Beijing 2010: Honda Li Nisn Everus sedan concept

The Beijing Motor Show is well under way, and Honda is showing off a new concept slated for the Chinese market. Called the Li Nian Everus, the car is the fruit of a partnership between the Japanese automaker and its Chinese partner, Guangqi Honda Automobile. We don't have too many details on the sedan other than the fact that at this point, it's nothing more than a concept.

Judging by the renderings, we're tempted to guess this thing has more than a little Civic DNA swimming around in its blood stream, though it looks like Honda raided the Acura design department for the car's less-than-traditional nose and rear-end.

Speaking of the Civic, it would make some sense if Honda swapped a little sheet metal and called it a day. Honda's compact is sold under the Dongfeng Honda banner, leaving Guangqi Honda Automobile without a comparable model. Our guess is that when the Everus comes to market, it will be slightly more upscale and boast more standard niceties than its sibling.

2010 Honda Accord Crosstour hatches a new niche

Its introduction was a case study in how to bungle an automotive social media campaign. Badly. It had people running for thesauruses to find new and fascinating synonyms for "ugly." Its TV campaign has something to do with jazz music and animals. And yet, for all the hubbub, hysterics and lamentations that Honda had completely lost its mind, the 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour quietly showed up and began finding customers.

Last month – its best sales performance to date – 2,587 people drove the odd-looking hatchwagon home. Recently, we took delivery of our own Crosstour EX-L tester, loaded-up with all-wheel drive and navigation, to see how we felt about spending a week with Honda's latest experiment.

More powerful Honda hybrid coupe in the works?

A mainstream hybrid that's fun to drive. That's a novel concept, to be sure, and one targeted by Honda in the marching papers of its recent CR-Z coupe, which is offered with a sporty six-speed manual gearbox and is supposed to be the spiritual successor to the much-loved CRX hatchback from the 1980s.

We've yet to drive the CR-Z and we're already questioning if the 122 horsepower and 128 pound-feet of torque on tap from its 1.5-liter VTEC four-cylinder with Integrated Motor Assist will be enough to qualify the car as sporty.

According to Motor Trend, though, Honda has a much sportier model waiting in the wings that would use either a V6 or a large 2.5 liter four mated up with the familiar IMA hybrid system. Citing rumors from Japan, MT says the future car will be roughly the size of the Accord coupe.

In related news, that aforementioned V6 hybrid powertrain is reportedly slated for both minivans and SUVs for the American market. Further, Honda is currently working on an extended-range electric system similar to the one featured in the 2011 Chevrolet Volt except using a capacitor-based energy storage system. If true, we can expect to see that system featured in a future Accord.

Honda CR-V facelift in Malaysia adds VSA stability control and side airbags

The Honda CR-V facelift is now here in Malaysia, with a new price tag of RM149,980, a premium of slightly over RM2k when you compared it to the outgoing pre-facelift model. However in return for the RM2k the equipment list has had some very important safety additions in my opinion. Here’s what’s new:

VSA stability control has been added to the vehicle.

There are now a total of 4 airbags, up from the previous 2. The additional 2 are the two Occupant Position Detection System side airbags.

New engine hood, fog lamps, upper and lower front bumper, front grille and 17 inch alloy wheel design.

Four reverse sensors instead of two previously.

A new in-car entertainment unit featuring USB input – which is found neatly tucked in the upper glove box.

New fabric design for the seats.

New seat-mounted fold-down arm rest which is wider.

LCD screen in the middle of the meter cluster now has blue backlighting.

Sound insulators enlarged and new seals added in dashboard, hood, inner fender, fender enclosure, rear door lining, rear side lining, cargo lid and wing mirror garnish.

Revised suspension geometry – front caster trail from 20mm to 15mm, rear double wishbone damper settings revised and rear compliance bush shape improved.

Five colours are available – Alabaster Silver, Polish Metal, Crystal Black, Taffeta White and a new colour called Urban Titanium. Look after the jump for a hi-res gallery of the new CR-V facelift.

Honda UK releases Civic Type-R Mugen 200 to celebrate return to BTCC

When Mugen's UK-based tuning arm turned up the wick on the Euro Civic Type-R late last year, the result was a 220-hp, stripped out hatch that was only available to 20 lucky consumers. Riding on the critical success of that limited-edition model, Honda UK will begin offering another Mugen-fettled Civic Type-R this March, but it's decidedly less impressive than its track-worthy predecessor.

Included in the package is a set of front and rear Mugen bumper skirts, lightweight 19-inch wheels, limited slip differential and a Championship White exterior, the last Type-R to receive the storied hue. Unfortunately, no mods have been performed to the engine, exhaust or ECU, so output remains unchanged at 200 horsepower.

Naturally, an assortment of badges and plaques are included on the 200 limited-edition models, which are being released to celebrate Honda's return to the British Touring Car Championship this April. Make the jump for all the details, along with ordering information... assuming you live across the pond.

Chicago 2010: Honda Odyssey Concept

Honda just unveiled a concept version of its next-generation Oddity Odyssey minivan at the 2010 Chicago Auto Show, and it was one of those rare instances where the media was actually seeing it for the first time, as God intended unveilings to be. Although billed as a concept, the 2011 Honda Odyssey Concept looks almost production ready... other than its door handles, lights and a few other details.

While the current third-generation van is the best selling minivan in America two years running, Honda decided not to play it safe with the redesign. The all-new fourth-generation Odyssey is a big departure for Honda. It's lower and wider, taking an almost Mercedes R-Class stance. Although they claim it's only one inch lower and 1.4 inches wider, it looked like a lot more than that. The 2011 Odyssey also features a "lightning bolt" lower greenhouse border that reminded us of the Nissan Quest a bit. Honda says it helps with rearward visibility.

The production version of this 2011 Honda Odyssey should be in dealerships this fall, and will likely look a lot like this concept. While no specifics were mentioned, it is said to have a V6 that will deliver slightly better fuel economy. The interior was completely blocked off so we aren't sure what they have in store for us inside, but Honda reps promised something big. One thing Honda did share was the fact that this Odyssey is all-American. From inspiration to target market, styling to assembly, this is truly a product of the U.S. of A.

Top Luxury Cars - The Honda Element EX

It is a fact that the Honda Element EX gives maximum importance to functionality and less to aesthetics. There is no over-designing but enough of clever functional features, smart low tech solutions to satisfy all requirements. Whether you love it or hate it, the Element with a 3 year/36,000 mile warranty is the outcome when the manufacturers begin to think out of the box and give importance to utility. Its cube shape may not be to everyone's taste, but several buyers are terribly excited about it. Matte-textured composite panels designed to guard each fender and bumper is in direct contrast with the painted surfaces of the doors and hood. The panels are of course scratch-resistant as well as dent-resistant and the user need not be over-concerned when parking in busy areas.

What is conspicuous about the Element is the clever arrangement of doors. The clamshell rear doors are hinged at the back, and can thus open only when the front doors are open. As there is no B-pillar between the doors, the Element is agape when the front and rear doors are opened, offering comfortable access to the back seat. The tailgate is also uniquely hinged, as about three-quarters of it goes up, while the lower quarter folds down. The functional emphasis is logically carried into the cabin features of the Element. Quality materials are used all along in the Element. The dash is a vast flat non-skid expanse. Gauges are perfectly set and readily readable. A useful ledge runs the length of the dash at convenient knee level, with troughs to hold your spare glasses and other detritus. The center stack houses are provided with climate control knobs, radio and more compartments, along with the stubby gear shift lever to aid the five-speed manual transmission. The seats are firm and flat and perfectly comfortable covered with a fabric that feels a lot like neoprene. Tough and gripping rubber mats cover the entire floor of the car. The whole interior wears a sturdy and stunning look that you will feel like spending hours inside. Another feature that needs mention is the headroom clearance is so high that the cabin feels looks like a commodious room.

The Element also provides the required driving comfort as the power delivery is smooth and efficient and its inline four cylinder engine, gives you no trouble when merging onto the freeway. With the five-speed manual transmission, the clutch is light and easy to apply. The truck-like positioning of the shift knob, sprouting from the middle of the center dash console, is friendly to use. The Element is also easy to park and has great visibility in all directions.

It has to be admitted that this is a car for everyday driving, but not cross-country highway trips. Even though the Element is ruggedly built, the manufacturer still needs to take care of certain areas. Even after driving the Element for hardly 5,000, the floor under the gas pedal was showing significant wear and a strong durable set of floor mats would help remedy that. The painted surfaces on the exterior of the Element and the composite surfaces need to be kept clean all the time to avoid discoloration and pitting.
