On hand for the car’s debut, American Honda Motor Co. Executive VP John Mendel pointed out the Accord’s unprecedented 26 times it has been named to Car & Driver’s Top 10 car of the year list.

To help deliver improved fuel economy across the range, all Accord models will get Honda’s ECO Assist button.

This gas engine uses Honda’s Variable Cylinder Management to save fuel for what Honda expects to be class-leading mpg numbers.

A new two-motor plug-in hybrid system will be available on the Accord sedan, but not the coupe. Otherwise, Accord is full of technology for the new model year, including Lane Departure Warning and Forward Collision Warning.

Both the Accord Sedan and the Accord Coupe models are expected to achieve class-leading fuel economy ratings and will be available with a number of innovative new safety and technological features.

Design and Packaging

The Accord Coupe Concept features an athletic styling direction for Honda's best-selling model. The Accord Coupe Concept's 20-inch, machine-finished, 5-spoke wheels contribute to its solid stance. While the Accord Coupe will remain similarly sized, the Accord Sedan will feature a more compact exterior footprint, adding to its sportier appearance.

In the gasoline-electric hybrid mode, the Accord is powered by its fuel-efficient 2.0-liter, i-VTEC inline four-cylinder, Atkinson cycle engine, paired with an electric Continuously Variable Transmission (E-CVT). The Accord Plug-In Hybrid will launch next winter.

Safety and Technological Innovations

Saab 9-5 SportWagon review 2012

                                                                 Saab 9-5 SportWagon



2012 Saab 9-5 SportWagon At more than five metres long there’s plenty of space for passengers and luggage. There’s plenty of clever load-securing options, and standard equipment is generous no matter which trim level you opt for. Saab 9-5 Sport Wagon is not as good as the Volvo V70 and Mercedes E-Class Wagon known in the market, but still shows. A diesel Saab 9-5 Sport Wagon is recommended, with 2.0 TTiD 187bhp and 400 Nm at 1750 rpm. Unlike the sedan 9-5, the Sport Wagon is indicated with a rear camera to maneuver in tight spaces easier.

Saab 9-5 Sport Wagon is cheaper than almost all competitors as the BMW 5 Series Touring and the Audi A6 Avant. Not as big as the Audi A6 and Mercedes E-Class wagon, but there are places instead of the Saab 9-5 Sport Wagon with 527 liters of luggage, and when folded this court after growing in an area 1600 liters cargo. Because the mass to the Sport Wagon offers a rear view camera for easy maneuvering.

Standard entry level Saab 9-5 Sport Wagon is equipped with electronic stability control and traction, six airbags, passenger airbag deactivation and active headrests. Saab's XWD all-wheel drive system will likely be offered on V6 Aero models, and the full suite of optional goodies like adaptive cruise control and bi-xenon headlamps will be available for a price.

2012 prius v power level

                                                                  2012 toyota prius v





As we reported before, the 2012 prius v is longer and taller than the familiar Prius hatchback, which will continue to be sold alongside the V. Cargo space is increased by about 60 percent.

Need more cargo space? In Europe and Japan, Toyota offers a version that offers a tiny third seat. It sits in the space under the rear cargo floor. The Prius v gets the same hybrid power train as the standard Prius, based around an electric motor and 1.8-liter gasoline engine, and the driving feel is very much the same. We might have been skeptical about Toyota's decision to expand the Prius brand, but judging from the Prius v, it should be a success.

As a 2008 Toyota Prius owner, I've been on the hybrid-loving bandwagon for a while now. Enter the all-new 2012 Toyota Prius v with more cargo space than the Prius and it gets 42 mpg city/highway combined.

The Prius v Two is the base trim level and priced at $26,400. Take a step up to the Prius v Three and navigation and Toyota's new Entune multimedia system are added for the price of $27,165. My test car, a Prius v Five, cost $29,990.

While the 2012 Prius v looks a lot like its smaller sibling, the Prius, the body shape reminds me of the Mazda5, a mini-minivan. The Prius v was designed with families in mind. Case in point: the small steps leading to the second-row seats. These three small steps are perfectly placed for the smaller, car-seat-riding crew.

Yes, the Prius v's step-in height is a tad higher than the regular Prius, but that made loading the littlest ones into their child-safety seats easier on my back.
The Prius v's shining star is the enormous cargo area. It has 58 percent more cargo

The Prius V utilizes the same hybrid technology as the regular Prius. The Prius v's interior was exceptionally comfortable and super functional. Toyota got it right when naming the v for versatility. Included with the speedometer were the fuel level, battery level, miles driven, miles left, time, power moade, power level and gear.

2012 honda cr-v suv review


                                                                      2012 honda cr-v suv



With 29 models in the crossover segment, the competition between vehicles is fierce. To make the 2012 Honda CRV stand out from the crowd, Honda has refined its best-selling SUV and dubbed it the "Super CR-V." The 2012 Honda CRV exterior features a bigger grille and a more sculpted body.
The redesigned interior of the 2012 Honda CR-V.

Standard Pandora integration and audio text messages
Following other competitors' lead, Honda has made a few tech features standard equipment on the CR-V. The CR-V LX base model now includes Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free calling, and all vehicles now include a rear-view camera and in-dash display to help visibility while in reverse. Pandora application integration is a standard feature in the 2012 Honda CR-V.

The 2012 Honda CR-V will read out-loud text-messages.
The EX-L trim adds leather seats, heated front passenger seats, and audio features. The navigation system is available at this trim level, as is the optional rear entertainment system. More convenient cargo space
The 2012 Honda CR-V's cargo floor is an inch lower than the previous generation's, which makes it easier to load groceries, luggage, and strollers. The 2012 Honda CR-V offers a new "one-touch" fold flat feature.

More power, better fuel economy
Unlike several other competitors, Honda offers only one power-train option for the CR-V: a 2.4-liter engine paired with a five-speed automatic transmission. The 2012 Honda CR-V offers Eco Assist to help coach drivers on more efficient driving.
For comparison's sake, the 2012 Toyota Rav4 achieves 22 city/28 mpg on FWD models and 21 city/27 mpg 4WD models, while Ford's Escape offers only 21/23

(six-speed automatic).
To appeal to fuel misers, the CR-V also offers standard Eco Assist and Econ mode. The CR-V offered a smooth yet nimble ride for a crossover, but it definitely won't feel like you're driving a sedan. Front-wheel-drive CR-Vs now get 23 mpg in the city and 31 on the highway, while models with the optional full-time all-wheel-drive are rated at 22 mpg and 30 mpg, respectively.

The CR-V's power is just enough for nearly any kind of daily driving you'll encounter. The CR-V's only shortcoming on the road is the gearing of the automatic transmission. Ford's Escape finally knocked the CR-V off its throne in 2011. This hurt sales of many of its vehicles, including the previous CR-V.

The rest of the CR-V's interior is straightforward and adorned only by necessity. Seating in the CR-V is a comfortable affair, if you're up front. But the rear seats and their church-pew flat seat backs left a little to be desired over long rides. Also nifty is an all-new flip-and-fold feature for the rear seats that's standard on all CR-Vs. The result is an almost flat cargo area that swallows just under 71 cubic feet of gear, a small decrease from the previous CR-V.

It too is a more complete, mature look versus the previous CR-V. Safety features on all CR-Vs includes six air bags, traction control, anti-lock brakes and a tire pressure monitoring system.

In preliminary EPA tests, Honda also reports that the Civic Hybrid’s fuel economy has increased to 44/44 mpg city/highway, up from the 2011 model’s 40/43 mpg city/highway.
