Chevrolet Cruz






General Motors Europe has launched its new compact class model, Chevrolet Cruz, a sedan that sets a first for American manufacturer: GM is the first car of the global C segment, which will therefore be sold on all continents, being manufactured in Korea, Russia and the U.S. simultaneously. In Europe, the principal will be concurrent Skoda Octavia.
Chevrolet Cruz was created by GM with a very clear purpose, to provide a single model on all world markets, thus managing to make substantial savings in the company in terms of development. The platform used is a new one to be taken for future releases of GM brands, including the new Opel Astra. Cruz replaced in the new Chevrolet Lacetti portfolio, but the election body to launch sedan is not random: GM experts concluded that Europe will absorb much more quickly this type of bodywork, evidence of success and being who enjoyed competing models. Main competitor, one who has won substantial market share in recent years, will be Skoda Octavia, which now sells in two generations simultaneously with the same success. The car will be available in Romania starting this month, its base price is $ 15000, tax included. The main advantages of his Chevrolet Cruz will be designing, equipping standard extremely generous (ESP, 6 airbags, etc..) And Euro 5 engines (the petrol, 1.6 and 1.8 liters).
At this price it can be a serious option instead of a model from a used cars center .

Used Cars For All Of Us





There were voices that aren’t agreed with the cars industry, considerring it a gift or just unnecesserally. The reasons for this situation are obvious, the pollution, the danger we are exposed by this or the cities aglomeration. But, maybe this is a sacrifice we pay for the evoultion we’re living, big cities, big distances and more needs of comfort and time.
And, as if this wasn’t enough, the situation became more difficult beginning with the used cars process. The used cars market has developped very much in last years because people understanded the real utility of cars and they searched the real purpose . This market formed based on big companies that sale used autos : ExportTrader , AutoTiriac , AutoAleaGlobal . Interesting is that these companies offer you even warranty of used cars that they sale . This is an important point in your decission to buy a used car . But , another point is the good price that we pay for this models . For example , a new Ford Mondeo has a start price by 20000 $ , while a used one with 8000 miles on board costs lower than 15000 $ . The difference is huge if we make a raport price and quality , because the 2 models are very closed as quality . It's real that exist more aspects in our choose , we have to follow any problem of that used car like paint , steering , the number of miles , engine power . Here we can talk also by the car quality as name . For example , VW has the biggest number of saled used cars in 2007 , almost 40000 used autos , a good number for that kind of market .
So , an old car which has a good price can replace an expensive new one if their utilities are the same .

Geneve 2009 Big Surprise : The new Koenigsegg Quant


Swedish supercar marque Koenigsegg and NLV Solar AG, a pioneer in photovoltaics and accumulator technology, have joined forces to create the Quant. The brainchild of this marriage of power and energy is a four-seater solar electric car. A full-scale model is to be unveiled at the 2009 Geneva Salon, with the two companies currently working on running prototypes to scale up for series production.The advances in electric power generation and storage, combined with the aerodynamic, futuristic Koenigsegg design and engineering, will enable the NLV Quant to charge the FAES(Flow Accumulator Energy Storage) to full capacity in 20 minutes and give the vehicle a range of 500 kilometres. The additional power input from the invisible, thin-flm photovoltaic coating that covers the body of the car, further increases the range potential.
The ingenious Koenigsegg design provides a unique blend of supercar looks and the space of a traditional luxury sedan. The car will carry four large adults in comfort and also feature a spacious boot at the rear.The NLV Quant is rear-wheel drive, with four-wheel brake regeneration, ABS and ESP. It is powered by two electrical AC induction electric motors with variable frequency drive and in-line planetary step down drive, one for each rear wheel. The twin-motor design eliminates the need for bevel gears or a differential, further simplifying the lay-out and giving constant and controlled power proportioning to the rear wheels, in both drive and coast mode.The projected curb weight of 1780 kg is very light considering that it is a battery-powered, four-seater, luxury performance car. This is partly due to the two-motor installation which weighs in at only 140 kg – a remarkable achievement considering the power output of 512 hp and maximum torque of 715 nm which allows the Quant to deliver 0–100 km/h in 5.2 seconds and hit a top speed of 275 km/h.
We realize from this article that Koenigsegg is a special car that will not be available on the used cars online announcements with a lower price.

The super station wagon - with the ABT RS6 into a new dimension


How do you get the superlative of the word "car"? The answer is easy and still impressing: car - fast car - ABT RS6, as ABT Sportsline has set a unique benchmark in engineering: thanks to ABT Power the V10 TFSI delivers 700hp (515kW) - and that makes the RS6 a real super sportscar in an elegant but very useful clothing. For comparison: the serial RS6 achieves 580hp (426kW). The "station racecar" displays its maximum torque of enormous 800Nm (series: 650Nm) between 2400 and 6100 rpm. What does that mean? The ABT RS6 is at any time and in any situation a superior vehicle with an engine that belongs to the extremely fast ones thanks to its top speed of 310 km/h. Of course the currently most dynamic one of ABT Sportsline's car creations is easy to steer through daily traffic. The driver should, however, contain his leadfoot: beware when the ABT RS6 is unleased...Suspension springs and lowering provide for optimal road holding; Christian Abt has checked the tuning with his legendary "buttometer" and has had a whole lot of fun: "The RS6 is breathtakingly fast; it shows how perfectly knowledge in the field of engine technology and racing experience blend together." Also when it comes to the body kit, both parts of the company - motorsports and car tuning - work closely together. So the rear wing is not only a beautiful add-on part for the super station wagon, it also reduces the lift of the bodywork. Striking style elements are the front spoiler, a highly dynamic "carbon-blade" and the 4-pipe-rear muffler typical for ABT in matt black finish. The dynamic BR wheel rim in extravagant 20 inches suits the Allgäu super station wagon particularly well. This makes the RS6 look very sporty and unique; still, the agile 700hp are not too apparent: the ABT RS6 is surrounded by an air of understatement, as its spectacular riding qualities only show on the road. The RS6 is a benchmark set by ABT Sportsline. Anyway, this is huge car for a used cars market.

Audi A6 is a medium-sized automobile produced by German car manufacturer Audi. It is available in versions of body and beauty break (Avant). The second and third generation A6 were also used as a basis for the allroad quattro.

Renault Nepta Opens The French Convertibles Way


Renault Nepta Concept continues the design line started by Altica and Fluence, giving some clues about the new generation Laguna's design. Nepta is a GT Cabriolet with four seats that promisses performances equals with a famous sedan. With a five meters length the elegant concept is an expression of Renault vision on driving pleasure and dreams days. The profile of the car has a nice fluidity and the long tail remember us a Rolls Royce. The profile gave me the impression the car is made by a single piece, without link points. The front is dominated by the optical elements and by the presence of the French constructor logo. The headlights are using the LED technology that allows for a reduced energy consumption and a life expectancy greater. This technology will be in standard at every car in the future because for it is the best sollution. The rear lights seems to be crystal, they have a elegant and luxury aspect. The doors opening system is completely new, it has a point of view I have never saw at other concept. When the doors are opened, you can see also the engine, so the doors are also the hood. It sounds weird but is fantastic. The interior can receive four passengers in the best comfort conditions. The leather, the cercle clocks, the elements seem to be English product, remember again by a Rolls. The engine installed on the Nepta model is a V6 3.5l propeller that creates 420hp and a 560Nm torque at 3000RPM. The acceleration up to 100 km/h is made in 4.9 seconds. The tyres were special designed for this model and in this way, Michelin presented a new product. The Renault Nepta is definetly something new for the French cars industry which starts easy to eliminate the used cars by this kind of launches.
