| Nissan Australia wants "intelligence" on grey-imported GT-Rs |
| 2008-03-17 04:20:21 |
One of the few problems with being the purveyors of a highly desired
commodity is that people will do anything to get their hands on it,
sometimes before you're willing to give it to them. Such is the case
with Nissan and people importing GT-R's into Australia through the
"grey-market."
A supposedly leaked memo from Nissan Australia
to dealers Down Under requests that they keep an eye out for
grey-market GT-Rs and to send in a tip to Nissan HQ reporting the
"potential damage" and "stolen customers" that the vehicles are
apparently causing. While we understand that Nissan is trying to
protect sales, the fact remains that if the GT-R was obtained through
legal means, there's not much they can do about it. And we highly doubt
that many of Nissan's potential customers are going to go through the
hassle of importing a GT-R when sales are expected to being in the
early part of 2009.随机文章：2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe gets web-assisted early unveiling 2...

| 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe gets web-assisted early unveiling |
| 2008-03-17 03:59:12 |
As some of you might have already heard by now. The Hyundai Genesis Coupe has been unceremoniously de-cloaked courtesy of MyRide.com and the New Tiburon forums and is now making the rounds online. The consumer-grade version of the concept shown last year in Los Angeles simply looks fantastic, and with both turbo-four and V6 power
on tap, it's ready to make some noise. Unfortunately, we can't tell you
the specifics just yet (but rest assured, there's plenty to tell -- and
it is good).Barring any additional unforeseen surprises, we'll
have the complete story for you when the car makes its debut this week
in New York. But since the cat is out of the bag regarding this
particular sampling of fourteen official photos, here they are for your
enjoyment. Just hit up the high-res gallery below.9pics>Read more随机文章：Huh? Fewer 16-year olds are getting their licenses 2008-03-01Rumormill: Audi TTRS, RS5 on their way 2008-02-172009 Volkswagen Scirocco Gallery 2008-03-03Geneva '08 Previ...

| Geneva '08 Preview: Zagato-designed Bentley Continental GTZ |
| 2008-02-29 19:34:40 |
This may come as a bit of a surprise to anyone who's been following the agonizing bit-by-bit release of a number of concept cars in advance of the Geneva Motor Show,
but one Italian design studio has chosen to forgo the teasing and
release all the details of its show car all at once. In fact, we hadn't
heard anything about Zagato's coachbuilt Bentley since the initial report from last December, but the famed Milanese carrozzeria
has revealed that it will be unveiling the car at the show now only days away.
Called the Bentley Continental GTZ, following the familiar nomenclature last seen on the 2006 Ferrari 575 GTZ, Zagato's interpretation on the stately grand tourer manages to be instantly recognizable as both a Bentley and a Zagato design. Based on the effortlessly fast Continental GT Speed,
the latest Zagato retains, to the best of our knowledge at this point,
the donor car's considerable mechanics, over which the Zagato Atelier
has fitted unique two-tone coachwork in classic Br...

| Huh? Fewer 16-year olds are getting their licenses |
| 2008-02-29 19:26:01 |
Have
teenagers gone nuts? The Federal Highway Administration is reporting
that the percentage of teenagers with driver's licenses is going down.
Yeah, decreasing! What is up with that?
When I was growing up, my teenage years focused on just one
objective... driving. All I wanted was to get my driver's license. That
little card with your picture on it was the golden ticket. You could
borrow your parent's car, fill the tank (and grab a candy bar) for $20,
and nobody could reach you until you returned. We didn't have cell
phones, text messaging or GPS tracking. A driver's license represented
freedom.
So, what happened? Experts aren't blaming unmotivated teenagers.
Instead, they point the finger at the environment in which we are
raising our kids. In today's world, parents are much more likely to
chauffeur their teenagers from place to place. Tighter state laws
govern when kids can drive, and in many cases legislation has pushed
the driving age limit higher. Fewer high schools are offeri...

| Rumormill: Audi TTRS, RS5 on their way |
| 2008-02-16 12:12:41 |
We usually trust the guys at Fourtitude.com when talking about Audi because, well, that's their thing. So when they say that an upcoming über TTRS is in the product plans for Audi's U.S. lineup, we're inclined to believe. The all-Audi website is betting that the super coupe will be powered by a beefed-up, turbocharged five-cylinder engine, which is not surprising considering that sister brand Volkswagen makes great use of a 2.5L five-cylinder in its lineup. For Audi, however, this engine would be producing upwards of 350 horsepower despite a rumor that it is even smaller in displacement at 2.3 liters. Of course, it will feature Audi's FSI direct injection system and Valvelift variable valve timing systems, which will improve both economy and power. Expe...

| Geneva '08 Preview: Saab releases 9-1X teaser shot |
| 2008-02-16 11:55:41 |
We've got to give GM props on this one, since, unlike other automakers, it's blacked-out teaser isn't nearly as susceptible to Photoshop trickery. Regardless, Saab put up the image above on its media site announcing what we already knew: the Saab 9-1X concept is coming to Geneva and it's going to take all the right cues from its bigger brothers Although the head-on shot gives us some clues about the concept's wide stance and aggressive snout, what we really want to know is how the designers have shaped the rear hatch. While it's assumed that a sloping rear roofline will terminate into a bulbous back end, we've heard rumors that a large overhang will be fitted at the top of the roof to give a...

| BMW planning big layoff in 2008 |
| 2007-12-21 21:18:43 |
We're
so used to hearing that either GM, Ford or Chrysler will be laying off
a chunk of its workforce that it demands a double-take when another
automaker announces cuts. Today BMW has announced that it will cut
thousands of jobs in 2008, with some outlets reporting up to 8,000
workers will get the axe. A spokesman for BMW revealed that most of the
jobs lost would be in Germany and those leaving the company would
predominantly be temporary workers. If the final number does reach
8,000 employees, that means BMW will shed 8% of its global workforce
that currently stands at 108,000 employees. The layoffs are, of course,
a cost-cutting measure to improve profits, which will likely be down in
2007 compared to the year before because BMW is spending more money
than it expected on new models, new technology research and the raw
cost of materials it needs to build its Ultimate Driving Machines.
Though the news will be painful to hear for the workers that lose their
jobs, it came as sweet music to the ears of investors who are currently
pushing up the price of BMW shares.

| Audi confirms ’stunning’ concept car for Detroit |
| 2007-12-20 21:48:44 |
Audi will be using the upcoming North American International Auto Show
in Detroit to show off a ‘stunning’ new concept car. The German luxury
brand also plans to have a world premiere of a new model. Both these
cars will be unveiled during Audi’s press conference at the show, which
will be broadcast worldwide.
While Audi has provided no indication as to what each car will be, it
is believed that the concept will be based on the R8. According to our
previous report, Audi expects to release a V10-powered R8 (possibly
known as the RS8) around September next year, and a preview of this
would certainly help in allocating quite a few cars before they’ve even
gotten off the production line. However with a R8 convertible set for
2009, it could be either one.
As for the other car, a facelifted A3 is due to be available in June
2008, making it most likely that this will be Audi’s world premiere
model.

| How Cars Work |

The
car is one of the most fascinating devices that a person can own. Cars
are also one of the most pervasive devices, with a typical American
family owning two cars.A car contains dozens of different
technologies. Everything from the engine to the tires is its own
special universe of design and engineering. Therefore, we have dozens
of different articles at HowStuffWorks that explain all the intricacies
of our cars. Here are some of the highlights.>>>Source: auto.howstuffworks.com收藏到：Del.icio.us...

| Rendered Speculation: 2009 BMW 7-Series |
| 2007-12-19 10:03:28 |
The next 7-Series could say goodbye to its current bluff-sided barge proportions. According to the latest renderings, a lower, wider, larger car swoops up from a front that takes cues from the CS concept to a rear in which there are no remaining traces of the Bangle Butt. We have always been fans of the 7-Series, and would greatly welcome a return to elegance -- even if it's the brutish elegance of this rendering. We would also welcome a new interior, and word is that it will be equally redone. And that (pesky) iDrive? The annoying knob will be made ever more user friendly we're told, which shouldn't be too difficult considering the starting point. It appears the last user friendly upgrade to the iDrive wasn't as friendly as BMW thought. This time it will also get Google Maps and iPhone co...

| Toyota to be named sponsor of "Holiday Cheer" |
| 2007-12-19 03:16:51 |
Following in the fine tradition set by the likes of Lowes Motor Speedway (formerly Charlotte Motor Speedway) and the DTE Energy Music Theater (formerly Pine Knob), Holiday Cheer now has an official name sponsor. For this season of merriment, Toyota has signed on as the official sponsor of good will during the holidays. The $30 million deal will include promotions of the season's first snow fall and 15-second Toyota pre-roll ads before visions of sugar plum fairies start dancing in your head. Toyota will also be mailing out 100 million greeting cards as part of the program. If Toyota Presents: Yuletide Spirit proves to be successful in boosting holiday sal...
