Honda Expands Airbag Recall More Than 800 000 Cars In U S Total


Honda says drivers-side airbags in many of its 2001 and 2002 Honda and Acura vehicles could deploy with too much force, resulting in injury or death.

Tough guys will say "Hey, I can take a punch"...but thats not what Hondas talking about here. The force involved could shatter the inflator casing and send metal fragments flying through the airbag cushion material and into...well, you and your passengers.

Same basic principle as a grenade.

Honda says its aware of a total of 14 incidents, with one fatality.

This is phase three of this recall. It began sixteen months ago with 4,000 cars, had 436,000 added to it in July 2009 and today 378,758 cars join the list.

Full details are in the official Honda news release.

Even when working properly, airbags are, as now-retired (damn!) Car and Driver Editor at Large Patrick Bedard once noted, the only safety device in our history that comes with a label warning that you could be killed using it properly. A decade ago, he wrote a series of columns about them before finally giving up. Heres the one thats been preserved online. If you have both children and a car with airbags, please...please read it.

How to Care for Your Audi S High


1. Purchase a leather cleaner with a pH balance from 5 to 5.5. Any higher pH balance, and you risk removing the tanning agents. Make sure that the leather is cool before cleaning
2. Dip a Microfiber cloth into water, until it is damp. Spray leather cleaner directly on the cloth. Clean one section of the car at a time, such as the drivers seat back. Wash gently, being certain to clean out the stitch lines. Dirt left in stitching can erode the thread, and cause the upholstery to rip apart over time. Use a soft leather brush on stained or especially dirty areas.
3. Rinse the washcloth thoroughly before moving on to clean another section. Wring out the cloth. Spray more leather cleaner on the cloth and move on to new section. Use a clean, dry towel to wipe down the leather after cleaning.
4. Make sure the car is more than 90 days old before applying leather conditioner since new cars will still have factory conditioned leather. Dip a clean Microfiber cloth in water. Spray a small amount of leather conditioner directly on the cloth. Wipe on leather lightly. Wait 30 minutes. Use a clean Microfiber cloth to lightly buff the leather. Make sure there is no excess conditioner remaining on the leather.

Jaguar XFR S introduced LA Auto Show

Jaguar XFR-S introduced LA Auto Show
Jaguar goes on a trip to Los Angeles and takes note, the XFR-S. The expectations of the British performance sedan are high because we still know very well what the XKR-S is capable of.

The XFR-S will be after the second Jaguar XKR-S that the RS emblem bears a label that stands for the very fastest and most powerful Jaguars. Judging from the previous year launched XKR-S, we suspect a power of 550 hp and 680 Nm for the new top of the line XF. A must also wants the Jaguar BMW M5, the Mercedes E 63 AMG and the (forthcoming) Audi RS6 firing seemed to explain. Interesting detail: reportedly bought Jaguar prior to the development of the XFR-S, an M5 to explore how this super sedan BMW builds.

Surf Blue
it must be really odds are in Los Angeles, the Jaguar XFR-S not surf blue shine, gradually the color of RS. The exaggerated appearance is easy to predict. A burly, aerodynamic front spoiler - which we already partly with this first picture to see - including a rear spoiler and diffuser are actually functional Zoal the visual characteristics. Especially we are wondering what Jaguar has managed to create the soundtrack. In the XKR-S was this fact very popular.

Bentley Flying Spur dressed as Mercedes S Class

The new Bentley Continental Flying Spur instead of the regular camouflage dressed as one of its biggest competitors, the Mercedes S-class.
Bentley Continental Flying Spur


There are two major releases to arrive in the world of luxury limousines. For months we look forward to the unveiling of the new Mercedes S-class. However, even the very rich can spend their money only once and let Bentley just now engaged in a refresher course of their Continental Flying Spur. That is a choice.

Renewed
Like the Continental GT, the Flying Spurs not really new model developed. A thorough renovation round British pride should keep competitive in this segment where manufacturers can no stabbing drop. Thus, the new Flying Spur on the outside of almost every point are finely ground including new lighting units, a redesigned grille and a roofline that is more upright.

V8
Like the Continental GT, the Flying Spur next to the famous W12 updated with the new, double-blown V8. This eight-cylinder reduces fuel consumption and emissions of the flagship which in many countries the price will drop considerably. The new Bentley Continental Flying Spur is probably presented in 2013.

Jaguar XFR S Spied

In direct comparison with the Audi RS6, BMW M5 and Mercedes E 63 AMG, the Jaguar XFR is often seen as the underdog. An even faster XF will temporarily not change. And that fact makes us more curious about the XFR-S.

We know the exact numbers, but of all sales performance sedans in the world, only a tiny fraction have a Jaguar. It is mainly the German super sedans that dominate this segment. In terms of image and the supplied raw power. On the XKR-S to do something about changing. In time.

Riders Cars
Jaguar is not out of the horsepower race to win, because the XFR-S has reportedly over 550 hp, still less than the BMW M5 (560 hp) and the Audi RS6 (580 hp). And as the XFR-S Once launched, the buying public certainly not en masse showrooms Jaguar flat walk. The British brand has on several fronts just still quite a long way to go. That does nothing, as its a clear goal, and keep faith in her own abilities. And a goal that the British: building (riders) cars where others fail or a step back have done. That is what the XFR-S will. Must be. Just watch those huge rear spoiler. Thats really not just for show, witness the XKR-S! A sublime tear device is that, but also have typical Jaguar elements. Fat chance that the XFR-S that is. And that desired image that will come automatically.
