We were invited to “Honda AlGhanim’s Official Launch Event” at Kuwait ice skating rink last Sunday. The launch included a number of acts and performances by different groups, and a special performance by a guest star.

The show started at 8:30 as planned, the seats were almost full and organization was perfect, with a guest list including the Japanese ambassador, AlGhanim family members and Honda representatives. The show started with a word from the show host stating that this event is to celebrate a new era of partnership between AlGhanim Industries and Honda Motors Company.

A documentary about AlGhanim was demonstrated and how AlGhanim had a key role in Kuwait industry. AlGhanim operates in more than 40 countries working with 400 brands. Also talking about Honda development and productions through years and how technology & engineering dreams comes to life in their facilities.Later on “Ma’ayof ” Kuwaiti folklore band made an “Aarda “show, a traditional Kuwaiti music and dance.

AlGhanimHondaEventThen another documentary about Honda showed the development of Humanoid. The work and science put together to produce the first functional smart Humanoid “ASIMO”. ASIMO is a humanoid created by Honda engineers to offer a better life solution, afterword ASIMO 2 (the latest version of ASIMO) came to stage walking without any help! Accept me using “he” instead of “it” as he really looks like a small Astronaut.

The host started talking to ASIMO and he replied accordingly. ASIMO can walk, balance on one foot, go upstairs, avoid obstacles and shake hands using advance technology and three types of sensors, 2 cameras in the head, infrared sensor and ultra-sonic sensor which allows him to see and identify the person height and shape in front of him. Then he was asked to bring juice and tea which he did and smartly walked slowly to avoid spelling the drinks, later he started playing football, shaking hands and even dancing.

However as a surprise, Kajemu came to stage showing us his visual symphony kung-Fu show which combine digital projections with Japanese culture and martial arts, you can see Kajemu work in YouTube as he fights shadows with glowing nunchaku. I really loved his performance and was so happy to see him in Kuwait.

The best were saved for last. The famous singer Hussain AlJasmi came to stage and made the crowd go crazy over his beautiful voice performing his most popular songs.

Thanks AlGhanim Motors and Honda for this great event. Follow AlGhanim Honda Motors in Facebook, Twitter and Instagram @AlghanimHondakw.

MercedesBenzE300Mercedes Benz the luxury German Car Brand is one of the cars I had an experience to test drive. Mercedes Benz E300 AMG 2014 is the latest car from Mercedes Benz launched at Mercedes Benz Kuwait Showrooms. Therefore I would like to share up my experience with test driving the car and the features of E300 AMG 2014.

The first impression to me is I’m the first person locally to drive test the car. There is no big difference between the E series 2013 and 2014 but only some difference of the exterior design front and back. The E300 AMG 2014 engine is made of V6 3.5 litres, with 248 horse power @ 6,500 rpm (185 kW) and transmission of 7-speed automatic/sport/manual.

MercedesBenzE300InteriorInterior Design of E300 AMG

The design is made by the cabin’s premium feel, with the dark aluminum trim, high quality materials and craftsmanship. Although the leather colour and material we’re so impressed looks unique and classic. The car roof also covers a full panoramic roof. Upon the standard technology ranges from ambient lighting to command the car radio tuner, navigation, and entertainment system. What I loved from the interior design is you feel driving a classic style sporty car.

MercedesBenzE300AMGExterior Design of E300 AMG

The E series exterior design has changed completely in the past three years. The new E300 AMG 2014 series exterior design has don’t changed a lot compared to the 2013 generation. The car style from outside is made combined of classic and sporty car. Shape cut and design front of the car impressed me a lot, in particular the car front LED lights shape and two-louvre radiator.

MercedesBenzE300DecorationCar Gears & Steering Wheel

It was new to me driving with a different gear as you see above in the image. To set the car to driving position just move the gear downward and to park the car just press one button and you will be a parking position. Steering wheel of the car build in with radio volume button, communication buttons and other functionality.

MercedesBenzE300RTechTechnology

E300 AMG 2014 covers new advanced technologies such as:

  • Navigation System
  • Screen Video Play
  • Radio
  • Mobile Bluetooth Communication Connect
  • iPod and other devices connection
  • CD/Memory card player
  • Convenient in-car internet access
  • Linguatronic voice control
  • Camera
  • Surround Sensor

The new technology is the most part of I really liked and I wish if the new cars could include the safety surround sensor. As you see above in the image, the arrow icon changes to yellow when you want to turn left/right, and that gives you a notice to the driver. Also the same arrow icon bulb up to red when any car is next to you and that gives you a sensor alert. This function what I really liked and that the innovative safety technology built by Mercedes Benz.

Driving Experience

Regarding the driving experience, E300 AMG 2013 car is fully safe and surrounded me with safety technology. I really completely comfortable during driving both in classic/sport motion.

CarServiceCurrently these days I’m planning to sell my car and get a brand new car. I’m getting some feedbacks/comments from different people about the car dealer services after sale. I had a excellent experience with AlBabtain Auto Devision Group in the past three years. Most people suggest me to search the best dealer after services before buying a car, so I would like to hear your recommendation to help to go to which car brand and local dealer.

Kuwait Buses In Summer

May 12th, 2013 | Posted by Khalil in Automotive | Economy | Kuwait Life | Others - (0 Comments)

KuwaitBusesI think everyone see’s these buses in summer changes by opening the bus motor cover and keep driving. The reason of opening the motor cover is for cooling up the motors because in summer it start’s to heat-up.

Kuwait is a rich country and it’s really sadly enough for me to see these buses driving crazy with the motor covers open. This cause really bad environment and could cause harm to us. Of course there is an alternative solution to it, but the company management don’t care about it. I guarantee myself I will keep seeing these buses like this everyday in summer and everyone keep’s watching.

DubaiPoliceCarsDubai developed a wonderful strategy of innovating their police cars to luxury cars. Recently Dubai added additional luxury police cars such as Chevrolet Camaro, BMW 5 series, Lamborghini Aventador and a Ferrari FF. While three more new brands added lately Aston Martin, Bentley and Mercedes SLS. I think this strategy/idea is great for an advanced city like Dubai.
