Trying to Sort Out the Confusing Names and Product Lines of Hyundai & Honda
by Terry Bolton

Once thought of as an italic logo rip-off company of Honda, Hyundai is now beginning to establish its own reputation as a quality car company. Using the image of Honda as the provider of the most reliable vehicles, Hyundai has since styled its own reputation for reliability. Hyundai has become a serious competitor in the American car marketplace. In recent years, Hyundai has even begun appearing with Honda in the top ranks of customer satisfaction surveys. Hyundai & Honda seem to be forever intertwined in similarity since Hyundai struck the American marketplace. How has Hyundai done it?
Constant Investment in the Future
From the beginning, Hyundai has had a large budget for innovation and improvement in their products. They find out what customers and non-customers find most dissatisfying about their cars and make planning decisions to attempt to fix their designs so that all of those people will be potential customers in the future.
2006 Hyundai & Honda: The First Real Quality Challenge
In 2006, Hyundai first showed itself to be more than a cheap car rip-off of the Honda brand. The release of the 2006 Hyundai Tiburon to compete with the 2006 Honda Civic sent shocks through the imported automobile industry. The 2006 Hyundai Tiburon cost about $4,000 less than the 2006 Honda Civic, even though the Hyundai Tiburon came standard with more features than the Honda Civic. Additionally, the Hyundai Tiburon had tinted glass, heated exterior mirrors, and performed at 2 MPG better than the Civic.
2007 Hyundai & Honda: Small Car Showdown
In 2007, Hyundai made waves by filling its Elantra full of features at less money than the Civic with only the most basic features. Such features as radio controls in the steering wheel, built-in Bluetooth connectivity, and XM satellite radio options were built into the Elantra. Even more impressive was the way Hyundai & Honda differed in warranty. Hyundai showed so much confidence in its Elantras to provide a five-year, 60,000 mile warranty, while the Civic only had a basic three-year, 36,000 mile warranty. Many also reported increased satisfaction with the new seating comfort and space for back-seat passengers.

One of the first glaring differences between the 2006 Hyundai Tiburon and the 2006 Honda Civic is the price tag, where the Tiburon costs about $4,000 less at $16,095. Both vehicles offer access to a standard CD player, yet consumers have the option to also enjoy a cassette player in the Hyundai. While halogen headlights come standard on both cars, the Hyundai provides standard fog lights while Honda only offers this as an extra option. Other features of the Hyundai Tiburon that have impressed buyers include heated exterior mirrors, tinted glass, and 24 MPG (compared to 22 MPG with the Honda).
Overall, Hyundai has made great strides in regards to their overall features, interior, and beyond - making it a viable competitor in the car industry. This has caused automobile leaders (like Honda) to break a sweat.

Keeping Your Car Cool with Honda Water Pump
by Anthony Fontanelle
We know your Honda car delivers the kind of horse power and torque you’ve always wanted. Overheating troubles, though, may set you back. So to keep things nice and cool, every Honda car is equipped with the Honda water pump. The water pump is an integral component of your Honda car’s cooling system. Your Honda water pump delivers liquid coolant or water to your radiator from your engine to avoid overheating.
Your water pump is composed of an inlet valve. This enables the water or coolant to hit the pump vanes, eventually allowing the water to return to the engine. A faulty water pump causes engine overheating which might (and probably will) lead to the following wrinkles and pickles: a warped head, a blown head gasket, as well as premature engine wear and tear. Save yourself from these unnecessary problems, replace your old, faulty, worn-out water pump with a Honda water pump.

Honda Donates $1M To DSO
by Anthony Fontanelle
Musical and generous. That is what Honda Motor Co. radiated when it donated $1 million to the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. The donation will allow more children to participate in the youth training program of DSO.The second largest Japanese car maker’s first major gift to DSO is by far the most sizeable thing it has given to an American arts organization. The donation will be used to fund the Power of Dreams String Project, which will provide introductory music education and string training in Metro Detroit communities where opportunities for children are nonexistent or families could not afford the instruments or lessons, according to the Detroit News.The Honda grant is expected to add 200 beginning string players to DSO classical training programs, which now include about 450 young musicians in five ensembles, the report continued. The grant, which will be divided in equal installments over the next five years, is also aimed to pay for private string lessons for 20 children in grades three through six.What’s more, the grant sets seed money for a Power of Dreams Music Education Fund. DSO solicits public contributions for such fund.”This is exactly the kind of partnership we’ve been looking for to assure the stability of these vital programs long-term,” said DSO president and executive director Anne Parsons. “While we are very proud of our educational programs, it’s a struggle every year to raise the considerable amount of money needed to keep them going.”They “have long been among our major corporate donors” to the DSO’s annual fund drive, which in fiscal 2007 generated $3.5 million for all corporate sponsors combined, said DSO press director Jill Woodward. That is nearly a quarter of the orchestra’s record total of $14.6 million for the year. “Certainly in the corporate category, the Big Three have a long history of giving. The Max wouldn’t be here without them,” she added.Honda giving considerable donations in America signals its desire to increase its presence in the territory. This could be the result of the intensifying pressure among the Big 3.The designation of Honda’s large DSO gift for training children reflects the company’s philanthropic emphasis on both youth and education, said Gary Kessler, the senior vice president for human resources at American Honda Corp. “We’re mindful of the benefits to a child from music education,” he said.”Research shows the relationship between musical studies and personal discipline and effectiveness in all areas of learning. We want to make a difference in lives, and we’re excited about a synergy between Honda and the DSO’s excellent educational programs.”Leonard Slatkin, the DSO’s music director designate, said that he expects Honda’s collaboration with the DSO to provide “musical opportunities that will make an impact on our young people. The innovative quality of Detroit’s initiatives, and my ability to lead in this area, is one of the things that attracted me to the DSO. Together we will be leaders in the field.”Like the flexibility of Monroe shocks,(site:replacementshocks.com/performance-shocks-sitemap.html) the automakers are finding ways to reach out to different organizations to increase industry presence and to help accordingly.

Honda reconsiders Hybrids for 2008 Sales Growth : New honda hybrid cars 2009
by Anthony Fontanelle

Honda Motor Company, Ltd., the second largest automobile seller in Japan, is reconsidering an investment on hybrids and other technologies to cope up with the growing consumer demand for environmentally-friendly vehicles and keep up its sales momentum.
According to Honda President Takeo Fukui, his company has something unique to offer in gas-and-electric hybrids. He ignored the fact that its leading rival in the segment, Toyota, is working so well with the Prius (currently the best selling hybrid) these days.
In a recent speech, Fukui said, “The competition in hybrids has just begun.”
Fukui said that Honda will introduce a hybrid with an affordable price tag in 2009. The company’s target sales are set at 200,000 vehicles a year.
The Japanese company — which produces the Accord sedan and Civic compact — plans to boost its hybrid offerings in the coming years. Fukui said that the plan is part of pushing the company’s sales to about 10 percent higher by 2010.
Fukui mentioned that Honda expects a 6 percent increase in global sales this year at a record of 3.76 million vehicles, compared from 3.55 million units in 2006. Subsequently, he predicted sales growth to persist in 2008. He sees the solid customer demand in the U.S., Europe and Asia, including Japan, to where the company has been struggling. The auto maker is planning to introduce four new models in the said markets.
Earlier this year, Honda discontinued the production of the gas-and-electric version of its Accord sedan. The version was sold only in North America. Just about 25,000 units of it were sold since the company began the sale in 2004.
Toyota, on the other hand, sold approximately 900,000 units of the Prius worldwide since December of 1997. The popularity of the vehicle did not weaken for the past decade on sale.
Last year, the Prius covers more than 40 percent of hybrid sale in the U.S. Though it is far better selling than any other hybrids in the market, Toyota still offers several other hybrid models. That includes the hybrid Camry and hybrid Lexus models.
So far, Honda is still producing gas-and-electric models of its Civic sedan. But, the company is aware of its error in not offering a hybrid-only model such as the Prius. It somewhat regret the moment it did not realize that hybrids tend to be more popular with smaller models because mileage improvements tend to be more distinct.
Now, according to Fukui, Honda is considering an investment amounting to $424 million for a research center in Japan. It will be used to maintain its technological prowess through focusing on the production of next-generation cars, which includes hybrids and fuel cells. It will also focus on research for new technology intended for Honda’s Acura luxury brand models, which will be equipped with quality parts such as the Acura CL cargo liner (car-stuff.com/mmparts/acura-cl/cargo_liner.html) and other premium auto parts.
In 2009, the center is expected to be partially running. Then, by 2010, it will be fully opened.
Although Fukui declined to provide a price, he said that Honda’s hybrid system costs less than Toyota’s. This fact will allow Honda to offer its planned hybrid at a competitive and more affordable price.

Hybrid Car Reviews - Doing Your Research Before Making A Purchase  

 by Dean Forster

The Toyota Prius and the Honda Civic Hybrid are recommended if you use them around town. They are medium size cars that can carry up to five adults in complete comfort and safety. Their hybrid technology allows for a significant mileage that is unachievable by traditional gasoline powered cars. When they need more power, they will use the gasoline engine in combination with the electric one to offer you the best compromise between power and economy.

The Japanese carmakers were among the first to introduce hybrid cars on the market. Toyota, Lexus and Honda all have several hybrid models available and more to come. Reading about hybrid car reviews is recommended before you make your final decision of purchasing a new car as such a model can save you a lot of money. You will soon be able to buy hybrid SUVs as both American and Asian carmakers are finalizing their hybrid models and are preparing them for launch.

Honda to Increase Presence in Indian Auto Market
by Anthony Fontanelle

The Asian continent is fast becoming a huge market for automobiles. While some European markets seem to be slowing down and the U.S. auto sales is hampered by housing problems, Asian countries are increasingly becoming a favorite of car manufacturers. In fact, China and Japan are only next to the United States in terms of auto sales.
Aside from these two countries, another Asian country is fast becoming a hub for car manufacturers. India is now the fourth biggest car market in the Asian continent and car companies are taking notice. Not so long ago, General Motors announced their interest in the growing auto market of the country. Aside from General Motors, the alliance of Nissan and Renault has already started testing the Indian auto market. Following their steps towards the high ranks is the second largest Japanese car manufacturer Honda.
The company announced that they will be manufacturing and selling compact cars in the region by the year 2009. The company’s decision to market smaller cars in the country is due to the fact that the three-quarters of all the cars sold in India are compact cars. General Motors, Volkswagen, Nissan, and Renault have also announced that they will be manufacturing small cars for the country. Honda’s small cars to be sold in India will be built on a plant to be constructed in Rajasthan. The company reported that they expect to spend $728 million in the construction of the new assembly facility.
Honda’s announcement to enter the small car market in India is fueled by the prediction that the country’s demand for small cars will continue to increase in the near future. It has been estimated that by the year 2016, annual car sales in India will reach 3 million units. This predicted car sales will be divided by car manufacturers such as Suzuki and Hyundai, both of which have an already established buyer base in the country, as well as other brands like Nissan, Renault, General Motors, Volkswagen, Honda and other domestic and international brands who are willing to invest in India.
Although it is speculated that Honda will be manufacturing small cars, the Japanese car company is yet to name what model they will be producing at the Rajasthan production plant. Upon completion, the assembly facility will be expected to produce 60,000 vehicles annually. By the year 2014, Honda plans to expand the facility and increase its production capacity to 200,000 per year. The facility will handle all the processes handled by a full time automobile assembly plant. Although Honda is yet to announce the full scale of jobs to be handled by the facility it is expected that the brake assembly for vehicles will be one of the tasks of the plant.
To meet the expected production output, the new plant will be employing 4,000 workers. This means that Honda will not only benefit from the growing market in India but they will also be helping the country’s economy.
