Honda F1 3rd at British GP!
In a sodden British Grand Prix at Silverstone last Sunday, Rubens Barrichello scored a remarkable 3rd place behind Nick Heidfeld and winner Lewis Hamilton. In a race which saw many drivers caught out by treacherous conditions Rubens drove superbly to a well-deserved podium.
Team Principal, Ross Brawn, said what it meant to the tream:
“Scoring our first podium of the season is a huge boost for the morale of the entire team. It is doubly rewarding to have achieved this result at our home race, so close to both of our UK facilities at Brackley and Bracknell.”

Honda top Which? reliability survey… again!
Honda topped the makers' charts for reliability with a reliability index rating of 85%, followed by Toyota (84%), Daihatsu (83%), Lexus (83%), Mazda (83%), Subaru (83%) and Suzuki (83%).
The Which? Car survey included feedback from almost 90,000 car owners, making it the biggest and most detailed UK car reliability survey ever. The reliability index reflects the number of breakdowns, faults and niggles that owners encountered.
New Accord beats Audi A4!
In one it’s first big tests Autocar concluded that the new Accord is a “better all-rounder than the A4” – a real premium competitor.
They commented that Honda’s latest saloon is “high in quality and very well equipped for the money”. Coupled with being “much quieter and more mechanically refined” than its predecessor means new Accord is a very complete package.

The first Honda FCX Clarity hydrogen fuel cell vehicle has rolled off the production line in Japan.
John Kingston, environment manager for Honda UK, said: “The arrival of the first hydrogen fuel cell car is particularly significant during this time of rapidly increasing oil prices. Honda is proud to offer an alternative energy solution that could reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and the effect of motoring on climate change."
The FCX will not be available in Europe yet as only a fleet of 200 vehicles has been made available to customers in Japan and California. The only byproduct of this zero- emissions vehicle is water.
