Cars Review
The Japanese company car builder has developed a large number of vehicle designs to market worldwide, yet has also built a vehicle whose sales pitch is specifically excluded for U.S. trade, it is the Cross tour Honda EX 2012, a car crossover and minivan body which will launch later this year or early next, based on this together, I invite you to know more about this car.
It has both the outside and inside a variety of technological devices that make it easier to use the model, for example on and off a fully automatic which ultimately serves as a great tool for those who forget where we put our keys at some time, plus the entertainment could not miss the squares of the 2012 Honda EX Cross tour, find out why.
Technological adaptations in the cockpit.
The function box is surrounded and permeated many fun details to use in fact have hands-free link to HandsFreeLink also has Bluetooth connectivity and a number of USB ports to exchange information or listen to your favorite music while enjoying the ride, we must noted that the 2012 Honda EX Cross tour is a car at all boring.
Mechanical data for 2012.
Under the 2012 edition of the Honda EX Cross tour aims directly under the hood assembled a six-cylinder engine of about 3.5 liters vie and ability to attend a development equivalent to 271 horsepower, yet the method has to suspend some of its cylinders for the operation more economical and equally efficient in certain situations.
To “protect” the trade balance, Interior Commerce Secretary Guillermo Moreno, and the Minister of Industry, Debora Giorgio, customs barriers placed (non-automatic licensing) to import to different sectors of the economy. The officials quickly pointed their fingers at the automotive sector, which until last year maintained a trade deficit of $ S 5,800 million, according to official data.
The Government called on automakers and dealers and told them that they would govern the plan “One on One” to foreign trade. That is, should make every dollar exported import another to try to reduce the deficit of the sector. For imports to enter the country should present a plan for what to buy and sell justifying and from other countries so that their products are not bravados for months in customs waiting for an entry permit.
The stage was divided into “local” and “import”. The auto companies with local production plant (such as Ford, Fiat, General Motors and PSA Peugeot Citroen) rebalance your purchases with more involvement of local parts, capital contributions and proposals to develop new models.
But so far eight firms that are net importers of finished vehicles should “appeal to wit” and start selling other types of products such as soy, corn, wine and even peanuts to get their vehicles into the country. The operation is not about increasing supply, but the purchase and resale of local productions in order to improve the trade balance itself. That is, does not imply real growth of sect oral productivity. The most resonant publicized by the Ministry of Industry are:

Toyota Pries Hybrid Electric introduces its Plug, the first PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) brand. We know another family member, the Pries hybrid, but how is this version? The truth is that we’ll know soon, since its world premiere will take place during the Frankfurt Motor Show 2011.
The new model has a plug-in lithium ion battery improved, which will allow a range worthy of the electric mode. In turn, Toyota has managed so well that its new model only consumes 2.2 l/100 km and emits 49g/km of CO2.
This is a step closer to Toyota in its mission to achieve sustainable and environmentally friendly cars. In the beginning developed the Hybrid Synergy Drive gives life to the Pries, is further improved to arriving at the latest technology ”Full Hybrid”. The efficient gasoline hybrid system gives the vehicle a wide range and still have the same fuel consumption reduced standard pries.
This is a car designed for either friendly mobility and urban short trips or long road trips.
Today, the Japanese are including this technology ”Full Hybrid” in other models such as the Auras and Yards, but the Pries remains the pioneer and the center of attention.
The major Chinese Internet search engine, Badu, also announced an agreement with automaker BMW to offer Internet services in some vehicles the German company’s first foray into the technology business in the automotive sector. Badu and BMW to cooperate and provide inside cars online services that include maps, news and email, reports the China Daily state newspaper.
Chinese search engine, which concentrates 80% of the searches of the 485 million Internet users in the country, said it will seek similar deals with other automakers to also offer this service on their vehicles. To better understand what this new trend in automotive, Mash able has reviewed the key points of these cars connected with various experts, but from the standpoint of the consumer. An analysis that reviews the current status of the connected car market and where we take this trend into the future.
1. What are they?
The cars are connected, in essence, the “modern car”. In fact, most cars sold today allow connection to Bluetooth, so there is already some kind of connectivity there. But there are different meanings for cars online, as the connection may come from mobile devices, integrated systems or transmission services. And these connections can serve to access emergency services or security, traffic information or weather, navigation, news, search engines, online, radio and more.
2. What trends should be followed closely?
All trends related to the connected cars are to provide solutions for drivers to enjoy their trips. While connected cars began as a trend exclusive luxury vehicles, the evolution of these services wills the new features to the mass market with the same services of luxury cars, but much cheaper or even free. It is the biggest innovation in the market has been the democratization of technology to integrate all segments of cars.
Another trend to note, though still in its infancy, is connectivity as an accessory, that is, connect vehicles without an integrated system. Also, do not forget the integration of road maps on multiple channels such as interactive voice recognition, in-vehicle units, mobile and online portals, among others.
3. Who is building cars online today?
Ford, GM, BMW, Hyundai and Toyota are developing vehicles online and in many cases, these manufacturers have either been the ones who created this new market, or have managed to make it evolve to provide new solutions, designs and capabilities.
4. Who buys cars online?
There is no empirical data yet on the demographics of car buyers online, but we can say that the age of the users or subscribers to the service connection in the car is lower and lower, in response to increasing affordable access to these services. Some also divide the buyers of these cars into four groups: affluent consumers, fans of technology, parents who go to and fro in the car and Generation Y.

BMW, infected with rivals in the U.S. market for the category of Toyota and Honda, just called to review all models manufactured between 2007 and 2010 that have been released related to the famous N54 engine.
