This Is A True Clear Invention!
Monday, February 28th, 2011
The 3m clear bra is a wonderful invention for any car-lover who treats his prized possession like a true friend. A man’s best friend is not always the family dog. Sometimes a car can take the place of a great pet and nothing hurts more than seeing that first scratch or dent on your favorite automobile. However, traditional protective bras are not the most attractive option for car owners who want to protect their investments. The problem with the traditional protective covering is simply due to the fact that it covers the magnificent machine. No real car enthusiast wants to hide his prized automobile under a rubbery surface. He doesn’t want to spend a lot of money on the perfect finish to cover it up with a protective layer. Unfortunately, many car owners had to choose between chips and scrapes or hiding the finish. In places around Honda Dealers Missouri, you have all kinds of marks on your vehicles, due to inclement weather.
Not anymore. A car enthusiast can opt for a 3m clear bra that protects the car by creating a colorless barrier between the car’s finish and the elements. The 3m clear bra is simply a protective film that is literally painted over the car’s exterior. This product is commonly used on trucks, cars and vans of vehicle owners who cringe at the thought of a pebble getting near their priceless object. The 3m clear bra is also used to protect headlights as well. The protective layer is commonly applied to the front of the vehicle and on the lenses of the headlights. The beauty of this material is that it is virtually undetectable. The original design of the vehicle is not changed in any way. The owner has the peace of mind that comes with knowing that the car is protected while having the luxury of enjoying his vehicle in its original state. St. Charles Nissan Dealership prefers customers to add this to their vehicle, helps with resale value.
Some may wonder if the product is really as effective as the traditional protective cover. The 3m clear bra will protect the vehicle from chipping. Living in areas that are rough like Nissan Dealership Philadelphia, you can only wonder what is on the road sometimes, this helps that luxury car stay luxurious. The material was originally designed to be used on aircraft propellers to protect them from chipping. Surely the material will be effective at preventing chipping on vehicles as well. Another concern is the quality of the clarity of the 3m clear bra. How clear is it, really? The manufacturer of the product boasts that the material is virtually undetectable unless the vehicle is very white in color. The clear coat is slightly visible on a stark white car when very close but it is not detectable from a distance. You will see a faint line where the 3m clear bra stops but that is better than an ugly bug shield or paint chips.

How Ridgid Is The Honda Ridgeline?
Sunday, February 27th, 2011
Of course, most vehicles that are produced and manufactured around the globe work well. However, upon meeting the Honda Ridgeline, the views have changed and people have started proclaiming this vehicle as the truck that actually works. This is based on the premise that most of the trucks that roam the streets and country roads are built to perform. However, these trucks are not very much capable of doing all types of work and have not been specifically built to take in various types of cargo without much hassle. This missing link has already been created and it comes in the form of the Honda Ridgeline. Test drive one today at Kingston Honda Dealership.
What the new Honda Ridgeline has are the essentials that a truck must have. It could do rough road duties that just shows off just how durable this vehicle could be. It is constructed with a certain rigidity so as to withstand the various pressures of being a truck. Its cargo room is quite plentiful and it is entirely versatile so much so that any kind of cargo could be loaded and transported using the Honda Ridgeline. Honda prides itself for the Honda Ridgeline for they have been able to create and design a truck that is the very first and at present the only pick up truck that has received the government crash rating test of five stars for frontal impact tests as well as for side impact tests. This mainly proves that the truck is not only excellent in its duties and responsibilities but it also is outstanding when it comes to providing safety for its passengers which is very important. The chances of this truck doing a rollover are also minute as tested by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
5000 pounds is the Honda Ridgeline’s towing capacity. Its payload capacity reaches some 1550 pounds. The power comes from a very efficient V6 engine that produces 247 units of horsepower. Agile, efficient, and durable are just a few of the adjectives that describes this remarkable truck. Making dealerships like Chester Ford or Ford Dealership Knoxville very nervous, knowing the reputation Honda carries with the Accord and Civic, they know what they are up against.

Honda Earns #1 Ranking for “Greenest Vehicles of 2011″
Monday, February 21st, 2011
Honda has earned a number 1 ranking for the “Greenest Vehicles of 2011” from the American Counsel for an Energy Efficient Economy. 5 Honda vehicles earned recognition for their minimal impact on the environment compared to other models and their vehicle economy, and these vehicles can be purchased from Middletown Honda Dealers. The ACEEE ranks environmentally friendly vehicles annually and the models that were considered included the Civic GX, Civic Hybrid, and Insight. These models were included as well in the ranking for the “12 most environmentally responsible vehicles available to the public.” These models among other Honda models can be purchased from Austin Honda Dealers.
Also check California Subaru Dealers for high quality fuel efficient models. The system used to measure the impact on the environment of the vehicles considered includes measures of fuel economy, emissions, health related pollution impact, global warming impact, and other factors. The vehicles are given a “Green Score” and the top ranking vehicles are ranked based on segment. The Civic GX is a zero emissions model available to the public and runs on compressed natural gas. The Civic GX has been rated as the “Greenest Vehicle of the Year” from the years of 2004 to 2011 and is rated ahead of the Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Volt, which are two popular plug in electric vehicles.
What is even more impressive is that the GX is the cleanest burning internal combustion engine on the planet and does not utilize electric vehicle technology for its zero emissions rating. The model features compressed natural gas fuel technology and runs exclusively on this fuel. As a result the GX must be refueled at home. Honda will be expanding the availability of the GX to 50 states as it becomes more popular and affordable. Other models that made the list for Honda include the Honda Civic Hybrid which has a fuel economy of 40 mpg in the city and the Honda Insight.

Kia Soul Keeps You Safe
Sunday, February 6th, 2011
Drivers looking for a safe vehicle have plenty of options on the market right now, and you can visit the IIHS website to see which vehicles they are deeming to be the safest for 2011. We can tell you right now that the line up from Middletown Kia Dealers is safer than ever, and drivers are overly fond of the 2011 Kia Soul. This cute little car is a truly unique design that you either love or hate at first sight, but perhaps once you visit Kia Dealer Washington to learn about all of its great features, you can overlook its trendy appearance. Of course you could always run across the street to Vineland Hyundai if you are seeking something more timeless in terms of exterior design.
What surprises consumers the most about the 2011 Kia Soul, besides its amazingly low price, is the hefty amount of safety equipment that it offers. Usually, when you are spending less than $20,000 on a vehicle, you would expect to get a lower quality of safety features, and that is just how things go for the auto world. However, the Kia Soul comes with antilock brakes as well as electronic stability control. In addition to active head restraints, there are front side airbags plus side-curtain airbags. The NHTSA gives the Kia Soul a rating of four stars for frontal crashes and five stars for side impact crashes. The IIHS has awarded the Kia Soul its best rating of “good” for all of the crash test areas, even its new side crash test.
In terms of performance, the Kia Soul gives you two engines to choose from. The base engine is a 1.6-liter four cylinder engine that puts out a mere 122 horsepower plus 115 pound feet of torque. The majority of the vehicles sold feature the larger 2.0-liter four cylinder that produces 142 horsepower plus 137 pound feet of torque. There are four trim levels for the 2011 Kia Soul; the base Soul, Soul+, Soul!, and Soul Sport. You will find the larger engine on the top three trim levels and the majority of drivers admit to preferring the automatic transmission when compared to the performance you get from the manual gearbox.
