It has to do with excellence. It has to do with passion. That's how Honda parts work. This is what sets Honda Motor Limited Company, and thus, Honda parts, from the rest of its competitors and competitor products vying to capture its much coveted place in the automotive world market today. Tough it has lesser numbers of assembly plants compared to another Japanese automaker, Toyota, Honda is the largest engine manufacturer that operates on an international scale. Founded in 1948, just three years after the war had ravaged the world, particularly after the nuclear bomb had surprised citizens of the world near and far, the Honda Motor Limited Company was born.

Soichiro Honda was the founding genius behind the success of Honda. A brilliant mechanic, he conceived an innovative design for piston rings in 1938 that he attempted to sell to Toyota. It wasn't until two years after that his efforts would pay off and that he would be able to build the Honda piston manufacturing company to supply Toyota with these auto parts. Then the war began and left the country in economic ruin. Most companies didn't survive and Honda was one of them. But, though the country was in desperate straits, with people left and right, homeless as well as hungry and those who were able, paying astronomically high prices for food and fuel, Honda utilized what was left of the component facilities and rigged an engine to a bicycle. Though primitive in appearance and design, it served its purpose: it was low-cost and it was competent--exactly what the people needed.

In the years that would follow, Honda would adapt this same principle that would prove effective for its expansion programs as well as for its Honda cars and Honda parts campaigns. Because more than the market demands, what Honda answered with its production of motorcycles of a long line of products that now include trucks, scooters, along with jet engines in conjunction with its role in jet production, were specific consumer needs. After the first few post-war years, when everyone feared that the best minds and the best people in the world were dead, companies like Honda, among some others, strove to prove the world wrong. When the 50's ushered in a new era, it found Japan trying to pick itself up again. Granted, it was a little wobbly on its pins but the economic scope was definitely looking up and businesses like Honda were not one to give up. In 1947, Honda A-Type was produced, and a year later, the company was officially established. Honda Motor Limited Company was back on its feet.

In 1958, the American Honda Company made its presence known in the market, launching its first model in US soil a year after with the 59 Honda Super Cub. With the approach of the late 1960s, Honda was already a name in itself in world markets, having finally broken into the conservative British markets with a measure of success at this time. In the 1970s, Honda was already the largest motorcycle maker in the world. Up to this day, Honda's trademark excellence, passion and dedication to the work still continues to be incorporated in its products, namely in its engines, in its usual line of auto components and other auto replacements parts.

Nissan CEO Confident About 4.2 Million-vehicle Sales

Last year, the Japanese car company Nissan Motor Company was overtaken by the Honda Motor Corporation for the distinction of being Japan’s second largest car manufacturer. This fact though has not stopped the company from proclaiming that they will aim to sell 4.2 million vehicles last fiscal year. Unfortunately though for Nissan, the lowered sales in Japan and the United States has led to a dismal sales output. In fact, the company recorded its first setback last fiscal year under its Chief Executive Officer Carlos Ghosn.

Although the company failed to reach their mark and having admitted that they will need another year to achieve that goal, Ghosn is confident that the struggling Japanese car manufacturer will be able to reach their goal this time around.

One of the reasons for the declining sales for Nissan in the United States is the housing problems faced by many Americans. This problem has also led to declining sales for other car manufactures. In fact, even the surging Toyota suffered from a decreased number of sales last month.

Another reason for Nissan’s plunge is the lack of choices in their lineup. Nissan also offers fewer small cars in eth global auto market. It is one of the reasons for the declining Nissan sales since the increasing prices of gasoline has forced consumers to switch to smaller and more fuel efficient cars. Nissan though has taken steps to make sure that they will be in a position to provide consumers with smaller cars in the near future. This step to answer the demand for smaller cars is seen as the way for Nissan to achieve their 4.2 million vehicle sales target.

Showing confidence on the capabilities of Nissan, Carlos Ghosn has this to say: “4.2 million cars isn't an objective in itself - the real objective is the creation of value - but I think it is within the potential of the company, not 10 years down the road but in a reasonable period of time.” He also maintained that he will not give up on the target that Nissan has set. He also stated that he has to accept the fact that they have lost a year in reaching their goal. It is of course the lowered sales in Japan and the United States that has affected Nissan the most.

To increase their productivity and sales, Nissan and alliance partner Renault has announced that they will be investing in India. Renault has already released the Logan vehicle in the said country. Nissan is also expected to increase their presence in India in the near future.

Nissan announced that they will be specifically producing small cars for the country. This step is taken as the Indian auto market showed increasing growth. Even Ford, General Motors, and Volkswagen have expressed their interest in the country’s auto market. With Nissan’s dedication to sell small car in India, it is expected that the country will soon have its streets packed with Nissan vehicles with their Nissan catalytic converter and what not.

While Nissan and Renault have already joined hands especially in the Indian auto market, there are talks about including another partner to the alliance. Last year, the alliance had talks with the largest car manufacturer in the world General Motors. The talks though came to an end after both parties disagreed on how to bring General Motors into the fold of the alliance. In India though, both companies are looking for Indian car manufacturers to become their partner as they increase their presence at the fourth largest Asian car market. If all goes well for Nissan in their bid to expand business in India and if they succeed in producing smaller cars to cater to the demand of consumers, it is just a matter of time before the Japanese car manufacture achieved its sales goal.

How much to replace a catalytic converter for a 97 Chevy Monte Carlo?

Hi,

How much total cost (parts+labor) should I expect to replace a 1997 Chevy Monte Carlo catalytic converter? Also, how much just for the part itself?

I will be looking for a muffler shop, because I heard it is cheaper than an all-service-auto-shop (I hope that is true).

Thanks!

It will probably be anywhere from 300 to 700 dollars. I believe there is an O2 sensor behind the cat on that car. If that is the case, you will not want to go with anything cheap. If you live in a state that has strict emissions laws, taking out the cat all together will be a bad idea. I have seen the cat itself go from 200-600 just for the part. It all depends on where you go and what they use. Good luck!
