The Honda Insight is a hybrid launched in direct competition with Toyota’s widely successful Prius, which has sold over one million units already. Honda’s new Eco Assist System helps manage better mileage for drivers and claims to be an intelligent system that learns with time. All three models of the Insight are cheaper than Toyota’s comparable Prius models and according to Honda, saves substantially more on fuel costs. The Honda car game requires players to blow into a mic plugged into your PC to increase or decrease the speed of the car depending on the incline the car is travelling on. More instructions at the Honda site. I have included a few Insight video commercials below for your viewing. Have fun and happy blowing!

Mercedes Benz, the luxury car manufacturer, has 26 mixed tape collections available for free download on its website! And there’s a new mix out every two months. I had no idea. The retro, nostalgic title and a shortage of fresh tunes were enticement enough for me to download the latest compilation two nights ago. No regrets. I’ve been listening to it continuously since, drifting into imaginary scenarios of driving by the ocean with the top down - pretty far from reality. The tracks cater to an assortment of moods and tastes including groove, jazz and ambient. It’s well worth the twenty to thirty minutes it takes to download.

The promotional video for “Mixed Tape 26” below provides a brief introduction to the artists featured on the mix and can be viewed below.

Due for release in October, the 2009 Aptera 2e rolled out its pre-production model in the US this month. Despite appearances, the Aptera has an exceptionally sturdy body and its aerodynamic shape ensures minimum drag. It runs on a lithium-based battery designed to charge using an ordinary electric outlet and gives an average of 100 miles per charge. The Aptera can hit 0-60mph in 10 seconds with a maximum speed of 90mph. With its reasonable price and a substantial amount of bookings already in place, Aptera has the potential to be trendsetter in a recently ‘carbon-emission’ conscious US.

Jay Leno, car fanatic and talk show host, took the 2009 Aptera 2e for a test run and spoke to Paul Wilbur, Aptera’s CEO and President, about the technology, aerodynamics and energy saving features of the car. The video below also shows Leno driving the Aptera up to a speed of 70 mph on the California highway.
