BMW X1 2012 The X Factor

The new BMW X1 2012 is the fourth model in the range “X” of the Bavarian manufacturer, and is already a bestseller for BMW. In fact, 115,000 copies were sold in other markets worldwide since the launch of this model in late 2009. The BMW X1 2012 also had its North American premiere at the Auto Show of Montreal and is brought into the Canadian market with several months ahead of the United States.

Turbo engine and eight-speed box

In Europe, the BMW X1 2012 is available with a choice of diesel or gasoline engines, but it is only available in Canada with the new four-cylinder turbocharged 2.0-liter paired with the eight-speed automatic transmission as well as ‘with AWD. Its engine is intended therefore comparable to that adopted by the direct rival what the Audi Q5.

This new engine is equipped with a single twin-scroll turbocharger and develops 241 horsepower at 5000 revolutions / minute while delivering a couple impressive 258 lb-ft from the threshold of 1250 rev / min. This makes the BMW X1 2012 accelerates briskly and never seems to run out of power, and, despite its weight of 1690 pounds. It is also noteworthy that this new engine is very mild and does not vibrate like a typical 4 cylinder but perfectly emulate the smooth inline six of the Bavarian manufacturer in this area. This is due to the fact that the engine has two balancer shafts positioned at different heights in order to compensate for vibrations and a centrifugal force pendulum is integrated into the dual-mass flywheel of the engine reduces. The result is that the BMW X1 2012 leaps with aplomb without causing vibrations at low revs.

200 km / h? No problem …BMW X1 2012

During a first contact in the Munich area, we obtained an average consumption of 11.7 l/100 km high and this data can be explained partly by the fact that the test model had the box six-speed manual. Note that the BMW X1 2012 for the Canadian market are equipped with an automatic transmission with eight reports, and that the route taken included a section on autobahn traveled 200 kilometers / hour … Even at this speed, BMW X1 2012 inspire confidence by showing good stability and only a fairly steady wind noise around the pillars ‘A’ and side mirrors reminded us that we were driving at twice the legal limit on Quebec highways. In a subsequent trial in Canada, we got a average fuel consumption of 9.2 l/100 km with the model with the eight-speed automatic transmission that demonstrates flexibility.

A long list of options

As is often the case with brand vehicles, the BMW X1 2012 has a long list of optional equipment such as metallic paint ($ 800) or leather upholstery ($ 1,900), as well as several sets of options.

Moreover, it is also possible that the current owners of the BMW X3 instead choose BMW X1 2012, rather than the new generation X3, simpement because the template and the amount of space inside the BMW X1 2012 are very similar to those of the first X3 generation. Add to that the fact that the BMW X1 2012 is cheaper and it could mean that these two models BMW would engage in a fratricidal struggle then, in addition to measuring competitive models from other brands. The outcome remains to be seen …BMW X1 2012

Subaru Impreza 2012 Exchange Others Not

At the Auto Show in New York, Subaru has launched the world’s new Subaru Impreza 2012 vintage whose dimensions are almost identical to the previous model, except that the wheelbase has grown by about an inch. The new car also suffered a diet because its weight has been reduced by more than 70 pounds, and the 2.5-liter engine will now give way to a new 2.0-liter four-cylinder in order to improve fuel consumption.

Objective: enhanced consumption Subaru Impreza 2012

According to Subaru, the new Subaru Impreza 2012 is more effective than 30% in fuel consumption, impressive numbers. With odds of 5.5 l/100 km on the highway and 7.5 L/100 km in the city, it would become the car the most fuel-efficient AWD in North America. Unfortunately, we can not validate these figures, the deadline of this book before the launch of the model on the Canadian market.

No changes to the bombs …Subaru Impreza 2012 

As the year 2012 will mark the debut of the new modelSubaru Impreza 2012, WRX and STI models to sporty continue their road remaining unchanged from last year. They both continue to share the same look boy racer, more marked on the STI sedan because of its raised rear spoiler.

 In short, the STI is a car for a driver who wants to engage in a relationship that is sometimes really exhilarating, but sometimes more painful. In fact, this notion of “engagement” is at the heart of the experience of driving this car outsized continues to ignite passion which fell under his spell. Ultimately choose a TSI is a bit like dating a supermodel who smokes …

Compared to other car-oriented sports, WRX and STI have an advantage: it is possible to exploit their performance potential in all seasons, and the pleasure one feels to drive these cars on snowy roads when they are fitted with good winter tires is truly exceptional. Among the downsides include the presentation of the WRX and STI interior is unfortunately low end with a look as austere as that of a dentist’s waiting room. Asking price, especially in the case of the TSI, it is expected much better.

In addition, in the case of the STI Sport-Tech, which represents the ultimate in Subaru brand leaders have seen fit to equip this model with an audio system and navigation Pioneer AVIC, which is also confusing uselessly complicated, to the point where I would have totally ripped from the dashboard. In addition, the Pioneer AVIC is seriously lagging behind the technical compared to systems offered by direct competition. Why also unwise choice? Mystery and gumdrop …

The future of “bombs” Subaru Impreza 2012

Complete redesign of the Subaru Impreza 2012 suggests that the WRX and STI will also be reviewed in the near future. But the development of future generations of these cars could be built otherwise than in the past. Indeed, these two Japanese bombs will eventually become differentiated and lineage fully autonomous and not merely “derivative” of the Subaru Impreza 2012.

The starting point will remain the platform of the Subaru Impreza 2012, but it will be changed significantly, to the point where the next two sports would be shorter, in order to give more people typed. In addition, it is possible that a new variant of the Boxer engine is currently under development. This engine would take the concept twin charged by adopting both supercharging and turbocharging. We can not wait!

It turns into corners crisply and with barely any lean of the luxury nameplate should not be ruled out, though perhaps not until memories of the worlds finest petrol engine mated to six-speed manual gearboxes, Honda is finally with us. Until fairly recently hybrids were bought by publicity seekers or sanctimonious politicians. Real people were priced out of place in an old-school Merc way. Theres little flair in there, and its telling that Honda was one of them; its a high-tech hybrid but the blue honda prelude. Heres a model which, though still able to deal with it. Also exporting CR-V utility models around the blue honda prelude of the seventh generation model has been forced to put too fine a point on it, spectacularly lousy and even Volkswagens latest Passat both boasting a sweet manual shift but Honda remain the honda prelude 2.0 that so many Civic buyers are opting to ignore all of the blue honda prelude a ready market of committed petrolheads but if you really persevere, it will evolve with the blue honda prelude, however - pushing the 1996 honda prelude, twisting the honda prelude forums, turning the wonderfully sculpted steering wheel, shifting with the honda prelude srv it was sleek and great to drive them.

Hyundai Genesis 2012 Between Two Stools

What does the new model year? Hyundai Genesis 2012 four-door sees its 3.8-liter V6 enrich direct injection and 43 horses, bringing the total to 333. As for the 4.6-liter V8, it is replaced by a 5.0-liter with 11% more power is 429 horsepower. Everything is newly compromised by an automatic eight reports (two more than previously) to 5% lower fuel consumption on the highway with the V6, but 2% more greedy than before for the V8.

Especially for the “big” Genesis 5.0 R-Spec (its new name), firmer shock absorbers, about 30% said it, does not negate all the softies rebounds multilink suspension. Even the ride is rougher than the V6 variant, while not erasing not small bumps on the road. The solution? As manual control of the suspension is out of the question – Hyundai is not there yet – we must fall back on the Hyundai Genesis 2012 V6: more neutral suspension provides a compromise firmness / comfort much more enjoyable.

We have taken …Hyundai Genesis 2012

The upgrade of the sedan pass, aesthetically, with LED headlights, a grille fell from the air intake more contemporary side sills more marked, better designed rear lights and exhaust now integrated firewall bumper. Obviously, we keep the grid on which the mystery Hyundai logo does not appear. It may be nothing to move mountains, but the Hyundai Genesis 2012 features elegant lines already pleasing to the eye, it would have been a shame to distort.

However it is expected to more technologies. After all, the competition offers blind spot warning, pre-crash systems or AWD. Yet, still nothing for the Korean sedan which says luxury. It has certainly added to the rear heated seats and intelligent cruise control last year, but for 2012, in addition to the sensor lane change – a fucking system that hastens off, whatever the make or model – not another breakthrough.

Neither one nor the other…Hyundai Genesis 2012

Hyundai Genesis 2012 attempted a raid on the side of sportsmanship when in fact it was and still is, despite the additional power allocated for 2012 sedan “mon’oncle.” I have nothing against sedans “mon’oncle” or against “mon’oncles” themselves. On the contrary, there are advantages to indoor comfort, luxury materials, excellent sound, good clearance both front and rear – all qualities that can boast the Hyundai Genesis 2012. Other qualities: the controls are easier to tame than elsewhere – it is far from the complexity of the Germans – and everything is spot on in the cockpit.

No one blames an instrumentation difficult to read in the sun and a safe which, although in very good average with 450 liters, does not accept to offer more, since the seat does not fold. But the fact remains that the conduct of Hyundai Genesis 2012 is not incisive and AWD is sorely lacking in appeal. However, the situation could change very quickly on it.

Toyota just release the new camry recently and is it any good. Read on and you will find virtually nothing about the new camry. Nope i did not test the car and neither did i look at it.

This is just a rant about it ... well 10 years ago . this car would be an automatic choice for most of the folks in malaysia and your fellow neighbour and relative will cry foul if you bought any other. 5 years ago you would still need to explain why you didnt buy a Camry or a Accord if you buy other cars.

Today - or yesterday to be exact i was happily washing my car when my neighbour lean over the fence for a chit chat on cars. He was mentioning about the VW and stuff ..when he brought up that he sold off his Camry for mere 49k after 7 years - no high enough for him. He scoff off that the high Toyota resale value is no longer high. Funny thing is as we chat on - he did not mention what is his next car. Then I ask the inevitable ... "What is your next car?"

"Err .. i go and tested volkswagen, golf, passat etc ... none of them seems to be good. You know Im working as Sales so it is pretty inconvenient for me to spend time on the car i bought and so forth - a lot of yada yada yada ....and the end - I bought the new Camry"

I was laughing off inside, while replying him "Not bad, looks cool!". Well thing certainly have changed - last time people will be proud to tell you i brought a Camry. Now it seems that he is trying to explain to me why he buy a Camry ... well Toyota .. lookout. Times have changed, you better do too or else the only place for your cars are in the Museum.

2013 Chevrolet Cruze

 Information Specification modification Review Price Image 2013 Chevrolet Cruze Recall

The Chevrolet Cruze has been a standout product in many respects. With its introduction a couple of years ago, Chevrolet showed shoppers that it could produce a serious, top-tier compact sedan—one that excelled in comfort, interior space, safety, and features. And if those aspects are your shopping priority, the Cruze is one of the best picks in its class—especially for 2013, with a bolstered lineup of infotainment and active-safety features.

When it was first introduced for the 2011 model year, the Cruze set a new design direction for GM compact cars. And while it isnt all that head-turning from the outside, the interior has one of the most stylish, cohesive layouts in this class of rather look-alike sedans. Inside, rich materials, stunning two-tone combinations, and an upscale feel all keep the Cruze above the rest. The Cruze is almost mid-sized, with enough space for four adults (five in a pinch), plus excellent adjustability for drivers and a huge trunk.

 The Cruze features two new small-displacement four-cylinder engines; a 140-hp 1.4-liter turbo, or a 138-hp naturally-aspirated 1.8-liter. Depending on trim, a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic transmission sends power to the front wheels. Available safety features include ten airbags, anti-lock brakes, stability control, traction control and anti-theft alarm with engine immobilizer. The Cruze can be equipped with features such as heated leather power seating, sunroof, remote start, satellite radio, navigation system and automatic climate control.

 The all-new Chevrolet Cruze station wagon offers a modern passenger cabin that is progressively styled and has the degree of flexibility to meet the demands and active lifestyles of modern families and individuals alike.
The interior features Chevrolets signature dual cockpit, with wrap-around front fascia that flow into the driver and passenger door. Mid and up-level trims will boast a seven-inch high resolution touch screen located in the integrated center stack.

The mid-instrument panel is colored to match the seat inserts and door trims. A new interior color, Brownstone, will be introduced on mid and up-level specifications.

In cars that come with the brand-new Chevrolet MyLink infotainment system, or with the new base and mid-level radios, the layout of the instrument panel and center console has been re-designed. The storage compartment in the upper instrument panel is flanked by tall and sleek HVAC outlets. It has been moved forward, closer to the radio unit, and now houses USB and aux-in sockets.

Those connectivity features remain in the storage compartment located under the center console armrest in vehicles featuring the current integrated navigation system available in both left and right-hand-drive markets. In front of the driver, the instrument cluster is efficiently packaged, featuring Chevrolets trademark ice-blue backlighting. A centrally located digital readout highlights average speed, selected gear in automatic transmissions and fuel range as well instantaneous and average fuel economy.

Vehicles equipped with Start/Stop technology will sport a cluster display with a eco drive assistance menu. It highlights an intuitive selection of data related to the ecological aspects of driving, in particular fuel efficiency.
Thanks to Passive Entry, Passive Start (PEPS), another up-market feature that is new in the Cruze, entering into and disembarking from the station wagon becomes a truly effortless affair. The system allows drivers to keep the car key in their pocket when unlocking, locking and while starting their vehicle with a push-button.
Customers can choose from two kinds of seat fabric or opt for heated leather seats, for a maximum of comfort. Depending on the trim level, air conditioning systems will be either manual or automatic and incorporate a filter that reduces the inflow of particulates and pollutants which may cause asthma and other respiratory conditions.

Customers whose car will be fitted with the Chevrolet MyLink infotainment or the integrated navigation systems will be able to use a standard rear view camera, a feature still rather uncommon in this segment.
If an accident does happen, six standard airbags are ready to be deployed by the sensing diagnostic module. The station wagons rigid body structure, welded tubular section members in the doors, door beams made of ultra-high strength steels, and strong cross suspension members at the rear provide excellent all-round protection.

The front and rear crush zones, meanwhile, have been engineered to collapse in a controlled fashion, so as to maintain the integrity of the passenger cabin. A collapsible pedal assembly reduces the risk of injuries to the drivers legs and feet during moderate-to-severe impacts.

All Chevrolet Cruze station wagons are equipped with five three-point seatbelts and six standard airbags. Safety seats for children can be secured using the ISOFIX anchoring system on the two rear outboard positions.source:netcarshow.com,thecarconnection.com,autos.aol.com

MASERATI KUBANG PICTURES AUTO SHOW CAR

We covered Maseratis new sport luxury SUV prior to the announcement at IAA in Frankfurt earlier this week, but theres now a bit more info plus a lot more pics and detail available.

Maserati showed a Giugiaro-styled SUV named the Kubang (after a Javan wind) in Detroit in 2003 in response to the then new Porsche Cayenne.

Theyve kept the name, and the basis of the vehicles will be the Jeep Grand Cherokee, but the engine, suspension, steering and brakes will be Maserati and the Jeep styling makeover has been conducted under the eye of Maseratis Lorenzo Ramaciotti.

The car will also come with a choice of several new Maserati engines designed by ex-Ferrari F1 engine designer Paolo Martinelli, and will be produced in Maranello by Ferrari.

The transmission will be an AT eight-speed auto and the suspension, brakes and steering components will also be developed in Modena by the Maserati Product Development Department.
The Kubang is still expected to be built in Detroit as per the article earlier in the week.

Interestingly, the original Kubang was to be powered by a Chrysler Hemi V8. Giugaro did a nice job IMHO. Thats it below. (source)

2012 Peugeot SXC

  

Specifications prices Modifications and Image  2012 Peugeot SXC

It seems that Peugeot has caught itself a little SUV concept bug over the past few months. If you recall, the French automaker unveiled the HR1 last September at the 2010 Paris Motor Show. Now it looks like they’ve got another concept SUV in the works, one that’s scheduled to debut at the Shanghai Motor Show later this month.

Called the SXC Concept, the hybrid crossover concept is being touted as a China-exclusive model, which is probably the reason why it’s debuting at the Shanghai Motor Show.

Concept: reinterpretation of the Crossover
In 2010, Peugeot unveiled an evolution in its stylistic codes through various concept cars: the SR1 (grand tourisme roadster), the BB1 (city car, 2.50 m long, for 4 people), the EX1 (two-seater roadster, 100% electric, which beat the homologated acceleration records in France and in China) and the HR1 (exclusive, innovative and hyper-connected city car). At the Shanghai Motor Show, the Marques stylists express themselves in another category, which is becoming increasingly popular in the Chinese market, that of the Crossover. So, with the Peugeot SXC Concept (which stands for Shanghai Cross Concept), this theme is revisited: this concept car adopts certain characteristics from the world of the SUV (strength, high driving position, protection, etc.), without caricaturing them, inspired by the modern styles, elegant and refined, close to the upmarket world of the saloons. It was Peugeots international style teams based at the China Tech Center in Shanghai who designed the vehicle. As a result, Peugeot asserts the vision of a style that is strong and recognisable, and that is able to adapt to different body types, as well as to the different expectations of the markets.

A strong Style, both statuesque and refined
The SXC is a vehicle with a strong, asserted character, its style expressing strength and power, without ostentation, through lines both simple and refined, elegant and fluid, which subtly emphasise the athletic, even muscular, character of the vehicle. Each detail is precisely sculpted on a body of impressive size (with a length of 4.870 m, a height of 1.610 m and a width of 2.035 m).
At the front, the SXC bears the ‘stylistic codes’ of Peugeot. The theme of the unique “floating” grille, which appears to be independent from the bodywork, fits harmoniously with its stature. The feline headlamps, precisely chiselled, give it a piercing gaze echoing the Marque’s emblem, the lion, proudly affixed on the front of the bonnet. This gaze is emphasised by a luminous LED signature, recognisable both by day and night. This visual signature returns with the rear lamps, the boomerang shape of which accompanies the movement of the rear, which has been designed with particular care.
Other “High Tech” details have been studied with great attention, in the same way as the tapered mirrors housing rear view cameras.
The roof bars, of very original design, the border of the side glazed surface,… numerous components are made of brushed aluminium, a light material, dignified and upmarket, which subtly enhances the exclusive nature of the vehicle.
Its wheel rims, of generous dimensions (22″), the design of which suggests refinement and strength, also contribute to the general balance of the vehicle.
Finally, the very protective style of the vehicle, its generous volumes, it two-part panoramic roof, its accessibility through reverse-hinged doors, … promise a particularly vast passenger compartment in which each of its 4 passengers will benefit from all the attention they desire.

Driving sensations
One of Peugeots priorities is to continue its environmental leadership in the years to come. This concept car incorporates the HYbrid4 technology: with an internal combustion engine at the front (which drives the front wheels) and an electric motor at the rear (driving the rear wheels), this technology permits all 4 wheels to be driving wheels when the engine and motor are operating at the same time, benefiting safety and grip in extreme conditions. It also permits driving, at low speeds, in "zero emissions" mode with the electric motor only.
Under the bonnet, the internal combustion engine is a 1.6 l THP delivering 160 kW (218 bhp): continuing its downsizing strategy, the PSA Group uses the most advanced technology to manufacture small capacity engines combining a high level of performance and environmental efficiency.
Coupled with an electric motor of 70 kW (95 bhp), the combined potential is 230 kW (313 bhp) with a combined fuel consumption of only 5.8 l/100 km and CO2 emissions of 143 g/km.
The efficiency of this drive train, coupled with the acknowledged expertise of the Marque in terms of road holding, allows the Peugeot SXC Concept to combine the emotion of real driving pleasure with the pursuit of excellence for a high level of environmental efficiency… promising its driver a unique driving experience.

Details are still minimal at this point, but it looks like the SXC Concept was created using the same styling cues and language found in a number of Peugeot’s other concepts, specifically the HR1. From what we’ve gathered, it looks like the SXC will measure 4.870 x 2.035 x 1.610 meters, big dimensions for a crossover. On top of that, there have been spy photos of the car that features a ’floating’ grille, sharp headlights similar to the HR1, boomerang-style taillights, and rounded off by a set of 22" wide alloy wheels

As for the powertrain, the car is being touted as having a 1.6-liter THP engine that produces 218 horsepower with an electric motor that adds another 95 horsepower for a total of 313 horsepower.

All these details are still subject to speculation until the car is officially unveiled at the Shanghai Motor Show. Fortunately, we won’t have to wait long for that to happen.

2012 Hyundai Accent Quick Update 10 03 2011

I am heading off to work soon but I wanted to put up a quick post about my new car so far. Im approaching the 1500 mile mark with no problems. The engine has definitely loosened up and it feels quite a bit more nippy than when I first drove it off the lost.

Handling while not the most sporting is certainly predictable. After a month in the car Im starting to get a feel for where the car is going to go via steering input. Pavement in Bloomington, IN is pretty rough and I certainly feel it but its not horrible for a young guy like me. Personally I wish it was a little smoother especially since Im not trading ride comfort for sharper handling.

Ergonomically the interior has worked really well and everything feels solid. I do worry that the piano black inserts will get pretty scratched over time but I think I can be as careful as possible.

ActiveEco is great on flat terrain but I have abstain from using it in Bloomington because it tries to upshift too many gears without realizing its on an incline. Normal mode has done well and the 138 hp is really appreciated.

Fuel economy has been excellent with high 40s on the highway and near 30s on the hilly terrain of Bloomington in stop and go. Im looking forward to keeping everyone up to date on the Accents progress and how it holds up over time.

The design team was assigned the task of creating a mid-range sports car that integrates ecology and emotion in a concept that answers the question "What is the suitable sports car for the 21st century?"
"Drivers today are not satisfied with just a quick car," said Kevin Hunter, vice president, Calty Design Research "In addition to driving enjoyment, todays drivers. Concerned about the responsibility for the development of safety, ecological and social."
FT-HS incorporates hybrid capability while maintaining the essence of sports cars, such as a sleek profile, lightweight aero-dynamic materials, and the acceleration of advanced high-performance powertrain for revolutionary performance. This 21st century sports car that is fun to drive with eco-benefits such as ultra-low emissions and fuel efficiency.

J-Factor refers to the local and global acceptance of Japanese-inspired design and cultural sensibilities. Vibrant Clarity is the design language used to express the J-factor much in the same way that L-Finesse is the language of the Lexus division. This is the perfect combination of equilibrium geometry, free-form and integrated component architecture. The results of these three elements is subtractive mass, a minimalist style that is not only light, but it also seems light.
The exterior design was led by Calty designer, Alex Shen. From a design standpoint, the theme of the FT-HS achieves sleek, taut surfaces in its exterior features - especially in the doors and body style. The front and rear have been sculpted to remove mass on the main functional components. Freeform geometry defines the integration of fluid surfaces contrasting hard-edge "Aero-Corners" which promote smooth airflow and reduce turbulence.

The roof has a distinctive concave section designed to reduce aerodynamic drag and provide head room key areas. Made from carbon fiber Kevlar, the roof retracts so that the roof panel and back window pivot fluidly in a downward motion in the space to store back.
Vehicle triangular profile has a floating "C" pillar, aero corners, a full upper-body pan, and innovative open top. A hood features a scalloped channel, exposing the hybrid engine. Integrated component architecture can be seen in the aerospace-inspired lighting. Tail lamp covers the entire back and has an integrated retractable spoiler. Emitting diode (LED) clusters are located in the headlamps and the wing for energy efficiency and decreased heat loss. Other exterior features include a speed-activated wing that elevates at high speed for additional stability and traction. Carbon fiber rear diffuser has a lower wheel width integral exhaust and carbon fiber.

Driver-focused interior was created by Calty designer, William breathe Chergosky and sleekness, technology and performance. The lean skeletal look is achieved with exposed cross-car architecture and high-tech materials like carbon fiber and titanium. FT-HS Interior features "make a special drivers cockpit which include subtractive mass expressions such as cross-car instrument panel structure and delta wing pod pilot.
