Check Out The 2009 Honda Skydeck Concept!

October 24th, 2009

Honda Skydeck Concept

We have talked a heck of a lot about all sorts of different cars in this particular blog but I believe that one car that stands out above the rest is the Honda Skydeck Concept – this concept car is actually going to be a hybrid car that is going to be bigger than all of the rest … and it looks pretty damn cool as well.

Honda right now is working very, very hard on this particular concept car as they are trying to come up with an extra electric motor to place into this car so it can have two motors to make it run all that much better – they are also trying to make the Honda Skydeck Concept a completely electric car, which at this point, we have only seen mini-cars as all electric.

Honda is making a pretty cool concept … and they are certainly making headway on the Honda Skydeck Concept!

Despite low take-rate, GM reportedly extending eBay experiment

September 3rd, 2009

Despite low take-rate, GM reportedly extending eBay experimentNow – I think that expecting people to buy something off of eBay is not unrealistic, however do I think that someone is going to buy a brand new flippin’ car off of eBay without ever seeing it, touching it, smelling it?  Nope!  I don’t and that is exactly why GM is going to eventually have to take down their little eBay store, however … despite the low, low, low take rate of these cars on eBay, GM is going to extend their experiment.

GM has listed somewhere around the lines of sixteen thousand new cars and trucks and only about fifty of those have sold … and probably to someone who does not really give a crap about how the car or truck runs and feels.  However, that is not the entire story.  Apparently, this is being used as sort of an overflow on the inventory side.

While GM is going to eventually come back strong, I think that they are taking it all wrong by going on eBay to sell their cars.

Direct Injection Technology: What Is It?

August 13th, 2009

ecoboostaction_06While I know a lot about cars – there was one technology that I did not particularly understand.  That technology is the direct injection technology.  This is an exciting new technology that truly allows car-lovers to have all of their cake along with their ice cream.  The great thing about this particular technology is that it actually improves fuel efficiency while increasing horsepower.

Increasing horsepower is something that automakers have been trying to do for years and years and now – direct injection is what can do it.  That is why so many automakers are embracing this incredible technology full-force.  To be honest, I think that every single new sports car’s engine actually contains this particular technology – and if it doesn’t, it will soon enough.

Direct injection technology is something that is so awesome – it increases fuel efficiency, produces lower emissions and gives off more power.  What could be better – seriously?
