Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. recently joined Sunshine Television’s Auto Rally Corporate Challenge, an ‘on-time, all- the-time’ motorsports activity that involves effective time management, driving and navigation skills to win the competition.

All novices in the auto rally discipline, members of the Honda team took the challenge to learn the techniques of the competition. “I was invited to join the 2010 Sampaguita TV Auto Rally Corporate Challenge. I said sure even though I had no idea how an auto rally works. It turned out to be one of the most mentally challenging but fun activity I have ever participated on.” said Calvin Lo. Understanding and developing the skills needed for this type of motorsports became more fun and easy under the kind guidance of 10-time National Rally Champion and Honda Cars Laguna General Manager Vip Isada.
Meanwhile, apart from the team award, the tandem award for the special stage was awarded to Honda patrons Mark Rosca and Jeff de Leon who rode the 2.0 liter CR-V. “We broke down the raceway into segments and set a target time per section. We particularly focused on the last stretch of special stage which was on a hairpin. We knew the CR-V pretty well and were very happy how agile it performed in the raceway. ” said Mark Rosca. Also, the tandem of Nico Fernandez and Rodan Fernandez who rode the 1.8 liter Civic won one of the stages of the competition. “We were very fortunate to have Mr. Isada as our team advisor. We basically followed his advice. We paid more attention in completing the courses and focused on the time thereafter.” said Rodan Fernandez.
Taking inspiration from its founder Soichiro Honda, the Honda team bore the challenging spirit that led them into winning Auto Rally awards on its first undertaking. Honda’s famed challenging spirit and involvement in a wide range of motorsports has enabled the company in developing advanced products and technologies.

Powershift engine reduces up to 8% of fuel costs
When it burst on the scene just three years ago, the Volvo C30 caused more heads to swivel than a fashion show. Most eyes were focused on the unique rear styling that set it apart from the pack. For an encore, Volvo's designers have given the C30 all-new front styling for 2010 with a radically altered fascia, fenders, trapezoidal headlights and honeycomb grille wearing an enlarged Volvo iron mark. The result is sure to cause double takes whether the car is coming or going.
This dynamic new look further emphasizes the C30's playful appeal to the young and young at heart. Along with the angled lines of the front bumper, the new headlights, drawn offset and up, reinforce the impression of speed and sport. While the biggest changes are at the front, the contours of the rear fascia are curvier and more dynamic than before.
Orange Flame metallic is a vibrant new exterior color choice added to the C30's already tempting array of hues. Inside the cabin, customers can select from a fresh, modern array of colors and materials. Off Black/Blonde is an all-new color combination that serves as an expression of Volvo's strong Scandinavian design tradition.
The C30 continues to be offered in two models, one of which is the C30 2.0L that is offered at PhP1,788,888.00. The 2.0L is featured with a fuel-saving dual-clutch Powershift technology that reduces costs of up to 8%. Also available is the 2.5-liter turbocharged 5-cylinder T5 engine that delivers 230 horsepower and offered at PhP2,388,888.00
Thanks to its compact size and clever design, the Volvo C30 is as fun to drive as it is to admire. Its generous front and rear tracks and a relatively long wheelbase contribute to inspiring and stable driving characteristics. The chassis, with MacPherson front suspension and a multilink rear axle, is optimized to provide outstanding control and precise response to the driver's inputs.
Volvo endows the entry luxury C30 T5 with a generous roster of standard equipment. The list includes standard leather gearshift knob with aluminum inlay, leather parking brake cover, trip computer, cruise control, leather seats, Bi-Xenon headlamps, rear spoilers, twin tail pipes and the best audio system on the road -- the Dynaudio Premium Sound System with Dolby® Pro Logic® II Surround Sound.
The C30 features Volvo's patented front structure. Divided into zones, it incorporates different deformation properties with the outer zones accounting for most of the deformation in a frontal collision. The more the collision forces approach the passenger compartment, the less the material is deformed. To ensure that each zone has the right characteristics, the quality of the steel has been varied. Four different types of steel are used. Apart from normal body steel, three different grades of high-strength steel are used. Different steel grades also are used in the rear to help protect occupants in the event of a rear-end collision.
This two-door, four-seater sporty coupe undeniably offers best-in-class comfort, world-class safety and stimulating modern design characteristics. A multi-faceted gem of a vehicle, you'll discover that the redesigned Volvo C30 is highly qualified to protect you and yours -- especially from boredom.
