Honda CR-Z
Posted on October 9, 2007, under Cars, World/Web News.
Coming soon to the Tokyo Auto Show is the new Honda CR-Z concept car.
Based loosely on the CR-X from the early ’80s, the car is a bang up-to-date vision of Hondas’ vision of its next generation of cars.
I’m not too sure of the ‘guppy-mouth’ grill – it looks a bit too Peugeot 407-esque, but it is only a concept.

So, you’re at home bored. What are you going to do to pass the time?
I suggest visiting Geoffrey Cottenceau’s photo site for a few more ideas. Seen right is ‘The Squirrel’.
Superb.

New HR-V?
Posted on January 5, 2007, under Cars, Technology.
Spy pics are currently doing the rounds on a possible new Honda HR-V replacement for 2008-2009 (click image to enlarge).
There is a lot of spin around the vehicle at the moment, mainly on whether it is in fact a JDM at all (lots of poorly informed people are touting it as a Ford due to ‘it being parked next to a Land Rover Discovery 3!) – but there are many indicators to say that is could be the new replacement for the HR-V.
It’s said to be longer than the original HR-V (490mm longer), but smaller than the recently updated CR-V. A 7-seat configuration is also being touted – which would be a huge improvement on the poor 4-seat layout on the old model.
Styling cues on the car also point to Honda, take for example the front grill – this configuration has recently been seen on the Stepvan Concept and Mobilio Spike concept at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Other cues include the front window/B-Pillar being very simiar to the Element (sources say that the Element is not yet ready for a major redesign so this rules that model out).
Whatever comes of it – I doubt it would be called the HR-V anyway.
Update: TheHollywoodExtra is saying the car IS a Honda and that it WON’T be called HR-V, but rather the Honda Crossover. This could mean that the second image above is a concept for the new Stream model.

Cameraless

Well… its been around a week or so since I sold on my camera (Fuji S7000 – left) in preparation for my new arrival – either a Canon 20D or 30D.
It can’t come quick enough to be honest.
I should get it just in time to spend next weekend walking in Wales for a few days, and hopefully bring back a lot of new shots for my Landscape, Panoramic and Nature photography sections. Fingers crossed!
The Fuji has been a very good camera, producing a stack of, without sounding too smug, stunning pics as you can see from my photo sections (tabs at top of this site) on a variety of subjects. It never missed a beat, always performed as it should, was a great tool to learn on/with and has been superb value for money.
The S7000 was replaced with the S9500 last year which is another great camera from the Fuji stable (that too is shortly to be replaced by the awesome looking Fuji S6500fd which will have face detection hardware to enable the camera to recognise faces and optimise settings to get the best photograph in just 0.04 seconds!) – but it’s time to move on up to DSLR now.
I’m sure I’ll be posting pics of my new toy soon!
