Miami Drivers Choose the Honda Insight for Efficiency and Price

With the growing competition of hybrid vehicles on the market, it gets hard for consumers to choose which is the right fuel-efficient car for them. Every hybrid seems to offer something different- style, design, extras ect… But essentially they all deliver the same result, environment friendly motors. Some of the hottest hybrids on the market include the Toyota Prius, Honda Insight, Civic Hybrid and the Ford Fusion. The 2010 Honda Insight comes in as the cheapest of the hybrids with a starting price of $19,800. You will pay at least $1,500 more for the Toyota Prius, which has a starting/base price of $22,400. The 2010 Ford Fusion comes in as the most expensive of the group with a base price of $ 27,625.

Although the 2010 Honda Insight is known for its tight backseat space, its affordable price and excellent fuel economy more than make up for it. The Honda Insight also scores significantly high in Crash test results, earning 5 and 4 stars for driver, passenger, side impact, and rollover resistance. EPA mileage for the Honda Insight is 40mpg city and 43mpg highway. The Insight has Honda's Integrated Motor Assist system, which uses a small electric motor (13 horsepower) to supplement the 98-horsepower gasoline engine, which runs nearly all the time except when the vehicle comes to a stop, such as at a traffic signal. There is no doubt that the Insight is the most practical hybrid car on the market. As for the Insight, even the base LX is well equipped at its under-$20,000 price. Standard are front seat-mounted side air bags, roof-mounted side-curtain air bags for both rows, antilock brakes, continuously variable automatic transmission, automatic climate control, tilt-and-telescopic steering column, manual driver's seat height adjustment, power windows and door locks, a four-speaker AM/FM audio system with CD player and auxiliary input for iPods and other music players, and more. The EX comes with everything available on the Insight, with the most expensive model running just $23,100; in comparison, the 2010 Prius ranges from $22,400 to $27,670 plus $750 freight and the buyer's choice from a list of options.

Did we mention this hybrid is a Honda? Honda’s are known for their reliability, affordability and safety. Rest assure that your hybrid will last you for longer than you bargained for. Be sure to stop by your local Miami Dealership to check out the new Honda Insight.

Millions Couldn't be Wrong: Honda is Tops for Quality Autos, Miami Drivers Agree

This survey monitors consumer confidence in mainstream car brands. Honda has placed in this survey for many years running. In the words of James Clark, ALG's general manager, (Honda has) "maintained a long history of durable and reliable powertrains, which resonates with consumers and often leads them to rate other characteristics like safety and design positively as well."

Honda: Leading Fuel Efficient Car in Miami

On Friday, November 20, 2009, the Environmental Protection Agency announced its preliminary figures for the most efficient vehicles in 2009.  It was no surprise to hear that Honda Motor Co. has the most fuel-efficient line of vehicles in the United States. All Honda vehicles sold in 2009 are expected to average 23.6 miles per gallon in driving. Not far behind Honda were Hyundai and Toyota, each with 23.4 mpg and 23.2 mpg respectively. Honda has launched new vehicles for its up coming model year, such as the 2010 Honda Insight and followed by the 2011 Honda CR-Z hybrid. These vehicles are expected to be popular buys among young adults in urban cities, such as Miami. Honda also plans on keeping its reputation by future sales of a Honda Fit Hybrid. Honda is most known for its Civic and Accord models but has been determined to bring new model line ups to the market. There is no doubt Honda has made some good decisions that are evidently paying off.  Be sure to stop by your local Miami Honda dealership to see the latest model lineups Honda has to offer.

Honda Introduces New Vision to the World; Miami Honda lovers await

If you're a car lover or a Honda fanatic, then make sure to mark the week of December 2 on your calendar. That week is the week of the Los Angeles Car Show, and during that week, Honda will reveal just a little more of its vision of the future of automobiles, when it reveals its Personal Neo-Urban Transport concept to the world. Traditionally, concept car presentations are not always "rough drafts" for future vehicles, but can instead represent a company's vision for society's future relationship with automotive technology. If you use the most recent displays by automakers as examples, then it is obvious that carmakers envision the future as an urban, efficient, compact one- and the name Honda "Personal-Neo Urban Transport" (yes, P-NUT) seems to evoke all those qualities.  We have no clue what the P-NUT actually looks like, except that it is an "ultra-compact, agressively designed coupe", and it follows the introduction of concepts like Honda's Skydeck and CR-Z (both pictured here).

If you don't want to wait several years for the ideas presented in concepts to hit the streets, why not look into getting your own futuristic car right now? Honda has several "cars of the future" on sale now. Whether you prefer futuristic styling (the Honda Fit) or futuristic technology (Honda Insight), Honda has something for you. You can get a quick quote on the Honda of your choice in less than 8 minutes time from BrickellHondaDirect.com, or visit Brickell Honda of Miami- Miami's favorite car dealership- in person to see the future for yourself. And for you car enthusiats- we will have more information on the P-NUT as it comes.

Honda Passes Safety Test for 2010

Only 27 new vehicles made the list for the safest cars of 2010. In 2009, 94 vehicles made the list for top safety cars, which are 67 less than this year. Apparently the safety rating got a lot tougher, like the addition of a new roof strength requirement. The roof strength requirement aims to protect passengers against rollover crashes. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety added the roof strength test to address the increasing circumstances where people are injured or killed in accidents.

Honda not only got one of its vehicles to make the top 27 list, but two. The Honda Civic and the Honda Element were two of the Honda vehicles that performed very well on these rigorous safety tests. The Honda Accord missed the list by a synch due to minor details. The Institute named 19 cars and eight sport-utility vehicles as the top safety vehicles for 2010. Among them are the Audi A3, Honda Civic, Dodge Journey and Ford Taurus. Among major automakers with no top picks is Toyota Motor Corp. Toyota's Camry came close with good front, side and rollover protection, but fell short in the rear-impact test. To become a top safety pick, a vehicle has to have the insurance group's top rating of "good" in front, side, rollover and rear-impact crash tests and also have electronic stability control, which helps drivers maintain control of their vehicles in situations that might otherwise result in crashes.

Roof strength has long been a point of contention between the Insurance Institute and the auto industry, as well as among safety experts. Carmakers have never been fond of roof strength testing because they say these test do not show a conclusive relationship between roof strength and occupant safety. Carmakers also conclude that roof strength testing does not show how well a vehicles structure performs in crash collisions. A representative of the Institute, Mr. Lund, responded by stating that their research on rollover crashes showed that weaker vehicles roofs more often than not result in death.

Honda has been known for over a decade for its reliable and safe vehicles and once again has been recognized for it. Make sure to stop by your local Miami dealership to test drive your safe Honda vehicle.

Looking for an auto deal? Black Friday may be the Best Time to Get Deals on a Car, Truck, or SUV

According to recently released research from TrueCar.com "the authority on car pricing", Black Friday is the best day of the year to buy a new car- this may come as a shock for many who may think only think of Black Friday as a day to purchase TV's, computers, and clothes. TrueCar.com's research reveals that car buyers are likely to pay about 3% less for a car than they would on any average day during the rest of the year, thanks to manufacturer's incentives and dealership discounts. Experts believe that this trend is caused by dealers who want to get in on the Black Friday madness, and many dealers say that they produce incentives to stand out from the noise in consumer markets.

Black Friday isn't the only day to get a good deal on a Honda, GMC, or Buick at Brickell Motors of Miami. As a matter of fact, you can get your Black Friday shopping done early at Brickell, because when you buy any new vehicle at Brickell, you will receive a FREE 42" Plasma TV!

Black Friday: Best Day to Buy Your new Miami Honda Car

Black Friday is typically one of the busiest days in retail store history. Many people go shopping for clothes, electronics, and toys to find the greatest deals and steals of the year. Now you can find new vehicles on Black Friday for the same amount of added discounts. According to research done by the website Truecar.com, discounts for new vehicles on average are the biggest of the year on the day after Thanksgiving. Analysts looked at the day-by-day car pricing for the last several years, which pointed to Black Friday being the best day to purchase vehicles. "The discounts from dealerships, as well as manufacturers' incentives, generate the highest discounts of the year on Black Friday," said Jesse Toprak, an analyst for Truecar.com.

Local Miami Dealerships See a Rise in Sub-compact Car Sales

It seems like people are falling away from the big muscle car trend that we saw not too long ago. Those gas-guzzling vehicles are no longer on the radar for many due to fuel-efficient vehicles. Top sales analyst, George Pipas, predicts sales of small cars to keep increasing. Pipas named a couple of factors that could be contributing to this such as government policies and gas prices. The government has recently come up with many policies encouraging the use of more fuel-efficient vehicles, like the Cash for Clunkers Bill that was passed earlier on this year. The high price for gas these days has also led people to purchase a car that has better mileage. Small cars currently account for 21 percent of all US vehicle sales and these numbers are predicted to increase to 36 percent in 2013.

Carmakers, such as Ford, Honda, and Nissan, are coming up with new model lineups for the coming year that are small in size. Ford has found much success with its compact car the Ford Focus. Honda has also seen much success from the Honda Civic and Insight, which are both small sub-compact cars. Honda has also recently come out with the Accord Crosstour, which is expected to do significantly well in the market. Make sure to visit your local Miami Dealership and take a look at compact cars in their showroom. Now is the time to purchase a new or used small compact car before prices go up.

In the news today: Some Folks Really Love Hondas.

Aleh Kot, a 32-year old Massachusetts man, went into a Honda dealership Thursday afternoon with the intent on test-driving a brand-new black 2010 Honda Accord.

The salesman who assisted him probably didn't know just how desperately this man wanted to get behind the wheel of a brand-new 2010 Accord. When the salesman thought that the test drive may have gone just a bit too long, and finally asked Kot to turn around, Kot refused to stop and continued to drive.... and drive, and drive- at speeds up to 120 miles per hour. The salesman eventually jumped out of the car when Kot slowed down at a toll booth near the Massachusetts state line- but Kot did not stop driving. Kot continued to drive until he was stopped in Wisconsin, and had racked up a number of charges, including kidnapping, unarmed robbery, speeding, and larceny of a motor vehicle. He is currently awaiting extradition from Wisconsin to Massachusetts.

If YOU would like to get your hands on a new Honda Civic, then Miami's Brickell Honda will have no problem letting you take a test drive- as long as it's not a 1000-mile version.

The Secret Behind Hybrid Cars Near You

The hype for driving fuel-efficient vehicles continues to drive vehicle sales, as seen with the newer versions of hybrid cars being introduced by carmakers. Every automobile maker must come out with a new hybrid line for the coming year if it wants to succeed in the industry. But why are hybrids so popular? Everyone knows that hybrids are the “green” products of the future by using electricity to achieve good gas mileage. But many fail to think about costs, savings, and the technology put into a hybrid. Do these factors still make the hybrid an appealing choice?

Although electric motors are efficient at accelerating, they are costly, heavy and take up a lot of space in a car. As a result, automakers came out with a hybrid vehicle. What makes a hybrid so appealing is the fact that it uses two powertrains, an electric motor and a gasoline engine, that draw power from a battery pack. The large battery pack is recharged by the gas engine and energy recouped from the brakes. Hybrids have their faults as well. The dual drivetrain found in the fuel efficient vehicles can be more expensive than a traditional gas engine alone, the battery pack takes up space, and the pack adds weight to the vehicle.

Hybrids offer significant gas savings for drivers. The Honda Civic Hybrid returns 37 mpg, while the Toyota Camry hybrid returns 34 mpg. In terms of emissions, hybrids typically produce 29 percent less smog-forming nitrogen oxide than conventional cars, according to a study by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy. And every gallon of gas saved reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 19 pounds, which reduces global warming.

Most of the information gathered was taken from a Consumer Reports article on Hybrids. Make sure to visit your local Miami dealership to see what hybrids they are offering and which ones fit your tastes.

The Honda Crosstour's Interior Design makes for a Comfortable Ride

With all of the hype about the exterior design of the 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour, it's a wonder that not too many people have given thought to the interior design of the the new automobile. After a first look inside the new Honda Crosstour, it is obvious the interior is quite impressive: it has a versatile, upscale 5-passenger interior with an innovative rear storage area, which functions as a "trunk" to keep goods away from prying eyes. The rear storage area features an innovative 8-inch deep under-floor Hidden Removable Utility Box with a reversible lid, featuring both plush-carpeted and durable-plastic sides. Levers near the interior fender wells, conveniently accessible from the tailgate opening, which allows for one-touch conversion of the seats into the floor for additional cargo space.

"Honda has a longstanding reputation for maximizing interior space and utility in its vehicles," said Erik Berkman, vice president of corporate planning and logistics for American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "Like the award-winning Honda Fit, the Accord Crosstour uses a versatile design to create an interior that functions with the practicality of a larger vehicle."

GM Looks to Redeem Itself with its Two New Vehicles

General Motors is in the midst of introducing its two newest additions to the GM lineup in dealership showrooms next year. The two new vehicles are the Buick Regal and the Chevy Cruze. GM is targeting new customers in hopes of turning around the market and make themselves a household name once again.

The 2011 Buick Regal is an all-new sedan that is much like its kin the 2010 Buick LaCrosse. The 5-passenger Regal Sedan has already been receiving 5 star safety ratings in Europe and China. The Regal will feature three different four-cylinder engines and the first models will have the 2.4-liter direct-injection engine. The sportier and smaller version of the LaCrosse will hit the market next spring and is aimed to attract more fuel-conscious drivers.

Another eagerly awaited Sedan introduced by GM is the Chevy Cruze. The 2011 Chevy Cruze is aimed to go against the 2012 Ford Focus, Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic, and Nissan Sentra. The Cruze, which has already been introduced in Europe and Asia, has already started to see good reviews. The Cruze is powered by a turbocharged and direct-injected 1.4-liter engine that will offer fuel efficiency as high as 40 miles per gallon, with the same power as the 2.4-liter engine in today's 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt.

Make sure to stop by your local Miami GM Dealership to see these latest additions of the GM family. Sales for these two vehicles are expected to be high so make sure to see them before its too late.

2010 Honda Pilot- Miami's Gentle Giant

The Rise in Demand for Used Cars affects Sales in Miami Dealerships

The main focus on dealership sales usually comes from new vehicles yet now more than ever, people are looking for used vehicles. According to Edmunds.com, used vehicle prices jumped to an average of 16 percent in October compared to last year. It seems consumers are willing to pay for used cars at whatever the cost may be, well at least to a certain extent. A lot of factors can be the cause for such high demands of used car vehicles, especially when supply is low. One reason might be the most recent incentive proposed by the government, Cash for Clunkers. Reports estimated that around 700,000 older vehicles that were traded in during the incentive were destroyed. These vehicles could have been potentially sold in the used car market for a good price. Now, new car sales are down and fewer customers are willing to trade in their used vehicles.

Demand for used vehicles seems to be going up due to the economic state. Traditional car buyers are not in the economic state to be purchasing new vehicles and since then have been on the market for used vehicles. More people are saving money and putting cash down on used vehicles. The fact that the credit market remains tight makes it difficult for buyers to finance new vehicles. Finding quality used vehicles has also raised a problem for these high demands.  Buyers have to shop around and find a dealership that is offering certified and quality used vehicles. Many dealerships are starting to feature their used vehicles and lowering prices in order to attract more customers. Be sure to check around for the best deals local dealerships are offering before you make a decision.

Honda Introduces Long-Awaited Pricing on 2010 Crosstour

Today, Honda announced that its new crossover, the All-New Accord Crosstour, will have a MSRP of $29,670, and will carry an additional destination and handling charge of $710. Honda also released pricing for other models of the new vehicle: the Honda Crosstour EX-L will have an MSRP of $32,570, and and the Navi version of this Crosstour is priced at MSRP $34,770 . All-wheel drive versions start around $34,020; a Navi version of this will start around $36,220.
The Crosstour is Honda's latest vehicle release in the US, and some experts compare it to Toyota's Venza. However, the Crosstour is incomparable to any other automobile anyone else has ever produced, except for Honda Accord, which is the platform Crosstour is built upon. Experts have already compared the Crosstour's comfort, smoothness in ride and handling, and overall utility to the Accord, but have noted the Crosstour's unique features and usage of space. These same experts and critics have also noticed the wide range of features available on the Ohio-built automobile, whether under the hood, inside the cabin, or on the exterior of the vehicle.

The Internet drives Pre-Owned vehicle sales

There is no doubt that the Internet has changed the way consumers make everyday choice and purchases. Technology has made it easier for people to buy items with just a click. These trends seem to be affecting the purchase of pre-owned cars all over the U.S. According to a report by J.D Power and Associates, Internet shopping for used vehicles is the primary method for locating used vehicles.   The report tells us that 31 percent of buyers found their vehicle on the Internet, compared with 28 percent of buyers who found their vehicle by visiting the dealership.  Awareness of Certified Pre-owned vehicles on the Internet has gone up as well; more than 60 percent of used-vehicle buyers have indicated that they intend on purchasing certified pre-owned vehicles at the start of their search.  The study examined overall customer satisfaction and revealed that import luxury brands provide the highest levels of satisfaction, compared to other vehicles.

According to Kelly Blue Book, some of the most popular searched used vehicles include the 2007 Honda Accord, 2007 Toyota Camry, 2005 Nissan Altima, and the 2006 Honda Civic to name a few. Visit your local Miami dealership’s website to view their extensive line of certified used vehicles.
