Honda CR-Z Sport car

"Japanese technology" has probably been one of the most prominent terms of the last two decades. Not many countries have achieved such rapid recognition in the field of technology when compared to Japan. Through it all, one company has been making more news for all the right reasons than any other company in Japan and that is Honda, a name almost synonymous with Japanese technology. Ever since the decline (sort of) of Toyota, Honda as a car manufacturer has automatically been crowned the Japanese leader. We already know that Honda is the largest manufacturer of motorcycles in the world today. If we look at the bigger picture and consider the growth of Honda over the years, we might be looking at the world leader among car manufacturers as well.

Honda as a car manufacturer is renowned for innovative technology, high performance vehicles that are fuel efficient and low on maintenance. These factors have probably fueled Honda's rise to the top. The image of Honda as a car maker in of the top tier and after spreading its network across the globe slowly, Honda is now an important player in most global car markets. Ranked among the top 5 car manufacturers in the world today, there is a very real possibility that Honda will in the next few years reach the top of the tree.

Sport Cars Style

The great thing about these models is that their prices are competitive and the designs are innovative, when compared to some of the overseas models. It is hard to beat the attractive features that are on the 2011 or 2012 Ford Mustangs, featuring 6 cylinder or 8 cylinder options and at a price under $30,000 for a basic model. Of course, there are all kinds of optional equipment features and you can get these modern "pony cars" in a sporty convertible model. This is just one example, but you will find the pricing attractive on the other American-made sports cars, such as the Dodge Charger or the Chevy Camaro.

You cannot leave out the fact that attention to detail is improved, along with design changes that are innovative and competitive. It used to be these racy and sporty models were too expensive for the average consumer and little attention was paid to comfortable and additional features. In an evaluation of American sports cars, it is easy to see that adding comfortable interiors and offering all kinds of options has been considered, making these new "muscle cars" a good value. Reliability is enhanced, as the US-automakers strive to win back the original loyal customers, they once had.

It is hard not to notice the new versions of these vintage classics, once you see them fully loaded, driving down the road. If you have seen the sportiest version of the new 2011 Ford Mustang, with a rumbling 8-cylinder engine, you will see what we mean. Appearances are greatly enhanced for that classic design, with modern upgrades that make these newest models more futuristic than other models on the market. In an evaluation of American sports cars, it is easy to see how they might be poised to make a comeback and they have the good looks that are required to become one of the most popular models.

USA sport cars

When you are considering your next car, you might want a model that is sporty and fun, with plenty of power. In an evaluation of the American sports cars, you will see that many of the US-made models are retro-futuristic. What this means to consumers is that you can take advantage of the sporty and fun ride of the original classic "muscle cars", but you get better mileage and handling than the traditional vintage models, with just as much power.

In an evaluation of the American sports cars, there are some that are obviously similar to their predecessors, from several decades ago. Consider the new 2011 and 2012 Ford Mustang, Dodge Charger or Chevy Camaro, for example. They are futuristic replicas of the muscle cars from the 60's and 70's, offering 8-cylinder horsepower with fuel efficiency that meets the Federal guidelines. The interior design is sporty, yet built for convenience and comfort. The exterior is racy and sleek. In an evaluation of the American sports cars, you have to notice the obvious connection to the most popular sports cars of the past.

2010 VolksWagen Cars Beetle Bio-Bug Powered by Sewage Waste

Mohammed Saddiq, general manager of GENeco, has another idea, which would take something that's normally thought of as waste, and turn it into a way to power a vehicle. The prototype  2010 VolksWagen Cars Beetle Bio-Bug is powered by methane gas which is produced from human waste at sewage works. Another environmentally friendly car has been shown to the world today by Wessex Water in England.

2010 VolksWagen Cars Beetle Bio-Bug Powered by Sewage Waste. The Bio-Bug is a project from Wessex Water, a sewage treatment company in England. Now there’s Bio-Bug, a VW Beetle that runs on the methane gas generated at a sewage treatment plant, reports The Telegraph. Wessex Water, near Bristol, England, says that human waste from the toilets of 70 homes can power the Bio-Bug for a year.

2010 VolksWagen Cars Beetle Bio-Bug Powered by Sewage Waste

GENeco believes that more gas will be produced at its Avonmouth site when the company embarks on its latest green venture to recycle food waste. Mr Saddiq said: “Waste flushed down the toilets in homes in the city provides power for the Bio-Bug, but it won’t be long before further energy is produced when food waste is recycled at our sewage works.

At first glance, the Beetle appears to be a publicity stunt for GENeco, which owns a number of waste treatment sites in the U.K. But consider this: A single sewage treatment plant in Bristol, England generates 18 million cubic meters of biogas each year. The Bio-Bug squeezes out 5.3 miles per cubic meter of biogas. So just one sewage treatment plant could keep cars running for 5,400,000 miles each year, according to the British Daily Mail.

The Volkswagen Beetle dubbed the “Bio-Bug” was built for GENeco by UK’s The Greenfuel Company. The Bio-Bug’s 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine was converted to run on biogas and still hit about 114 miles per hour. However, the Bio-Bug uses regular unleaded gas to start, then switches over to methane automatically once it’s running. GENeco, a company owned by Wessex Water, supplied the equipment to treat the gas. “If you were to drive the car you wouldn’t know it was powered by biogas, as it performs just like any conventional car,” said Mohammed Saddiq, general manager of GENeco, in the release.

Mr. Saddiq explained that GENeco had been supplying treated compressed methane gas to generate electricity for the plant site and exported to the National Grid. The fuel for the Bio-Bug was surplus gas “we had available” and “we wanted to put it to good use in a sustainable and efficient way.”

The Bio-Bug was built by the Greenfuel Company, which specializes in converting gas cars to run on liquified petroleum gas.

2010 VolksWagen Cars Beetle Bio-Bug Powered by Sewage Waste

“The choice of car was inspired by students who took part in a workshop. They thought it would be appropriate that the poo-powered car should be the classic VW Beetle Bug because bugs naturally breakdown waste at sewage works to start the treatment process which goes on to produce the energy.”

Brilliant! Now, that’s a great marketing hook.
