Car Sales in August
Posted by barista in Interweeb!, Vroom vroom on 09/02/2009
The trio of brands that has continually outpaced the rest of the industry this year – Subaru (up 51.51 percent), Kia (up 60.38 percent) and Hyundai (up 47.01 percent) – continued their winning ways and then some, each reporting all-time sales records last month thanks to a boost from the C4C program. To put their success in perspective, Hyundai and Kia together outsold Dodge, Jeep and Chrysler and Subaru outsold rivals Mazda and Volkswagen.
Kudos to Hyundai-Kia for blazing up the charts as a powerhouse, and to the tiny Subaru just showing how much a good design and technology matters. Props to AutoBlog for tracking this information monthly.

Goodwood Festival of Speed 2009
Posted by barista in It came from Denis, Vroom vroom on 07/16/2009
Goodwood Festival of Speed is UK’s “Petrol Head” event with style and charm. The pictures capture some of the nice rides people get to see in action in the hill climb event or the lounging around in the parking.
This year the event celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Mini in style, with the kick-off announcement in March.

Without a doubt, Rallye is my favorite automotive sport.
Honda CR-Z

The venerable Honda “Civic” CR-X was the sexiest small car in it’s heyday in north america. Expensive, but within reach, and oh so different in style and verve.

Honda is trying to revive the magic with the CR-Z, a hybrid coupe they claim is going on sale Feb 2010. This is worth watching. The 2007 Tokyo Auto Show concept car does capture the mood of the older CRX, here’s hoping the production version doesn’t dilute it too much.

What that car can do … and what the driver can wring out of it…
Amazing.
