auto show: Global automakers' hopes that booming China
will drive sales this year as demand elsewhere slumps.General Motors Corp. plans to show 42 models at Auto China 2008. Volkswagen AG is debuting two cars designed with domestic partners for the China market. More than 100 others ranging from luxury automakers Daimler AG and Bentley to ambitious Chinese upstarts are showing off compacts, sedans and SUVs."The interest is unprecedented for automakers. It's become one of the industry's main events," said Tim Dunne, director of Asia-Pacific market intelligence for J.D.

We're expected to increase sales as awareness increases."GM has been advertising the Tahoe and Yukon Two

Hybrid cars: Great on gas, but too quiet? 2008-04-18 10:28:00 OCALA - In recent years, hybrid-powered vehicles have become mainstream on American roads.Toyota dealer Frank DeLuca said his Ocala dealership was selling three or four Prius hybrid cars a month two years ago. Today, sales are more than 20 a month, he said.With electric motors to supplement gasoline engines, the hybrids can offer better gas mileage and generate less air pollution than their gas-only counterparts.But advocates for the blind say such vehicles pose a potential threat to blind people because of their low noise level relative to gas-powered cars."Blind people are unable to hear them, and of course, hearing [cars] is how we navigate safely and effectively," said National Federation of the Blind spokesman Chris Danielsen. "Blind people cannot hear these vehicles ... There have be Read more:Hybrid

The Aptera and the VW GX3 would be very different rides 2008-04-28 11:43:00 The Atera and the VW GX3 both are three wheel cars with two front wheels and one back wheel. There the similarity ends. The Aptera was originally designed as an electric car that has added a hybrid twin. The VW is strictly gasoline.The Aptera gets about 120 miles per charge in the electric concept car or about 230 mpg in the hybrid. Although Aptera will exceed 85 mph and will go from 0 to 60 in under 10 seconds, the car is designed to be safe, affordable, and energy efficient. The futuristic design has greatly improved the aerodynamics to decrease wind resistance and increase fuel efficiency.The VW GX3 was designed with power in mind to be a ” pure driving machine”. This three wheel convertible, will reach speeds of 125 mph and will go from 0-60 in 5. 7 seconds. The car is mostly engin Read more:different
Civic Hybrid Gets Great Mileage 2008-05-07 08:16:00 After testing sprawling sedans and lumbering SUVs, it was nice to slip into my Honda CivicHybrid
test car. Wearing a somber Magnetic Pearl, it called no attention to itself as I slithered in and out of traffic on my daily commute. And, despite its smaller size and lower profile, I felt comfortable peering through the stretched-out windshield and over the Civic’s unique and colorful two-level instrument panel.The original Civic was born in the early 1970s during the gas crises of that era (“Oh my god — gas is up to 60 cents a gallon!”).Over the years, the Civic has grown from a tiny hatchback to a compact sedan, today — big enough for a family of four. With a spacious and futuristic redesign in 2006, it became the ideal car for a large proportion of the population. Any Civic, fro Read more:Great
