A rubbish idea won a Brit top prize in Honda"s worldwide employee competition. Every year, staff are asked to devise solutions to internal problems. This year, Natascia Leone (image) from Honda"s UK press office won with her idea for recycling waste. But the prize - an all-expenses-paid trip to Istanbul, Turkey - was anything but trash!

The GM-owned manufacturer has launched a performance version of the Lacetti hatch, and hinted that a hot estate could arrive later this year.
As well as a new 120bhp 1.8-litre engine, the flagship Lacetti Sport comes with lowered suspension and a leather interior. It goes on sale in September, priced í‚á£11,995. An estate version arrives at the same time.
Speaking at the Motor Show, a Daewoo spokesman added: "We"re considering a Sport load-lugger, too, but no decision has yet been made. The estate on our stand has the lowered suspension, so adding a bodykit and leather would make a Sport Wagon."
Meanwhile, Daewoo"s Kalos Blue has been renamed Sport as it now comes in other colours. And the í‚á£6,495 Matiz Xtra Cool is the UK"s cheapest car with standard air-con.
