New Car: June 2011

2011 Honda Jazz

2011 Honda Jazz

The original Honda Jazz model was launched in 2002 and since then has proven to be the leader in its class. The name itself invokes a sense of fun and coolness as for its namesake. The original model won numerous awards and attracted customers from a wide spectrum of drivers, ranging from teenagers to geriatrics this car had supreme mass market or universal appeal.

Thus the new model for this year has some big shoes to fill and although Honda hardly advertised it, the preorders were already piling up by the time the new model was first announced. Word of mouth and the strength of the Jazz reputation as well as branding were already so strong Honda managed to save a pretty penny on advertising. So what’s new in the new Jazz? How can one improve on an already near flawless design? Well to tell the truth, not much, the new Honda Jazz retains most of the features that made the original so widely popular amongst a large demographic whilst updating the exterior façade to keep up with current market preferences.

The engine from the original has been retained in its 1.4 liter form with minor tweaks and adjustments to pass stricter emission and pollution legislations in place in most countries as well as ensure acceptable fuel economy. All different models in the Jazz range retain the legendary steel heart engine of the original. As they say if it’s not broken don’t fix it. The already bulletproof engine required little change if any to improve it and it was a wise and sound decision by Honda to stick with it.

It is the bodywork that truly sets the new Honda Jazz apart from previous models. Although the silhouette of the original remains, closer examination of the car reveals a surprisingly sleeker aerodynamic body with a wind cheating shape that serves to reduce drag coefficient and increase fuel efficiency. Also the latest Jazz boasts twin projector headlamps and new improved rear led lighting echoing Honda’s current line of cars such as the Honda City and Honda Civic. Another major improvement over the previous model is of course the as the clever use of space to increase boot capacity whilst retaining a petite profile. The boot compartment of the new Jazz model is noticeably larger than the previous Jazz.

When it comes to the Pony Car Wars, rivals Chevy and Ford have always taken things seriously, with the Mustang Shelby GT500 currently wearing the heavyweight title belt with its 550 horsepower engine that rockets the car from zero to sixty in 3.7 seconds.

Rising to Ford’s challenge is the Camaro ZL1 that was unveiled earlier this year in Chicago with a preliminary 550 horsepower — equal to that of the GT500. However, being that the ZL1 is also expected to be the heavier car, it would seem that 550 horsepower may not be enough to outpace the lighter GT500. But according to a report from Camaro5, the ZL1 may produce much more than the initial 550 horsepower that was announced, which to us sounds like just what the doctor ordered. We will have to wait until the end of the year to find out for sure.

2012 Hyundai Sonata

2012 Hyundai Sonata

The 2012 Hyundai Sonata is only getting into possession of few final touches before its launch but it has already caught the eyes of millions of people around the world. The end of the year 2011 has a huge surprise for Honda lovers with the launch of 2012 Hyundai Sonata. The 2012 Sonata is a five-door auto machine with a cargolicious rear end.

The South Korea’s largest automaker has for over six generations grown into a larger platform for the manufacturing and sale of automobiles that are a paradigm of masculine power and high-performance. The 2012 Hyundai Sonata has come to be qualified as a large car as far the EPA guidelines in the United States is concerned. Hyundai Sonata 2012 competes against the various high-performance and technologically embellished cars manufactured by large manufacturing units like Honda, Ford, Mercury, Subaru, Chevrolet, Nissan, Suzuki, Toyota et cetera.

The first ever Sonata that came into the market was a simple yet robust impulsive machine with four cylinder engines for the sake of comfortable driving. With the manufacturing and launch of more Sonata cars, the number of cylinders increased. They were closely associated with the third and fourth generation cars. Even after a distressing hit on the style of the third and fourth generation cars launched by Hyundai, the company has stepped over the debris of obscurity of their functional simplicity and value and the tormenting reputation for reliability through the manufacturing of the new 2012 Sonata Hyundai.

The new 2012 Sonata appeals to the eye with a completely new styled body that is clean of any complex details. It boats off a much larger passenger cabin, highly powerful four cylinders with a V-6 on board along with several other features that make it attractive as one of the authoritative vehicles in the class of automobiles manufactured by the brand company. The Sonata 2012 carries a dramatic styling that is new, different and uncommon in various other cars. It features a “fluidic sculpture” theme with an added advantage of a more enthusiastic feel that pours out of riding and handling of the brand new car. This, however, comes splat on the face of Ford Fusion and Nissan Altima.
