However, it isn't merely North American plants that will be changed over, but American plants. The Journal doesn't give any further indication of where those plants might be or what those cars might be, only saying that the strategy could be revealed during Ford's Q2 earnings announcement this Thursday.

| | Toyota cuts global sales target to 9.5M vehicles | | 2008-07-17 06:05:00 | | If there was ever any doubt that the auto industry is in a very rough patch, today's news from Toyota should erase any doubt. A Japanese newspaper is reporting that the automotive juggernaut has unofficially revised its 2008 sales forecast from an ambitious 9.85m vehicles to a still blistering 9.5m units. Not only is the high price of gas and a dismal U.S. market contributing to Toyota's woes, it's also seeing slower than anticipated sales in Japan and Europe. The news comes a month after Toyota announced U.S. cuts of its trucks and SUVs. Helping to mitigate the sales decline are the white hot emerging markets of Russia, China, and India, where Toyota is doing very well.While Toyota hasn't officially stated that it would be revising its sales projections downward, this isn't the first time we've heard a dip could occur. The news isn't all bad for Toyota, as reaching 9.5m units would still be the most Toyota has produced in one calendar year. Toyota is expected to officially announce c... | | By: Car News | | |

| | NHTSA investigating 2.7 million GM vehicles over engine fires | | 2008-06-19 07:54:00 | | Way back in February, the NHTSA began investigating certain full-size trucks and SUVs from General Motors for the possibility of their engines spontaneously combusting, even when the ignition key is in the 'off' position. At that time, the investigation covered some 423,000 vehicles, and GM seemed pretty confident that the issue would not be widespread. Yeah, it appears as if the General was a little off in that assessment. The engine fire issue may now affect about 2.7 million vehicles, including all of the latest Chevrolet, GMC and HUMMER full-size models.A preliminary examination of the electric systems throughout these vehicles is being conducted at this time. Depending on the results of the NHTSA's 'Engineering Analysis', a recall could follow. So far, there exists 41 reported cases of non-crash-related underhood fires, with 16 of those supposedly with the ignition turned off.

| | | GM Whittle Big-Car Production, Seeking Small Vehicles | | 2008-06-04 09:48:00 | | WILMINGTON, Del. — General Motors officially blew up its old business model Tuesday, closing four pickup and SUV factories, announcing a new small car that could get 45 miles per gallon and shedding 10,000 jobs in the process.But it remains to be seen whether the world's largest automaker by sales can sell enough cars to make money in a shrinking U.S. market and stay ahead of the bill collectors.The automaker said it would idle pickup and SUV factories in Janesville, Wis.; Oshawa, Ontario; Moraine, Ohio; and Toluca, Mexico, as it tries to deal with a shift to smaller vehicles brought on by $4-per-gallon gasoline.GM said the truck plant cuts, which will reduce production capacity for pickups and large SUVs by about 35 percent, will save $1 billion per year. When combined with earlier measures, they will save by 2011 $15 billion over 2005 costs.GM's moves, which come after a series of restructuring measures since 2005, result from a huge shift in U.S. consumer preferences for small car... | | By: Autos Space | | |

| | Kia looking to assemble vehicles in Georgia | | 2008-05-28 13:08:00 | | Since Hyundai/Kia has dropped the idea of a pickup truck, Kia's new assembly plant in West Point, Georgia will instead turn out small cars. The first vehicle that will roll off the assembly lines in 2009 is Kia's Sorento, with body on frame construction well suited to a pickup. What doesn't seem primed for a pickup, however, is a softening market, so Kia has decided to redouble its efforts on small cars.No details about the upcoming car were discussed, only that we should expect a Spectra-sized C-segment vehicle that may be shared with Hyundai. Hyundai CEO Kim Dong-Jin confessed to the organization losing its way slightly by slacking off on small, high volume cars and going after larger vehicles to bolster the brand images and offerings. A return to its roots will please dealers, and the Genesis Coupe will kick off a turbocharging frenzy at Kia, which will focus on small displacement forced induction engines.[Source: Automotive News - Sub.

| | Breakdown Cover: Necessary for All Types of Vehicles | | 2008-05-28 03:43:41 | | Breakdown Cover: Necessary for All Types of VehiclesBy: Smith James Any help that comes exactly at the time of need is certainly serves a great purpose. Same is the case with breakdown cover. It is a type of auto insurance that ensures that you get help when you need it and also assures that you get it on the place you want it. Unlike any other insurance, in breakdown cover you do not need to make a claim and wait for long days to get the compensation. Here you make a claim and help is present!Like all other types of auto insurances, breakdown cover can be taken against any kind of vehicles. Be it a car or a van, it is possible to get this type of insurance policy against it. The need of insurance is necessary for all types of vehicles. A van has all the necessity to have an insurance against it as a car has. Rather, sometimes insurance against breakdown seems to be more important for a van than a car.A van is meant mainly for carrying goods from one place to another.

| | | Ford to make less vehicles in 2008: more cars, fewer trucks | | 2008-05-24 08:02:00 | | Ford issued a press release this morning detailing its plans for the remainder of 2008, and considering the current price of gasoline, weak U.S. economy and rising cost of raw materials, the changes are exactly what you'd expect. Ford will now be producing 690,000 vehicles during the remainder of this year's second quarter, down 20,000 units from its previous estimate and 15% below its total for Q2 2007. Production levels in Q3 will fall to between 510-540,000 units in Q3 2008 (down 15-20% from Q3 2007) and between 590-630,000 units in Q4 2008 (down 2-8% from Q4 2007).Though it will be producing fewer units overall, Ford will increase production of hot-selling cars and CUVs like the Focus, Edge and Escape, Mercury Milan and Mariner, and Lincoln MKZ and MKX. Production of trucks and SUVs, however, will drop sharply because potential customers are walking away from these relative gas-guzzlers in droves. Since those models typically earned big profits for Ford, the Blue Oval revised the t... | | By: Car News | | |

| | Different Finance Sources For Motor Vehicles. | | 2008-05-21 04:57:00 | | Purchasing a motor vehicle can be a hassle-free experience if you know where to obtain funds for financing the purchase. The loan market has grown so much over the past 20 years that the options of financing have multiplied exponentially. However, it is important to know the pros and cons of each loan product in order to decide for the finance source that best suits your needs. Within a matter of hours you can obtain all the money you need for purchasing your desired motor vehicle. However, as motor vehicle loans differ from regular car loans, you should be extra careful when negotiating the loan terms. It is possible to obtain inexpensive financing, but it is as well possible to close on too onerous deals.

| | Tata to enter two vehicles in Automotive X Prize | | 2008-05-15 20:08:00 | | Up until today, there were no major automobile manufacturers taking part in the Progressive Insurance Automotive X Prize. That changes with Tata Motors signing a letter of intent to compete in both the Alternative and Mainstream classes. The Alternative Class allows for the use of fewer than four wheels, though Tata's intention is "to enter a pure e-drive micro car" in that class. The more relevant Mainstream Class requires four wheels, a two-hundred mile range and the equivalent of at least 100 miles per gallon from a package capable of carrying four passengers. For this class, Tata indicates that it will enter a Dominant Electric Hybrid vehicle. We're rather anxious to see what Tata is able to cook up for this eco-friendly competition, considering that whatever engineering goes into the development of its X Prize challengers can easily be applied to the production Nano, as well as Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles.[Source: AutoblogGreen]Press Release:Tata Motors Limited Intends to Compe... | | By: Car News | | |

Turns out, Toyota customers were not happy with the works that Audubon was doing to close down certain nature areas to visitors. The PR trouble isn't stopping Toyota from continuing to give money to groups that are looking after the land.Toyota announced today that it will donate a total of $5m and 23 vehicles to various U.S. National Parks. The donations will be used "to enhance environmental leadership and educational programs at parks around the country," according to Toyota's release (read it in full after the jump).

| | Alternative Sources Of Finance For Motor Vehicles. | | 2008-04-26 05:49:00 | | Though there are motor vehicle loans usually tailored by dealerships or vehicle providers, the cost of financing using those loans is not usually inexpensive. Thus, it is smart to consider other options before jumping in to purchase a motor vehicle with an unsuitable form of finance. There are alternative sources of finance for motor vehicles that you might want to consider first. These loans are provided by banks and financial institutions. There are even non traditional sources that can provide financing to those with less than perfect credit. The nature of these loans differs and depending on your qualifications, you will be able to obtain cheaper financing and longer repayment programs so as to get lower monthly payments too.

Many of these units are headed to businesses interested in lowering their fleets' carbon footprints.

The Focus ECOnetic emits just 114 g/km of CO2, and the new Mondeo is rated at less than 140g/km.In other related news, Roelant de Waard, head of Ford U.K., says that an ECOnetic S-Max is a possibility, but don't expect any hybrids from Ford's outpost in Blighty.

| | All Terrain Vehicles and Kids - Safety Tips | | 2008-03-05 12:31:46 | | All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) are motorized vehicles with three or four wheels and large, low-pressure tires. They are designed to be used by a single operator in off-road areas, not on public roads. They can weigh up to 272 kg (600 lbs).ATVs are not safe for children and young teenagers, who don’t have the strength or skill to handle them properly. Still, many kids do use them, especially in rural or remote areas. Each year, many children and youth are seriously injured or even killed while riding an ATV.You would be surprised to know that in Canada, nearly 25% of ATV-related deaths are among children under 15 years old.More than one-third of serious injuries from ATV crashes are among children under 15 years old. ATV injuries have been reported in children as young as one year old.How can ATVs be used safely?You’re more likely to be injured on an ATV if you don’t use it properly.

For the players in the luxury car category, the competition is tough; for the patrons, more often than not, the problem lies on the tag price. Be it a sports coupe, a sedan or a limousine---all are expensive, that is if youre planning to own one. But for those who opted not to purchase or just plain cannot buy one (lets face it, only a select few can obtain and maintain these luxury cars), there remains an option---renting. With this set-up, the luxury car experience is no longer limited to the upper echelon. With that said, anyone wants to canvass for a limousine service in CA? How about renting an exotic car in NY?

The result: high-tech, innovative vehicles with alternative fuel choices … and exciting design and brand character. Chrysler LLC’s mission to be more environmentally responsible is significantly changing how we envision vehicles in our future portfolio. Jeep Renegade Concept As the entire automotive industry has basically the same technology pool from which to draw, our design challenge remains similar to what it has always been: How do we distinguish Chrysler’s future designs from the rest of the pack? Even in this environment, we must create emotional designs, and must offer vehicles that people will really want to own and drive. Dodge ZEO Concept So we have challenged ourselves to unleash our design passion – in combination with these future technologies and linked to the Chrysler, Jeep® and Dodge brands for our 2008 concept vehicles. Each of the technologies must be transparent to our customers and provide an exceptional driving experience. In addition, each technology must be optimally packaged in the vehicle to ensure uncompromised comfort and function. Chrysler ecoVoyager Concept The Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge concept vehicles for 2008 take advantage of the unique packaging and design opportunities realized by these advanced powertrain systems. The all-new Chrysler ecoVoyager concept, Jeep Renegade concept and Dodge ZEO concept take advantage of the best of new technologies and couple them with the room, comfort, speed and style customers will not sacrifice – allowing potential customers to still feel good about their personal impact on the environment even when simply having fun.

The problem is the rear axle pinion seal, which is potentially defective and can leak. If it does, the fluid can leak out of the differential and the drive wheel can then lock due to the fluid loss. If this happens while the car is in motion, the driver could lose control. One such crash has been reported, and involved a collision with another vehicle. GM has acknowledged that these vehicles have been the subject of an abnormally high number of warranty claims due to the problem, as well. Recall notices will go out this coming February.

| | 32 more 2008 vehicles qualify for Canadian ecoAuto rebate, including Fit and HHR | | 2007-12-09 20:55:43 | | The list of vehicles eligible for Canada's controversial ecoAuto program has been updated with thirty-two more 2008 models added. The program pays Canadian car-buyers rebates of $1,000-2,000 when they buy vehicles on the list. To qualify, the cars and trucks have to meet a minimum mileage threshold. Among the vehicles added to the list this year are the Honda Fit and the non-hybrid Civic models. Previously they fell just shy of the threshold but were modified for the new model year to be eligible. There are some dubious inclusions on the list however. Similar to US CAFE regulations where cars and trucks are counted separately, the same is true for the ecoAuto program. This leads to some creative decisions about qualifies as a truck. Few would argue about the Ford Escape or Toyota Highlander Hybrids being trucks. Most drivers of the Chevrolet HHR or Jeep Compass (are there actually any Compass drivers?) might be surprised to here the government considers them trucks.

| | 2008 Beijing Olympic: Fewer Vehicles, Cleaner Air | | 2007-08-22 00:17:00 | | (BEIJNG, August 21) -- The tests measuring the effect of reduced road traffic over the last four days on air quality were successful, according to Du Shaozhong, deputy director and spokesman for the Beijing Administration of Environmental Protection. For four days, from August 17-20, Beijing restricted the number of motor vehicles on roads, based on license plate numbers.Speaking at Tuesday's press conference, Du attributed the accurate measurement to two factors: 1. The weather was ideal, in that it was not conducive to air pollution dispersion, and allowed for an accurate measurement of the pollution; 2. City residents cooperated and kept more than one million motor vehicles off of roads.Furthermore, said Du, the test results clearly indicate that limiting the number of motor vehicles on roads had a positive effect on improving Beijing's air quality, reducing air pollutants by 15-20%, and thereby achieving level 2 air quality (air pollution index between 50-100) for all four days.Du pointed out that on Tuesday, when road traffic returned to normal, the sky was clear and blue, but the air quality was only at level 3, with the air pollution index at 116. He pointed out that a blue sky does not necessarily equal good air quality. A true "blue skies" day should be supported with numbers.Various research organizations including the Beijing Environmental Monitoring Center, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Peking University, Tsinghua University, etc. were involved in administering the numerous tests, employing various scientific methods in order to ensure accurate measurements.2008 Beijing Olympic News:Tianjin Olympic Center S...Good Luck Beijing Sport Events Highly Evaluated By...2008 Beijing Olympic: Beijing 2008 Olympic Call Ce...2008 Beijing Olympic: Welcome to Beijing2008 Beijing Olympic News: Olympic technical opera... ... | | By: 2008 China Beijing Summer Olympic | | |

Virtually all of the world's major automakers are racing to build fuel cell vehicles.GM says reassigning the engineers signals production of commercially viable hydrogen vehicles may be only a few years away, though many scientists and others remain skeptical."This says, 'Not only have we done it in a lab, we're ready to do it for real,' " said Larry... | | By: Autos Space | | |

The company will put the first cars on sale in Santa Monica, California, in November, then move to major cities including San Francisco, New York, Chicago, and eventually Denver, Boston and other major markets.Automotive News quoted Tesla Marketing Vice President Darryl Siry as saying, "We can't hand over the car to an independent franchiser" who would "spend his time apologizing for the car's shortcomings." Therefore the company plans to run its own sales outlets, which he said would be more like an Apple computer store than a traditional vehicle dealership.Bloomberg reports 400 orders have already been placed for the first model, the two-seat Tesla Roadster, with California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and actor George Clooney on the list.A second model, the WhiteStar sedan is due in 2010.
