Title: Auto News | Peugeot 508 spied in Station Wagon form

While heavily camouflaged, styling will likely be inspired by the '5 by Peugeot' concept which debuted at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. If you're still having a hard time trying to imagine what the production version will look like, the 508 sedan has already been caught undisguised.

Title: Auto News | Renault DeZir concept hints possible Alpine revival
Post by: MyINFO on Jul 11, 2010, 03:02 PM
Could Renault be preparing to revive the legendary Alpine brand? Possibly, according to recent reports.
                       (http://media1.blackfalconmedia.com/2010/7/5/medium/18074914811855542666.jpg)
While speculation is rampant, the unveiling of the DeZir concept is fanning the flames. The stunning coupe features a tubular steel frame and Kevlar composite body that is similar to the Megane Trophy race car, which is built in Dieppe, France. The latter is an important detail, considering Alpine was headquartered in the city.

Post by: MyINFO on Jul 13, 2010, 03:01 AM
Electric variant of the Up! will come as a three- or five-door hatch. A Space Up! minivan variant may follow later.

Volkswagen may be hesitant to bring such a small car as the Up! to the U.S. market, but in these electric-crazed times, it feels confident it will find buyers for the E-Up! there.

According to Automobilemag, the German automaker's current plans still include the electric variant of the Up! compact car coming to North American shores in 2013. Previous reports had the year at 2014.

Title: Auto News | New CEO to tackle smaller entry-level Porsche as first challenge
Post by: MyINFO on Jul 13, 2010, 09:01 AM
Porsche is facing decline sales of the Boxster and Cayman models. Sales in those lower segments will have to expand if Porsche is to meet its goal of selling 150,000 units per year by 2013.

Porsche's new CEO Matthias Mueller has work to do if he's going to achieve the sales goal the storied sports car maker has set for itself.

When Mueller, 57, takes over as CEO of Porsche AG on October 1, his first assignment will be to revive Porsche's entry-level segment which is facing declining sales. Sales are down 12 percent in the nine months through April for the Boxster and Cayman models combined. In February, Porsche introduced the Boxster Spyder with a starting price of €53,100 ($66,900).

Next-generation Audi A6 is expected to debut next year - a new RS6 iteration will undoubtedly follow.

Audi will end production of the current RS6 model at the end of the third quarter.

But the model will undoubtedly make its market return in a couple of years since the next-generation Audi A6 is scheduled to debut sometime early next year - probably at the Geneva auto show in March 2011.

According to a recent report, Jaguar has green-lighted the F- and X-type.

Speaking with Automobilwoche, Tata Motors CEO, Carl-Peter Forster, confirmed the models were currently under development. While he declined to say when they would be released, he stated both vehicles would come in "several variations." We can assume this means the X-Type will be offered as a sedan and estate, while the F-type (possibly called the XE) will be available as a coupe and roadster.

As previously speid, the prototype of the Hyundai coupe model spotted here is wearing some heavy camouflage, so we can't gleam much about how it will look. There's still lots of wiring and gear on the vehicle which tells us that Hyundai may not quite be in the final stages of testing just yet.

Title: Auto News | New Toyota Supra due in 2014 {RUMOR}
Post by: MyINFO on Jul 17, 2010, 09:02 AM
Akio Toyoda, head of Japanese automaker Toyota Motor Co., says he would like to see a new Toyota Supra hit the market.  Seen in 2007 as the FT-HS concept at the the Detroit Motor Show, the fifth-generation Supra would be the first in showrooms since the Mark IV was cancelled in 2002.

Toyoda used to test drive the fourth-gen Supra on the Nurburgring, and the idea of developing a better version became a pet project for the company chief.  Speculation suggests the car would use a hybrid powertrain involving a V6 engine.

BMW has handed out a memo to its North American dealers outlining changes for the upcoming model year which begins in September.

New for the M3 model is the addition of automatic start/stop technology as a standard feature. Stop/start works by shutting off the engine once the vehicle has come to a complete stop to save fuel. The function is automatic but can be turned off via a button located next to the ignition/off switch on the dashboard.

U.S. regulators are working on a new formula for measuring the Volt's mileage. GM says it doesn't know what that new number will be.

One of the problems in automotive journalism is that we have to report the performance claims provided by automakers, even when the opportunity to have those claims independently checked is not available. Or when we know they are laughably unrealistic.

So, chalk this one down in the category of "Yeah, right...".

Chevrolet is backing its battery technology with what it hopes will be a confidence-inspiring guarantee for prospective Volt buyers.

It is one of the most comprehensive warranty offered by any automaker on batteries, covering all 161 parts of the Volt power-pack.

Title: Volvo developing technology that will make an electric car's body its battery to
Post by: MyINFO on Sep 29, 2010, 09:01 AM
New technology involves composite materials that can serve as a battery and also be molded right into the body paneling of the car.
              (http://imgs.blackfalconmedia.com/2010/9/24/medium/18349371841975516193.jpg)

How about making the body panels of an electric car also a battery?

That's the idea that Volvo is looking at in order to find a more convenient way to store batteries on future electric cars. The Swedish automaker is currently testing that possibility by taking part in a €3.5 million project by the European Union (EU) to develop the technology.

China is now the world's largest auto market and it continues to grow even bigger. This year total passenger vehicle sales in China will be around 17 million units. For 2011, that number is expected to be 19 million and it is Audi, BWM and Mercedes-Benz who dominate the country's luxury car sector.

Title: The story behind the Viper-powered Chrysler 300 [video]

Earlier this week, a video of a Viper-powered Chrysler 300 mysteriously appeared on Dodge's YouTube channel. Was it bound for SEMA? Was it an engineer's toy? No one knew - until now.

http://www.youtube.com/v/rhPbz6yVU6I?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0

The car in question is Derek Ekins' 2006 Chrysler 300 Touring. While it originally came with an anemic 3.5-liter V6, fate intervened. When Ekins was visiting a salvage yard, he spotted a wrecked Viper and came up with an idea: replace the V6 with the Viper's 8.3-liter V10.

Nissan has sold just 686 units of the Cube in the U.K. so far this year, 251 in Italy and 107 in the Netherlands. The automaker had modest sales expectations of 2,000 units for the Italian and British markets.

Sales of the box-styled Cube, a design that can be off-putting to consumers, have been way below projections by Nissan and many of the units alloted by country remain unsold as the year comes to a close.
