WASHINGTON (AP) — Some sport utility vehicles don’t provide the protection in a side crash that one might expect from such large vehicles, according to tests released Thursday by the insurance industry.

’s capital will introduce a &lsquo
;car free day’ every
month even though an experiment last month failed due to poor publicity.The light traffic in Jakarta during the Eid-ul-Fitr (the end of fasting month of Ramadan) holiday had shown a considerable reduction in air pollution, convincing the capital’s administration to have the ‘car free day’ more frequently, Antara news agency Sunday quoted the capital’s governor Fauzi Bowo as saying.‘We estimated that 70 percent of air pollution in Jakarta came from vehicle emission,’ Fauzi said.Last month, the local government declared the main thoroughfare free from car on a Saturday. But the trial run was poorly communicated, and many people were unawares. The traffic, which was normally light on Saturdays, became heavily congested in Central Jakarta.With a population of about 10 million, Jakarta is the largest city in Indonesia.

Vietnam’s car price problem 2007-10-21 06:12:48
Car price
s in Vietnam
are notoriously high and authorities seem keen on keeping it that way as long as they can.
With 10 years until an ASEAN agreement to cut Vietnam’s car import taxes comes into effect, the government looks like it may hold onto its high auto taxes while it can.
CEO of Ford Vietnam Michael Pease said the price of a 2007 Ford Escape is a breakthrough on Vietnam’s auto market.
“Ford Escape 2007 is US$2,700 cheaper than last year’s model,” he says.
He predicted that the vehicle – at a total price of $35,900 including taxes – would become the most popular SUV in Vietnam.
The same car, however, is $15,000 less expensive in Thailand and $11,000 less in the U.S.

Volkswagen set up new car prices 2008 fighting to Toyota 2007-10-21 01:07:57
Martin Winterkorn, chief executive of Germany-based automobile manufacturer Volkswagen
, has been quoted as saying that the company plans to review the pricing of its US cars more aggressively and intends to remove some of the costly features not favored by the local customers, reported Reuters.
The move is seen as an effort to lessen the sales gap between Volkswagen and Japan-based Toyota
Motor, Reuters reported, citing the Wall Street Journal Europe as its source.
The report quoted Mr Winterkorn as saying: “We have definitely added too many technical items that (American) customers don’t want to pay for.”

Thailand september 2007 sale ranking 2007-10-21 00:47:20
The second-best September haul ever closed out the third quarter with sales of 53,491 new vehicles taking the total so far this year to 451,326 units, or down 7.6% compared to the same period last year.
According to figures compiled by Toyota, September’s performance surpassed the mark set last year _ 49,383 vehicles _ but it failed to better the record of 55,137 units sold in the same month two years ago.
For the automobile industry, it was the third best monthly return this year _ after March (56,021) and August (54,163) _ and it helped arrest a sales slide that until then had been running at a high 9.4% compared to last year to 7.6%, a turnaround that can be attributed to improved political and economic conditions.

Nissan QASHQAI 1 Travels 1 Tank of Fuel 2007-10-21 00:38:46
CRANFIELD, Bedfordshire, UK (Oct. 15, 2007) - How far can the average customer drive a NissanQASHQAI
on one tank of fuel? The entire length of the UK and more if they drive economically.
Seven test drivers from the Nissan Technical Centre Europe (NTCE) in Cranfield, Bedfordshire, proved this recently when they took turns piloting a 1.5dCI QASHQAI from Land’s End on the southwest coast of England to John O’Groats on the northern tip of Scotland without once stopping to refuel. The drivers, who set off at 6 am on Sept. 25, averaged 67.35 mpg (4.2 l/100 km) on the 867 mile (1,387 km) run - a common route for UK endurance and economy tests. To their delight, there was still another seven litres of fuel left in the tank when they crossed the finish line at 17:30 the next day, enough to cover a further 110 miles (176 km).
