline RT’s audio system is a six-speaker, 100-watt unit with a single-disc CD player. Other 2011 Ridgeline models have a seven-speaker 160-watt system with subwoofer and six-disc in-dash changer, plus steering wheel audio controls and an auxiliary input jack.

Honda Ridgeline reviews

Honda rehabilitated the Honda Ridgeline with a host of slight improvements that affected its styling and driving demeanor, yielding a somewhat improved truck overall. The "2010 Honda Ridgeline" has a single powertrain combination, which is unusual in the pickup market.

For those consumers who desire a friendlier pickup that can still handle those occasional jobs, there's the Honda Ridgeline. The "Honda Ridgeline" pickup is available in just one four-door body style. Rather than having a separate cab and bed, the Ridgeline's body unites the two. Although it shares some of its running gear with the Honda Pilot, fully 90 percent of the Honda Ridgeline is unique and should not just be considered the pickup version of Honda's SUV.

Comfortable seats, plenty of storage cubbies, sound ergonomics, smooth, quiet performance and a relatively manageable size make the Honda Ridgeline a viable option as the sole family vehicle. If you need the passenger space of an SUV and the utility of a pickup truck, but want nimble carlike handling, the Ridgeline is an excellent choice.

The Honda Ridgeline was introduced for the 2006 model year, available in RTS, RTX, RTS and RTL trim levels.

The 2010 Honda Ridgeline ranks 2 out of 4 Sport Utility Trucks. This ranking is based on our analysis of 61 published reviews and test drives of the Honda Ridgeline, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.

The Honda Ridgeline delivers plenty of truck for most people. Though it isn't as rugged as some competitors, the Honda Ridgeline offers just enough capability for weekend warriors headed to Home Depot. Price is where the Ridgeline takes on many SUTs. Base truck models can undercut the Honda Ridgeline price by several thousand dollars.

If you need more truck in your SUT, check out the Chevy Avalanche. If you're serious about capability and saving money, check out our compact and full-size truck rankings. Honda Ridgeline is unchanged for 2010. If you're interested in the Honda Ridgeline, check out our Honda Deals page, where we've done the research to find you the best price on a new Honda.

Besides, this little two-seat amalgam isn't absolutely all that bad. Really.

What we acquire actuality is an inherently acceptable agent that doesn't accomplish a accomplished lot of sense. It alone has two seats and its EPA ammunition abridgement numbers are underwhelming. A Ford Fiesta, for example, is added functional, beneath big-ticket and gets about the aforementioned accumulated ammunition abridgement – at atomic compared to a manual-equipped CR-Z like our tester.

But don't address off the CR-Z completely. It may be a boxy advertise back looked at from a big account perspective, but on its own, it's a appealing acceptable little whip. Follow the jump to acquisition out why.

Honda CR-Z hybrid

The Honda CR-Z hybrid

The Honda CR-Z hybrid might be the least anticipated gas-electric car heading to the market. Honda says that the CR-Z combines fun, small and efficient in a sporty package. After the first month on the market in Japan, Honda received more than 10,000 orders.

The Honda CR-Z hybrid borrows much of the hybrid system from the Honda Insight—but its engine has 16 valves instead of the Insight's eight. The Honda CR-Z hybrid 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine—compared to the Insight’s 1.3—is also mated to a six-speed manual gearbox—making it the only hybrid on the market available with a manual transmission. The Honda CR-Z hybrid clearly borrows its overall shape from the Honda CRX sports car, a version of the Civic that was produced from 1984 to 1991.

A Sports Car Without Maximum Speed
According to Automotive News, the engineer had to convince executives at American Honda Motor that US drivers would want a sporty-looking hybrid. The Honda CR-Z hybrid hits American shores in mid-2010.

Hybrids are many things. Sporty? No one in their right mind would call hybrids sporty.

Honda delivers much-needed excitement to eco-friendly driving with the CR-Z, an attractive, affordable hybrid that's a genuine hoot to drive. The thing is, the CR-Z doesn't feel like a hybrid. There's no lag when the 10-kilowatt electric motor hands off to the 1.5-liter engine. Econ shifts the equation toward maximum fuel efficiency. (Honda hasn't finalized pricing.)

New 2011 Honda Odyssey

The 2011 Honda Odyssey is fully redesigned with a fresh look inside and out. Improved fuel economy and a second-row bench that accommodates three child safety seats are also part of the 2011 Odyssey redesign.

Should you wait for the "2011 Honda Odyssey" or buy a 2010 Honda Odyssey? If you’ve got an immediate need for an eight-passenger family vehicle, consider a 2010 Odyssey.

The 2011 Honda Odyssey gets an all-new body that tries mightily to inject some spice into the minivan formula. Honda calls these people “hesitaters” and hopes the 2011 Odyssey’s sleek new look makes minivan ownership palatable to them.

Honda designers say minivans look most generic when viewed from the side. Wheelbase remains at 118.1 inches. Returning higher up the line will be the 2011 Honda Odyssey Touring, with the 2011 Honda Odyssey Touring Elite designated the new flagship model.

Honda confirms the "2011 Odyssey LX" will have two second-row bucket seats for seven-passenger capacity. All other 2011 Odyssey models will again seat up to eight, a capacity matched among minivans only by the Sienna. The outgoing Odyssey’s second-row seat accommodated up to two child seats. On the 2011 Odyssey, the second-row’s middle section can slide forward for better access to your kid from the front row.

Is it true that you should generally stay away from purchasing the 1st year of a redesigned model? It seems that the captains chairs on 2011 odyssey can no longer be placed together. Can someone verify this?

Honda is being stingy with details about its "new 2011 Odyssey minivan". Wider, Lower, Longer
Designed and engineered wholly in North America, the 2011 Odyssey is both wider and lower than the outgoing model. The track goes up 1.4 inches while overall height drops 1.6 inches. Honda calls the new Odyssey's look an example of "Lightning Bolt Design." No cleverly hiding that track in the base of the side glass for Honda.

Again, there's no word from Honda about horsepower and torque ratings. Honda has, however, let out preliminary EPA fuel mileage ratings for the 2011 Odyssey of 19 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway.

2010 Honda Accord review and price

2010 Honda Accord

The 2010 Honda Accord Affordable Midsize Cars. The Honda Accord has been one of Car and Driver's 10 Best for 23 straight years. After its 2008 redesign, the Honda Accord was named Motor Week's Best Family Sedan. Reviewers praise the 2010 Honda Accord for its roomy interior (so large that the government classifies the Accord as a large car, though most reviewers treat it as a midsize), strong reliability history and high resale value. The Accord is an outstanding choice for many buyers. But the class of affordable midsize cars is changing.

Be sure to check for current Honda Deals that may be available on a 2010 Honda Accord.

Last redesigned in 2008, the Honda Accord enters 2010 with few significant changes. You’ll need to step up to a more expensive 2010 Honda Accord trim level to get
Among popularly priced midsize cars, the Honda Accord is an unbeatable brew of smart engineering, efficient packaging, and rewarding road manners. Available as a four-door sedan and a two-door coupe, Accord is one of America’s most-popular cars, and we judge the EX sedan with the four-cylinder engine as the top all-around value in the Accord lineup.

Should you buy a 2010 Honda Accord or wait for the 2011 Honda Accord?
The only 2010 Honda Accord styling changes are newly available dress-up items designed by renowned Honda racing-accessory purveyor MUGEN. Available for the Accord sedan, they lend a sporty look to a design introduced for model-year 2008. In both wheelbase and overall body length, Accord is among the largest cars in the midsize class. Sedans come in four basic models labeled LX, LX-P, EX, and EX-L.

Coupes come in three models: LX-S, EX, and EX-L. Visual differentiation is subtle: models with the V-6 engine have dual exhaust outlets, and the LX sedan rides on 16-inch wheels with wheel covers while all other Accord sedans have alloy wheels in 16- or 17-inch diameter. Coupes have 17- or 18-inch alloys. Like every other midsize car, Accord has front-wheel drive, which puts the weight of the engine over the wheels that propel the car. LX and LX-P sedans have a 177-horsepower four-cylinder. The LX-S Coupe and all four-cylinder EX and EX-L models have a more advanced engine with 190 horsepower. EX and EX-L models are available with a 271-horsepower V-6. Four-cylinder Accords use a five-speed manual transmission or a five-speed automatic. Also for 2010, EX sedans and EX-L sedans and coupes gain new rear-seat ventilation ducts for better rear-passenger airflow. In Honda tradition, Accord offers no options packages, instead increasing the level of equipment as you ascend the model line. EX-L models are the only Accords eligible for a navigation system.

The 2010 Honda Accord prices are slightly higher than base prices for most rivals. This reflects Honda’s practice of equipping Accords with standard features for which many others charge extra. The 2010 Honda Accord LX sedan is priced at $21,765 with manual transmission and $22,525 with automatic. The 2010 Honda Accord LX-P sedan is priced at $22,765, or $23,525 with automatic transmission.

The "2010 Honda Accord" EX sedan with the four-cylinder engine is priced at $24,540, or $25,340 with automatic transmission. The 2010 Honda Accord EX sedan with the V-6 engine is priced at $27,515.

The "2010 Honda Accord EX-L sedan price is $26,740 ($27,540 with automatic) and $29,815 with the V-6. The 2010 Honda Accord Coupe prices range from $23,265-$29,590 for four-cylinder models and from $30,015-$32,015 for V-6 versions".
Honda’s engineers will argue that Accord’s five-speed automatic transmissions suit it perfectly. Dashboard and controls: Accord’s dashboard also reflects the engineer’s eye. The 2010 feature changes are welcome but leave Accord vulnerable to aggressive competitors.

Goto Honda Dealer Search and Give your Address or the Zip Code of the location where you reside. With Toyota marred with the recalls that spot seems to have gone to Honda Civic. In a fashion similar to th 2011 Honda Civic,the 2011 Honda Civic, likely to be launched in August or September 2011 will body styles that will be similar to the 2010 Honda Civic.

2011 Honda Civic review

The 2011 Honda Civic should return essentially unchanged from 2010 as Honda prepares to launch an all-new 2012 Honda Civic. This tabs the 2011 Civic as a lame duck navigating the compact-car waters with a design that dates to model-year 2006. The 2011 Civic will repeat sedan and coupe body styles and again be available as a gas-electric hybrid sedan. Slightly larger than the coupe, the Civic sedan is roomier and rides softer. Should you wait for the 2011 Honda Civic or buy a 2010 Honda Civic?

Styling: The 2011 Honda Civic styling should carry over from 2010 with only a few new exterior colors to distinguish the two model years. The Civic four-door is notably roomy, with particularly generous rear-seat room for a compact car. Mechanical: The 2011 Civic powertrain lineup should segue into 2011 intact. Several have six-speed manual and automatic transmissions versus Civic’s less-efficient five-speed units. Optimists hope Honda will mark the end of this Civic design cycle by adding a high-performance model. The 2011 Honda Civic Hybrid will return as a sedan only and combine a 1.3-liter gas engine with an electric motor for a total of 110 horsepower. The Civic Hybrid employs a continuously variable transmission, or CVT. This Civic GX sedan has a 113-horspower 1.8-liter powered exclusively by natural gas.

Features: Honda doesn’t offer stand-alone options, instead grouping features to create individual trim levels. The various 2011 Civic models should continue with the familiar range of features. Antiskid control to stabilize the car in turns is standard on EX-L, Hybrid, and Si models. Alloy wheels, steering-wheel-mounted auxiliary audio controls, rear disc brakes, and remote keyless entry are among available features, depending on model.

When Honda showed the Honda CR-Z concept

When Honda showed the CR-Z concept car at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2007, it appeared alongside some of the wacky Japanese design exercises that the biannual show is known for. The CR-Z doesn't resemble anything else in the Honda (or Acura) lineup. The CR-Z may look even weirder on paper. That original wedge-shaped Insight was rated at 65 miles per gallon in combined city-highway driving (a figure adjusted to 53 mpg after the calculation method was changed in 2008). By comparison, the combined economy rating for the current four-door Insight is 41 mpg. The Ford Fusion Hybrid is rated at 39 and the Toyota Prius at 50. The current, second-generation Insight seats four. (CR-Zs sold on other continents come with a tiny back seat.)

The petrol engine alone makes 113bhp at 6,100rpm and 107lb/ft at 4,800rpm, but total system output from both motors is 124bhp and 128lb/ft between just 1,000-1,500rpm.



How does the Honda CR-Z drive? Eco neuters the engine in the interests of economy, while normal is, well, normal and Sport sharpens the throttle response, primes the hybrid system to assist more and adds weight to the steering.



Honda claims a flaccid 10.2sec to 100kph.

Cockpit visuals aside, the Honda CR-Z shows absolutely no evidence of being a hybrid, but instead feels every bit the ’80s hot hatch. A great exhaust note that promises more than the engine delivers in raw grunt, but the steering, body control and brakes to make the most of it



The new layout ought to improve handling, but it definitely helps the stance; the mad origami styling is original and entirely modern but references Honda’s sharp, ’80s CR-X baby coupe
