			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://car-blog.info/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/range-rover-evoque-posh.jpg"><img src="http://car-blog.info/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/range-rover-evoque-posh-285x184.jpg" alt="range-rover-evoque-posh" title="range-rover-evoque-posh" width="285" height="184" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-140" /></a>Like what the reports said before, Victoria Beckham signed as a celebrity creative designer for Range Rover and was also set to get her special edition Evoque. A few days back, Range Rover, issued a press release about the luxury SUV and then unwrapped the vehicle for the world to see.  And it is not bad at all.</p>

<p>he switch gear has a soft-feel black treatment while the center console, door handles, air vents, and bezels get piano black finish to reflect the exterior of the vehicle.  The bezels on the center console which has the ventilation and heating controls get rose gold accents. </p>
<p>The Evoque package also comes with luxury luggage. It is a 4-piece set adopted from the luxury luggage range of Victoria Beckham using the same color theme and hand stitching. </p>
<p>The Special Edition Victoria Beckham Evoque makes use of the all aluminum 240 horsepower 2.0L gasoline powerplant. The engine is coupled with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://car-blog.info/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2012-chevrolet-camaro_100364686_l.jpg"><img src="http://car-blog.info/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2012-chevrolet-camaro_100364686_l-285x190.jpg" alt="" title="2012-chevrolet-camaro_100364686_l" width="285" height="190" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-136" /></a>The Chevrolet Camaro has only been selling for a short time, but with the roll out of its 2 model years, the car was able to battle it out for the top sellers of the muscle car segment, star in blockbuster films in Hollywood, and got some upgrades along the way to improve its performance.</p>
<p>The 2012 Camaro has a new V6 3.6L powerplant that can produce 323 horsepower. This engine replaced the 2011 setup that made use of a 312 hp engine. </p>
<p>The Camaro SS still gives out 426 horsepower. Fans of V-8 engines will also be all smiles with the addition of the ZL1 to the lineup of the 2012 Camaro.</p>
<p>The ZL1 will be the top of the line offering of the Camaro which will have a 6.2L V8 LSA engine, the same powerhouse used for the CTS-V line of the Cadillac, which can output 580 horsepower and a torque of 556 pound feet. These figures might make other supercars put their tails in between their legs but this Chevrolet comes for a reasonable price at $54,995.</p>
<p>The range of Camaro is being offered with two choices of body styles. You can get it as a coupe or as a convertible. The ZL1 can also be ordered as a convertible.</p>
<p>The base model gives you great value for your money with its V8 paired with the 6-speed manual transmission. Getting it with the automatic transmission is also worth it as it proves to have a very smooth shifting and fast acceleration. Going from 0 to 60 miles per hour is achieved in just 4.5 seconds or even less.</p>
<p>One downside of the 2012 Camaro is its low roof line which makes it a bit difficult for taller drivers. The beltline is a bit high and might pose some problems for shorter drivers. The rearward visibility is also quite a challenge. The back seat of the Camaro only offers enough space for kids while the trunk is also very small.</p>
<p>The cabin though offers several features to keep you entertained like iPod connectivity, a head up display, USB, Bluetooth, and a navigation system.</p>

The net income of Hyundai is pegged at 1.92 trillion won or US$1.7 billion for the three months ending September 30 compared to last year&#8217;s 1.59 trillion.</p>
<p>The Seoul-based carmaker is considered as the biggest manufacturer of vehicles in South Korea and has a projected profit of 1.89 trillion won according estimates by analysts. Hyundai will most likely sell around four million units this year as they increase production in plants located in their bigger markets like China. The carmaker might achieve record earnings for 2011 and might surpass profits made by Toyota Motor of Japan.</p>
<p>The earnings of Hyundai affirms the competitiveness of the brand in markets overseas. Forecasts say that Hyundai might fare better than other car manufacturers as the demand lowers next year.</p>
<p>From January of 2011, Hyundai has delivered about 3 million units and they are most likely to hit more than four millions sold units this year. The initial goal of the company was pegged at 3.9 million vehicles. </p>
<p>The demand in China is huge as the monthly sales of the Hyundai Sonata hit 10,000 units every month starting last September. The company also beefed up their operations in Russia after it started the production of the refreshed Rio of Korean affiliate Kia Motors.</p>
<p>The sales of Hyundai in China jumped by 12% which translates to 553,000 units for the first three quarters of the year. Sales in Korea rose by 7.3% or about 510,000 vehicles. Sales in the United States increased by 20% for the first three quarters while Europe sales also improved by 9.4%.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Complaints about the 2010 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models have taken a serious turn as U.S. Safety Regulators upgraded its preliminary investigation.  The initial issue about the models revolved around the models’ wheel stud fractures that might cause the tires to pop out.</p>
<p>The issue involves around 317,315 medium-sized sedans from Ford Motor Co.   According to the reports from the website of the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the investigation will not involve an engineering analysis.</p>
<p><a href="http://car-blog.info/2011/08/engineering-analysis-of-2010-ford-fusion-and-mercury-milan-models-needed/p8-2010-ford-fusion/" rel="attachment wp-att-122"><img src="http://car-blog.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/p8-2010-Ford-Fusion.jpg" alt="" title="p8 2010 Ford Fusion" width="440" height="330" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-122" /></a></p>
<p>According to the statement made by the U.S. Safety Regulators, the car company’s own investigation of the defect is still in process and therefore, the former widened its own probe to access the root of the problem and complaints.</p>
<p>Ford Motor Co.’s spokesman, Wes Sherwood, has said in a statement that the company gives it full cooperation to review the matter at hand.  Moreover, he stressed that the company is not aware of any injury reports that might be related to the alleged wheel stud fractures.</p>
<p>According to the reports from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), a total of 128 warranty claims and 29 wheel fracture-related complaints have been tallied.   However, the NHTSA said that they know of about four incidents that involved separated wheels due to the said defect.</p>
<p>An engineering analysis is done to further study the cause of the problem.  Should the NHTSA rule that the defects should be handled by the auto manufacturer; a recall might be in order.  However, this is not always the case.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Speed lovers has another reason to smile as Shelby American might just give you a chance to drive the beefed up Mustang GT as they plan to bring back their rent-a-racer program.</p>
<p>Reports say that the rental  program might be revived as early as next spring just in time for their 50th year anniversary. The Mustang Gts will come in their traditional black and gold configuration and white and gold finish.</p>
<p><a href="http://car-blog.info/2011/07/shelby-american-to-revive-rent-a-mustang-gt-program/p8-shelby-american/" rel="attachment wp-att-114"><img src="http://car-blog.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/p8-Shelby-American.jpg" alt="" title="p8 Shelby American" width="415" height="250" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-114" /></a></p>
<p>Under the hood of the 2012 Mustang GT is a 4.0L naturally aspirated V8 engine that gives out 412 horsepower paired with an automatic  gear box. The car manufacturer collaborated with Hertz back in the 190s to build 1,000 units of the high performance Mustang.</p>
<p>After forty years the program returns, although there is limited availability, the GT-H remains to be very popular. The cars have actually been put to sale. Right now, what Shelby wants to find out is if there will be a good number of interested race fans for the 2012 program before they give it a go signal. </p>
<p>Hertz has always been collaborating with Shelby. If the rental pushes thru, Hertz will be offering the Mustang under their Adrenaline collection. Aside from the exciting body finish, Shelby will also boost the car&#8217;s power. Most likely we can hear about the details with regard to the car and program once Shelby American takes the next step closer to the implementation of the program.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Gallardo is the best selling version of the Lamborghini, mainly because it is the cheapest. There are lots of people who would love to own one. The problem is that they can’t really afford to have both a Gallardo and another car for everyday driving. That raises the question of whether or not you can use your Lamborghini Gallardo as a day to day car.</p>
<p>As to whether or not you can use the Lamborghini Gallardo as a day to day car is going to be up to you. In reality you can use any car as your day to day care if you really want to. The question is just how practical is it. For the Lamborghini Gallardo the answer is not particularly practical. The biggest problem that you are going to face is the lack of space in your car. There is virtually no trunk space and there in only one extra seat. If you always drive alone and don’t mind leaving your groceries in the passenger seat it might be an option.</p>
<p>The other big issue that you are going to face with using a Gallardo as your everyday car is that you will be limited in where you can drive it. Speed bumps are always going to be a problem in a car that is that low to the ground. It is also a fairly wide car so park<a href="http://car-blog.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Gallardo-Spyder-Lambo.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-107" title="Gallardo Spyder Lambo" src="http://car-blog.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Gallardo-Spyder-Lambo-285x190.jpg" alt="Gallardo Spyder Lambo" width="285" height="190" /></a>ing may be an issue. Actually parking will likely be a very big issue since most people are not going to want to leave their very expensive Lamborghini parked on the side of the street.</p>
<p>Comfort is going to another hindrance to using your Gallardo as a day to day car. Like all top end sports cars it has a very stiff suspension. This is great for getting around corners at very high rates of speed. It isn’t so good for driving around town. The bumpy city streets are going to make driving the Gallardo very unpleasant. You will really feel every bump, this is something that you may be willing to put up with for a short time but after a while it will really start to bother you.</p>
<p><span id="more-105"></span>There are a lot of hassles that you are going to have to put up with if you are going to use the Lamborghini Gallardo as your day to day car. That doesn’t mean you can’t do it just that there will be issues. The thing to keep in mind is that you don’t really buy a car in the price range of a Gallardo to put up with issues. All of those things that you think you are willing to put up with so that you can own <a href="http://www.festaitaliano.us/lamborghini" target="_blank">a Lamborghini</a> will sooner or later really start to bother you. Ultimately it is up to you to decide if it is worth it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-90" title="2011 BMW X3" src="http://car-blog.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/2011-BMW-X3-285x188.jpg" alt="2011 BMW X3" width="285" height="188" />BMW released some details about the 2011 X3 over the internet and also dropped some camouflaged photos. With the introduction of the X1 in Europe, the German carmaker is giving the X3 some additional cabin space so we can expect the 2011 X3 to be a bit longer and wider than its current version you see on the roads.</p>
<p>Although the new X3 is bigger, the vehicle slimmed down a bit by 55 pounds giving it some thumbs up to the fuel economy department. BMW also made the steering of the 2011 X3 electric instead of the pneumatic type to decease the drag on the powerplant.</p>
<p>Consumers can not expect surprises when they pop up the hood. Buyers in the UK will be able to select from 4 engine variants. The petrol engines will be marketed as a 3.0L naturally aspirated 6-cylinder with an ouput of 268 bhp and a twin turbocharged version that gives out 302 bhp. The bigger chunk of sales in the UK though will be on the diesel variants. One will have the 2.0L 4-cylinder diesel powerplant that gives out 181 bhp and the other will be the stronger 3.0L diesel engine that outputs 241 bhp.</p>
<p>BMW is also planning to add more engine options in the line up including an ActiveHybrid variant on the drawing board.</p>
<p>The entry level unit will have its engine paired with the 6-speed Getrag manual transmission while the rest gets the 8-speed automatic gearbox with a stop-start system.</p>
<p>BMW also equips the new X3 with a new steering system that uses mechanical-electric technology from Thryssen Krup replacing the ZF hyrdraulic system of its older sibling.</p>
<p>The 2011 X3 will also get VDC or variable damping controls to improve its ride.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-86" title="BARACK OBAMA" src="http://car-blog.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/BARACK-OBAMA-222x300.jpg" alt="BARACK OBAMA" width="222" height="300" />A year ago, the USA’s auto industry, along with the rest of the economy, was at its lowest point. To worsen the situation, Americans wanted to wash their hands off the bail out. They have reason to, having just gone through pricier loans mandated by the country’s leading lenders. Still, President Obama with the country’s Auto Task Force decided to tighten their belts and aid <a href="http://www.chryslercarblog.net/">Chrysler</a> and <a href="http://www.gmautoblog.com/">General Motors</a> through the bankruptcy (also thanks to <a href="http://cash-for-clunkers-info.net/">the Cash for Clunkers program</a>).</p>
<p>While this move provided the two manufacturers with $50 billion worth of loans, and kept a lot of employees off the streets, the fiscal and political costs were pretty high. Before this move, the Congressional Budget Office and the Treasury Department of the United States already estimated a total of $30 billion in losses.</p>
<p>According to Detroit News, the White House seems more optimistic about the money and the industry a year after that rough estimate. This is probably borne of the positive note in President Obama’s report regarding Chrysler’s operating profit and GM’s early pay off. The figures were friendly and the bail out was a success, White house reported. The latest projection by the Treasury Department and DOT decreased from $30 billion to $8 billion. While it’s significantly less than the predicted losses a year ago, America will still lose money.</p>
<p>The US government will now be focusing on getting that money back once GM releases its offering to the public. It is rumored that the company will be doing just that by June this year. The US Government currently owns 60.8% of General Motors.</p>
