Honda will not create rear-wheel cars and engines V8

The new president of the company has definitively defined strategy according to which in modelling number Honda and Acura there is no place to the cars equipped with 8-cylinder engines and a back drive.

The classical scheme with a forward arrangement of the engine and a drive on back wheels continues to remain classical, but Honda Motor intends resolutely to change the given trend. The president of company Takanubo Ito who have accepted in past month reins of government at Takeo Fukui, has unequivocally declared it during a designation of new strategy of development Honda Motor. As he said, «has no special sense to try to create that already is offered many motor-car manufacturers throughout last fifty years».

Thus, Ito meant not only the classical scheme as that, but the concrete configuration which was expected from Honda throughout several years, namely a back drive in a combination to the 8-cylinder engine. V8 it is definitively deleted from company plans, at least on the foreseeable future. Instead Honda sees the purpose development of hybrid installations on the basis of 4-cylinder both 6-cylinder V-shaped engines and equipment of the wide list of models by them: not only compact, but also concerning larger and even the full-size. Will accent similar schemes in a combination to a full drive. In other cases the preference will be given front-wheel configurations.

It's necessary to notice, that among the Japanese manufacturers, models of cars with V8 and a back drive offer only Toyota and Nissan.

Cars by Honda — the most reliable in the world

The rating is made in the Great Britain, proceeding from statistical data on 250 models 30 of various marks in total in 50,000 units. The annual report Warranty Direct published by the British insurance company for demonstration and an estimation of risks at insurance, displays two key parametres.

2010 Honda Modulo

The 1st — average probability of breakage of the car within a year, the second — the average sum of the account which owners receive for each case of repair. In research data on cars at the age of 3 — are used 6 years.

According to published data, the highest rating of reliability belongs Japanese Honda. Insurers assert, that the probability of breakage of the car of this mark makes 10,59%. As to average cost of the account for repair here Honda only on 9 place (295,42 pounds sterling), and it is considered the most accessible repair Czech Skoda. Other Japanese car marks have not entered into ten the most accessible at repair cost. But in the basic rating of reliability they have appeared more than at height. After Honda on the second line has settled down Mazda with probability of breakages in 13,03%. With the minimum backlog a three closes Toyota (13,08%), on fourth place Subaru (13,92%). Nissan, Mitsubishi and Lexus have taken places from the sixth on the eighth accordingly.

The latest place in a rating of reliability Warranty Direct of surprises has not brought — here has settled down Land Rover with probability of breakages in 46,74%.

Insurers notice, that the rating does not apply for absolute accuracy as reflects only statistical data. Special attention composers turn that high cost of accounts for repair and service not necessarily speaks about high total expenses on the car. This indicator should be considered only according to a place in reliability rating. Differently, expensive repair of model, recognised reliable, being made seldom enough, with interest pays off in comparison with frequent "injections" in less reliable models.

AmericanMuscle & Friends Raise $9,000+ for Charity

From the beginning the American Muscle Car Show was set to be more than just a show. Company founders, backed by enthusiastic employees, pushed to give something back to the men and women who have sacrificed so much for our freedom. The initial goal was to raise $5,000 to Homes for Our Troops, a charity that buys or builds homes for disabled veterans. After two previous donations, the team at AM decided to recruit its customers, vendors, families and friends to join the cause and give to this noble charity at the show.

With American Muscle pledging to donate 100 percent of all show proceeds, the effort was fueled by the AM Girls selling raffle tickets for some seriously sweet parts donated by many top Mustang performance brands like SCT, Roush, Eibach, dba, Hawk, Pypes Exhaust, BBK, Maximum Motorsports, aFe, MagnaFlow, Motive, Edelbrock, PA Performance, H&R Springs and more. Also adding to that total were t-Shirt and food sales, plus personal contributions from AM employees.

At the end of the day, with all donations counted, American Muscle wrote a check for $8015 to Homes for our Troops. Joining American Muscle in supporting this great cause, the members of the Garden State Region Mustang Club voted unanimously to give a generous donation of $850 to the charity. Another donation of $500 was received from an anonymous American Muscle supplier bringing the total joint donation to $9,365.

Accepting on behalf of the charity were Frank and Karen McKee of Springfield, PA. After receiving the very large check, Mr. McKee expressed sincere appreciation saying he was humbled by the donation. Personally, I think we’re more humbled by our troops.
