Honda hopes Civic will inspire you to write a song

Filed under: , ,

Sound of Civic logo
Honda is casting the Sounds of Civic social media-based contest as a fun way for you to whip up a little song and possibly win a 2012 Honda Civic of your own. You might accept it at face value, or you may see it as a contrived and cynical attempt at being current and/or relevant. If the ninth-generation Honda Civic excites you into musical rapture, great, submit your song on the Honda Civic Facebook page before June 5th.

Honda has faith in your song-writing abilities. "We know our talented fans will show off their skills and submit some great Civic-inspired tunes," says Steve Center, American Honda Motor Company's Vice President of National marketing Operations.

Once the submission window closes, voting begins and runs through July 17th. Eight finalists will be chosen to receive $2,500 in music gear from Sam Ash music stores. The single finalist that receives the most votes will get the car, which could be a handy way to get to Los Angeles to perform as part of the 2011 Honda Civic Tour.

Honda has solicited songs from several artists already, and you can find them on the Honda Civic Facebook page and the Honda YouTube channel. Pointing Twitter at the #soundsofcivic hashtag can also help keep you updated. Check it out, brush up on your scales and arpeggios and have at it with your own composition. Check out the press release after the jump.

Honda shares some landscape love with a dedicated customer

Honda Facebook love
Honda shares the love - Click above for image gallery

Just before Christmas, dedicated Honda lover Chris W. showed his affection for Soichiro's brand by mowing a Honda logo into his front lawn. Chris's photos made it to Facebook, and eventually caught the attention of Honda itself, through the brand's huge network of fans.

Thanks in part to loving owners like Chris, Honda's Facebook page recently broke through the 1,000,000-fan barrier. To commemorate this social media milestone, Honda took a page right out of Chris W.'s book and etched his name into the front lawn of its Torrance, California, headquarters. Check out Honda's Facebook page to see the fan love for yourself. Thanks for the tip, Johnathan!

Honda CR-Z Mugen show car to pack 197 horsepower for Goodwood debut

Filed under: , , , , , ,

Call it anticipation or call it wishful thinking, but reports of a hotter version of the Honda CR-Z have been circulating pretty much ever since the hybrid hatchback hit the market. The CR-Z may be sportier than most hybrids, but when the faithful were expecting a spiritual successor to the iconic CRX with an added jolt of electricity, many were left disappointed.

Along those lines, we have good news, and we have bad news. The good news is that some new details on the hotly anticipated Mugen version of the CR-Z have dropped. The bad news is that it's still strictly a one-off show car, at least for the time being.

Honda CR-Z Mugen engineThe concept car will be revealed in July at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. And when it is, it won't be turbocharged as earlier speculated, but it will be supercharged. With the added benefit of forced induction, the output from the 1.5-liter i-VTEC four that forms the internal combustion part of Honda's Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) system will be increased by 50 percent, and when coupled with the electric component will serve up 200 metric horsepower (197 on our scale) and 181 pound-feet of torque.

To go with the added power, the pseudo-works Honda tuner is also fitting adjustable dampers, a wider track, upgraded brakes and rolling stock, an enhanced aero kit and a weight-reduction regimen. Although Mugen insists it holds no plans for producing its breathed-on hybrid, there's no telling what sufficient demand might yield. Follow the jump for the press release and check out the two engine shots released to join the renderings released previously in the gallery below.
