Mercedes Benz Car

Mercedes-Benz is a German manufacturer of automobiles, buses, coaches, and trucks. It is currently a division of its parent company, Daimler AG (formerly Daimler Chrysler AG), after previously being owned by Daimler-Benz. Mercedes-Benz has its origins in Karl-Benz's creation of the first petrol-powered car, the Benz Patent Motor wagen, patented in January 1886, and by Gottlieb Daimler and engineer Wilhelm Maybach's conversion of a stagecoach by the addition of a petrol engine later that year.

Between 1997 and 2003 Toyota released an all electric version of its popular RAV4 sport utility vehicle.

If you are unfamiliar with the RAV4, it's considered a compact crossover SUV that is considered one of the more fuel efficient vehicles in its class. While the gas powered RAV4 SUV is very popular, the electric RAV4 was not.

Between 1997 and 2003 sales were flat. Not many people were interested in an all electric SUV.

Now, the electric RAV4 is about to make a comeback. In 2010, Toyota announced a partnership with Tesla Motors to develop a new electric RAV4, which will be called the RAV4 EV. It is predicted to be out sometime in 2012. While there is still some time before the RAV4 EV hits the market, here are some things you need to know about it if you are thinking of buying one.

Like all electric vehicles the RAV4 EV will have a lithium battery. According to Toyota, it will be a lithium metal oxide battery with an output range around 30 kwh. Additionally the body of the RAV4 EV will be much different than the typical body of a standard RAV4. The front bumper, grille, headlamps, and fog lamps have all been redesigned. The new look gives the electric SUV an aerodynamic look. The RAV4 EV will also have a custom paint job as well as special logos that separate it from standard RAV4 SUVs.

Inside the new RAV4, there will be new seating and trim. It will include a multimedia dashboard as well as a push-button shifter. It will also have a 73 cubic foot cargo area when you fold down the rear seats. By comparison the standard 2011 RAV4 does not have all of these features. But if you can't wait for the RAV4 EV the standard RAV4 is a quality vehicle.

The 2011 RAV4 starts at $21,925 and has a variety of options such as integrated floor lamps, electronic on demand 4 wheel drive and many other options. In terms of gas mileage, it gets 22 miles per gallon during city driving and 28 miles per gallon during highway driving.

According to Toyota, the new RAV4 EV SUVs are testing around the 100 mile range before they need a charge. However this number may change once the vehicle is put into production in 2012.

Since the RAV4 EV is not due out until 2012, you will have some time to consider whether or not this is the right vehicle for you.

The benefits of electric cars include the fact that you're helping the environment. These types of cars decrease the United States' dependence on oil. However, it may be difficult to find qualified mechanics to work on these vehicles once they come out.

TOYOTA class car

Toyota Cars has always been a market leader for many decades now. The brand has continued to deliver quality products and services to its loyal client base who do not think twice before buying any product from them.

However, there have been some technical malfunctions that have been experienced in the cars manufactured by Toyota. The fault has been found primarily in the accelerator pedal. It was few years back that Toyota first announced that it will introduce a shrunk model of the accelerator in all its 2007 - 2010 models. It was then only, that many automobile experts had raised their concern on this.

The thought behind this was that, if the gas pedal was made smaller, it would help avoid the situation of the accelerator being stuck under the floor mat of the driver. But the fact remained that it was only half the measure. The actual way of sorting out the problem was to reprogram the computer so that it would include a brake to idle fail safe.

The company has now recalled the cars that have new gas pedals and replaced them with brake to idle fail safe in some cars.

This new technology that the brand has introduced i.e. brake to idle fail safe, is something that is computer controlled. It cancels the accelerator inputs as the brakes are depressed. Thus, with this new technology, it becomes impossible for the accelerator, if ever stuck, to cause an accident. This is because a single touch of the brakes gives an indication to the computer that the gas pedal should be ignored.

The fail safe is a foolproof and simple countermeasure for the stuck up accelerator problem, as it only requires the ECU or engine control unit programming to be updated. Thus, when Toyota had announced that they would re-size the accelerator pedals in its new cars, they also announced that they would reprogram the Camry, Avalon and few other cars and include in them their latest technology i.e. brake-idle-fail safe system.

This indeed is great news for all the owners of Toyota. They as always, have ensured that they give the best to their customers and have thus set a great example of always doing the right thin

Hybrid cars have been and continue to be a hot topic among the auto industry and for good reason.

They aren't as harmful to the environment as normal gas guzzlers, and they get a much higher mile to every gallon. The main issue consumers had with hybrid models is that they didn't have a large selection of cars to choose from.

Toyota is changing all that with six new Hybrid model cars planned by 2012. Check out what our predictions for the models that they will be choosing.

The Toyota Highlander is a favorite ride of many people, so when they came out with the Highlander Hybrid model a few years ago it got many people excited. Well, now they are creating a hybrid model of one its top selling SUV, the Rav4. By 2012 we will see an all electric version of the Rav4 that competes with the Ford Escape Hybrid and hopefully gives the 30 mpg the Escape currently gets a run for its money. Toyota developed this car with Tesla so perhaps it will have some of the same functionality as the Prius.

Toyota Sienna Hybridis what the minivan market has been looking for years to find and now Toyota delivers. The only question is: Will the Sienna come before the Honda Odyssey Hybrid, which is supposedly being released within the next few years? The family van market is a great niche to control and by the time the Sienna Hybrid is released, people will be extremely happy to see it.

The Toyota Yaris is currently being developed for the Japanese market, so bringing it overseas to the United States is not a far stretch. The Yaris was a top seller because people are starting to care more about the gas mileage their car gets, rather than how much horsepower it has and what it looks like. Many people are already calling the Yaris the "Prius Jr." which is a great car to be associated with.

A Toyota Corolla Hybrid just makes sense to us. In a market where hybrids aren't yet mainstream as many believe they should be, creating a Toyota Corolla Hybrid can be just what is needed to give hybrids that push into the forefront of car purchases. Creating a Corolla hybrid will put gas-electric technology directly in the heart of Toyota's brand.

The last two hybrids announced are Lexus Hybrids which makes picking them a little more difficult. Currently they already have four Lexus hybrid models on the market and the CT200h should be coming to the US market by 2011. If it does that is one model taken care of and the other might be a sporty fast vehicle that complements the CT200h.

The new Audi A1 has been causing quite a stir since its debut at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show, and now Audi's smallest model has picked up the coveted What Car? Car of the Year 2011 award. It was a fantastic night for Audi's premium subcompact hatchback, which also took home the Best Supermini gong.

Steve Fowler, Editor-in-Chief of What Car? commented: "The Audi A1 is a brilliant car: brilliantly targeted and brilliantly executed. More and more buyers are looking for smaller, more efficient cars, but with all the luxury trappings of much larger cars. That's exactly what Audi has given them - a super-stylish, high quality small car that's affordable and great fun, too."

The A1, which is described by Audi as a 'big idea condensed', was voted as the Most Exciting Car of 2010 at last year's awards. Jeremy Hicks, Director of Audi said the combination of exceptional build quality, premium finishes, affordable running costs and class-leading value retention are what make the Audi A1 so sought after.

With prices starting from just £13,420 the Audi A1 is more expensive than its supermini rivals, if you think the Citroen C3 starts from £10,790 and the Fiat 500 has a price tag starting from £9,665. But there is no equal currently in the luxury car market, although BMW are planning a front wheel drive supermini that will be the smallest in its range. BMW's Audi A1 rival is set to be produced in 2015.

For now the A1 is hogging the limelight. The UK's national launch of the A1 on November 13th was a star studded event. The Audi A1 Drive Away saw celebrity drivers and guests take an en-masse test drive of the new city friendly A1 from London's Battersea Power Station.

Audi are still Europe's best selling premium brand, with 2010 proving the best year so far for the brand in terms of sales. The exclusive A7 Sportback was released in October and the new Audi TT, which took the top spot in the Coupe category for the fifth year running, has benefited from a number of enhancements for 2011. The What Car? panel were impressed by the TTs handling and improved performance.

Two years ago we custom ordered a GMC acadia which arrived a month after the birth of our second child. Our previous vehicles was a supercharged Buick Regal, which was a great car, but was getting a bit aged and wasn't quite big enough for all the baby gear.

After two years we still love the Acadia and would buy it again in a heartbeat. It's comfortable, roomy, has fold down seats for carrying a lot of cargo, seats 7-8, and has a lot of luxury features you can add on. We got the entertainment package with the DVD player and screen, which both kids really love. It's a wonderful way to keep them entertained on longer road trips, although they would use it for short ones, too if we let them. Two wireless headphones keep the sound in the back so the adults can hear something else.

It drives nicely, is tall enough to see over most cars, gets pretty decent gas mileage (24-29 highway depending on conditions, 16 in town), and looks sharp. If we're out shopping and want to buy something big we no longer have to go home and get a truck, we can do it right away. We even stuffed a new front door into it, 80 inches tall by 36" wide new in the box with all that packing foam and everything. It had to go in at an angle, but it worked. You can't do that in a small car. It was amazing and just confirmed how versatile that vehicle really is.

Would I change anything? Yes. The middle row of seats aren't quite as comfortable as the driver and front passenger seats and it would be nice if they could lean backwards.

Everyone knows about the upcoming Chevrolet Volt, GM's plug-in electrified hybrid vehicle. General Motors has been beating the Volt drum steadily since the car was first announced in 2007, frequently updating the world as to what we can expect when this extended range model hits the market in late 2010.

Voltec Technology

The Volt represents the first of what GM has promised will be several models utilizing its lithium-ion technology, with several more models planned in the coming years. GM now calls this technology Voltec in a bid to clarify and streamline mention of its electrification plans. In short, Voltec represents vehicles incorporating li-ion battery technology, with a 40 mile pure electric range and more than 250 miles of additional range thanks to a supplementary 1.4L gas engine.

A concept of a second model, the Cadillac Converj, has already made its way around the auto show circuit, but GM has decided not to go ahead and produce the car. At this point, GM is concentrating on bringing its XTS to the market, a full-sized hybrid sedan slated to replace both the STS and CTS. The Converj, though attractive and well thought out, might also compete with the Cadillac CTS coupe, thus one possible reason why GM decided against producing the car.

New Models

An official decision from GM concerning additional Voltec models will likely follow the Chevy Volt's release, perhaps as early as Winter 2011 when the first Volts have had time to be in customer's hands. There are several places where Voltec would work across GM's four remaining brands, but since GM isn't saying I'm speculating and offering up the following possibilities:

Buick - Cadillac won't see the Converj, but that beautiful coupe could be the basis for the all new Buick Riviera. Buick needs a statement model; what better car to offer up than one that is forward thinking, yet so very attractive?

GMC - GMC is making do with its Terrain and Acadia crossovers, but why not supplement these two models with a third crossover? A Voltec crossover model has long been rumored and GMC is a natural fit. Of course, that means Chevrolet will probably get its own copy as badge engineering between the two brands remains popular.

Cadillac - The Converj is gone, but a compact Cadillac sedan will eventually slot below the CTS. Why not make it a Voltec model and why not develop a well appointed luxury sedan? Don't get me started speculating about a Cadillac Voltec roadster!

When will these new models arrive? Expect that by model year 2015, each GM division to offer Voltec technology. How it looks and whether a minivan or pickup truck might be included in the mix remains to be s

When it comes to driving classy cars GMC has always delivered. Take the GMC Yukon for example, how many different Hollywood action shows use this glamour car as the center theme. How many shows involve a high speed chase with a black Yukon vehicle that cruises around like a tank? Think of how the FBI gets around, they use these Yukons' for everything that they do. The Yukon is the alpha of all cars and has clearly showed its masculine prowess by its high performance vortec engine. This vehicle has been the man machine for the last ten years.

GMC has always dominated the SUV market with its high performance V8 engines that seem to destroy their competition. These V8 engines seem to give men the freedom and ambition they need to conquer the world around them. These vehicles are great for all seasons making it a very versatile car with many capabilities. Do you like skiing? No problem with this bad boy as it has all of the latest anti-slip four wheel drive components to get you to any ski slope around the country. Like boating? Even better, as you can tow the fastest hottest wake board boats in existence, to any of the thousands of lakes across the United States. These trucks in disguise can tow and pull whatever you want, taking you to wherever you want, when you want, as fast as you want, and that's tough to beat.

So is it just the masculine appeal that drives the sales for these massive vehicles? Or is there more to these man tanks that make them so popular? The answer lies in the size and comfort of these huge beasts. Men love them because they can do what they love best with the cars, but they also like them because they help transport there family around with ease. These GMC's are great for lugging the kids around to their many activities and sports throughout the week making moms job much easier. Even if it's snowing outside and your need to go shopping with your kids that's ok, just load them up throw in the four wheel drive and go have a blast.

So when everything is said and done these vehicles get you where you want to go, when you want to be there. And on top of all that they keep the family safe and help mom get all of her errands done. What could be better about a vehicle that offers so much? And that's why GMC's will continue to reign supreme in the world of cars.

With the Frankfurt motor show's press days underway, Audi revealed a technical study that examines what its R8 sports car might be like if powered by four powerful electric motors. The answer is E-Tron. The four motors fitted under the hood produce a modest 313 horse power but an astronomical 3,319 pound-feet of torque. Isn't it amazing!

The total torque produced does not come at once. Such a quantity of twisting force usually found in the M47 Patton tank would turn all the tires into rubber vapor at the first throttle. The E-Tron is equipped with an electronic version of torque-vectoring system that is found in some of the Audi cars which are already on the road. This electronic version distributes the required torque to each wheel as needed to maximize traction the cornering ability. As Audi says it takes 4.8 seconds to get to 100 Km/h (62 Mph) from 0. This may not be termed as spectacular when compared with other super-cars. But once the rolling sets to go, the plot quickens - 37 Mph to 75 Mph in just 4.1 seconds, the extra torque stepping into defeat the mountain forces of friction and the resistance by wind.

Top speed has been clocked for 127 miles per hour. This may not be of much service when it comes to long trips, considering its range of 154 miles. The total energy content of the liquid-cooled batteries is roughly 53 kilowatt hours, with a usable portion restricted to 42.4 kilowatt hour, to increase the life of battery service. The weight distribution was managed properly and is very close to that of a gasoline powered R8. The heavy battery pack has been mounted behind the passenger cabin to optimize the center of gravity and axle load distribution, giving the car a front/rear weight loading of 42/58. A specialized thermal management system has been installed which controls the temperature of the driving system, power electronics, battery and the interior climatic control. A heat pump is also installed to warm up the interior in case of unavailability of waste heat from the electrical system.

The Audi E-Tron concept's interior takes advantage of the lack of a traditional drive train encroaching on space; designers created a slim center tunnel and console with a flush gear selector
The Audi R8 E-Tron also communicates with its surroundings. Yes, that's right. E-Tron showcases of something Audi calls as "Car-to-x-communication". It's a prototype for an information-processing system that networks the E-Tron to other cars and its surroundings by way of transmitting devices. Such a system can help reduce accidents, minimize roadway congestion and open up new convenience functions like finding a parking space in a crowded parking lot. Like most concept cars, Audi has no plans to build the E-Tron as on a whole, say a competitor to the Tesla Roadster, though expect to see some of the technology and design cues show up in other vehicles. The parking system would be the hottest feature.

Audi, as part of the Volkswagen Group, wasn't always known for their sports cars. Most Audis are sleek, stylish and fast, but they never really stacked up against legitimate sports cars like models from Ferrari and Porsche. All of this changed in 2006 with Audi's introduction of the R8 V10 road car.

The R8 V10 road car wasn't exactly a new design idea by Audi. In fact, the R8 was nearly a decade old by the time Audi decided it should be produced for basic road ownership. There were two models of Audi R8 built in 1999 for the 24-hour Le Mans, the R8R and R8C. There was also the Audi R8 racecar built in 2000, and there's an Audi R8 Le Mans Concept 12-cylinder diesel in the works.

Audi announced its plans to transform the R8 into a V10 road car in 2005 and had planned on it being available by 2007. The idea was to create something unique and original while not completely abandoning the R8 concept that made Audi's racecars so successful. The production went to one of Audi's subsidiaries, quattro GmbH.

The end result of quattro's involvement was a mid-sized, 2-seater sports coupe with a longitudinally-mounted mid-engine and the patented permanent four-wheel drive system. The R8 is said to be very similar to the Gallardo from Lamborghini, and the V10 engine it uses certainly earns it a top slot in the high performance category.

There have since been other versions of the R8, including the R8 Spider and a V8 version of the automobile. The original R8 V10 by Audi was available in most locations around the globe by the end of 2008, and the car is still in production today.

The similarities found between the R8 V10 and the Lamborghini Gallardo models are present for a reason - Audi AG owns Lamborghini. So they decided to use some of the same parts and design features, including the chassis, floorpan, transmission and the large, powerful engine.

Audi's R8 V10 is also unique in many aspects. The body's aluminum-composite construction is a newer material that provides the ultimate strength with a lighter weight than most other carbon materials. There's also a thorough safety feature on board, called the Bosch ESP 8.0 Electronic Stability Programme. This includes ABS, distribution, regulation, differential and airbag features.

For most car enthusiasts, Audi's R8 is just another in a long line of sleek-looking sports cars without the powerhouse V10 engine. The V10 is basically the same engine used in the super-fast Lamborghini, only with a few improvements.

Audi's R8 V10 uses a 5.2 liter FSI internal combustion engine. It can reach a top speed (electronically controlled) of 200 MPH and can reach 60 MPH in only 3.9 seconds. The V10 produces 516 horsepower and, overall, the R8 costs around $146,000 USD.

Maruti Alto is a subcompact 5 door hatchback. It is an Indian version of the more widely recognized Suzuki Alto. Since its launch in 2000, Maruti Alto has set records by selling more than 2 million vehicles in a single fiscal year. Perhaps, its fame to top is a direct result of low price and high fuel efficiency. Interestingly, it is also one of those few vehicles whose price has dropped in recent years. Such price reductions are mainly attributed to lowering of sales duty and government incentives.

Models

The 800cc car is tailor-made for Indian market to accommodate their simple lifestyle. Its engine is able to generate enough power to attain top speed of 137km/h in just over 20 seconds. Noticeably, the most basic model does not have AC and cost little less than other upgraded variants, LX and LXi. In contrast, the most popular model LX includes a powerful AC and fabric leather seats whereas LXi comes equipped with power steering. The growing popularity of Maruti Alto is evident by its success in European markets. The VXi model is specifically produced to meet the growing needs of East European block where its 1061cc engine comes with 5 speed manual transmission.

Features

The second generation Maruti Alto is similar to Suzuki Alto and is based on Suzuki A-Star Concept global car. The new Maruti Alto is fully loaded with features such as power windows, central lock, ABS, rear wiper, fog lamps, CD player and airbags. It is also claimed as India's most fuel efficient cars which can cover 19.73 miles per liter. An intelligent drive assist power steering offers low turning radius making it easier to turn and park in congested space.

Safety

New advanced technology also includes booster assisted brakes for shorter braking distance and the revolutionary collapsible steering column for avoiding injury to drivers. These safety features are enhanced by iCATS security system. Standard safety features also include side-impact beams, tubeless tires, clear lens lamps and high mount stop lamp. Due to its low cost of maintenance and spare Maruti Alto is well set to make inroads in a fast growing middle class Indian economy which will need a vehicle like Maruti to match their lifestyle.

What kind of car do you drive? Certain manufacturers may not be around in a few months and unless you want your car to be a thing of the past, then you might want to get an Audi.

Audi is a German automaker which makes cars that include but are not limited to: the A4, the A6, and the RS. The name comes from the Latin word for Hark. The brand is symbolized by a logo that consists of four overlapping rings (similar to the Olympics but without the fifth ring). The logo is a representation of the merger of four automobile makers from the 1930s (Audi, Horch, DKW, and Wanderer). Together they formed something called Auto Union and the logo came about shortly after.

Today, Audi cars can be bought from dealers that are all over the world. The A4 and A6 are more accessible than the RS because the RS is higher-end vehicle (higher than the already high-end Audi S). The A4 and A6 are more compact Sedan-types and not as luxurious.

But, a simple history lesson is not enough to convince the savvy consumer that they should purchase an Audi auto. So what is? How about a rundown of the cars listed, starting with the A4.

The Audi A4
The A4 is classified as a compact executive car. This is fancy European jargon for a small luxury type vehicle. This car began production in 1994 and is currently still in production today. It comes in a sedan version or a wagon version and features front wheel drive or four wheel drive. The car can come equipped with a V8 engine as well.

The Audi A6
The A6 is the next step up from the A4. It is classified as an executive car, meaning it is larger than a family sized car would be. It also comes in both sedan and wagon version (saloon and estate types). It also began production in 1994 and features 4 or 5 doors, front wheel drive, and four wheel drive.

The 2005 model won an award for World Car of the Year.

The Audi RS
The RS is manufactured by a division called Audi AG. They are made specifically to be luxurious, enhanced sport vehicles. The higher powered cars come with all the features of other Audis, but also an additional convertible form.

And these RS types can look really cool, especially the higher tier ones. It is as if you are looking at a car you would see James Bond driving (and that pretty good considering he only drives the best).

But, that is just a brief overview of those particular cars. In order to get the full feel and information (specs too) one would have find their local Audi dealer and test drive a car. Afterwards you will actually want to answer me the next time I ask, What kind of car do you drive? Because you will be driving an Audi automobile. Cheers.

There have been many big players in the 7 seater cars section and there are already numerous cars in the market that fall in the category of 7 seater suv and 7 seater cars as such. In 2006 Audi decided to enter this arena with the launch of its first ever 7 seater car; the Audi Q7, which happens to be a crossover luxurious SUV during the Auto Show in Los Angeles and it is built on the famous Volkswagen Group PL71 platform. Presently the latest version of the Audi Q series happens to be the Audi Q5. Q5 was recently showcased in 2010. The SUVs are supposed to be importantly for the off road travels, but it seems based on the Audi's concept car, the Pikes Peak Quattro; Audi has designed the Q7 keeping in mind the on road features than the off road ones. Even though the Audi Q7 features the four wheel drive system coupled with the CDL (central differential lock), and the air suspension system whose height is adjustable, it is unable to compete the cars in the SUV segment which are manufactured mainly for the off-road purposes.

Safety Features Kept Safe

Audi has introduced a new level of safety in its Q7 car. Among all other 7 seater cars out there, it seems no other car is able to beat Audi's Q7 safety features. In America, NHTSA rated a total of 5 out of 5 for side and front impact tests in fourteen categories. And it has to be that way, because Audi Q7 features Electronic Stability Programme and variety of safety electronics combined with the numerous airbags to protect the passengers. Although in America this car received good ratings, in Europe, the NCAP rated 4 out of 5 for safety, and Audi claims that it was a design error which has been fixed in the later car releases. Many other tests have been conducted on Audi Q7 and the testers have found that Audi has implemented many innovative ways to protect the passengers sitting within.

Q7 Variants for North America

North America got a good set of Q7 variants to drive. The first one was the Audi Q7 hybrid which is basically a hybrid car that is built upon the Q7 and features an electric motor along with a 4.2 FSI engine; which is able to output a torque of more than 200Nm. This particular hybrid is powered by a battery of Nickel-Metal Hydride and this system pushes the car to an acceleration of 0 to 100 km per hour within 6.8 seconds. But this hybrid is comparatively heavier when compared to the petrol version of the Q7. Audi has actually announced that it would be rolling out even more hybrids but the number would be limited. As of now, Audi seems to be focussed on development of Q5 hybrids that will feature the Lithium-Ion battery.

Audi has epitomized German excellent engineering for years since its inception. Nonetheless, it was not till lately, in 2006, that Audi as a company began venturing into the American market. These compact automobiles have been previously confined to the European market only. The reasoning behind this was worry of disinterest among the American populace. This was partly fuelled by the fact that Americans did not present much enthusiasm in compact automobiles with high gas efficiency. Americans now have the chance to take pleasure in German engineering at its best. What with affordable price tag, excellent gas economy and luxurious cabins. The 2011 Audi A3 affords an ideal alternative to all of the gas guzzlers currently patronizing the roads.

The exterior and the interior in true Audi style are spruced up in a very tasty and stylish manner. They earn high marks, as their development is characteristic of all Audi fashions i.e. no spare in costs. Details have been tremendously considered. The Audi A3 convertible has the signature of the Audi brand accomplished in metal on the dash, which has all of the controls. It also boasts of the newest wireless Bluetooth technology and a high quality navigation system. This convertible edition is definitely a tad lower in value as in comparison with the elegant Audi lineup. This did not by any means compromise on the traditional roomy interior. The area although, might be a bit cramped. Nonetheless, it's no shock because the Audi A3 is a hatchback.

The Audi convertible A3 has a wide range of choices below its hood. In reality, things get fairly interesting. The 2.0 L is the preferred engine choice. This engine is a turbocharged diesel engine that spews out 140 HP. Nonetheless, there is the 2.0L gasoline or petrol powered engine with a 200HP output, which is primarily expected to be a favourite with the Americans. It comes with the choices of a front-wheel pull car which goes for rather less and the relatively new Audi all wheel drive/pull suspension. The front wheel drive Audi A3 comes in a six-speed non-auto transmission and an S-Tronic automatic transmission. The all wheel drive is simply available with an S-Tronic automatic transmission.

Naturally, the subsequent query would have something to do with the price. A brand new Audi A3 costs round about $30,000. That is with out extras like heated seats, high performance stereo system among others. That is justified for a splendid hatchback that boasts of 30MPG or thereabout. The alternative to this for those who think about it as slightly bit steep is to get a used Audi A3, which will of course need to have been from around 2006 or thereabout. It is because prior to 2006, the elegant Audi A3 did not exist. A used A3 will go for around $15,000, which is virtually half value of a brand new A3. Not a bad deal considering it should have clocked in excess of 35,000 to 40,000 miles. Go ahead, get your self an Audi A3, and join the 1000's of drivers who've come to understand German Engineering all through the years.

Purchasing a performance car is beneficial. Not only can the driver enjoy its rugged power and performance, he can also take advantage of its capacity and endurance. Some performance car aficionados describe it as getting the best of two worlds.

However, when it comes to driving the car on public roads, it may seem constricting. The fact is there is no safe way to open it up. Racers and drivers alike wanted to express their passion and to some extent outrage, to drive fast and enraged. Good thing there is now a place to race safely and legally - no worries about speedometer and odometer yelling your reading.

Earlier, Ford Racing Performance Group (FRPG) has ventured with the National Auto Sports Association (NASA) to create the much-concluded Ford Focus Spec racing class. Among the regions that participated in said racing class include Arizona, northern California, southern California, Mid-Atlantic, Northeast, Florida, Ohio-Indiana, Southeast, Midwest, Texas, and Rocky Mountain.

"The Focus Spec class is designed to showcase Focus performance parts and to provide an entry-level competitive racing environment that is affordable," said FRPG Focus Program Manager Andy Slankard. "I was the program manager on the 2002 SVT Focus. Since our first prototypes on the program, the racers on our team always wished we could have 20 SVT Foci on the track at the same time. Now that can happen. Focus is very fun and forgiving to drive at the limit."

For four years in a row, Focus won Car and Driver's 10 Best awards. The award is attributed to vehicle's world-class dynamics, sophisticated Ford Focus performance parts, and fun to drive nature. The automaker reported over 2 million Focus sales in the United States. From this number, plenty are used in racing competitions.

The mentioned class is open to all trim levels and model years of Ford Focus including the SVT Focus and 2.3-liter engine equipped vehicles. The race series of the car is designed to highlight the high-performance potential behind the Ford Focus platform. This is basically because car performance parts of the vehicle are modified when it is to be used for racing purposes. Performance parts include suspension, brakes, engine, tires and wheels.

Slankard also noted that Focus race cars are very durable and easy to drive at the limit. "The competition has been very close - fender to fender - and drivers with skill are prevailing. It will take a while to gain some traction, but the series is growing."

"We wanted to be involved in Focus motorsports at the racer's level, similar to what we had accomplished with the FR500C," said Jamie Allison, Ford Racing Performance Group manager. "NASA was able to provide us the ideal venue to showcase the inherent racing capability of the Focus and allow us to showcase performance parts offerings."

The Ford Focus is ready to race prices ranges from $6,000 to $10,000. Parts allowances and restrictions equalize the field based on different model combinations. After experiencing Focus, enthusiasts are now recommending it to get the best out of auto industries varied worlds.

These include "flyers" or Crackerbox, "runabout" the oldest in Inboard class, the rum running boats - Jersey Speed Skiff, Pro Stock Runabouts, National Modified and Super Stock. Power Boats, depending on the type and class, may reach speeds in excess of 170 Mph.

These racing events are held by the schedule of APBA, from March to November, with exciting names such as "Thunder On The Niagara", which is a racing event held in the county of Tonawanda, in New York, or even the "Annual Run for Records", which takes place in Yelm, Washington State. The APBA conducts over 200 authorised regattas every year in Canada and United States. The APBA is partnered in Canada by Canadian Boating Federation (CBF).

Interest in Power Boat Racing has been ever increasing over the years, with its popularity spreading into several circuits and Team Sponsored racing events. The other racing associations are the CBE, SOA, the Power Boat Association of Australia, Jersey Speed Skiffs and the Super Stock Association. Along with these clubs is the APBA which also directs the clubs, schedules and organizes events at various levels, classify or create the different classes. The APBA aims at providing the most visually spectacular event, with more thrills for the racers too.

Working with the APBA are numerous Power Boat racing clubs, associations, teams and, of course, the fans of Power Boat racing in the countries of United States, Canada and the rest of the World.

I often field questions regarding the various types of automotive paint available and what types are best. There's no one answer that covers every situation rather answers or suggestions that are dependent on each situation in a refinishing job. There are many factors that go into choosing which is the best type of paint for your needs but final appearance, ease of use, cost, and durability are the biggest factors most consider. If we focus on these considerations and walk you through the process hopefully we will have helped you make the right decision for your situation.

To Prime or Not to Prime?

The short answer to this question is always use the proper primer system whenever you can afford to do so. Most car owners are unaware of the process of finishing a car to a "class A" finish. The first step to ensuring a quality paint job that lasts is the proper selection and use of a primer. Primer is a broad category encompassing anti-corrosive primers which prevent metal surfaces from corroding, primer surfacers which fill small dings, dents and scratches, primer sealers which seal off undercoats in preparation for applying color coats, and adhesion primers whose primary function is to ensure adhesion to a particular surface. This may seem overwhelming to the beginner but bear in mind that not all of those types of primers are always required and many primer products will function in multiple roles. We'll give more detail on which primers are best in our next section. If you are on a really tight budget and your paint is in pretty good condition (no cracking, peeling, severe gloss loss, fading etc) then primer may not be necessary. However, you should check with the manufacturer of the paint brand you select to confirm they recommend use without a primer.

What kind of primer should I buy?

As we discussed in the previous section there are a lot of primer options available. Choosing the right primer is depends on the condition of your vehicle but we'll do our best to distill it down to a few of the best options. If you have any bare metal on your vehicle we strongly recommend a 2K (2 part) epoxy primer. Epoxy primer is the best for adhesion to metal and providing corrosion resistance. It's likely you don't have bare metal on your car to begin with but part of the refinishing process typically would involve sanding areas smooth and applying body filler as needed which will likely expose some bare metal. Often only a quart or two is needed to spot prime areas where bare metal is exposed. However, serious restoration projects often involve priming the entire vehicle with epoxy primer as added insurance for corrosion resistance and adhesion. On areas where there is a lot of small dings, scratches or body filler it's a good idea to use a 2K (two part) urethane primer surfacer. Urethane primers typically offer better filling and sanding than epoxy primer so a combination of epoxy primer for the adhesion and corrosion to metal followed by a good urethane primer for filling and sanding is the perfect "one two punch" for preparing your vehicle for painting. If your vehicle is in pretty good shape already, (meaning it doesn't have a lot of dings, scratches, flaking etc), a 2K urethane sealer is a great option for providing a good foundation for your color coats. Some paint manufacturers offer urethane sealer in a wide range of colors so you can match the color of your primer closer to the color of your final finish. Matching the color of your primer closer to the color of your final finish reduces the amount of color coats (usually the most expensive part) needed and when those inevitable stone chips or scratches happen they are less visible over a color keyed primer than over just a typical grey primer in most cases. For primer selection we generally recommend avoiding lacquer type primers, aerosol or spray bomb primers, and enamel primers due to potential issues with recoatability, and durability long term.

What kind of color coat should I use?

There are a lot of color coat options available to auto paint refinishers today with varying performance and costs. Knowing the durability, appearance performance, and general cost of these various types of product I would highly recommend either purchasing a 2K (2 part) urethane single stage topcoat or, preferentially, a urethane basecoat/clearcoat system. A urethane single stage is a product that provides both the color of your finish and the gloss sheen in one product while a basecoat/clearcoat system consists of a color layer (the basecoat) and an additional layer (called clearcoat) to provide the final gloss appearance. It may appear the urethane single stage is the obvious route because it requires only one product to achieve both gloss and color, however, despite the added cost and extra steps, a vast majority of all cars rolling off assembly lines today are painted with a basecoat/clearcoat process. Basecoat/Clearcoat offers enhanced metallic and pearlescent application and effect and generally last longer than single stage finishes. Early in the finish life cycle basecoat/clearcoat and single stage finishes may have similar appearance but as time goes on the basecoat/clearcoat finish will require less maintenance (ie waxing and detailing) to maintain the high gloss finish. Costs are higher for a base/clear system versus a single stage system but the overall service life improvements will reduce maintenance cost and likely preserve a greater resale value for your vehicle. Savvy shoppers are finding deals online for basecoar/clearcoat kits that are comparable or even less in cost than many single stage finishes.

In OOP (object oriented programming) it's important to remember why you are building an application with objects instead of mere functions (procedural programming). Sometimes programmers will treat objects more like functions which completely defeats the purpose of objects in the first place! The purpose of this post is to explore the real benefit of OOP and how to structure your models appropriately.

What is a decoupled object?

Contrary to the novice OOP programmer's belief, an object is much more than a collection of data members and related methods. It's important to remember that an object embodies data and methods that pertain only to itself. The term "decoupling" is used to identify the separation of software blocks that shouldn't depend on each other.

Why is it important to decouple objects?

Let's say that we have a Car Class with the methods driveForward(), stop(), turn(), honkHorn(), and changeLanes(). This object has a poor design because one of the methods, changeLanes(), might depend on a Street class. What if you were trying to reuse this class for a car that only drives off-road? In this case, the changeLanes() method is completely meaningless to your object instantiation. Furthermore, if the turn() method were to reference the changeLanes() method, the entire object would start to seem too specific to instantiate and work with an off-road car. In addition, if a change is made to the Street class, it's very likely that the Car class will also have to be modified. Since Car has a method that depends on another object, this object is said to be "coupled" (which is what we are trying to avoid).

How to decouple objects

To create what I call "purified objects", we need to completely decouple them in such a way that all of their fields and methods are specific to what the object can do in any circumstance. To decouple the Car class, you would want to move the changeLanes() method to another object that interacts with Car, like CityDriving. This new object acts as a mediator because it uses the Car class for special circumstances without tainting its pure definition.

When designing your object models, ask yourself "are these objects purified? Are they decoupled?" If you religiously ask yourself this question when creating new objects, not only will you end up creating much cleaner code, you'll also spend less time re-factoring. Good luck!

Racing cars is a very fun and enjoyable hobby, but unfortunately racing is not at all cheap. However for those who are looking to get in on some racing action with a limited budget there are plenty of racing series our there just for you. One way to go wheel to wheel and actually have a decent shot on a level playing field is spec class racing.

Spec racing is essentially where drivers race very similar cars (usually the same model) and are very limited to the amount of mods they can perform. These cars are usually fairly close to stock especially when it comes to engine mods, which for the beginner is good because when learning how to race having just enough horsepower is one of the best ways to be able to easily push a car to its limits and really learn some driving fundamentals. Not to mention the fact that heavily modded engines that can take a full days abuse at the track are going to cost a boat load of cash.

The reason Spec classes are so great for beginners is that the series themselves are designed to allow every one to be able to compete on a level playing field and focus on driver skill rather than who has the best parts budget. Although there is still often times some room for modification and those that are really in it to win it will take advantage of every area they are allowed.

One of my favorite spec. classes I have seen is the Pro7 and Spec7 series. These events feature wheel to wheel racing with 1st gen Mazda RX-7's which are not only fun to drive and easily available, they also happen to be quite cheap. When it comes to spec racing on a budget I can make the suggestion to look for a car that has already had some of the prep work done. Things like roll cages, racing seats, harnesses, and other safety mods are the necessary items that we do not want to compromise on but also tend to be some of the most expensive items on these cars.

Spec7 is not the only cheap spec class you will find out there in fact there are plenty that may even run strictly in your local region so get out there and look and have fun!
