Win a Brand New Honda Hybrid Car

January 16, 2008 · Filed Under News 

Honda are launching a marketing campaign to help promote their eco-friendly hybrid car. A brand new website called The Problem Playground provides information about the car plus offers visitors the chance to win a car. Just place a piece of the jigsaw into the site (which fully officially kicks off on February 4th) and leave them your details to enter the competition. Unfortunately you won’t know until March 2009 if you’ve won the car.

If you’ve never considered a hybrid car before then there’s plenty of information on the Honda website about how the car works and the advantages of owning one. As well as the obvious savings on petrol the road tax of a hybrid car is just £15 a year. There’s more of those kind of useful facts at The Problem Playground plus there’s even a short video of Honda F1 driver Jenson Button to watch too (although FCC questions whether using an F1 driver, through the sport and lifestyle must have a huge carbon footprint, is a wise thing to do?).

Despite all the savings in fuel and road tax, plus of course the knowledge you’re helping the environment, the big stumbling block for hybrid cars is the cost. The basic Honda Hybrid starts at around £17000 and this is not going to encourage car drivers to consider changing. Another issue to consider for would-be buyers is the Honda Hydrogen FCX. The hydrogen fuel cell car is widely expected to be released for sale in the US in 2008.

Still, it’s all a step in the right direction!
