Camisas Molhadas
Da mesma maneira como as camisas secas, também as do tipo molhado necessitam de cuidados especiais quando de sua instalação no motor.
Os principais ponto as serem observados durante a montagem dessas camisas são as seguintes:
1 – verifique cuidadosamente o rebaixo no bloco quanto a deformações, desgastes ou impurezas, para que o flange da camisa possa se apoiar uniformemente em toda sua circunferência. Com isso, evita-se a quebra do flange, a deformação da camisa e consegue-se uma boa vedação entre a camisa e o bloco.
O flange pode quebrar devido a deformações no rebaixo do bloco
2 – Verifique criteriosamente os canais de alojamento dos anéis de vedação e retire eventuais rebarbas ou impurezas ali existentes par evitar posteriores vazamentos de água ou óleo.
3 – instale as camisas provisoriamente no bloco (sem os anéis de vedação) e meça a altura do flange com relação ao bloco. Essa verificação é importante, pois, se essa altura estiver fora das recomendações do fabricante ou variar muito de um cilindro para outro, fará com que a pressão exercida sobre os flanges não seja a mesma em todas as camisas, provocando deformações nas que estiverem mais altas e vazamentos pela junta do cabeçote na região das que estiverem mais baixas.
Nestas ilustração vê-se que a camisa da direita está bem mais baixa que a da esquerda, podendo provocar vazamentos pela junta.
4 - Em seguida, tendo-se já retirado as camisas do bloco, instale os anéis de vedação, lubrificando-os previamente com vaselina e tomando cuidado para que fiquem instalados da forma mais completa possível, para que não se desloquem, cortem-se ou torçam-se quando da instalação definitiva das camisas.
5 – Instale as camisas no bloco utilizando um dispositivo apropriado para empurrá-las para baixo, evitando batidas com martelo que poderão deformá-las.
6 – Certifique-se de que as camisas foram instadas de maneira correta medindo seu diâmetro interno com um relógio comparador, em vários pontos.
Se, nesse exame, constatar-se uma grande ovalização em algum ponto, será preciso retirar novamente essa camisa, verificar a causa dessa ovalização (que poderão ser partículas ou depósitos no alojamento dos anéis ou no furo do bloco, ou mesmo um anel de vedação torcido) e eliminá-la, pois, poderão deformar a camisa a tal ponto que praticamente, não haverá mais folgas entre a camisa e o pistão (que tenderão a escoriar-se).
Um anel de vedação torcido ou com sujeira no seu alojamento podem deformar a camisa e eliminar a folga do pistão.

Alkol Incorporation Says Car Can Run on E85 in About an Hour
Is Al Costa pulling our leg? The CEO of Delaware-based Alkol Inc. says he has a system that will convert your car to run on E85 in about an hour.
“Flexing” your vehicle with the Alkol conversion system will allow you to use one of those high-ethanol pumps, which contain a mix of 85 percent ethanol, as opposed to the normal 10 percent mix in conventional gasoline. You won’t need a brand new shiny vehicle with one of those “Flex Fuel” badges either.
How does it work? Does it work? Is it like one of those quick-fix radiator sealer bottles that high school kids used to pour into their old jalopies?

Costa says the secret is technology from Brazil, where half of the cars have been running on pure ethanol for a few decades. His company has been using the system to convert cars in Brazil for about 15 years, and is seeking $2 million in capital to implement the technology in the U.S., Costa tells the Cleantech Group.
The system, called 1HourFlex, involves installing a conversion unit, which alters the way alcohol is injected into the combustion chamber; an ignition remapper, which alters how the spark plugs are fired; and a small external fuel tank, for cold starts.
Costa says Alkol is in “stealth mode” for now, but he’s planning to open distribution outlets soon in the U.S., where corn is king when it comes to making ethanol. Brazil relies on sugar cane.
Some disclaimers: Your vehicle has to have less than 100,000 miles and be built before 1994 (there goes my truck), due to carbon buildup in older engines.
The systems are due to sell for about $900, according to Biofuels Digest.
More info on Alkol’s plans may come out when company officials speak at a Biofuels Markets Mexico & Central America event in Mexico City in Oct. 7 and a Global China Business Meeting in Lisbon on Nov. 14, Costa says.

Valley Auto and Truck Classic
The 1st Annual Valley Auto and Truck Classic held in Maggie Valley, North Carolina was a complete success! The venue was filled with gorgeous classic vehicles, which travel from neighboring States. The show had the atmosphere of a festival with vendors, music and live classic car auction host by Gore's Corvette World and Motorama.
This 1922 Velie Sport was one of many remarkable vintage cars on display during the three day event. This Velie won a 1st National award in 1983, and was restored by Josey Restorations. The vehicle remains in the Josey family today. This particular Velie was manufactured for the John Deere Family, and had a purchase price of $3,000.
This is a fabulous streetrod! The engine block is cherry red with checkered interior to complement the design of the classic. This has to be one of my favorite streetrods!

Advantages Of Hybrid Cars Over Traditional Cars :new cars hybrid 2010
Advantages Of Hybrid Cars Over Traditional Cars :new cars hybrid 2010
by HybridMan
Fuel causes countless reparation to our setting and its prices keep rising every now and then. Bearing in mind these two factors, a large number of car owners and buyers have been looking for a suitable choice to save money as well as their surrounding environment. Most of people are reckoning hybrid cars as the best replacements for traditional cars, as these cars permit them to save their money as well as surrounding environment.During the past few years, there is a substantial increase in the status of hybrid cars. Results of some studies show that hybrid cars would restore nearly 40% traditional cars in many European and North American countries in the next five years. As hybrid cars are being developed by utilising the most advanced technology, the construction cost for a hybrid car is quite low and that’s why they are an reasonable alternative for everyone.
One of the biggest advantages of buying a hybrid car is that they allow users to save some good amounts of gasoline. These hybrid cars feature cleaner energy that is produced by an electric motor, and they have a long-range capacity of gasoline engines as well. This allows these cars to save nearly 30 miles per gallon. Another striking feature of these hybrid cars is that their gasoline engine automatically shuts off when the car begins to stop. It also shows quite effectual to save some good amounts of fuel. You just step on their accelerator and their gasoline engines turn on mechanically.
Most of traditional cars emit loads of toxic emissions, while hybrid cars least amounts of toxic emissions, as they burn less gasoline. Nevertheless, these hybrid cars are quite environment-friendly and cause less pollution in the air, as they emit minor quantity of carbon dioxide in the air. It’s worth mentioning that higher amounts of carbon dioxide in the air are careful one of the essential reasons of increasing global warming. Hybrid car buyers can get huge tax aid on different models of these hybrid cars. Due to this inducement provided on fuel effectiveness and the amount of gasoline that some hybrid can save in its lifetime.
Manufacturers of these hybrid cars seem to carry on their research to find some more efficient means to reduce the amount of fuel consumption. They are also trying to introduce some new ways for better fuel effectiveness.
Besides these popular gains, the biggest gain of a hybrid car is that they are functional for your immediate environment as well as an inexpensive option for all those who want to save good amount of money and their surrounding setting.
The debates on weather are sustained and the weather is getting crazier and warmer with every passing day, and everyone will have to play their role in a suitable way to make mother Earth a safe place for everybody. Don’t think so that one swallow can’t bring summer. Just do that you can do to save your environment and you will positively feel the difference when others will start to think as you do.

2010 Mazdaspeed3
The idea of Mazda in getting customers to buy their cars is simple: listen to what they want and deliver them to the best of their ability. In recent years, they have revealed their ability to adapt to the demands by releasing pocket and driver friendly cars such as the iconic Mazda MX-5 and the CX-7.It's no wonder then that the latest iteration of the Japanese car maker is always about the
BMW 1-Series update: Two-door coupe in 2008!

People Who Like This Also Like
- We already mentioned that BMW fully intends to bring its 1-Series sedan stateside, but more details have emerged from BMW North America CEO Tom Purves via a recent Automotive News report.
Purves confirms what we reported in the May issue of Motor Trend, that the U.S. will get a two-door coupe version (pictured) of the 1-Series first for 2008 - not the three-door hatchback variant (pictured below) that was expected by most - with a convertible version expected to follow. The German automaker currently offers the 1-Series in the European market in a variety of configurations including a five-door sedan. BMW's 265 horsepower 3.0-liter straight six will likley be the hot engine option, with 170 and 140 horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder mills to round out the range.
The falling value of the euro to the dollar, while heavily impacting profit margins on European imports, is manageable according to Purves. Nonetheless, it remains to be seen where pricing will fall on the 1-Series, generally considered to be BMW's budget model. Seems to us that BMW may choose to take a small hit on per-car profits to keep the price of the 1-Series competitive. Projections are that BMW will have a winner in the small coupe and profit may be able to be gained back with high-volume sales.
We tend to agree. After all, who doesn't love a sporty, value-priced, two-door, rear-drive coupe?

Switch to RON95 and RON97 status quo petrol in Malaysia: Short changing the motorists!
While most of us will rejoice saving 5 sen per litre switching from RON97 to RON95, it is utterly demoralising and short-changing-the-consumers that the previously 'true' premium grade that the govt will ultimately subject to 'market float' pricing remains at RON 97 octane level. Come Sept 1, this grade will be RM2.00 per litre or higher...AND likely subject to world crude price fluctuation.
I have noted that in MTM online forum that the VW Golf GTI Mk5 (pre-May '09 batches) undeniably requires RON98. Do not forget about the scores of other high performance makes like the Civic Type-R, Evo X, Porsche Boxster/Cayman /911, Subaru Impreza WRX STI (needs RON100 actually!), Mitsubishi Colt Turbo, Toyota Caldina, Mazda RX-8, Merc AMG series, BMW M cars, Audi with TFSI engines, Nissan GT-R etc.
True, the numbers of these 'luxury' imported sport (or sportier) makes may be relatively negligible. My contention is that if the authority were to make these 'rich' owners pay more for high-grade premium petrol, wouldn't it be fairer to make an upgrade to truly premium grade of RON98 or even RON99?
Makes me wonder, is there any way that we can 'influence' and appeal to the policy makers? It may be late now, but perhaps it is possible to make a 2nd round change in the future, this time to the higher octane grade available at our fuel pumps, for which we are made to pay more for? As it is we have already paid through our noses for all the imports tariffs, APs and even excise duty in order to get this higher performance makes, be it official or parallel imports (CBU)!!!
Update: As of Sept.1 2009, RON95 petrol is priced higher than expected at RM1.80 per litre while RON97 suffered a 25 sen hike to RM2.05 per litre.

Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster Part 1: Design
The already sexy V8 Vantage has now gone topless
If you were to ask a panel of automotive designers for a list of the top five most beautiful current production cars, it is almost a foregone conclusion that the Aston Martin V8 Vantage would make the cut - and for good reason.The Vantage coupe is nothing short of automotive pornography, pure and simple. The slopping silhouette of its greenhouse and its gorgeous rear fender forms are as sexy as anything rendered in steel and aluminum. In fact, it's almost as good to look at as it is to drive. Easy, I said almost. So what happens to its sex appeal when the Vantage goes topless? More to the point, has it been a worthwhile exercise to chop up the sexy lines of the coupe for a clear view of the sky? Yes, without doubt - as the soft-top Vantage just looks sooo right.
Aston tells us that the Vantage coupe and roadster were designed concurrently and by the look of this car you've no reason to think otherwise. Where some convertibles look like mere afterthoughts of their coupe siblings - think BMW M6 - others, like this car, look right whether the top is up or down.
Key ingredients to the Aston's successful transformation are the seat fairings, which capture the simplicity of a true open car and nicely balance the expansive rear deck. Covered in hand-stitched leather, they also do a great job of tying together the interior and exterior of the vehicle - a key design element that eludes many convertibles.
From the shoulder-line down, everything that makes the regular Vantage such a looker is intact. At the front there's the traditional Aston Martin grille opening and the bejeweled headlights with their LED eyebrows, and on the hood, the vents that extract under-hood heat.
Around the side we see the beautifully shaped bone-line that runs from the functional fender vent through the door and into the generous rear fender. And of course, the elegantly simplistic piece of design-candy that is the flush door pull. Above the shoulder, the fully-lined soft-top - or hood as the Brits refer to it - looks nearly as good up as it does hidden under the hard tonneau cover, with it's simple and elegant shape.
Arguably the most impressive view of the Vantage coupe is the rear three-quarters, where the slopping C-pillar meets the bulging fender and the upswept tail in a carefully sculpted intersection of steel and aluminum. While this view is nice on the C-pillarless Roadster as well, it is the overhead - or planview - that is most stunning, as the fairings behind the headrests invite the eye inside the car's cabin along with the deck's waterfall between the seats.
Simply sensational from its canvas top to its vulcanized Bridgestone Potenzas, the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster achieves the improbable, increasing the appeal of what was already one of the most beautiful pieces of automotive sculpture currently on the road.

Read Part 3: Performance
Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster
Performance
- Acceleration: Larger displacement V8 exactly what the doctor ordered - Vantage is now legit
- Handling: Fantastic, neutral handling - chopped roof doesn't hurt rigidity too badly
- Braking: Strong deceleration with stiff pedal and no fade to speak of
Design
- Exterior: Arguably the best looking convertible on the planet - as elegant as a British car should be
- Interior: A hit-and-miss affair - great craftsmanship in leather and aluminum - other materials not fit for this price range
Utility
- Comfort: Sorry, but seats are not for the "big-boned" (they are very narrow for the American market) - otherwise, it's just right for two
- Space: It is a two-seater, but decent trunk space thanks to fabric top (as opposed to retractable hardtop)
Safety
- Dynamics: While it doesn't feel light on it's Bridgestones, the Vantage responds to orders from the helm quickly and precisely
- Technology: Simple traction/stability system is defeatable - structure is very stiff, which is good if you happen to get it all wrong...
Value
- Price: It is a lot of money, but it is also an Aston Martin - won't make as much sense if and when Audi introduces its R8 convertible
- Mileage: If you have to ask...
Emotional Appeal
- Heart thumpin' factor: Sexy body will make you hot under the collar... and that's before you hear that V8 - yeah, it's got it
- Fun to spank: Oddly, not as much as you'd think - although the soundtrack never gets old, it's reluctant to play drifter and feels heavy and less than composed while doing so

Toyota Prius
Toyota Prius Part 1 of 3: Design
A blend of appealing design and high-mileage aerodynamics
The third generation Toyota Prius arrives on the heels of its hugely successful predecessor, ready to take the baton and continue leading a growing pack of hybrids. With a more mature design, the newest Prius builds on the positive attributes of its forebears, while leaving behind some of the less desirable elements.Rather than looking like just another car, the Prius embraces its status as the hybrid car poster child by actually looking the part. You won't see a Prius and confuse it with anything "normal" as the design of this car has become the very definition of what a hybrid should look like.
The science of aerodynamics dictates much of the car's shape, but there's more to it than that. Toyota very cleverly hasn't ventured too far away from the look of the grand-slam sales success that was the second generation Prius. Instead, the company has matured the look, continuing to define its aero-imposed silhouette with subtle sculpturing in key areas.
Examples of this sharp attention to detail are found at the front of the car, where the corporate badge sits on a softly raised nose that adds personality to the cars face. We also see crisp surface changes on either side of the lower intake, as well as on the corners just outside of the driving lamps. These facets perfectly illustrate the collaborative efforts of aero engineers and designers in achieving functional shapes that also look great - a true win-win scenario.
Around the back - where aerodynamics continue to play a huge role - we find more clean surface breaks at the corners. Artfully integrated into the taillight shapes and the trailing edge of the hatch, this crisp line allows the laminar flow of air passing along the sides of the car to cleanly break away at the back, resulting in reduced drag, and of course - the primary goal of the Prius - higher mileage numbers.
Toyota has also been crafty in carefully massaging the car's proportions, perhaps the single weakest element of previous Prius models. One key ingredient to that end is the availability of larger, 17-in. wheels on the top-line Prius V model. These work wonders for the car's stance and its overall visual appeal.
While I wasn't a fan of the "glorified golf cart" that was the first Prius, the second generation was significantly better, although in my opinion, still a little dorky looking. This newest one, however, is a huge improvement that to my eye, actually looks pretty good. But - and this is a big but - it MUST have the optional larger wheels from the Prius V in order to avoid looking goofy.
Finally, the increased width of the car contributes as much to the improved proportions as to interior volume, another win-win for the Prius design team.
Slowly but surely shedding the "tech-geek" look of its predecessors - if not completely its similar image - the Toyota Prius has grown in both size and appeal, looking perfectly positioned to continue its impressive sales success.
Toyota Prius
Performance
- Acceleration: Not even remotely quick - CVT keeps the engine crying at its horsepower peak when you're on it - not enough of that electric-car surge
- Handling: Its weakest dynamic element - Prius V model offers firmer suspension... should be standard
- Braking: Regenerative brakes more transparent than previous model - spongy feel is at least consistent with the car's handling
Design
- Exterior: Perhaps its strongest attribute, with excellent aero detailing - the de facto hybrid look - larger wheels fitted to Prius V an absolute must
- Interior: Again, defines the category - excellent overall design, but with cheap looking and feeling materials
Utility
- Comfort: Given its size, excellent for front and rear occupants - strong A/C system, too
- Space: Adequate for its size - aero silhouette costs it some packaging space, but not as much as its main rival, the Honda Insight
Safety
- Dynamics: Ah... no - intrusive stability control system is actually welcomed
- Technology: All the safety technology that a super power like Toyota can muster up
Value
- Price: The biggest disadvantage compared to the Honda Insight - Toyota cleverly left room at the bottom for a Prius I stripper
- Mileage: The King
Emotional Appeal
- Heart thumpin' factor: Only if you can get your thrills from maximizing mileage
- Fun to spank: Simply not applicable

New Volkswagen Polo with 3-door variant
Good News for polo mania, the 3-door Volkswagen Polo is aloof as handsome attractive at the 5-door Volkswagen Polo. Volkswagen has absolutely got its babyish B-segment hatchback’s administration sorted out nicely. Best chiefly to me, the Polo now looks unisex, while its antecedent looked a little feminine to me.

BMW 335i Sedan Quick Test
The most frequently targeted benchmark in the automotive world
The BMW 3-series' long reign as the king of sports sedans is well defended by the latest and greatest 335i.New for 2009 but really amounting to a midterm facelift of its three-year-old fifth-generation 3-series sedan, BMW's 335i slots in just below the much more expensive and exotic M3 to stand as quite possibly the world's most frequently targeted automotive benchmark.
Seemingly every automaker in the world looking to build a proper sports sedan has taken a shot at the BMW 3-series - which is a good thing: After all, almost any car could benefit from being a little bit more like the BMW 335i!
Featuring a magnificent 300hp, twin-turbocharged engine mated to either a six-speed automatic or a six-speed manual, the 335 is underpinned by a chassis with moves so athletic it can embarrass many a so-called sportscar.
It is truly a darling of the world's automotive press.
What is it specifically about BMW's bread-and-butter earner that, year after year, earns it high praise?
A magnificent powertrain and a great chassis certainly don't hurt, but what really elevates the 335i to the top of the sports sedan class is the diversity of its talents. It is agile, practical and economical. It is built superbly from premium materials. It features all the usual luxury amenities and more.
Center stage in the 335i performance story, of course, is its award winning 3-liter, twin-turbocharged and direct-injected engine. Smooth and relatively economical (as long as you stay out of the boost), the inline 6 feels more like a larger-displacement V8.
Maximum torque delivery from 1400 all the way to 5000 rpm hides the typical turbo "spike" while throttle lag is nearly non-existent thanks partially to direct fuel injection but mainly to the use of two turbos.
Those twin turbochargers are small, low-pressure units that, thanks to low inertia, spin up quickly to provide instant boost when you get on the throttle.
And then there are the car's other attributes: The 335i offers a level of precision from the helm that few other cars possess, with a ride and handling balance that is perhaps its biggest advantage over its rivals.
Only on the race track is the driver ever left wanting as the lack of a limited-slip differential starts the Dynamic Traction Control light blinking. Disable that system and you're left spinning the inside wheel exiting corners hard on the gas.
To be fair, the 4-door 335i isn't intended to be a track star, and this scrabble for traction at the edge of adhesion is something most owners will never experience.
The 2009 BMW 335i, with its wide array of winning talents, continues its long reign as the king of luxury sport sedans.
Pricey, yes: Starting at just over $40,000, it gets expensive when you spec it with all of the "must have" options.
But, somehow, it's still worth it: The mix of rewarding driving experience with everyday usability is what makes it so intriguing, and gives credence to the BMW 335i's rep as the sports sedan.
BMW 335i Sedan
Performance
- Acceleration: Nearly as quick as last-generation E46 M3 (!!!) - turbo lag nearly imperceptible - pulls and pulls and pulls
- Handling: Traditional BMW balance and precise steering combined with excellent (read: unobtrusive) DSC allows you to adjust cornering attitude at will - still the class benchmark
- Braking: Never less than excellent on the street, they will start to go away on the track despite the brake fade compensation system's best efforts (although in all fairness, this isn't a track car)
Design
- Exterior: Thankfully, Bangle's hand was restrained by BMW's board on the E90 3-series, with this mild facelift mostly improving the car further - organic shapes at the front seem out of place
- Interior: Starting to get a bit dated inside - aluminum option helps keep it more modern chic than the traditional wood
Utility
- Comfort: Great ride/handling balance combined with impressive build-quality results in a comfortable place to be... at least in the front
- Space: Excellent accommodations up front, less so in the rear where competitors offer more space
Safety
- Dynamics: The single best attribute of the 3-series range - after all, if you can avoid the accident in the first place...
- Technology: Everything you expect to find in a car at this price
Value
- Price: Certainly starts to get expensive when you spec the 3 with all of the "must have" options, but somehow, it's still worth it
- Mileage: Driven sanely, not too bad - driven on the boost...
Emotional Appeal
- Heart thumpin' factor: Excluding the awesome M3, it is the top-spec 3-series, but probably too common and practical to really make your heart soar
- Fun to spank: A little - although a limited-slip option would certainly help (nearly unforgivable oversight BMW!)

Aston Martin V8
Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster Part 2: Interior
Endowed with a sense of occasion that is truly special
As is the case with the world's finest luxury goods, Aston Martin automobiles are renowned for their exquisite, hand-built craftsmanship. With beautiful exteriors of steel and aluminum, and equally attractive interiors of hand-stitched leather and milled aluminum, Astons are endowed with a sense of occasion that is truly special. This is even more so when the Aston Martin in question is an open-car.The interior of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster is definitely a special place to be, with leather on nearly every surface and a refreshing simplicity to its layout compared to the sea of buttons that you find in most modern cars. As with anything however, there is some room for improvement.
The leather and hand-stitching are exquisite - especially in our test car's "Bitter Chocolate" with contrasting stitching. But other bits of the interior are less impressive. The navigation screen, for example, is neither high-tech looking, nor particularly good compared to systems from other manufacturers. In its fully open position, the screen looks to be stuck three-quarters of the way up, which is kind of odd.
Then there's the center console, which is ergonomically challenged, and has a finish that isn't up to the quality standards of the rest of the hand-crafted interior. And since the "Emotion Control Unit" - that is essentially the car's key - seems to have been the focus of so much angst, I'll skip this bit of marketing cheese and move on to the only other item that is less than expected: the steering wheel.
As such an important component in a sportscar, the steering wheel of the Vantage Roadster just doesn't look as if it belongs in $150k worth of England's finest, although the steering system attached to it does feel great, with nice weight and a good amount of feel. Don't get me wrong, it isn't awful, but again, with expectations set so high by the stunning exterior and the rest of the interior, it's a bit surprising to find that the ball's been dropped on one of the most important points of contact.
Back to all that is good. The insulated fabric top will make you wonder what all the fuss is about regarding retractable hardtops. Elegant in simplicity and in style, the top of the Vantage Roadster does a great job of transforming the car from tanning machine to closed coupe, with only slightly more external noise making its way into the cockpit than on the coupe. As a bonus, the glorious exhaust note - truly one of the best in the automotive world - gets turned up to 11 when the top is down. Another nice feature is that you can open and close the top at up to 30 mph. Which is good, because any time that rain or snow aren't falling, this top should be down.
As the drop-top version of the company's highly-regarded V8 Vantage, the Roadster aims to not only carry on the tradition of sporting open-topped Astons, but to build upon the success of its closed-top variant. With its open top providing an even more dramatic presence as well as a unique driving experience, the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster seems well placed to deliver on all fronts.

2009 Honda Insight
2009 Honda Insight Part 1 of 3: Design
Honda's challenge to the class-leading Toyota Prius
While some people believe the new Honda Insight is merely a "me-too" effort that borrows heavily from "that other hybrid", Insight was the name used on the first-ever production gasoline-electric hybrid sold in North America by Honda in model year 2000.The original Honda Insight was the right idea, but the wrong package - a typical case of great concept, but poor execution. Not that it was a bad car - as owners of those original versions really seem to love them - it just wasn't much of a car. Years later when the Prius came along, the concept was proven correct by better execution and better timing.
Honda's return volley to the crew at Toyota is the 2010 Insight. Previewed by the Honda Insight concept car introduced in our coverage of last year's L.A. Autoshow, we wondered then how much of the concept's styling would be lost in the transition to production. And now that the 2010 Insight is here, we can see that other than the show car prerequisites of big wheels, fancy LED lighting and hidden door-handles, the Insight made the transition pretty much intact. Before we get into the details however, let's address one of the Insight's biggest criticisms...
Contrary to what many believe, the shape of the Insight is not dictated by the success of the Toyota Prius, but rather by aerodynamics. Yes, the two cars look very similar, but it's mostly a silhouette thing. In size and detail they start to differ quite a bit. Especially when you compare the Insight to the new Prius.
Once past the similarities in profile to the Prius, we find Honda DNA all over the Insight. At the front, there's no mistaking the family look shared with the Clarity - Honda's fuel cell production car, with the Insight's blue tinted headlights announcing its eco-friendly intentions.
Around the side we continue to see the influence of Honda's greenest car in the curious line that continues south from the A-pillar, running rather strangely into the front fender flare. Also borrowed from the Clarity is the swelling flare that starts at the rear door and runs into the taillights - now even more pronounced than on the concept version. And although the tail of the car isn't as long, and thus, not as aerodynamic as that of the Clarity, the inspiration from its big brother is still evident in the various graphic elements and in the transparent panel between the taillights. That glass panel - which is similar to that used on the Toyota Prius - is not an element copied from Toyota, but one that Honda first used on the second-generation CRX of 1988.
That so many of today's fuel-economy focused cars look somewhat similar is no coincidence, as the rules of aerodynamics have no aesthetic prejudices. But in a world where car design is increasingly dictated by science, we just need to look a little bit closer - at the subtle details - to appreciate the effort today's designers put into giving each and every car its own personality - and the 2010 Honda Insight is an excellent example.
2010 Honda Insight
Performance
- Acceleration: Well... not really - CVT makes the experience feel even slower - just keep in mind patience is a virtue
- Handling: Surprisingly nimble and even... fun - would do significantly better without the all-season, low-resistance tires fitted for maximum mileage
- Braking: Regenerative brakes much more transparent than other similar systems - car's light weight helps keep distances short
Design
- Exterior: Not quite as fun looking as its sibling Honda Fit, but much better than the outgoing Prius model it was targeted against - doesn't try to look like a hybrid, which can be good or bad depending on your point of view
- Interior: Very modern and more successful than the exterior - hybrid touches (glowing speedometer, IMA display) nicely integrated
Utility
- Comfort: Good for the front passengers, less so for those in the back seat - noisy cabin (road, tire and engine noise)
- Space: Aerodynamic fastback also offers a spacious package - hatch is a bit large/tall if you open it in a garage
Safety
- Dynamics: Certainly no sportscar, but compared to the other car in this category, this one has the moves to get you out of trouble
- Technology: As much safety stuff as you hope to not need - quite an achievement at this price when you consider the technology in the drivetrain
Value
- Price: Perhaps its biggest attribute, especially when you consider all of the content in and under the car
- Mileage: Not quite as impressive as the newest Prius, but as a package, this car makes more sense
Emotional Appeal
- Heart thumpin' factor: For the hypermiler? Yeah. For the car guy? Ahh... not exactly
- Fun to spank: Let's just say, "not applicable."
