Honda mostra o Brio tailandês, que poderá vir ao Brasil

Na minha opinião, o Brio não é tão bonito não.

A Honda apresentou hoje, dia 18 de março, as formas da versão definitiva do hatch Brio. O compacto foi exibido na Tailândia e será fabricado em alguns mercados emergentes, e o Brasil está incluso.

As formas do modelo são praticamente as mesmas do Brio Concept, apresentado em 2009. O Brio usa um motor 1.2 i-VTEC de 90 cv, originalmente feito para o Fit. A Honda oferece dois tipos de transmissão: uma manual de cinco marchas ou uma automática CVT (transmissão continuamente variável).

Embora seja um veículo de baixo custo, todas as versões do Brio destinadas para o mercado tailandês contam com airbag duplo frontal e freios ABS, distribuição eletrônica de frenagem (conhecida como EBD).

Alguns mercados, como a Índia, terão uma versão ligeiramente diferente do Brio.
Na Tailândia, a Honda espera vender 40 mil unidades do Brio até o final do ano. Por lá, o preço inicial do Brio equivale a US$ 13.180 (dólares), ou aproximadamente R$ 22 mil. O modelo deve começar a ser produzido na fábrica de Sumaré, no interior de São Paulo, até o ano de 2013.

Acura 2+1 Coupe Concept Study: Design Proposal for an Affordable NSX

The new V10-powered NSX may have bitten the dust due to the enduring global economic crisis (click here for details) but that doesn't mean that Honda fans can't continue to dream on. The Acura 2+1 Coupe Concept you see pictured above is a design proposal for a more affordable and down to earth NSX created by Colombian designer Leon Paz during his internship at Honda R&D Americas.

The concept features an aggressive look that adopts what Paz calls, a multi-faceted design language. "The idea was to show very aggressive styling on the body and keep it very simple on the top section with a dynamic roof line flow," Paz explains. One of the most interesting styling elements of the Acura coupe with its 2+1 seating arrangement is the prolonged transparent rooftop that allows a see-through view of the engine compartment.

Honda FCX Clarity

The FCX concept shown at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show and the Kiwami concept (Tokyo, 2003) were both designed around their fuel-cell powertrains running through the center tunnel. The FCX Clarity is a new production design that stems directly from these two cars

Honda Fit

Honda has announced it will begin sales of the Honda Fit (known as Jazz in Europe) in Japan today. The popular small car retains all its best features - class leading economy, cabin space to rival mid-sized sedans, and easy maneuverability - yet has been updated with some subtle design changes and clever interior space solutions.

Two i-VTEC engines will be available on the new car, a 1.5-liter and a super frugal 1.3-liter, which delivers maximum output of 100PS. A CVT transmission is also available. In the chassis, a longer wheelbase and wider track are claimed to offer better stability, maneuverability and handling.

A rotating passenger seat is available on the Japanese-market car which takes full advantage of the Fit's easy access. The seat has a higher position than previously, has additional foot space and features a specially contoured seat cushion. The seat enables easy loading and unloading of a wheelchair through the rear seats.

Honda CR-Z concept

Honda's CR-Z concept is the latest in a series of lightweight two-seater sportscar concepts revealed by the automaker in recent years. According to the Japanese design team, CR-Z stands for Compact Renaissance - Zero, a testament to the ultimate environmental goal pursued by the company, yet also hinting at the resurrection of the compact CR-X.

Just like the Remix concept shown at the LA Auto Show last year and the Small Hybrid Sports Concept that debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in March, the CR-Z concept explores the potential of a compact, lightweight sportscar that's exciting to drive, but has minimal impact on the environment. Propelled by the latest Honda hybrid IMA powertrain to deliver low emissions and high fuel economy, the CR-Z sits low to the ground and is dominated by an imposing, large bumper with gaping air intakes. The smooth lines across the glass roof and rear of the car serve to minimize drag and improve aerodynamics. Tube shaped combination lamps at the rear improve visibility, while other design details include stylish, high-visibility wing mirrors, LED headlights, fin-shaped sidelights and large 19-inch wheels to enhance the sporting appearance.

Inside, the aim was to give the concept car a light, spacious and sophisticated feel. The CR-Z's hi-tech interior features a blue, neon-like finish across the main dash and center console. Mesh material on a simple framework is used throughout, with sporty seats to help support the driver during cornering.

Honda Accord (US market)

This is a significant new production design; the Accord is off and on the best selling sedan in North America.

The new sedan is clearly an evolutionary design as its predecessors were and as befits its market. It has more heft than before for a slightly stronger and more imposing look, and appears to have taken a lead from the BMW 5 Series in its rear fender surfacing and lower bumper treatments and DLO. An inch taller and wider and three inches longer than its predecessor means the Accord moves from mid-size to large in the EPA classification for US market cars.

The coupe debuts along with the sedan, its design previewed closely by the Accord Coupe Concept shown earlier this year in Detroit.

Inside the US market Accord is a subtle progression of the theme established by its predecessor and shared with the European market Accord.

Technically the Accord sedan and coupe are also evolutionary developments of the outgoing model launched in 2003 with a 3.5 liter V6 and 2.4 liter four cylinder.

Honda Crossroad

Honda is selling a new car in Japan, the Crossroad, which despite measuring just 4285mm long manages to fit in seven seats over three rows. The architecture gives a distinct two-box profile, with the windshield base behind the front axle, pushing the rearmost pair of seats against the trunk lid - resulting in little luggage space with all pews in place.

The Crossroad has a distinct bevel concept applied to the overall form and details. Though not so apparent on the inside, outside cropped corners define the window graphics, while the front overhang is angled in plan, fitting the theme and making parking easier. Also notable are the stacked bumpers and a rear that reminds of the Honda HRV. Two VTEC engines are available, a 1.8- and 2.0-liter, and four wheel drive is also an option.

Honda Small Hybrid Sports Concept

tomffiri
Accurately described by the name, Honda will be unveiling a hybrid coupe at the Geneva Motor Show in March, designed by their satellite studio outside Frankfurt, Germany. The concept explores the idea that a car can have 'low environmental impact yet still deliver all the driving enjoyment expected of a compact sports car.'

Continuing Honda's green conscience will be a fully operational FCX, first seen in 2005 at the Tokyo Motor Show. Retaining the distinctive short nose/long wheelbase proportion of the excellent show car, this driveable version features a newly developed fuel cell stack that offers a 356mile range and top speed of 100mph. Limited marketing of a subsequent new model based on the Honda FCX concept is to begin in Japan and the US in 2008.

Honda Accord Coupe

For the first time Honda will publicly present an Accord concept car. Hinted at here in the sketch, the coupe will be unveiled in January at the Detroit Auto Show. The Accord is Honda's best selling car in the North American market, and the concept previews its next iteration that will continue to compete with the market-leading Toyota Camry. Further details are scarce, but we're guessing this is more production preview than concept.

Honda Stream

Honda has announced the release of their new Stream in Japan, a compact MPV with seven seats. Like the outgoing model, the architecture allows a low floor to bring the roofline down to 1545mm - which also benefits parking in the country's stacked mechanical lots.

While the previous model alluded more to the Civic in its down-road-graphic, the new Stream is closer to the larger Odyssey, while the front sub-pillars have been removed for greater visibility. It is available with 1.8- and 2-liter VTEC engines, and a raft of technologies introduced by the range-topping Honda Legend.

Honda Civic Type-S

Ten months after the launch of the five-door Civic comes the latest three-door version, to be unveiled as the Type-S in London later this month. Styling changes between the Type-S and five-door model are limited, though its suspension has been tuned for a more sporting drive. Most noticeable outside is of course the lack of rear doors, though by dropping them, the profile benefits from more naturally spaced shut-lines.

Two engines will power the new three-door: a petrol and a diesel, both producing 140PS. The Type-S name was first applied to the larger Accord when its Type-R derivative was discontinued: fortunately this is not the case with the Civic, and the Civic Type-R will hit Europe next March with 200PS. The Type-S arrives there in January.

Honda Pilot concept

A prototype of the next-generation Honda Pilot will be unveiled at the NAIAS in January.

At the moment all we have to go on is this sketch, which depicts a chunky, more agressive vehicle with bulging wheelarches and large wheels. Honda is telling us that the prototype will 'convey design features of a more boldly-styled, next-generation Pilot' which aims to emphasize authentic SUV styling, convenience features and clever interior packaging.

As always, we'll share our opinions of the concept from the Detroit Auto Show floor.
