Titolo: honda logo, attuale e futura... motore?

in un post di qualche tempo fa leggevo la delusione di cristiano nel vedere
che la nuova piccolina di casa honda sarà anch'essa "monovolumica"... e
dotata di motori (non ricordo bene le specifiche--- ancora il 1.3 65 cv? no
eh!) non all'altezza...
Riprendendo in mano il confronto honda insight-toyota prius su auto di
dicembre 2000 leggo che la honda monta, in accoppiata al motore elettrico,
un "baby" v-tec 1000cc 3 cilindri 12v da 68 cavalli!!! (quanto la yaris: che
coincidenza...) Ma perché la honda non ha montato questo motorino sulla logo
@ you invece del polmonicissimo milletré?? E perché non lo monterà sulla
nuova logo? costi troppo alti...? magari per l'auto, ma i consumi... il 65cv
attuali non credo sia tanto parco... boh...

Ciao JohnMilner
Bellissima domanda....
Partiamo dal presupposto che nel resto del mondo la Logo non avrà il
'nostro' motore
Honda's new small car (possibly the LOGO replacement) will be on display at
the Tokyo Motor Show. It will be launched in the Australian Market in March
02. Similar in exterior looks to the Civic 5 door hatch, it will also be a 5
door hatch. It will have a 1.5 litre VTEC engine for Australia but will be
available in a 1.3 litre engine for other markets. Expected price will be
around A$20,000.
1,5 VTEC per gli altri mercati, e 1.3 8v per Naftalandia
Honda's New 1.3L, 4-CYL i-DSI Engine
:
Something from Honda's new DSI engine...( found it in the
europeanhonda page) I believe this is also the translation
to the Japanese press release. Keep up the good work.

HONDA DEVELOPS A NEXT GENERATION 1.3 L, 4-CYL i-DSI ENGINE
Offers High Performance, Record Fuel Efficiency and Low Emissions
Honda Motor Co., Ltd. introduces the all-new 1.3-liter, 4-cylinder "i-DSI"
- the latest in Honda's next generation of "i-series" engines.
A lightweight, compact, high-performance engine, the i-DSI offers ample
horsepowerand torque at all ranges, using intensive combustion to achieve a
combination of ultra-high fuel efficiency and clean emissions.
The i-DSI -- for "Dual & Sequential Ignition" - will be installed in a new
small
car, scheduled to be unveiled in June, 2001.
The 2-valve/cyl. engine is equipped with two spark plugs in each of its
newly-
designed, compact combustion chambers. These sparks are activated in a
different
order depending upon engine revving and load resulting in intelligent,
dual-point
sequential ignition control to achieve intensive fuel combustion at all
ranges.
Two spark plugs per cylinder are arranged diagonally to accelerate flame
propagation in the combustion chamber, thus achieving rapid combustion of
the
air-fuel mixture and high output from a minimum amount of gasoline. This
intensive combustion at all ranges not only controls knocking, but also
permits a
much higher compression ratio, achieving a maximum output of 63kW (86PS) at
5700
rpm, and maximum torque of 119Nm (12.1kg-m) at 2800 rpm.
The engine is paired with Honda's newly-developed, lightweight, compact
Multimatic S continuously-variable-speed transmission (CVT), which minimizes
engine power loss to achieve ultra-high fuel efficiency of 23 kilometers per
liter (determined by in-house testing based on Japan standard) -- among the
world's best for a gasoline powered production vehicle, and compliant with
2010
fuel efficiency standards. Furthermore, harmful exhaust emissions have also
been
greatly reduced: the i-DSI engine's clean performance is recognized by
Japan's
National Ministry of Transportation's "Low Emissions Excellence"
certification.
The engine has also been made 8% lighter and more compact than Honda's
previous
1.3-liter engines. This was achieved by reducing the valve angles to create
a
smaller combustion chamber, and by incorporating a more compact air cleaner,
a
serpentine auxiliary drive system, a plastic intake manifold, a
stainless-steel
exhaust pipe, and other innovations.
The lightweight, compact, high-performance i-DSI engine, in tandem with a
newly
developed Honda Multimatic S transmission, creates a new breed of small car
that
achieves ultra-high fuel efficiency and clean emissions coupled with
superior
performance. In addition, the smaller engine room makes for a roomier
passenger compartment.

Beh, insomma, se ci daranno il 1.3 qui descritto... 86cv, 23 km/l ... non
sarà una type R però... certo che l'aspetto a cassonetto è deprimente... ma
d'altra parte la macchina più venduta in Jap è la Suzuki Wagon R+ ....
Speriamo... l'attuale logo credo che non meriti neanche lo stemma
dell'honda...

 dell'honda...
L'attuale Logo è un tristissimo errore di marketing di Honda Europe
