			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hybrid technology has become all the rage. If you are thinking about an eco-friendly vehicle with the best in green technology then you can&#8217;t go wrong with the <a title="2010 Honda Insight Hybrid" href="http://blog.vinart.com/vehicles/honda/" target="_self">2010 Honda Insight Hybrid</a>.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="2010 Honda Insight Hybrid" src="http://production.autoconversion.net/images/featuredvehicles/honda-insight-hybrid-2010.jpg" alt="2010 Honda Insight Hybrid" width="340" height="215" /></p>
<p>One of the defining features of the 2010 Honda Insight Hybrid is Eco Assist. This trademarked technology is based on two functions:</p>
<ol>
<li>A sophisticated feedback system designed to teach you how to drive more efficiently;</li>
<li>and an ECON button designed to help you get better gas mileage.</li>
</ol>
<p>As if the estimated 41 combined mpg isn&#8217;t enough. That&#8217;s 40 in the city and 43 on the highway. And at less than $20,000 MSRP, that&#8217;s a bargain. You won&#8217;t have to be afraid of gas prices at the pump again.</p>
<p>Honda&#8217;s philosophy is to maximize machine performance with driver performance and it shows in design, drivability and fuel efficiency. This is one hybrid that will get non-green conscious drivers excited.</p>
<p>In addition to Eco Assist, Honda has put other state-of-the-art green technology into the Honda Insight. This includes the Integrated Motor Assist System. The smaller motor is designed to provide additional power and torque in assist mode and is small enough to sit between the engine and the transmission and function as a generater for the IMA during deceleration. It&#8217;s a unique feature that should excite all drivers.</p>
<p>The engine is a 1.3-liter i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine, which doesn&#8217;t sound like much, but remember &#8211; this is a hybrid. The transmission is standard CVT.</p>
<p>Accolades for the 2010 Honda Insight Hybrid have come from a variety of sources to include Kelley Blue Book, Edmunds, <em>Car &amp; Driver</em> magazine, <em>MotorTrend</em>, Union of Concerned Scientists and the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy, who named the 2010 Insight one of the greenest vehicles of 2010. Polk recognized Honda for having the highest owner loyalty of any auto brand and the <a title="2010 Honda Insight Hybrid" href="http://blog.vinart.com/vehicles/honda/" target="_self">2010 Honda Insight Hybrid</a> is a good reason why.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re ready to drive green and you&#8217;re looking for a vehicle that has it right then this is the vehicle for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Honda is one of the innovators in auto manufacturing entering into the 21st century. The evidence of this is the <a title="2011 Honda FCX Clarity" href="http://blog.vinart.com/vehicles/honda/" target="_self">2011 FCX Clarity</a>, an unusual vehicle in its use of fuel cell technology.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="2011 Honda FCX Clarity" src="http://production.autoconversion.net/images/featuredvehicles/honda-fcx-clarity-2011.jpg" alt="2011 Honda FCX Clarity" width="340" height="215" /></p>
<p>Fuel cell technology is a type of technology that converts a source fuel into electrical energy. There are a variety of types of fuel cell vehicles, but the Honda FCX Clarity is one that relies on hydrogen as the source fuel. In 2009 the FCX Clarity was named the World Green Car. It&#8217;s fuel efficiency is better than the average gasoline-powered vehicle and it achieves zero emissions, making it a true environmental enhancement to modern driving.</p>
<p>The first thing you&#8217;ll notice about the Clarity when you open the hood is there is no engine. The vehicle drive technology relies on a V Flow FC Stack. That&#8217;s a vertical flow fuel cell stack that enables the free flow of hydrogen and oxygen, which increases fuel efficiency and cleaner emissions.</p>
<p>Along with the innovation in revolutionary new emissions and under-the-hood technology, Honda has introduced a sleek new body design that puts a front wheel drive drivetrain on the first hydrogen-powered fuel-cell vehicle along with a lithium-ion battery for smoothness and maximum acceleration control. Honda introduced this technology in 1999 and has spent the last 11 years perfecting it so the 2011 FCX Clarity promises to be a true front runner.</p>
<p>As you drive the FCX Clarity you&#8217;ll feel like you are entering the future, and you really will be. Other auto manufacturers have not caught up with this technology and it will be a long time before they do. If driving green is on your mind, you&#8217;ve got to try the <a title="2011 FCX Clarity" href="http://blog.vinart.com/vehicles/honda/" target="_self">2011 FCX Clarity</a> by Honda.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Honda has once again outclassed its competition. With the <a title="2010 Honda Element SC" href="http://blog.vinart.com/vehicles/honda/" target="_self">2010 Honda Element SC</a> you get an SUV that is beyond practical, stylish and beautiful. Let&#8217;s start with the body.</p>
<p>Unlike most SUVs, Honda put the style back into sport. Not rounded or curvy, the Element is more like a box square, but that doesn&#8217;t mean boring.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="2010 Honda Element SC" src="http://production.autoconversion.net/images/featuredvehicles/honda-element-sc-2010.jpg" alt="2010 Honda Element SC" width="340" height="215" /></p>
<p>It rides low to the ground so you get some road hugging going on and with 18&#8243; alloy wheels you have plenty of grip. There&#8217;s lots of cargo space in the back too with the clamshell tailgate, a signature feature of the SC. The butterfly-style cargo doors also make it easy to load the back of the cab, a nice feature if you do a lot of backseat loading.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not really fair to call the Element SC an SUV. It only seats 4, but there is plenty of cargo area so you should just call it a sport cargo vehicle. Maybe that&#8217;s what the SC stands for?</p>
<p>The engine is a 2.4-liter, 16-valve 4-cylinder engine that cranks out 166 horsepower at 5,800 rpm and 161 pound feet of torque at 4,000 rpm, perfect for delivering impressive fuel economy. The 5-speed automatic transmission with its 5.6 quart crankcase can deliver 20 mpg in the city and 25 on the highway.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s go back to cargo space. The 2010 Honda Element SC brings 74.6 cubic feet of cargo space to the table. Behind the second row you get 25.1 cubic feet. But there&#8217;s also plenty of room for passengers with 103.6 cubic feet of passenger volume.</p>
<p>Standard interior features include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Rear ventilation windows</li>
<li>Power door and tailgate locks</li>
<li>Steering wheel mounted cruise and audio controls</li>
<li>Overhead storage compartment</li>
<li>Urethane-coated utility floor in the cargo area</li>
<li>12-volt power outlets in the front, center and rear</li>
<li>Rear window defroster</li>
<li>Rear seat heater ducts</li>
<li>Cargo area storage bins and area hooks</li>
</ul>
<p>And that&#8217;s just a start.</p>
<p>Standard exterior features include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Impressive side cargo doors</li>
<li>Variable windshield wipers</li>
<li>Roof-mounted antenna</li>
<li>Remote entry system</li>
<li>Green-tinted glass</li>
<li>Privacy glass</li>
<li>Multi-reflector halogen headlights</li>
<li>And the impressive clamshell tailgate for easy loading</li>
</ul>
<p>If that isn&#8217;t enough, Honda packed the Element with great safety features and audio as well. Seven speakers with a subwoofer is standard as well as satellite radio provided by XM and MP3/Windows Media Audio playback capability.</p>
<p>The <a title="2010 Honda Element SC" href="http://blog.vinart.com/vehicles/honda/" target="_self">2010 Honda Element SC</a> has all the style you&#8217;d expect of a modern sport vehicle and all the practicality and usefulness of a world-class cargo vehicle. You get utility and sport in one package in a classy vehicle that looks classic with all the best modern features.</p>
