4 x 4 Mini, Electric Volvo & A new range of Hybrids…

A new year marks the beginning a whole new selection of motor shows. Its not long to go for the first one, based in Detroit, USA.

In 2010 we are expecting to most definately hear about the electric cars finally coming to be on sale but most definately the introduction of even more hybrid cars. In the new year, i’m sure there are going to be plenty of manufacturers showcasing what they have to offer in the electric car world and the hybrids. In the Detroit show there are going to be some big names showing off their fancy new hybrid cars. Volvo for one are going to be introducing their full electric car to come up against the BMW Active E which can be found here. Not much is known yet about the Volvo, all we do know is that its range is that of around 90 miles and can accelerate faster than a snail.

Honda are also going to introduce their new range of hybrid vehicles, promising to look sporty and drive sporty too! The biggest shock and talk of the show is no doubtly going to be the new 4 x 4 Mini Beachcomber. With totally new lights, grille, height and odd scoups in the bonnet, this car surely cannot be put into production at its current look, but we’ll see when its unveiled.

Toyota recalling nearly 700,000 cars?!

Toyota have announced they are going to recall around 690,000 cars that were made in China. The reason for this is because the electric window switches are said to be faulty. 4 models are affected in the recall, and fortunately there have been no accidents relating to the problems.

Its not only Toyota that are now having to recall cars. Not long ago Honda in America had to recall nearly 500,000 cars because of an airbag problem. A far bigger issue in my mind!

Bernard Bradley resigns as Honda Boss

Announced recently, the general manager on Honda UK has decided to move on. In a statement to the media, he claims that he will miss the company’s drive to succeed and has thoroughly enjoyed his time there. It sounds like it was a hard decision for Bradley to make.

In the mean time, a temporary manager from the Marketing department is going to take over Bradley’s former duties. Eventually a permanent manager will be found. If you have a honda and need insurance, contact Broadsure Direct at www.broadsuredirect.com .
