Honda Gets It Right With New Clarity - Sort Of : Honda Car story review 2008
by GARKO
Honda’s new Clarity IS positively motion in the most optimum direction but others have already beaten it to the finish line. It is a saner pollution solution but there is an even better pollution solution. It is an historic milestone from a big player in the car making industry. And for all these positives which I will now share some information on, I applaud it!The mid-size Clarity is expected to (reportedly) return an EPA-confirmed sixty eight MPG. The Clarity also will ace federal safety standards, start in temperatures as low as 22 degrees below zero and survive trips out to Las Vegas (high heat). Refueling is ludicrous as it requires that you have a big and heavy natural gas powered home unit, which, as it runs on natural gas, seems to defeat the whole purpose or that you live near Santa Monica, Torrance or Irvine. For now. However, the per-tank range is 270 miles. The Clarity will be coming to a Honda dealer near you in Summer 2008 (provided that you live in or near one of those three cities), Honda will be happy to lease you a Clarity for “just” $600 a month. The FCX Clarity integrates Honda’s V Flow stack in combination with a new design smaller and powerful lithium ion battery and a single hydrogen storage tank to power the automobile’s electric drive engine. The main source of power is the fuel cell stack. Hydrogen mixes with oxygen from the atmosphere in the fuel cell stack, and energy from the reaction is transformed into electric power which then propels the vehicle. Another energy source is generated through the conservation of kinetic energy from slowing down and braking the vehicle (known as regenerative braking), and that is stored along with surplus energy from the fuel cell in the lithium ion battery pack, and supplements power from the fuel cell, when it is required. The only exhaust from this car is water. The distribution of the new Honda will be for starters only in Southern California. This is because they do not have sufficient hydrogen refueling stations set up yet in other areas which are sufficient for keeping the car running. These stations compare to gas stations, only they are specifically for use by vehicles powered by a fuel cell. Honda is advising potential buyers that they should not plan to drive the vehicle outside of Southern California.It’s a shame that only one hundred Clarity’s will be made available to drivers in the Los Angeles area. But I suppose for those one hundred drivers they will be in a position where the Jones’s ain’t gonna be able to keep up with them!So the question becomes… if you are not one of the fortunate few that a. resides in specific parts of Los Angeles b. have $600/month easily available c. can’t compute the numbers and realize that they will be paying two or three times as much for a car in order to save not more than about $100-200/month on gas. d. Don’t mind driving around with a hydrogen tank in your car. (In fact, mark my words, I am sad to have to look into my crystal ball and project that one of these Clarity vehicles will get involved in an accident that leaves a crater on some Los Angeles freeway and the thought of a hydrogen fueled automobile will be have a lable on it forever like a 1973 Pinto so that the idea will be abandoned). I usually rebuke cynicism but…Ok, so…then what do you do? Well there is a solution that you can install in any engine, even yours, at very minimal cost, using odds and end hardware store items and will make it so your current vehicle will do most of the things that the new Honda Clarity will do but with no inconvenience and without the risk of driving around with a hydrogen “bomb” (storage tank). You can acquire the information right now!If you are unindoctrinated, WATER4GAS is sharing information at a low price which consumers can use in their garage or wherever to put together a small device which infuses hydrogen into the fuel/air mixture that their car or truck runs on. The process makes smaller particles out of the ones that the engine burns as fuel. So the engine gets to use a lot more of the gas. By doing this you can reasonably expect to improve your gas mileage by 12%. But many are obtaining thirty to fifty percent improvement or significantly more. Those particles “musta” been pretty “blankin’” huge in some engines before. But with WATER4GAS they are made usable so you can improve your gas mileage. It also helps to lower emissions significantly. This information has been purchased by over NINE THOUSAND people already and happy members number about 99%! So how about you?

Search for a Honda car dealer online
by Louis Rix
If you are looking for a specific Honda car then going with a Honda car dealer should be your first stop. Even better going online and searching with many dealers will make finding the car of your dreams simple and quick. Using a specialist motoring website you can search for dealers that specialise in Honda cars and they will be listed together so that you can take the time to browse and see if they have what you want. One of the best tools that a specialist website will offer is the search engine. Unlike a traditional search engine you can tailor your search based on many factors regarding cars. To start with when looking for a Honda car dealer online you should define how far you are willing to travel when it comes to looking at the vehicle and taking it for a test drive. Of course the wider the area then the bigger the chance of finding the right car for the right price, some websites will make this easy by listing counties to choose from.
Once you have been presented with a list of Honda dealers then clicking on the links will take you to the dealer page and from here you can start your search. For example if you are looking for a Honda Civic of a certain age, price and even colour then type your criteria in the box and you will be presented with cars matching this. To narrow down the choices you can then add more search criteria.
All listings for used cars should be accompanied by good clear photographs of the cars and depending on the dealer there will be several photos, which can give you an excellent overall view of the car. Of course more important is the actual listing, the wording describing the car. The wording should detail all the basics of the car including how many miles the vehicle has done, any service history, the asking price and the cars age. Hopefully the listing will then go on to mention any extras the car has and will point out both the good features of the car and the bad, if there are any.
Once you have found your ideal car you will of course want to go and take a look at it and here again a specialist website can be very useful prior to your going. They will give you many hints and tips on what to check while looking over the car and while buying your car from a Honda car dealer is safer than buying privately you still have to be careful. Also take into consideration what it will cost to tax and test the car and what the running costs will add up to along with the insurance. Also check online when it comes to options for the loan and make sure you can really afford to take it on. Once you are satisfied that you can afford the car then do not be afraid to haggle with the dealer over the price. The majority of dealers will knock off something, even if only a little from the asking price.
