Undecided : Honda Legend canceled worldwide , and Japan all gasoline Civic

As much as I try it seems that Honda does not get hit the mark with Legend. The large saloon Tokyoites manufacturer is really comfortable and in some respects to toe ( here the example of their speakers with noise -canceling technology ) , but in a world where luxury is a matter of brand , Honda is struggling to put to its derivative with the seal of AcuraWhen the U.S. (in theory) should be more responsive to markets like Europe. registrations are so slow that during the first half of the year has sold only 872 units RL in the country of Uncle Sam, and if we speak of Europe would have to get into the sewers to find the numbers.

So, it seems that Honda did not want to keep in suspended animation in this dead man , and according to Japanese newspaper Nikkei, cancel Legend globally, freeing up some precious resources that may be invested in models with greater potential . Confirmed the news, I doubt very much that Honda thinks covering his void with another model, especially taking into account that now all their efforts are in reducing consumption.

Mexico: All the details of the Toyota Prius

I already had announced a few weeks ago and now I can tell you all the details of Toyota Prius to begin marketing in August . Being the best-selling hybrid , it was surprising that the Japanese firm has taken so long to sell in Mexico , but of course , seeing the price know the reason.

As Toyota has released the 1.8i 16v rate HSD Prius is 428 300 pesos ( € 25,600 ) , good in comparison to the European market, but very expensive for what style in Mexico. To try to compensate to some extent this high payout , it was decided to import the Premium trim level , which includes automatic climate control , alloy wheels , ESP , TCS , multiple airbags , trip computer , audio system , bluetooth, control voice and fog lamps.

Toyota will have 350 units ready for the second half , but more remarkable is that the first 100 will be numbered . Another important point is that you will not pay tenure despite exceed 250,000 pesos which marks the current limit.

Video: Renntech us again drunk with the sound of her SL 65 AMG Black Series

Get their hands on one Mercedes which has been tuned by AMG is but one of the favorite pastimes of many preparers unable to see beyond the straight line , but daring to put the screws to the SL 65 AMG Black Series and is too big . We must be very brave to think you can improve the work of the prodigal sons of Affalterbach , and yet we have seen more than one copy carried to extremes that AMG did not want to explore. The last one, on the same lines. Now you talk about this pata negra with the signing of Renntech back in April, but today we have more photos and a new video with which to melt the wax from your ear .

Little happy with the original performance of the model, Domani Motors, a U.S. chain specializing in high-end sports , attended Renntech mechanics , which set up its so-called "Performance Package 1 ", who knows if to prove the point fusion Mercedes steels . The experiment was to intervene the unit, install new exhaust, and improve the pumping of the intercooler , making the pass motor 6.0 V12 661 ( 670 hp DIN) to 805 hp SAE, and 1000-1355 Nm. Logically, to master these figures was necessary to strengthen the transmission, which has also been complemented by Renntech with a new limited slip differential to 100 %.

Results? For by the time or have provided Domani Renntech or acceleration times or circuit, but as you can see after the jump , it sounds like angels .

Crisis? We know that there is and there are still many mortals who make a thousand accounts to make ends meet. However, there is always a privileged part of the population that has been affected and can afford luxuries like the Porsche Cayenne.

As reported by the German company in a single month since it was launched have already totaled more than 16,000 strong reservations of the 2010 Cayenne. With prices in excess of € 65,000 (much more to put four things optional), it seems that the luxury SUV has been welcomed with open arms. As an example of the success of the Cayenne can be mentioned that the previous generation of 270 000 units sold worldwide, a figure more than interesting.
