‘Frankenfurter’ Motor Show 2019 – Honda E Car Shown

I couldn’t help but use the word, instead of the real one, Frankfurt. Whenever I see Frankfurt, the Rocky Horror Picture Show comes to mind.

So what’s happening in Frankenfurter with e-cars?

Both Volkswagen and Honda have released the mass production vehicles pictured below

Whilst the VW looks to me like a version of the Polo or Golf, the Honda? Well it’s very different.

But according to both companies, they’ll enjoy an order book of over 30,000 first adopters. Here in Australia, well that’s another story.

According to Stephen Collins the boss at Honda Australia:

“While we have no concrete plans yet we are looking into what is possible for Honda in Australia in this space, as the future technology available in the global Honda network is really exciting,”
“Electrification is a key part of our global plan and at Honda Australia, we have targeted 25% of our range being electrified (either Hybrid or BEV) by 2025. When the right product is available and the business case stacks up, we will be very excited to launch into the new era of electrification.”

Using my Google translator program, what he really said is this.

I don’t really know when or even if we’ll get a pure Honda electric vehicle in Australia.
If I had to depend on a business case to Head Office, the numbers wouldn’t work.

For the rest of the world who get government subsidies, they’ll sell every EV they can make. So we might be waiting a while.

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to my new website thecarguy.com.au!

I know that there’s a lot of websites that offer car reviews, car road tests, opinions on various cars and the like. What makes this site different is that I’m not going to bore you with technical information about the various cars that I review.

I’ve been in the car business for over 39 years. I’ve read the motoring magazines cover to cover. I’ve read the online reviews until my eyes were square. Everywhere that I go, I find motoring journalists talking about car speeds – 0 – 100 km per hour, standing ¼ times, the inclination of this and that at 150klm per hour on a 12.5% gradient curve, in rainy weather – and other stuff that bores me no end.

thecarguy.com.au is taking a different path on the journey to helping you purchase a new car. I’ll do my best to advise you on what I consider to be the most important information when it comes to that major decision to purchase a car. Interior room, features of the car, fuel economy, safety, service prices, resale and lots more. I’ll tell you what I like about a particular car and as importantly, what I don’t like, to find at least to be less than I think a car should have. .

And I’ll ask for your opinion. Take some pics of what you’re driving and tell me and our audience what you particularly like or dislike about your car. Because besides prospective new car buyers, there’s a lot of people who’ll read your comments as used car buyers.

So, jump on board, strap yourself in and let’s start out on the journey with The Car Guy.
