Official pictures have been released of the Honda CR-Z concept, the first hybrid with seriously sporting pretensions.
Honda is set to unveil it at this year's Tokyo motor show in late October and, despite the 'concept' tag, Honda sources say that it's nine-tenths production ready and will be in UK showrooms by the summer of 2010.
The A320 Guildford Road in Ottershaw will be closed during half-term week, 15 - 23 February, with the possibility of traffic lights the week after. The closure is for the purpose of major drainage works, from outside Trident Honda to the junction with Cross Lane (near the Church at the top of the hill).
During the closure, access will be maintained to Trident Honda from the Ottershaw roundabout.

We are today, Friday 20th October, holding a Mufti for Michael
day in remembrance of our founder Michael Roberts and to raise money for the Woking Hospice, who cared for Michael so well towards the end of his life.
Thank you to all our team for supporting the event, and especially to Alex Russell, who kindly volunteered to bake cakes for a cake sale. Sadly there are very few left now (see photo opposite)!
In all we believe that we will have collected around £350 for this wonderful cause today.
We have now completed the recruitment for this role, but we may have other opportunities available. Please view all our current vacancies at the following link:
Honda has developed a plant-based material to be used as a fabric in car interiors. The new fabric offsets all CO2 emissions produced during the disposal stage of the car, through the CO2 absorption that occurs naturally during the growth of the plants that are used as raw materials.
The new fabric will be first introduced into Honda's new fuel cell vehicle, the Honda FCX, which will be launched within the next three years. Honda says that the fabric could be used for seat surfaces as well as for the interior surfaces of the car.
Honda triumphs with hat-trick in the annual MPG Marathon:
Team Honda has triumphed in the annual MPG Marathon taking home a hat-trick of titles. The Civic diesel hatchback claimed the overall winner's prize in this year's event as well as best percentage improvement on MPG, while the first generation 17 year old Honda Insight took second place overall and winner in the heritage category.
We are delighted to announce that, after 25 years with the same telephone system, Trident Honda will tomorrow be going live with a shiny new and modern telephone system!
Over the past 25 years Trident Honda has benefited from having a telephone system with bulletproof reliability; but, following the merger of our Weybridge dealership with Ottershaw, it is fair to say that our telephone system has on occasion struggled to cope with peak call volumes.
We believe that Trident Honda is a very special business indeed. Established in 1963 by Michael Roberts, Trident Honda is today managed by his sons - Richard is our managing director, Christopher is our finance and IT director and James is our director of used car operations.
But Trident Honda is much more than just a family business, Trident Honda also benefits from an astonishingly low staff turnover - this means that you will always recognise our team and very likely be recognised in return.
Honda took to the stage at Geneva to announce the further acceleration of its electrification ambitions. The company announced its intention to move 100 per cent of its European sales to electrified powertrains by 2025. This new ambition builds on the brand's 2017 aim of two-thirds of its sales to be electrified by 2025, and places it firmly at the forefront of Honda's global electrification shift announced as part of its 2030 vision.
Thanks to billions of pounds of investment by the motor industry, the latest Euro 6 diesels are the cleanest and safest ever, so it's good news that more people can now take advantage of them as they start to filter into the used car market (Used Euro6 Cars at Trident Honda). These models will not face charges anywhere in Britain under the government's Clean Air Zone proposals.
