Press Release

At the New York International Auto Show in Manhattan today the Volkswagen Polo has been declared the 2010 World Car of the Year. Merit, value, safety, environment, significance and emotional appeal are the criterias for the World Car of the Year. Already in 2009, a Volkswagen model ranked the highest: the Golf. This year the top three contenders for World Car of the Year title were, in alphabetical order, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, the Toyota Prius and the Volkswagen Polo.
"We’re honored that the Volkswagen Polo was chosen by this distinguished group of jurors," said Prof. Dr. Martin Winterkorn, Chairman of the Board of Management of Volkswagen AG. "After the great triumph of the Golf last year, we are delighted to repeat this success with the new Polo. These automobiles have reaped numerous awards, winning well-nigh every prize the automotive industry has to award. This shows Volkswagen is on the right track and is offering arguably the best range of products in its history."
The award was received in New York City on thursday morning by Walter de Silva, head of design Volkswagen Group. „The new Volkswagen Polo generation fascinates both ways - by its uncomplicated, unique and timeless design plus its high efficiency. Already more than 230,000 customers worldwide placed their orders."
Now in their seventh year, the annual World Car awards have become one of the world’s most prestigious, credible and significant programs of its kind. The majority of the 59 World Car jurors from 25 countries throughout the world chose the Polo from 30 entries. Each juror drives and evaluates new vehicles on a regular basis as part of their on-going full-time professional work. Through their respective outlets they collectively reach an audience of many millions worldwide.

The Ford Edge

Okay, we have to admit that when we first heard of this award, we chuckled a bit to ourselves. Pet Safe Vehicle of the Year, really? No one ever really thinks about the safety of their pets when choosing their vehicle except for maybe Bark Buckle UP’s founder Pet Safety Lady, Christina Selter.
"Most people don’t think about it, but in only a 35 mph accident with a 60-pound pet it becomes a 2,700-pound projectile. This will injure the pet, passengers, driver or the pet may escape the vehicle and cause a second accident or become agitated and bite the first responder that is on scene doing their job," stated Selter.
With this in mind, Selter announced this year’s Pet Safe Vehicle of the Year, the Ford Edge. The award was accepted by Brett Burin, Ford Edge Marketing Manager.
"We look ahead with excitement this summer to the arrival of the new 2011 Edge, which adds even more revolutionary technology and class-leading performance. And with a suite of safety features, flexible seating and nearly 70 cubic feet of cargo space, the Ford Edge is perfect for those traveling with pets," said Brett Burin, Ford Edge Marketing Manager.
We still think it is a little silly, but, hey, if it is grand enough to be done at the 2010 New York Auto Show then it has our attention and little Fido’s attention too.

Bark Buckle UP – the recognized leader and experts for pet travel safety – awarded the Pet Safe Choice Vehicle Awards "TOP DOG" today at the 2010 New York International Auto Show. This year, Bark Buckle UP’s founder Pet Safety Lady Christina Selter and her furry friends awarded "TOP DOG" Pet Safe Vehicle of Choice and announced the Pet Safe Hotel, Retailer, and Airline of choice. During the presentation, Greg Kleva, host of Martha Stewart radio show "It’s a Dogs Life," the Pet Safety Lady, and furry friends wearing the Doggie Seat Belt hopped in and out of cars and stole the show with their animal antics and demonstrations of dog and car travel safety.
This year’s Pet Safe winners included the Ford Edge (Vehicle of the Year), BassPro Shops (Retailer of the Year), Sheraton Hotels (Hotel of the Year) and Southwest Airlines (Airline of the Year).
"Most people don’t think about it, but in only a 35 mph accident with a 60-pound pet it becomes a 2,700-pound projectile. This will injure the pet, passengers, driver or the pet may escape the vehicle and cause a second accident or become agitated and bite the first responder that is on scene doing their job," stated Selter.
The registered vehicles are evaluated on a variety of pet-related aspects, including how easily the vehicle accommodates animals and kennels of various sizes, ease of access to pet from within the vehicle, ease of pet entry and exit, ventilation for animals in the rear, as well as whether the vehicle has pet-friendly surfaces, adaptability for third party pet travel or safety gear. Ford received four out of the top ten honors for 2010 Pet Safe Vehicles of Choice List, including the Ford Transit Connect, Edge and Flex and the Lincoln MKT.
"With more than 340,000 vehicles sold since it was originally launched in late 2006, the Ford Edge has been meeting the needs of customers who demand style, technology, performance and capability in a compelling package," said Brett Burin, Ford Edge Marketing Manager.

Mitsubishi Motors

New Mitsubishi L200
The new Mitsubishi L200 will now be available with Walkinshaw Performance. Tom Walkinshaw began his motorsports career in 1968 and then formed Tom Walkinshaw Racing in 1975.
Now with over 30 years’ experience in performance engineering, they have turned their expertise on the special edition new Mitsubishi L200 double cab pick-up.
The new Mitsubishi L200 Walkinshaw Performance will benefit from, besides other standard equipment, a 20 inch ‘Equinox’ alloy wheels and tyres, Walkinshaw Performance leather seats, Walkinshaw Performance decal stickers, 168PS Rallitronic power upgrade, DVD satellite navigation system with 7 inch screen, cruise control, ‘Mitsubishi Power’ sound system (420 watts), Bluetooth connectivity,CD Auto-changer, and stainless steel fuel filler cap, tailgate cover and door handle covers.
In addition, customers buying new Mitsubishi’s L200 ‘Walkinshaw Performance’ can opt for enhanced ride, handling and performance courtesy of a ‘Walkinshaw Performance’ sports suspension and exhaust upgrade kit.
The new Mitsubishi L200 Walkinshaw Performance will be available in Starlight Silver, Cosmos Black, Graphite Grey, Aztec Red and Sapphire Blue, with metallic and pearlescent paint as an additional option.
Pricing will range from £21,499.00 (CV List Price) for the L200 2.5 DI-D Walkinshaw Performance Double Cab Manual (excluding the Ralliart power upgrade) to £22,799.00 for the L200 2.5 DI-D Walkinshaw Performance Double Cab Automatic (including Rallitronic power upgrade).
The post-registration sports suspension and exhaust upgrade kit is available from the Walkinshaw Performance Group for £2,595 plus VAT.
The Walkinshaw Performance sports suspension and exhaust upgrade has already been winning awards, including the 2008 4x4 and MPV Driver Innovation of the Year Award.
The post-registration upgrade compromises none of the new Mitsubishi’s L200’s award winning off road capabilities or load capacity status, meaning the L200 Walkinshaw Performance is still a practical work horse, as well as a performance SUV with outstanding ride and handling characteristics.

Mitsubishi Endeavor
The Mitsubishi Endeavor is a mid-size crossover SUV built by Mitsubishi Motors at their manufacturing facility in Normal, Illinois. Based on the PS platform, it was the first vehicle built under Mitsubishi's "Project America", a program aimed at introducing vehicles for North America without having to compromise to accommodate other export markets.
Its design origins can be traced back to the Mitsubishi SSU which debuted at the 1999 North American International Auto Show, although the Endeavor does not share the concept's mechanical underpinnings. The prototype was powered by a 310 PS version of the 6A13TT 2.5 L twin-turbo V6, which directed the power to a full-time all wheel drive system through its INVECS-II five-speed semi-automatic transmission and AYC. When the Endeavor debuted, it used the 6G75 3.8 L V6 offering 215 hp (improved to 225 hp in 2004) and 250 ft·lbf, mated to a four-speed semi-automatic transmission with an optional all wheel drive system that splits the torque 50/50 by default.
The Endeavor's performance in the marketplace has to date failed to meet Mitsubishi's expectations. On its release in March 2003 the company aimed for 80,000 annual sales but achieved only 32,054 by the end of its debut year. It received a mild restyle for the 2006 model year, but has received no significant changes yet in its lifetime.

Type:
Front-engine, all-wheel drive, five-passenger sport utility vehicle

Engine:
3.8-liter V-6
215-hp
250 lb-ft torque

EPA fuel economy:
17 miles per gallon city/21 mpg highway

Likes:
Good ride quality and control. Terrific chassis dynamics. Roomy and comfy cabin.

More commanding presence than Honda Pilot or Toyota Highlander. Lots of storage space, including deep glovebox and center bin. Very chunky, industrial-looking interior. Cool blue-lit gauges and controls. Good second-row amenities, including power outlet and fan. No fussing around with full-time all-wheel drive.

The Mitsubishi Raider PickUp Truck
is a pickup truck from Mitsubishi Motors that debuted in the fall of 2005 as a 2006 model for the United States market and is based on the Dodge Dakota. The Raider filled the gap in the Mitsubishi lineup since the discontinuation of the Mighty Max in 1996. The Raider is built in the United States by DaimlerChrysler. Engine choices included a 4.7 L PowerTech V8 making 230 hp and 290 ft·lbf and a 3.7 L PowerTech V6 which produced 210 hp. It is also Mitsubishi's first V8 engine for North America.
The name is recycled from the Dodge Raider SUV sold from 1987 to 1990, which was a rebadged Mitsubishi Montero.
377 and 492 units were sold in January and February 2006 respectively, compared to 4,583 and 6,260 Dakotas. Mitsubishi dealers reportedly have a six-month supply of Raiders on their lots, and the company asked DaimlerChrysler to cut production.[1] 9,861 Raiders were built in 2005, and just 297 more were built from the first of the year through March 11, 2006 according to Automotive News.
Recently a concept truck was rebadged as the Street Raider and designed by Mitsubishi's California design studio. It first appeared at the 2005 SEMA automotive show and since then has been shown at various automotive shows around the United States. It includes 22 inch custom wheels, custom dual exhaust, and a lowered stance among other features not found on a stock Raider. The Street Raider carries a mooted price tag of $60,000, although there are no current plans to sell it.

effectiveness of oil car

OWNER cars in big cities do not nan busy have time to open the engine room to check the existence of a car engine oil, in terms of volume and thickness (viscosity). The presence of engine oil, allowing the replacement of more than 10 000 kilometers of distance covered, making the vehicle owners do not care anymore for the existence and function of engine oil for their vehicles. In fact, oil is no longer effectively carry out its function as a lubricant for the engine can be identified from the cabin behind the wheel or vehicle where the owner is located.

Reading the effectiveness of vehicle engine oil is pertinent to the funds. Oli who was "lackluster" would obviously shorten engine life. This is clearly associated with greater investment to repair or replace a new car engine. In fact, there is a car that was not the least price. And even more offended when the credit has not been completed as well.

Actually not too difficult in reading performance engine oil that pelumasannya power was no longer effective. Everything can be felt, heard, or viewed directly, especially if you're behind the wheel of a car that is being used. Latest cars oil pressure indicator is provided within the driver's cabin, but all that does not absolutely show the effectiveness of lubricants.

Crake
Engine oil is known to have a function to reduce friction or wear of some components in the machine that works and move when the engine life. Antarkomponen metal friction in machinery such as valves / valve engine, gear in the machine, it becomes increasingly loud if the lubricant is no longer effective in its function in reducing friction or wear.

One thing that also should be sure and true that the volume of lubricant in the engine was appropriate. Also lubricants are incorporated into the engine cavity is in conformity with the type of machine such as gasoline or diesel engines, and engine life. Lubricant characteristics, namely, SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers), which determines the level of viscosity (viscosity) lubricants and API (American Petroleum Institute) is a guidance to the quality of lubricants, is also quite appropriate.

Lubricants for diesel engines in terms of quality guidelines (API) always preceded the letter C (commercial) such as CD or CF. Gasoline engine starting letter S (service station) such as SG or SJ. In terms of consistency, old machines clearly need to require lubricants with high viscosity as SAE 20 W-50, whereas the new machine with thin viscosity such as SAE 5W-50 or 10W-40. W stands for winter (winter) in which the viscosity reached number 20 (20 W) and the heat reached 50.

If all these technical terms are violated, it could be a car engine noise grew louder. For example, a lubricant for the new engine used on the old machine, certainly not a lot of work in reducing the level of friction or conflict of metal components in the engine. These errors can be detected in the morning when the machine is turned on, you hear a loud engine valves due to the lack of fully functional lubricant in reducing friction.

Acceleration is reduced
Ineffectiveness of lubricants can also feel the pull of the machine that feels diminished. Acceleration of the car when the green light, or when sliding on the highway, seemed less steady. Antarkomponen metal friction in the machine clearly getting clogged when the lubricant is not enough in between the components that rub against each other. In accumulation, the friction that is stagnating effect on the resulting power or acceleration of a car engine. Terrace car when driven hard. Furthermore, not only short-lived engine, but also wasteful fuel consumption.

In this case, no wonder that there is a kind of unwritten agreement that the new car should not be driven fast. Also that engine is not being forced to pull heavy loads loads. All this because the machine on new cars tend to have antarkomponen metal friction level is very high.

This agreement can be erased or start later vanished since begun to appear with various brands of lubricant viscosity of the liquid level specially created for a new car engine. This liquid lubricant (rank / grade SL or SJ for gasoline engines and CJ-4, CH-4, CG-4, or CF-4 for diesel engines) are able to penetrate freely into the crevices of new machines is still very narrow practical .

Given the importance of lubrication in the engine, while the level of activity that does not allow time and space to open space car engine, actually detect the effectiveness of lubricants with the feeling, listening and watching from behind the wheel is accurate enough to get to the garage to replace existing lubricants. Fall off the car engine obviously need funds to buy much larger than 5 liters or four liters of engine oil.

History Mini Cooper

Sir Alec Issigonis' original Mini of 1959 set new standards in design and engineering. Issigonis produced his masterpiece as an answer to the European fuel crisis of the late 1950s. Issigonis was challenged to produce a car four feet wide by four feet high and 10 feet long that would seat four adults in comfort and take their luggage to boot.

An automotive icon, his design lasted decades in virtually original form. His revolutionary concept of a transverse engine with submounted transmission allowed compact external dimensions with maximum interior space. Combining economical transport, character and fun, Mini became a car for everyone, from celebrity to the everyday person in the street

The front‑wheel drive, wheel‑at-each‑corner design was not only space-efficient, but was soon to prove extremely roadworthy. In 1961, the Mini Cooper, engineered by race car constructor the late John Cooper, was launched. This car set new motor sport standards and took triple Monte Carlo rally wins between 1964 and 1967 amongst a host of competitive titles. The Cooper name has been closely associated with performance Minis ever since and appropriately the MINI Cooper, was the first car in the new MINI range to be unveiled.

As Mini gained its extra power it combined its inherent personality with a great driving experience for any motorist. The car became Britain’s best-ever selling vehicle with over 5.3 million produced. The first Morris Mini-Minor was made in Oxford, the home of the new MINI and Minis have been made in Europe, South America and Australia.

Mini, a household name in Europe, was sold in the U.S. between 1960 and 1967, and around 10,000 cars were sold in that time. Over thirty years later, some 12000 cars are on U.S. roads today. (maybe they breed). At the end of its production life in 2000, 5.3 million Minis had been produced and the car was voted ‘European Car of the Century’ by a panel of 130 international journalists.

The MINI Cooper is a modern development of this genuine classic. Building on the classic Mini styling cues, it offers the very latest technology, and is one of the most advanced cars of its size in the world. Designed for handling and performance, great looks and safety, the MINI Cooper, is a real motoring enthusiasts car. Like the original, the new MINI is designed to appeal to all drivers regardless of age or gender. Such is the interest in the new MINI that there were fan‑based U.S. websites for the car well before it hit the streets.

The MINI brand is reintroduced to the U.S. in 2002. The Classic MINI was sold in the U.S. from 1960-1967. The Classic Mini was withdrawn from sale in 1967 with the introduction of new emissions regulations. Approximately 10,000 Classic Minis were sold in this period and 12,000 Minis are on U.S. roads today. Mini Owners’ Clubs exist throughout North America.

The new MINI Cooper is the first all-new product from the MINI brand since its inception in 1959. The 11' 10" Cooper features the latest in BMW Group engineering and safety technology such as six airbags, all‑round disc brakes as standard, and features such as Dynamic Stability Control and Electronic Brake Distribution are available as options.

There is no other car like the MINI Cooper in the U.S. marketplace: MINI Cooper's size, quality, engineering, and distinctive design gives the car a unique position. MINI is creating a completely new market in the U.S., the small, premium car sector.

The Mini Cooper

Issigonis‘ friend John Cooper, owner of the Cooper Car Company and designer and builder of Formula One and rally cars, saw the potential of the Mini for competition. Issigonis was initially reluctant to see the Mini in the role of a performance car, but after John Cooper appealed to BMC management, the two men collaborated to create the Mini Cooper, a nimble, economical and inexpensive car. The Austin Mini Cooper and Morris Mini Cooper debuted in 1961.
The original 848 cc engine from the Morris Mini-Minor was increased to 997 cc, boosting power from 34 bhp to 55 bhp (25 to 41 kW).The car featured a racing-tuned engine, twin SU carburettors, a closer-ratio gearbox and front disc brakes, uncommon at the time in a small car. One thousand units of this version were commissioned by management, intended for and designed to meet the homologation rules of Group 2 rally racing. The 997 cc engine was replaced by a shorter stroke 998 cc unit in 1964.

The Mini Cooper is a tiny little car that is great on gas, handles like a sports car, fits four adults and is cute to look at.

Why was the Mini Cooper Developed and Manufactured?
While many countries around the globe were faced with a series of fuel shortages in the 1950s, the British Motor Company (BMC) decided that it was it time to design and build a gas conscious vehicle than could appeal to the masses. Thus, Lord Nuffield engaged designer Sir Alec Issigonis with the task of creating a “microcar” that would be excellent on gas while at the same time able to compete with the other companies’ small vehicles that had already hit the automotive industry.

What was the Precursor to the Mini Cooper?
The Mini Cooper Classic Cars was launched on August 26, 1959 sporting room for four adults, gas economy, and the bonus feature of handling like a sports car. This model was not, however, the actual Mini Cooper which subsequently debuted later in 1962.

How did the Mini finally become Popular?
The first person to give credence to the sales of the Mini was Queen Elizabeth. Once she was seen driving the car and subsequently various celebrities owning the vehicle, the population at large had to have the car.

What Prompted the Launch of the Mini Cooper?
John Cooper was a designer who built cars that won Formula One championships. As a result, he approached BMC about the possibility of a joint venture between his racing engine and the Classic Mini. The Mini Cooper was born in 1961 and launched to the public in 1962.

How Successful was the Mini Cooper?
The new revolutionary model of vehicle was so successful that it overtook the Monte Carlo Rally. Coupled with the original benefits of the Mini and now the consistent, outstanding race performances, the Mini Cooper was set to become hugely popular.

In fact, it became a must-have commodity, a fashion statement. The Mini Cooper was one of those odd items that crossed all social status. Cheap to buy but desired by all classes, it did not matter whether the car was a luxury vehicle or not.

What Happened Later?
Eventually interest in the Mini waned and sales were slow in the 1980s. And then after several changes in corporate structure, many limited edition models were introduced into the market to revamp the name and the line. Since 2001, the company has been and still is a division of BMW.

The first generation of the car, initially known as the Colt Galant, was released in December 1969. Three models were available, powered by the new 'Saturn' engine in 1.3 (AI model) or 1.5 L (AII and AIII) configurations. The design was dubbed "Dynawedge" by Mitsubishi, referring to the influence of aerodynamics on the silhouette.Initially only available as a four-door, a two-door hardtop variant was added in 1970, offering the unique stylistic feature of being the first Japanese production passenger car with full side windows and no side pillars. It became Mitsubishi's first car to be sold in the United States in 1971 when the Chrysler Corporation, the company's new partner and stakeholder, began importing the car as the Dodge Colt.
From 1970, a fastback coupé model was developed, the Galant GTO. Fashioned after contemporary American muscle cars, the hardtop GTO was available with a choice of three 4G32 'Saturn' engines, and was available until 1975. The nameplate was sufficiently highly regarded in Japan for it to be resurrected for the 1990 Mitsubishi GTO coupé.
A second coupé was introduced in 1971, the Galant FTO. Powered by the 4G41 1.4 L engine, it too would leave a legacy for the company to return to in the 1990s with the Mitsubishi FTO.

VolkWagen Golf

The Volkswagen Golf Plus now also runs on LPG. Thanks to the use of this alternative fuel, a reduction of more than 10% in CO2 emissions and fuel savings of ?6.10 per 100 kilometres* in LPG mode could also be achieved, due in part to the reduced German fuel tax in place until 2018. All in all, a solid argument.

With its bi-fuel drive system – which can run on petrol at the flick of a switch – the new Golf Plus lowers consumption and emissions: the 1.6-litre, four-cylinder engine with 72 kW / 98 PS needs an average of 9.8 litres of LPG per 100 kilometres (159 g/km CO2). When burning petrol, the Golf Plus BiFuel is even more economical (7.5 litres of Super, 179 g/km CO2) over the same distance.

This gives the LPG-powered Golf Plus an environmental edge, namely CO2 emissions more than 10% lower than those of comparable petrol-engined vehicles. The 55-litre petrol tank and the LPG tank, which has a usable volume of 43 litres and is built into the spare wheel well to save space, provide an extended range of more than 1,100 kilometres. The LPG tank alone has a range of about 440 kilometres. LPG filling station coverage is comprehensive in Europe – in Germany alone there are more than 4,700 stations.

The factory-installed solution for the new Golf Plus BiFuel is considerably more advantageous than an LPG conversion: to name just a couple of benefits, the vehicle has been subjected to extensive endurance testing and undergone crash testing with the LPG tank, making it extremely safe. Customers receive a full warranty for the entire vehicle, LPG components included. The new Golf Plus BiFuel is now available for order in the Trendline and Comfortline versions at an entry-level price of EUR 22,460.

SPY SHOOT VolkWagen Scirocco R

The Scirocco Studie R is very cool when it launched for the first time at the Bologna Motor Show earlier this year. And now the production version of the white-hot Scirocco, likely to be badged the Scirocco R, has been spied at the infamous Nurburgring circuit in Germany alongside a current 2.0 TFSI car.

Pictured on the right, the Scirocco R is clearly wearing a more aggressive body kit with lower front and rear bumpers and more sculpted side skirts, as well as larger 19-inch wheels. But there’s no sign of the wild rear wing attached to the Bologna show car.

When it goes on sale to the public, the Golf-based coupe will feature a storming 262bhp version of the 2.0 TFSI engine already available in 197bhp form. That means a 0-60mph sprint in around six seconds and a 155mph top speed.

Appropriately, both the Scirocco R and Golf R20 will make their public debuts at the Nurburgring 24-hour race in May. Prices should start from around £25,000 when it goes on sale later this year.

This is the fastest, most hardcore Scirocco R ever. Put it this way, a Scirocco is a hot wind, so this bad boy is pretty much what you get after a night on the beer and a Chicken Vindaloo.

Scirocco tradition, the R is front-wheel-drive only, but at least the power will be tempered by the addition of the new XDS electronic diff as fitted to the new Golf GTI. You can have a six-speed manual or a DSG, depending on how involved you want to be with the driving experience. It’s a bit lower and has beefed-up brakes too.

Complimenting the under-hood fireworks are plenty of scoops and vents in the new body kit, some nice wheels and a little wing too. Sports seats, nice dials and lots of R badges are fitted to the insides.VW unleashes

AUDI Car

Audi A1 audi review:
The restricted club of the small compact premium cars has a new pretty boy. Called Audi A1 and is the latest proposal from Audi for a type of customer that defines the brand as "trendy, young and stylish." The question of style is indeed crucial in this kind of car or not we were talking about a category where scores the Mini (reborn and thriving at the hands of BMW) and also recent Citroën DS3.
Although Audi has not overlooked some rational values in the A1 - the presence of the Start & Stop system in the diesel version is one of them - the truth is that there is a strong emotional appeal on the basis of the birth of this car. We speak of a three-door car with four seats (the rear are small) and whose luggage compartment (270 liters) is not exactly reference.
How to explain the choice of a car that can be more expensive than a family? Well, that's where the excitement comes the style.
The A1 has appealing aesthetics, benefits from Audi's build quality and allows (as rivals) a multitude of customizable details, especially overseas.
In theory, it can almost say that each A1 is unique.

Dynamic
Available in three different powertrains, the new model Audi seduces by the interiors too. Materials pleasant to the touch, simple and modern design and the driving position oriented for sporting sensations.
The version that we were able to drive (diesel engine 1.6 TDI with 105 hp) has good direction. Whether the intake either in the way city dwellers react to challenges and roads. It is not a pure sport car, but has unique personality and character.
