Nothing Is Compromised With The Volvo

This has been made available as a product of the collaboration of Volvo Cars and of the Ford Motor Company. This vehicle took the place that used to belong to the Volvo 780. The vehicle has been designed so much so that it would be marketed and sold as a convertible and as a coupe and the Volvo C70 is also an entrant to the cabriolet and the luxury coupe segment.There also are the rear headrests that would give you the right kind of protection during collisions or crashes and even rollovers. Sure enough, Volvo did not forget that whatever kind of vehicle it produces, safety would not be compromised as well as all other things essential in a vehicle.
there have only been some 2,545 units of the vehicle sold.And imagine, you would be able to enjoy driving through various weather with the top up or even down. Experts in the field also do say that this special vehicle would surely be able to transform those who do not like convertibles into convertible lovers and owners. That is the kind of power that Volvo has bestowed on the Volvo C70. But this has not been a matter of concern for Volvo. You see, there are only quite a small number of Volvo vehicles that are sold in the United States per year. In fact, according to Volvo, they are only projecting to sell only 8000 units of the Volvo C70 per year.

Lincoln Retaliates With New Vehicle Launches

Lincoln aspires to become America's luxury vehicle. This goal is bolstered by launching the largest launch of redesigned and brand new cars in the history of Lincoln. "We've got four major launches within four months," says Thomas Grill, Lincoln brand manager. "The MKZ and Navigator are already at dealers,Research and segmentation analysis shows that the Lincoln customer as being a person who has worked hard and earned a reward in the form of a luxury vehicle," Grill adds. "In a sense, it's kind of a cycle. The person takes advantage of opportunities in life, earns a reward which in turn makes them seek out further opportunities." followed by the MKX crossover and the all-new Navigator L extended length model. What's just as important is that our consumers will be very aware of thes.used to be the luxury cars of choice in North America. In fact the former was once the best-selling luxury brand in America.

Fusion Brings Good News to Ford

Ford officials expressed their undeniable euphoria because 21 different Ford vehicles made it to the Consumer Reports' list of recommended buys. Among the vehicles are Ford Fusion, Ford Five Hundred, and Mercury Milan. In addition, Fusion was made Consumer Reports cover.Unfortunately, said redesign ranked as one of the worst redesigns in the auto history. According to enthusiasts, the makeover was goofy, flaccid and ovoid while the original Taurus was sober, taut and straightforward. Eventually, Ford decided to end the production of Taurus in October this year.

Finally, Ford has come up with a vehicle that has potentials to be the next big thing in the industry. Fusion is the vehicle that can serve as a mighty rival for Camry, Altima, Accord, and other state-of-the-art vehicles in similar segment. base four and the V-6. the former is an all-aluminum 2.3-liter, DOHC four that produces 160 horsepower at 6500 rpm and 150 pound-feet of peak torque at 4000 rpm. The latter has DOHC heads, 24-valves, and generates 221 horsepower at 6250 rpm and 205 lb-ft of peak torque at 4800 rpm.

Analysts in the auto industry expect that Fusion will follow the footsteps of Taurus without becoming what it eventually became. It can be recalled that Taurus was considered one of the bread and butter vehicles of Ford. In between 1986 and 1995, you cannot imagine the automaker will hit the market without the presence of Taurus. From 1992 to 1996, the vehicle was the best selling car in the United States.

Toyota Camry

This time, the recognition comes from the Motor Trend magazine and it gave the Toyota Camry the Car of the Year award for 2007.So what was the Toyota Camry up against?

Auto Industry In China To Slow Down

However, it looks like the present state of the country is actually showing the world signs that the sleeping giant is already starting to stir and wake up. In the process, it would soon be considered as one of the largest manufacturers and powers in the entire world.If this does continue to happen, the mentioned industry could have overproduction problems in the near future. Even the country's National Development and Reform Commission was reported to have said, "Signs of overcapacity have already appeared, and could worsen." The NDRC is China's top economic planner.The entire automotive industry has been on the lookout for the Chinese entrants for they actually do know what kind of products the country could bring. However, it does seem like the country itself has already started to put a damper on things and would be putting a slow down sign for the Chinese auto makers.
A statement given out by the NDRC said that they would be asking auto companies in China to actually hit a given target when it comes to sales. The downside would be that if these companies do not hit the target. The commission could actually close the businesses down.

Brace Yourself For A Bluetooth Road Invasion

Consumers are getting more and more technologically advanced each day. Today, there is an estimated 1,000 Bluetooth enabled products being sold at a rate of 1 million per week. These products are not only limited to phones and computers but also include cars.The technology is aimed at replacing cables connecting portable or stationary devices without compromising security.

Saturn Still Soars

There's no doubt that today's automotive industry is flourishing, what with the ever-growing competition between auto manufacturers, especially among those at the top of the heap. More than the continuous innovations to their products,It is a compact sedan that features a body and engine entirely different from other cars. Due to the car's use of dent-resistant plastic materials for its' body materials and the use of the 1.9 L Saturn I4 engine, the Saturn S-Series has gained much recognition. Just a few years after its' launch, Saturn has flourished into a successful creator of small-size vehicles. What made their cars stand out from the rest is their use of the polymer vertical body panels attached to a steel-space frame. I much marketing has been done by these auto giants to make sure their products' target image are firmly planted on the minds of consumers to gain high product recognition and consequently, high sales.
The company itself has also been well praised for its' manufacturing processes that do not harm the environment. However, the popularity the Saturn brand initially enjoyed is starting to decline. Sales have been declining and the car model line-up has been trimmed. Critics say this is due to Saturn's inability to keep pace with the other auto manufacturers. Nevertheless, several Saturn models are still being produced, which include the VUE, Relay, and ION. In particular,

VW Parts for the "People Car"

True to its name, Volkswagen produced the best-selling car of all time, the Beetle. Volkswagen's history goes back to Ferdinand Porsche's vision of producing a vehicle that every working man can afford. This idea was not a new one but previous attempts to realize it had failed. The VW Schwimmwagen was an amphibious vehicle used extensively by the German army. After the war, Volkswagen's first customer would ironically be the British who needed light transport and ordered 20,000 units. Volkswagen sold only 2 cars when it started exporting to America but clever advertising campaigns popularized the brand immensely. In 1973, sale of the Volkswagen Beetle exceeded the 16 millionth marks replacing the Model T as the best-selling car in the world. It was also named fourth most influential car of the 20th century by the Global Automotive Elections Foundation. Later versions of the Type 1 sold poorly and Volkswagen purchased Audi/Auto Union to help the company create a new breed of VW vehicles. Ferdinand Porsche had an impeccable reputation as an automobile engineer, heading his own consultation firm and previously serving as chief designer of Lohner, Austro-Daimler, Mercedes, Daimler-Benz and Steyr. When Hitler expressed his desire to produce a car that would serve the needs of the average German.
the car should be a five-seater, have a cruising speed of 100 kmh, get 40 miles to the gallon, be air-cooled, and be priced below 1000 Marks. Ferdinand Porsche accepted the challenge even though he was sure that a car could not be made that cheaply: the cost of Ford's mass produced models at the time was roughly the equivalent of 2,600 Marks.

Skoda's Fabia Offered at a Bargain Price

Compared to the Super MINI segment, the Skoda Fabia by far offers more cars with fresh and timeless designs. The Skoda's key strategy is to offer an "extra bit of car" at prices similar to those offered by its competitors. Customers who are to order a 07 plate in March will receive a discount of £880 and will be paying just £11,495 instead of the regular price.Normally the vRS - a high performing five-door hatchback with sporting lines and a 130hp lag-free turbo diesel engine - would cost £12,375. The thing that buyers like about the vRS is its smooth engine you wouldn't know it's not petrol-fuelled until it came to topping up the tank.
The Fabia is one of the largest cars in its class and offers an extensive head and legroom without sacrificing the boot space. The Fabia is a great vehicle whether it's in the form of a hatchback, estate or saloon it is the ultimate travel companion.
The cabin exudes eloquent design with its soft materials and spacious room. Its split rear folding seat provides plenty of room as a fact even a Fabia hatchback is capable of holding asset of skis. The hatchback has 1,016 liters of storage and with the seats upright still provides 260 liters of storage capacity.
The clever yet simple features of the Fabia such as a folding hook to hang shopping bags in the luggage compartment prevent purchases from falling out or spilling. Such a simple concept if you are to think about it but no other retailers was able to provide it except Skoda.

Coolest Eccentric Cars On Earth

Nonetheless, those attributes do not keep your fantasies from drifting - the cravings keep you company. They are cool and amazing. These are the reasons that made the cars etched in the mind of aficionados.Countach was a supercar produced in 1973 and lasted until its production was halted in 1990. It popularized the wedge-shaped, sharp angled style that some high performance cars currently still use these days. In Countach's time, kids and adults alike are swept by this Italian supercar. But the car hexed oddness that attracted only a significant few. It was bordering on tasteless. In fact, the automaker itself disclosed that Ferrari owners think Lambos are props for the nouveau riche attention hounds. They are not on the mainstream then but they steadfastly wowing enthusiasts from the past up until the present.Other eccentric stunners on the roads include the Porsche 911, Jeep Wrangler, Mini Cooper, Dodge Challenger and the Volkswagen Beetle. The coolest eccentric cars include new race cars, supercars, and other exotic vehicles. Luxury cars like the Lincoln Continental and the Cadillac Eldorado are also deemed members of the "cult."
On the roads, one eccentric car that could catch everyone's interest is Ford Motor Corporation's Mustang. The prototype styling of the car is designed by Donald N. Frey but the remodeled four-seat car version was created by David Ash and Joseph Oros in Ford's Lincoln-Mercury Division design studios. Most of Mustang's mechanical parts were taken from its sibling Falcon however; its body shell was entirely different from the latter. Mustang boasts of its "torque box, Jaguar, a Scandinavian luxury brand, flaunts the E-Type. The latter emerges on almost all lists of the domineering sports cars.

Beware 9 Lies Auto Insurance Adjusters Might Tell You

I know that was a corny joke that may overstate the frequency of the problem to some degree. But, this fact can't be disputed or denied: Insurance adjusters often lie to consumers, hoping their antics will cause them to become discouraged and accept a smaller settlement than they are rightfully owed.If you choose not to repair damage that is covered by insurance, as a general rule, the insurer still owes you for the full value of necessary repairs that would be required to put your vehicle into its preloss condition. But, be forewarned. If you choose not to repair accident damage on your car, your insurance company would not be required to continue insuring the car for its full retail value.While it is true, mistakes occasionally happen and some adjusters pass untruths out of ignorance, many others are handsomely rewarded for routinely telling blatant and deliberate lies to claimants.
if you encounter problems with a shop you selected, the insurance company will be quoting the old lyric, "I told you so," and will be little help in procuring your satisfaction.The fact that the negligent party bought lousy insurance coverage does not relieve them of the responsibility and obligation they have to indemnify you of damage they caused. Therefore, if the third-party insurance company doesn't want to make full restitution to you on their policyholders' behalf, you are under no obligation to deal with them. The same would be true for anything that is damaged and reconstructed. Think for a moment about a valuable vase that gets broken. Although the vase could be glued back together, even to the point that the damage is unrecognizable, it could never be as sound or as valuable as it previously was because there is a potential for failure after the accident and repair that didn't previously exist. Likewise, during auto repairs it is economically impractical to test every component and part on a car to guarantee that it's performance and durability are unaltered. In addition, many of the tests that would be required in making this determination are destructive by nature making them unfeasible to perform.If, on the other hand, you go to a shop selected by an insurer and get deceived, or don't receive the level of repair you are entitled to, you will be in a much better position to negotiate with the insurer, especially if there is threat of a bad faith lawsuit against them.
I might not run even then if you have a terrier or a poodle. If however, you are saying "sic-um" to a ferocious pit bull, I'll have a much different attitude. Insurers are no different. They pick and choose their fights. If they think you can mount a good defense against them, they will usually pay you everything you are owed. If they think you can't afford a lawyer or a proper defense, they will most often bully you and stall your claim, sometimes forever. As in the analogy of the dog, when you unleash a lawyer that commands insurer's respect, you will get action. But even then, don't expect results quickly.In effect, DRP shops see insurers as their customers instead of vehicle owners. Given the choice, most will favor an insurer to keep work coming in the door, even if it means lying and cheating long-time customers. There are many ways DRP shops favor insurers. As an example, many DRP agreements and contacts mandate that repair shop estimators overlook certain damages that would not be blatantly obvious to a consumer's untrained eye. In addition, it would not be uncommon for them to try to talk you into accepting an appearance allowance that represents an amount less than the actual cost of repairs to forgo repair of some damaged panels or parts. This would often be presented to you in such a way as to convince you they are doing you a favor.

Investing in the Best Auto Body Kits and Aftermarket Parts

We love to travel in really great looking cars. While the vast majority of cars that are available on the market look great they are similar. In fact if you see one Porsche you have seen them all. While this is just a generalization it serves the purpose of showing you that there is no external differences to make your car unique from all of the rest. Auto body kits however can change all of this.With these changes you should also be prepared to pay the price tag that accompanies these body kits. When you are first hunting around for dealers who can sell these body kits to you, there are various questions you should ask about. The first question is of course the quality of the car parts you are investing in. The next question is what the final price is going to cost you.
The first item you should look at of course is the various parts that can be used for auto body kits. These parts can be side skirts, cowl spoilers, door caps, rear wings, eye brows and many others.
These parts can be air ducts, engine grills for cars where the engine sits in the rear of the car, exhaust tips and engine vents. With all of these various items you will be able to change the way your car looks and performs.

Extending the Life of the Struts with Toyota Strut Bellows

There are a lot of parts in every Toyota automobile, and they are found in the different portions of the vehicle's body. These components are parts of the different systems of the vehicle, working together to make the auto fully operational and functional. The different systems in the Toyota auto perform specific tasks which do not overlap with each other but rather compliment each other.To avoid feeling bouncy and sick while in the automobile, the suspension system absorbs unnecessary movements. It is deployed in the front and rear wheels of the vehicle and is primarily composed of a coil or leaf spring and a shock.To protect the Toyota struts and enable them to perform better, they must be covered with the Toyota Strut Bellows in their end so that dirt will not enter the delicate part of the struts. Since grease is laced on the edge of the struts to prevent corrosion, dirt would most likely concentrate on the greased part. This is prevented by covering them with the Toyota Strut Bellows which are pliant and will not affect the performance of the struts. For ease of installation, the strut bellows are made of rubberized material and have holes on both ends so that insertion can be easily performed. The energy released by the coil or leaf spring is absorbed by the shock. The other parts of the suspension are the bushing, gasket and washers, and others which come in the form of a kit. Due to technological advancements, a new type of suspension was developed.
. The bellow is also made of toughened rubberized material in order for it to withstand the punishment of any road condition. Located under the inner fender which is usually the area hit by pebbles, stones, and other debris, it is always exposed to damaging elements and should therefore be fully protected. When the tires of the wheels start to roll over, their tendency is to scour the road, sending hard objects flying. It is always important and advised to replace worn-out Toyota Strut Bellows as soon as they are discovered.

Right Collision Repairs Severely Needed

With over 35,000 auto body repair shops all over the United States, choosing the repair shop can make a car owner dizzy.

The Vice President of the Council of Better Business Bureaus (CBBB), Steve Cox, agreed that an insurance company may make some recommendations on the right repair shop but he asserted that the ultimate responsibility in selecting a trustworthy and quality-oriented repair shop is in the hands of the drivers themselves.Together, they give tips on how to save money on a replacement rental car and on how to arrange any arguments between the shop and the car owner. This means the transaction must be in written form. The car owner must get a written repair and price estimate of the work to be performed. Before the job begins, explanation of why specific recommendations are necessary to fix the collision damage is also important. They further said warranty is another must.The CBBB and the NABC recommend opting for a trustworthy collision repair shop. According to them, a car owner must check out the shop's qualifications.
Those small prints in that written policy can make a big difference if you need to have collision repairs made to your car. This is especially important if parts need to be substituted. Most written insurance policies use very specific words as to the replacement parts.

The first one is that before selecting an insurance company or when renewing your car's insurance policy; know first the limitations of the policy as to the replacement parts. An insurance representative can help in discussing these limitations.The second tip is that if the company's replacement part policy limitations are issues to you, try other insurers. Because consumers nowadays are very meticulous on replacement part restrictions, there are some insurance companies which offer more choices to policyholders.

Video Surveillance Cameras Make Your Car Road-worthy

You press on the brakes, and discover you've lost control over the vehicle's breaking system! Seconds later, you hit a wall. Proving Newton's law that "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction," your head whips back against the headrest. The airbag, which ballooned on impact, cushions your head.and that is precisely what you are - a crash test dummy. To optimize what they could learn from you, researchers had placed a video surveillance camera on the wall. Such cameras remain useful throughout the life of an automobile.They are mainly used for inspecting many parts, verifying that parts have been positioned properly and in 3D guidance of robots. For instance "smart" cameras are frequently used in various stages of automobile production. The camera helps robots "learn" certain parts. The robots, in turn, use a "vision processor" to verify that a correct product has been installed.
These are carried out to improve their quality and safety. One example is the crash test. High speed cameras, which can capture more frames per second than other cameras, are used. The camera helps to detail what happens to the passenger and automobile during the crash. Due to the high cost of crash tests, these cameras are invaluable in helping researchers obtain as much data as possible from the test. A video surveillance camera can be used for other types of tests on cars.video surveillance cameras can also be used to safeguard automobiles from auto theft, a grave problem in America. Consider the following statistics.

* Every year, over one million vehicles are stolen in the United States. * In 2005, the 2001 BMW M Roadster was the most frequently stolen passenger vehicle in the United States. * In 2006, more vehicles were stolen in Las Vegas than in any other metropolitan area in the United States. In addition to capturing visual evidence against car thieves, they also serve as a deterrent for those who are thinking about taking someone else's Jaguar, Road Runner, or Bug.There is no doubt that from the assembly line to the junkyard, video surveillance cameras shift gears to play vital roles in the lives of automobiles.

The moniker of the Wrangler just came about in the 80's in replacement of the CJ's.when tackling about an off-road vehicle, the first thing that comes first in the list would be the Jeep Wrangler.

Volvo to Outsource Auto Components from India

Volvo is joining other international automakers such as General Motors Corporation and Daimler Chrysler AG which both have employed the same outsourcing program mes for components that they used in manufacturing their vehicles.Managing Director, Volvo Cars India, the US head office of Volvo has been outsourcing components from major Tier 1 and Tier 2 companies like Minda HUF, Visteon, Arvin Meritor, Sundaram Clayton,Meanwhile other parts such as steering parts, body chassis, suspension and braking parts,And according to the Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India more than a third or 36 percent of Indian auto component exports are heading for Europe with North America closing in at second place with 26 percent. equipment, electric parts, and other components make up for the remaining percentage of the automotive exports. and Rico Auto.

Should Congress Bail Out the Big Three?

Corp. Each CEO flew in style in one of their company's luxurious jets hoping to make their case to Washington that the auto industry is running out of cash and needs $25 billion in taxpayer money to avoid bankruptcy. GM and Ford say that it is a corporate decision to have their CEOs fly on private jets and that is non-negotiable. This is a slap in the face of taxpayers" said Tom Schatz, President of Citizens Against Government Waste. If the Union of Automobile Workers (UAW) is blamed for costs that add about $2,000 to the cost of a car, one wonders how much the executive multimillion legacies add to the cost! GM said it may run short of funds before the end of 2008, and Chrysler said that survival would be difficult without aid.
They claimed their problem is neither their business plan nor their long term strategies but the financial situation we are in now. However, for years the Big Three kept building what they wanted without paying attention to the economics of the world around them and the needs of consumers who started to prefer cheaper and safer cars with better millage. At the same time foreign car companies were building better performing, more reliable and fuel efficient cars. The truth is that the American car industry for the most part had snoozed.
Money to bail out GM will go to build a $300 billion factory outside St. Petersburg in Russia to continue making SUVs! Redesign and retooling will end up with jobs shipped overseas! Companies fail every day and others take their place. We will still get automobiles, but they won't be made by American companies!
Other statistics suggest that a 50% reduction in U.S. automaker operations will cause over $108 billion losses in Federal, state and local governments in tax revenue over three years. Therefore, some argue, it is a choice between $25 billion in loans now or several times more billions in lost taxes in the future. It is estimated 850,000 retirees and their families depend for pensions and health care on the Big Three. The Big Three contribute $21 billion a year to Social Security and Medicare. If we add in all the businesses that depend on the auto industry, and we are talking about one-tenth of the U.S. labor force.

How Does an Auto Salvage Yard Work?

The auto salvage yard is a very interesting place. It sort of resembles a graveyard for automobiles because they are in pieces and don't look too good. However, there are some viable parts on these old broken down vehicles that can work perfectly on a functional vehicle. The salvage yard is literally the "gold mine of auto parts."
This is because there are certain vehicles that are made in other countries that require their parts to be ordered. There are also some cars that are so old the parts cannot be found just anywhere. That is another instance in which the part may need to be ordered from the manufacturer. Unfortunately, that can be extremely expensive.

Their availability

Every town has at least one junk yard, which it is commonly called an auto salvage yard because they salvage the parts. Some parts on these vehicles are not functional, but even the most dilapidated vehicles have something that is useful on the inside or outside.
The best way to find the part you need is to call the junk yard first. Ask them if they have the part and give them an opportunity to look. If they do have it, they will tell you. They assess vehicles when they receive them to see what parts are in good shape and which ones are not. They will collect both the internal and external parts that are in great shape. They will even collect tires that can go a while longer. Whatever it is you need, just ask.

Other services

For parts that are large, some auto salvage yards will haul them for you. This is something to ask when you make the phone call. Some people will buy the entire vehicle in order to scrap it themselves. Other parts such as trunk lids, hoods, door panels, and roofs can be too large for some to haul as well. If you need them to haul it for you, ask them how much they will do it for.As you can see, the junk yard is a great place to find those hard to get auto parts. They might be used, but many parts will still last the life of the vehicle. Even if it needs replacing in the future, the cost of replacing it again still won't exceed the cost of having to order parts. Even if you don't have to order parts, you will still find them cheaper at the auto salvage yard.
