Question of the Day: 2011 Ford Fiesta over Honda Fit, Nissan Versa, Toyota Yaris?

2011 Ford Fiesta

The 2011 Ford Fiesta should be available for a test drive at your local showroom now (last we hearddealers and customers were complaining that the Fiesta has been delayed). In our eyes it seems like the 2011 Fiesta will give the subcompact market in the United States quite a competition.

The 2011 Ford Fiesta starts at $13,320, looks better than the competition and offers better fuel-economy (no we’re not kissing FoMoCo’s rear-end we’re just stating the facts). Either way at the end of the day, the decision is yours and what you feel is the best choice for your daily driver.

Quand Hugo Boss fait de la com' avec les pilotes F1

Quand on tient deux Champion du Monde de F1 prisés par les tabloïds et les magasines masculins sous la main, et que l'on a des costumes et des cravates de luxe à vendre, on ne se pose pas trop de questions, et on balance la sauce.

Ainsi, Hugo Boss, partenaire de l'écurie McLaren, qui héberge les deux derniers champion du monde en activité, n'a pas mégoté au moment de lancer sa nouvelle campagne mettant en scène les pilotes F1 : un communiqué de presse monstrueux tenant en plus de pages qu'il n'en faut pour un débriefing technique de Grand Prix, et des leçons de vie façon Lewis Hamilton dans l'esprit Miss Univers : "tuer les bébé phoques, c'est mal; la guerre, c'est moche; je suis pour les arbres verts et les gens qui sourient". Enfin, quelque chose comme ça, on a sauté quelques pages quand Lewis commençait à dire qu'il fallait que les enfants soient gentils avec leurs parents!

2011 Honda Pilot EX

The Pilot is powered by an advanced 24-valve i-VTEC engine with "intelligent" Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (i-VTEC) technology.

ergonomically intuitive controls. Instrument panel meters illuminate with a three-dimensional, vibrant blue color theme resulting in a multi-layered appearance. Set against a motif of textured black materials and aluminum-style trim accents, the upper portion of the dashboard extends toward the driver to provide a wrap-around cockpit environment. The passenger zone offers an open, comfortable space. Premium sport-oriented cloth seats are designed to provide excellent lateral support along with everyday driving comfort. A mid-ship console behind the front seats optimizes cargo space. A hard-shell separator can be closed to create additional hidden storage.

The modular rear engine bay, depicted on the exterior by blue composite material, is designed to accommodate a wide variety of potential propulsion technologies including a conventional small displacement internal combustion engine, a hybrid gasoline-electric powertrain, or a battery-electric powertrain.

"The objective of the exterior and interior designers was to explore the potential for a new type of small-segment-category vehicle that overcomes many of the objections for existing micro-car designs," said Marek. "While the Honda P-NUT concept introduces function-oriented concepts, it also shows that small cars don't have to compromise on style or amenities."

The Advanced Design Studio of Honda R&D Americas, Inc. in Los Angeles developed the P-NUT design study model. Honda R&D Americas began its operations in California in 1975 with local market research activities and has steadily grown its capabilities over the past 33 years to include all aspects of new vehicle research, design and development. Recent Honda-brand efforts include trend-setting products such as the Pilot, Ridgeline, Element, Civic Coupe and Civic Si Coupe.

sophistication while balancing the need for maximum interior space and an aerodynamic appearance. The interior layout, in conjunction with the rear powertrain design, contributes prominently to the exterior's overall shape.

The layout of the interior space, with its center driving position flanked by two rear seats, provides generous legroom for all occupants, roughly the equivalent of a mid-sized sedan in a vehicle that has an exterior footprint similar to a micro car. Interior functionality is increased by rear seating areas that fold up and out of the way to increase storage capacity. The windshield serves as a heads-up display for the navigation system and the back-up camera.

2010 Honda P-NUT Concept

The Honda Personal-Neo Urban Transport (P-NUT) design study model demonstrates a futuristic concept for an ultra-compact and sophisticated city coupe, American Honda Motor Co., Inc., announced today at the 2009 Los Angeles Auto Show.

2010 Honda P-NUT Concept: Small car maximizes style and amenities

Conceived around a small "footprint" for maximum convenience in tight urban settings, the packaging concept integrates a center driving position configuration and a rear powertrain layout. The exterior styling leverages crisp angles with dynamic flowing lines that originate from the front of the vehicle and span outward toward the rear. The end result is a sleek and aggressive exterior that also allows for a spacious and open interior with excellent visibility.

"A new generation is discovering the benefits of living in urban centers that provide convenient access to business, entertainment and social opportunities," said Dave Marek, director of advanced design for Honda R&D Americas, Inc. "The Personal-Neo Urban Transport concept explores the packaging and design potential for a vehicle conceived exclusively around the city lifestyle."

Honda Skydeck Concept

It seams that this futuristic six-seater car, the Honda Skydeck Concept, represented at the Tokyo Motor Show, can meet a wide range of ages and lifestyles, like a bridge between the extreme-sports crew and the shuffleboard set. Now, the Japanese carmaker have the biggest stand of all the exhibitors and have filled it up with an array of design studies that are brimful of new ideas, albeit eccentric in part. One of the design highlights of the show is bound to be the Honda Skydeck Concept.



This futuristic, airily named family van is clearly a long way removed from being a production-ready vehicle, yet it arouses more than just passing interest. With its windscreen blending into a glass roof, driver and passengers have an impression of unconstrained freedom. The seating too has been designed with leisure in mind. The front doors open upwards and the rear doors slide backwards. In other words, they're doors, Jim, but not as we know them. There is no B-pillar to impede ingress. And if you prefer to sit in the third row, you can push the second bench under the front seat. Under the bonnet, a hybrid PLUS engine provides an eco-friendly drive.
