Honda Insight LX - 2010


This car will release in the year of 2010 and ready to compete with others new released can on this year. Honda will open the car price with about of $ 31,821 but may can change the price if the market have many competitor on this class, just hope.

Engine use for this car have specification as below:

* 1.3L I4, 8 valves, 98 hp @ 5800 rpm
* VAR speed automatic transmission
* 40 mpg city / 43 mpg hwy

Honda will use hybrid engine to make saving energy car use. Honda appears finally to have learned how to play in the hybrid game. Simply putting a hybrid power train in a regular car doesn't cut it. If a carmaker wants to be taken seriously, it had better deliver a hybrid that looks like what the market has said it wants a hybrid to look like. And that, apparently, given the sales numbers, is a Toyota Prius. Hence, the all-new, Honda Insight is virtually a carbon copy of that market leader.

Toyota Company's Earning Down

On the world crisis era, automobile market is down. Like Toyota of Japan also downgrade of their car sales. Toyota reports a 77.8 billion yen ($819 million) loss for the fiscal first quarter as global sales plunged and a strong yen reduced the value of its overseas earnings.

But the world's top automaker trimmed its loss forecast for the full fiscal year through March 2010 Tuesday to 450 billion yen ($4.7 billion), better than the 550 billion yen ($5.8 billion) it had initially projected. Toyota still get a benefit from their vehicle selling, because not just produce expensive car like general motor, and exactly still exist on the car business, different with general motor that getting bankrupt because of less of product diversification and can’t sell to developing countries.

This car producer still optimist that their car will increase their selling on the year of 2010. Toyota will produce of green vehicles and hope can help their automobile market.
