With only a couple of months left until the Opening Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games, the folks at Mini revealed two very special cars dedicated to one of the best cities in the world, London. MINI Baker Street and MINI Bayswater have unique design elements and exclusive equipment. They are yet another addition to the excellent MINI product range. The carmaker really tries to please its customers by releasing different exclusive models, and they should for there are so many MINIs on the road today that they have become part of everyday life, you know something that you are so used to that you don’t even notice, like the city traffic, the mac support shop on every corner or the local deli.
The green car movement is getting lot faster these days and sports car being no exception from the movement. In this article, I am writing about few green sports cars that are getting a lot of attention:
The Rinspeed sQuba
This electric car is loaded with so many features that it is difficult to classify it into any one category. This car is completely electric and do not use any fuel. This amazing vehicle does great underwater as well and its all-electric manufacturing ensures that it runs perfectly fine even in an oxygen-less environment. This green car only uses bio-degradable lubricants and is completely emission free bringing it to the top in the list of green sports cars.
Honda has gone through a turbulent year so far. Whilst the rest of the automotive industry has been contending with one of the worst economic downturns in half a century, Honda has also been dealing with the fall out from the Japanese earthquake. The BBC reported an 88% plunge in Honda’s 1st quarter profits following the collapse of the Japanese supply chain and subsequent delay in receiving parts to build cars. Honda is not one to raise a white flag.
Just three weeks after the news of the company’s profits being so far down on the previous year Honda have announced the construction of a new £500 factory to be based in New Mexico. As the US is one of Honda’s biggest customers, it makes sense to build a factory in the North American region. Following the strength of the yen against the US dollar a factory that eliminates high shipping costs is a sound investment. So with a new factory on the way and a revised forecast of exceeding last year’s full year profit margins, what’s next for Honda?
The company have been dipping their toes into mobile broadband for quite some time now. As the internet demand has increased to a level no one would ever have thought of, the option of having broadband access in your car makes perfect sense. The Honda Civic has been equipped with the Atlas system available from Azentek. This high tech computer dashboard replaces any existing radio units and is guaranteed to please even the most impatient and irate passengers. An internal WiFi system that boasts two external antennas to help maintain connection whilst on the move is coupled with a Windows operating system and Bluetooth capacity.
So what are the benefits of having mobile broadband when on the move? For a start having access to the web whilst driving has already proven to be useful in simply checking news and traffic updates. Having roaming access can allow drivers to avoid congestion and effectively clear roads. The system is a positive Godsend when you take into account any restless passengers (e.g. Children) you may have on your journey.
There have to be some downsides though right? Well yes and no. It all depends on how you look at things. The main problem with roaming broadband has traditionally been the amount it costs to run. Data charges can munch into your finances, yet some niche ISP companies are realising this and offering customers stronger competitive rates as a result.
The future for Honda looks bright and with the kind of efficiency and determination the company is showing, you can expect them to be a permanent fixture for the future, irrespective of earthquakes.
