One thing you will notice these days is that leather seat covers have been a growing demand and preference for new and old cars. Normally, when you buy a new Honda, leather seats come with it for free. To some however, it is still best to use the traditional fabric seat covers since the issue of cost and some elements surrounding maintenance and comfort of leather seats is observed.
Leather seats absorb heat and make the car interiors a lot hotter if you think about it. Some people don’t mind but if you are the picky customer, chances are you will consider this before having them installed.
Honda continues it’s aggressive campaign by constantly launching new car and SUV models, particularly the CR-V line.
Enter the 2009 Honda CR-V. It sports a more streamlined look for better aerodynamics and less drag (which means less gas consumption). It retains many of the features of it’s highly successful predecessor, and comes with the option for either front wheel or four wheel drive. There are three models available on the market, the LX, EX, and EX-L. The LX class has the least features, for course, while the amenities and features offered in the other models. The EX-L even boasts of a full leather cover for the seats, as well as a navigation system. A CR-V can sit about 5 people comfortably, and is suited to any terrain because of its four wheel drive feature.
The car is the integration of the latest automotive technologies with the inclusion of their own and is promised to be a car to look forward to. With one of their concepts already slated for delivery, the Insight, a hybrid with some of the best technology of LNG power and gas combined the CR-Z sports a better look that is to look forward to indeed. With disk brakes for all wheels and a sportier look to cater to the younger generation, it combines the need for space, looks and of course fuel efficiency in one small and environment-friendly package. The sporty looks is backed up with Honda’s specialty in some of the most powerful and innovative engines combined with the introduction of LNG as alternate power source.
The concept made its first appearance in the 2008 North American International Auto Show, it is a car to look forward to for those who love agile and fast cars. The looks, the ergonomic designs and everything is representative of what Honda has become, one of the world’s premier auto makers with the technology that is solely deserving of a Honda. The Honda CR-Z, the sports car for the environmentally conscious consumer for tomorrow and beyond.
Honda has announced that their full-electric FCX hydrogen vehicle is now on limited release in California since last year. One of the first assembly line made Hydrogen powered cars, it is on the road for customer assessment and testing purposes so they can meet their commitment to fully offer it by 2010. The car is not a hybrid but a full Hydrogen powered electric car that incorporates some of the latest technology in alternative energy. The small footprint of the FCX Clarity makes it stand out being a production grade vehicle, it incorporates all the amenities of a gas powered vehicle. It also incorporates Honda’s proprietary Collision Mitigation Braking System(CMBS) that alerts the driver of potential braking hazards using lights, audible and mechanical alerts (seat belt tugging technology) allowing him to take appropriate action. The safety aspect is also perfect with regards to collision and the fact that the fuel it carries (compressed hydrogen) is highly explosive, with sensors and automatic cut-off valves for fuel and circuit breakers for the electrical power for increased safety.
The car is part of Honda’s approach towards a Hydrogen-Fuel Based society, having been involved in the Home Energy Station project. The system uses natural gas to produce hydrogen to power the home and vehicle thus eliminating the need for power off the grid.
