| Toyota beats Holden, Ford: Will build Camry Hybrid in Australia | | 2008-06-11 06:11:00 | | Back when North American markets shunned RWD cars in the '80s and '90s, Australians couldn't get enough of them. That sentiment has been rapidly changing as the blokes down under are increasingly looking to integrate more efficient transportation into the Outback. The Australian government is in on the hybrid game, too, and has promised that any domestic automaker that produces a hybrid will be greeted with a fist-full of orders. Toyota is listening, and the Japanese automaker has green-lighted the production of 10,000 Camry hybrids per year at its Altona plant in Australia, making it the first automaker to build a production hybrid in the land of Oz. The announcement comes only a few days after an Aussie legislator singled out Ford of Australia and Holden, GM's Australian division, as companies that need to produce hybrids domestically so the government doesn't have to buy imported Toyotas and Honda hybrids. Looks like it's time for the Australian government to make with the checks. | | By: Car News | | |

Alex Girdwood, 20 and a contestant fighting for the crown on Australia’s Next Top Model had collagen injectables pumped into her lips to make them plumper. When the judges and the panel of experts found out about Alex’s plastic surgery attempts needless to say, they were left shocked. Says Priscilla Leighton-Clarke, the modeling agent responsible for granting the winner the one-year contract, “My line on cosmetic surgery when it comes to young, beautiful girls is leave it well alone”. She goes on to add, “I would never encourage any of my models to have plastic surgery and none of them do - except for one who is in her 30s”.

FPV, as well as part owner Ford Australia, have a policy of not providing performance figure claims for their cars, but an FPV source told Drive.com.au that the higher-powered version of Ford's XR6 Turbo is capable of sprinting from 0-100km/h in the high-four-second bracket.Our insider says he would be surprised if independent performance testing by motoring media didn't see the F6 at least match the 4.8 seconds BMW claims for the V8-powered BMW M3.

| Australia: The movie and the branding opportunity | | 2008-05-18 21:41:00 | | Australia is a movie by Baz Luhrmann which is due for release in November 2008. The first official preview has been launched on bigpondvideo.com.It's hard to judge a movie by its preview, but I hope this movie is great. Not because I'm particularly a Luhrmann fan (though I really enjoyed Romeo + Juliet and Moulin Rouge), or because "Our Nic" Nicole Kidman is due for a big movie. I want this movie to be huge because it has such potential as a branding exercise for Australia.I can't think of many movies that are named purely after a country with nothing else in the title. The DreamWorks Animated Madagascar is probably the highest profile movie named after a country. Brazil is another one that springs to mind, though it is not set in or about Brazil.

| Australia's Reserve Bank holds the official interest rate at 7.25% | | 2008-05-06 12:10:02 | | 00:36 05/06 At its meeting today, the Australian Reserve Bank (RBA) Board decided to leave the cash rate unchanged at 7.25 per cent.According to a statement made by the RBA Governor Glenn Stevens, inflation in Australia has been high over the past year, with the CPI rising by a little over 4 per cent and underlying measures at a similar pace. Price rises were widespread, in an environment of limited capacity and earlier strong growth in demand.In order to reduce inflation over time, the RBA believes growth in aggregate demand needs to be significantly slower than it was in 2007. Evidence is accumulating that this is occurring. Indicators of household spending have recorded subdued outcomes over recent months, and demand for credit by both households and businesses has weakened.As a result of the Board’s earlier decisions, additional rises in market interest rates and tougher credit standards for some borrowers, there has been a substantial tightening in financial conditions since the | | By: All About Investiment | | |

| Outcry In Australia Over Underage Fashion Models | | 2008-04-18 08:02:35 | | Australian Fashion Week organizers faced a public outcry recently over hiring 14-year-old Polish girl Monika Jagaciak as the top model for next month's event in Sydney. Fashion week chief organizer Simon Lock took a stand on the issue of child models.Lock stated that there has been criticism of the industry in the past for promoting the Lolita syndrome and then said that was something the AFW would not stand for. The South African Press Association reported that Lock said, "The designers love these models as coat hangers for their clothes. They don't want to exploit their sexuality in any way whatsoever."One of Jagaciak's recent modeling assignments saw her under a shower posing in a white swimming outfit.Lock's stand against young models lasted until mid-day, when rather than announce a change of heart himself, the AFW released a statement on his behalf stating that no models under 16 would be allowed to appear at the event and that Jagaciak could stay at school.The statement said, "P | | By: Fashion Models Biography, Images, Photos, News | | |

| Brazil, Australia Post Record Car Sales | | 2008-04-12 11:30:00 | | Brazilian and Australian markets were on a roll in 2007, both hitting record numbers of automotive sales compared to previous years. The Brazilian market saw three million vehicles built and 2.5 million sold for the first time in its history, up 29.3 percent from the previous period. Expected sales for 2008 are in the region of 2.89 million from a production number of 3.23 million.Down Under, Australia brought in one million vehicles in a calendar year for the first time in history. The exact number of vehicles sold was 1,049, 982, which totally blew the previous record of 988,269 set in 2005.

"Instead of going to all the shops - and getting the prices - we do that for you."

| Fiat launches new Fiat 500 1.3 JTD Lounge in Australia | | 2008-04-10 07:17:00 | | Just months after its Australian launch, Fiat is adding a new variant to the award-winning 500 range with arrival of the Fiat 500 1.3 JTD Lounge, matching market-leading fuel economy of just 4.2 litres per 100 km with the top trim and equipment package to produce a unique combination of luxury, economy and chic style."The launch of this car in Australia is a clear sign of marked change in the market's attitude to diesel," says Edward Butler, General Manager for Fiat cars in Australia. "Diesel is no longer associated just with basic, economy motoring. Australian customers increasingly want the economy and environmental ability of diesel matched to a chic, luxurious car and cars don't come much more stylish and chic than the 500 or, with the top of the line Lounge equipment package, luxurious. This new model is a response to demands from Australian customers for a range-topping specification 500 with the advanced Turbo Diesel engine."Read more... | | By: Auto Blog India by Infibeam | | |

| Lexus Australia Dealerships to grow 50% by 2012 | | 2008-04-08 19:59:36 | | When John Roca, the chief executive of Lexus Australia, isn’t leaking the future plans of his employer, he’s busy planning the expansion of Australia’s dealer network by more than 50%: Lexus Australia has announced plans to grow its current 22-strong dealer network by more than 50% by 2012. Dealers will commit A$230m towards new and existing dealer facilities and sites over the next four years. New outlets will be in a mix of regional and metropolitan centres. Lexus chief executive John Roca said that the commitment had been made possible by the continued growth of the brand in Australia over the last seven years. “Lexus locally is in growth mode,” he said. “Demand for our vehicles regularly outstrips supply and our dealerships in their current format are reaching their capacity limits.” The new dealerships will be based on the recently opened Lexus Perth dealership (pictured above), which has a very nice look.

| GM Volt Electric Hybrid Confirmed for Australia | | 2008-04-07 00:20:00 | | The General Motor killed electric car, the Volt hybrid, is recharged overnight and confirmed to be sold for Australia, as told Australian journalists at the New York motor show that a right-hand-drive version of the Volt would follow "within months" of the US version going on sale.Californians will be first to get the car that can be recharged overnight from a home power point. The Chevrolet Volt will then be sold to customers in Washington "for political reasons" and then Florida, New York and elsewhere on the east coast of America.Once the car is up and running successfully in left-hand drive, right-hand drive versions will follow quickly.But the company wanted to make sure the technology was bulletproof before exporting it to other markets.The Volt is about the size of a Holden Astra and can run for up to 64km on battery power alone. A small petrol-powered generator, which recharges the battery rather than drives the wheels, extends the range to about 400km between recharges.The Vol | | By: Autos Space | | |
