2009 Honda Pilot; What to Expect.

A bigger engine is rumoured to be entering the fray, it's current 3.5L V6 should be replaced by a 3.8L (or 3.7L) V6. Expect Variable Cylinder Management on all models (shuts down from 6-4-3 cylinders) like the new Accord. An increase in horsepower will go without saying, I expect 270hp or so, up from the current 244hp. You can expect to see Dual Zone Climate Control and a power passenger seat, probably for Leather models only. Blue Tooth will make it's entry, again, if the new Accord is any indication, on Leather models only.

The big news will be a Diesel engine option. Honda rumours state that the Diesel engine will be introduced for 2009, however I am thinking it will be introduced a little later. Who knows.

As far as style goes, I expect a more urban look (sleaker lines), not so 'truck-like' (box-like).

The current model is still an outstanding choice and rates at or near the top in every catagory, so don't count it out just yet!

:::Lamborghini Reventón:::

My friends it's been a very, very long time!
This is a new car released by Lamborghini sometime between now and my last update I believe.

This car has the same motor as the Lamborghini LP640. 650 horses and 6.5L of displacement.

This car costs 1 million Euros not including any taxes. Only 20 cars are being produced and even less will actually hit the pavement. The dashboard is made out of a solid piece of aluminum with carbon fibre to reduce glare! Just like the corvette the Reventon has a G-Force meter! The dashboard has 3 LCD screens that have all the gauges and other info. A very elegant interior.

The exterior is a lot more angular than the LP640 that it was based on. The rims have carbon fibre fins to suck the air to the brakes. It also has glass fins over the motor so you can see it.

All in all another amazing car by Lamborghini!

2009 Honda FIT Updated

I hope that we get to keep the skylight from the Japan version. Looks nice.!

Here are a few official release shots of the Honda FIT in Japan. This is the model that will replace the model that we currently have, which was originally introduced in Japan in 2001. We have one more year in the current bodystyle that we cannot get enough of.
