Honda Accord Crosstour gets 4 cylinder option

2010 Honda Accord Crosstour

In the late 2009, when Honda launched the Accord Crosstour, it was told that the only available powertrain would be a V6. Now VTEC reports that a memo has been sent to the dealerships states that a four-cylinder Crosstour will be available this year.

Though the details about the sedan has not yet released, we can assume that it would have the same 2.4-liter engine currently available in Accord. VTEC also reports that a larger four-cylinder unit is currently in works for the CR-V crossover. We can expect that the four-cylinder engine will only be available on lower-trim Crosstours, likely without an all-wheel drive option.

Honda CRZ - Japan Car of the Year

The 2011 Honda CR-Z may not be selling successfully in U.S., but it has received the Japan Car of the Year title and hence Honda has decided to launch a new special edition version. This edition will only be available in a special "Pearl Dipusafaiaburu" blue paint.

This hatch uses unique 16-inch alloy wheels and premium metal pedal pads. Honda has also decided to take an extra effort of placing a "Japan Car of the Year" sticker on the rear quarter glass behind the driver's side door. Neither fuel economy nor power has been improved but it seems that it will only be available for Japanese.

Upcoming New Cars in 2011 honda element With Specification and prices

Upcoming New Cars in 2011 honda element With Specification and prices also Previews And Pictures

he 2011 Honda Element is mechanically unchanged. Its sole engine remains a 2.4-liter four-cylinder rated at 166 horsepower and 166 pound-feet of torque. Acceleration is adequate at best and labored when you’re haulin’ three buds onto the freeway or up the mountain. Honda clipped what wings Element possessed when it dropped the five-speed manual transmission after model-year 2009. That leaves only a five-speed automatic transmission that saps much of what verve this engine possesses. Towing capacity is a modest 1,500 pounds.

Best HatchbackBest HatchbackBest HatchbackBest Hatchback


The best hatchback in 2009 was given to the 2009 Honda Fit by U.S. News rankings and reviews. It scored very high in all the catagories, it actually outscored the 2nd place car by .8 points which is alot. The only thing it scored bad in was the look of the outside. It looks like a wagon, not like the sporty hatchbacks. One of the good things about it is that it can get up to 33 miles per gallon on the highway which is very nice. The Honda Fit has 20.6 cubic feet of space inside with is alot compared to the other hatchbacks. The Honda Fit's MSRP is right around $16,000 which isn't too bad but it is kinda pricey compared to other hatchbacks with similar characteristics.

Honda Civic sales to stop in Japan

honda civic

According to a report from Japan's Nikkei.com, Honda will stop selling the Civic sedan in its home market as soon as existing inventories run out. As customers shift their focus towards MPVs and more compact vehicles, the popularity of the Civic has dwindled substantially in Japan – only 452 of the trusty Honda sedans were sold in the automaker's domestic market during the month of October.

Honda is still committed to offering the Civic sedan in other markets, such as the United States and Europe, where sales numbers are substantially more robust. In fact, new versions of both the U.S.- and Euro-spec Civics are set to bow sometime next year. Honda will continue to manufacture Civic sedans at its Suzuka plant for export purposes. It's unclear whether Honda will continue to import the European-built Civic Type R Euro hatchback into Japan.

2011 Honda Civic Type R Euro Launched in Japan

2011 Honda Civic Type R Euro

Honda has introduced a new model year version of its British-built Civic Type R Euro in Japan. The 2011MY batch will be the last of this model series to make its way to Japan as production of the current generation three-door Civic Type R has been terminated in Europe because its 2.0-litre VTEC engine does not meet the Euro V emissions regulations.

The Japanese automaker had imported 1,850 examples of the Civic Type R Euro from Britain in late 2009. This time, Honda will bring a total of 1,500 units of the 2011MY version of its high-revving hot hatch. The only changes over the previous model year are the addition of a new Crystal Black Pearl color, some trim updates such as the different finish of the fuel cap and a new numbered plaque.

Honda UK shows 2011 Civic Hatch

2011 Honda Civic UK
Honda has just released details on what buyers in the UK can expect to see from the 2011 Civic. The company has kept the changes to its spacey-looking five-door largely cosmetic, including a new grille up front. The company says that piece borrows cues from the legendary Type R, and if you squint your eyes enough, you can almost see the resemblance. A new range of wheels is also available for next year ranging in size from 16 to 17 inches depending on engine and trim level. There's also a new Ionized Bronze paint color available across the lineup.

Inside, Honda has moved to up the ante ever so slightly. SE and ES trims will now boast seats that are covered in half fabric and half Alcantara, while the Si guise now comes with heated front thrones. Otherwise, the vehicle stays much the way it was for 2010. Under the hood, buyers are still greeted with the familiar 1.4 and 1.8-liter powerplants, and the horsepower figures haven't moved from last year's numbers, either. Hit the jump for the full press release.

2012 Honda Civic Sedan

It would appear that the timing for the 2012 Honda Civic's unveiling has reached the "any day now" point. Car magazine's Middle East outpost caught the latest version of the popular econo-sedan undergoing desert testing, basically devoid of camouflage. If you were waiting with bated breath for an extraordinarily new and different-looking Civic, stop reading. The 2010 car falls solidly into the "extensive refresh" category rather than a full redesign.

As you can see in the spy video, the front and rear fascias are updated; a new grille and bumper appear up front, while out back, all-new taillamps will be the most distinguishing visual element on the 2012 car. The overall profile of the Honda Civic sedan is clearly a carryover, however.
