Volkswagen Phaeton 2011

Volkswagen Phaeton flopped in the United States, arrived in the country in 2003 and resigned in 2006. Elsewhere Phaeton enough to get the update for 2011, although very small. New front and rear fascias reflect the VW new, slimmer design philosophy. Where the first bubble-inflated bubble, now bumpers sucked tight against ribs imaginary, although the basic design and proportions of the two ends remain almost identical to the previous. In front, the grille slightly widened, although the lamp to maintain their basic shape. Now, the stomach is only folded in a little more strict with them.

VW 2011 design

Technology gets equal billing on the map update, literally highlighted on the outside of the car with LED lights front and rear. Taillight consists entirely of LEDs, while the front remains bi-xenon lights, with LED serves as fog lamps and cornering lamps. Lights did not get a little adaptive technology, however, with VW Dynamic Light Helps automatically adjust the beam shape in response to other cars on the road. It can "see" and direct the traffic lights so VeeDub to maintain visibility without blinding the driver-VW VW says "dazzling," but we thought objectively dazzling other motorists always drive the company car driver.

But most new technology is found in the Phaeton, where sleek new Volkswagen navigation system is rooted, and optional 1000DynAudio-watt system promises ear-splitting volume. Volkswagen's other big news concerns the way the camera-new punctuation. Like similar systems from BMW and Mercedes, he read the signs past the speed limit and show information for negligent drivers. However, VW's new piece of walking steps beyond that of other German companies and also do not know the signs of passing. This, of course, brings us one step closer to automotive autonomous. In combination with the departure-prevention system such as the Infiniti line, that lightly apply the brakes on one side of the car to stay on track, no sign-through-recognition can lead to a car that not only allows the driver to make an illegal pass.

powertrain option on the Phaeton remains unchanged. The only diesel option is the 240-hp, 3.0-liter V-6, while the camp had a choice between the gas-powered 280-hp, 3.6-liter V-6, a 335-hp, 4.2-liter V-8, or 450 -hp, 6.0-liter W-12. Interestingly, the Phaeton did not see the updated, 500-hp, 6.3-liter W-12 from the new Audi A8. While updates include no mention of Phaeton returning to U.S., we've heard from several high-placed executives are being considered intelligent, perhaps after the next generation arrived in recent years. Meanwhile, the Phaeton will still be one of our favorite livery transportation overseas.

Spesification 2010 Acura RDX 2WD

Unsaddled by Acura's Super Handling All-Wheel Drive, the front-drive RDX is more fuel efficient, faster, and less expensive. It's not decontented, mind you: Standard goodies new for 2010 include a rearview camera, electronic compass, auto-headlights, ambient footwell lighting, USB-connectivity, and Bluetooth with audio capabilities.

RDX was no slouch even with the added drivetrain mass, likened it to the Evo of crossovers when we said goodbye. Acura's SH-AWD is impressive; through planetary gearsets and electromagnetic clutch packs, it's capable of overdriving the outside rear wheel to create yaw, which reduces understeer. The downside is the roughly 200 pounds it adds to the curb weight. Without it, the RDX's fuel economy rises 2 mpg, up to 19/24 mpg city/highway. It's livelier on its MacPherson front and multilink rear suspension too.

Opel Astra New Set Images

Did the papers have something significant to them about the car or do they just use them to block our view?

That is the head designer Marc van der Haegen Astra and Laszlo Kreth, technical coordinator at the new Astra project, doing the best strip tease to show the next generation model.

Opel will offer a version of the body's upcoming Astra several styles, including three-door hatch, which inspired the name of the GTC coupe, four-door sedan, wagon, coupe / convertible and, of course, the standard five-door hatch.

Opel designers and engineers believe quality execution also must be matched by what the customer sees and feels. Such perceptual quality is particularly important in the interior, where the appearance and tactile properties of all materials must be on a par with their high standard of fit and finish.

The quality of the materials used in the new Astra is evident in such things as the grained, soft-touch surfaces, the textured panels, the quality of the décor, the chrome trim elements, and the feel of operating buttons and switches.

Quality in execution, quality in the materials used and quality as perceived by the customer add up to the new Opel Astra’s upscale appearance. Together they deliver the sculptural artistry and German precision of Opel’s new design language.

Competitions in the SQ format are in turn divided into basic and advanced categories. A broader margin for potential competitors is provided by making divisions in each category and format on the basis of the auto’s power class. Besides the several power classes in the SPL format, the categories of the SQ format have two power classes: one up to 600 and the other over 600.

The Texas-based car audio organization dB Drag Racing was initiated by Wayne Harris in 1996. Wayne himself is regarded as a renowned car audio competitor and sound off legend. His dB Drag Racing show offers the exciting title of the loudest vehicle to the competitors of the car audio show.

New Jeep Commander Generation 2

2010 Jeep Commander largely unchanged. Medium SUV is basically a stretched version of the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Commander comes in Sport and Limited trims. The Jeep Commander is a niche vehicle for people who like to go off-road and need a lot of passenger room. However, reviewers say that the passengers you haul down the trail in the Commander won't be happy campers. While some high-tech interior features, like Chrysler's uConnect multimedia entertainment system are available, the Commander just isn't as comfortable as competitors. The Overland model has been discontinued. Each is available with rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. Low range gear for off-roading is a standard Limited, optional on Sport. All the Commander seat seven passengers.

New Jeep car

Sport has a 210-hp 3.7-liter V6 engine. Standard Limiteds and optional on the Sport is a 357-hp 5.7-liter Hemi V8 with Chrysler's Multi Displacement System cylinder deactivation. 305-hp 4.7-liter V8 has been discontinued. All engines team with 5-speed automatic transmission. The commander assessed to tow up to 3500 pounds with the V6 and 7400 pounds with the V8. Security features that are available include ABS, traction control, charging system, curtain side airbags, front and side airbags. DVD entertainment, navigation system, glass-camera and power adjustable pedals are among the choices. Also offered are Chrysler's Uconnect multimedia suite, which can include a wireless cell phone link, 30-GB hard drive to store digital music and image files, and navigation systems.

If you're looking for a comfortable SUV with plenty of seating space and towing capabilities, check out the Chevy Tahoe. Though it doesn't have the off-road chops of the Commander, some critics say it can handle the off-road terrain that most consumers will throw at them. If you just need people-moving ability and don't plan to go off-road or tow, check out the Chevrolet Traverse. It can seat as many as the Commander, costs a little less, is more comfortable to drive and gets better fuel economy. While it isn't as rugged as the Commander, if you can confine your driving to the pavement, it may be a better choice for you.

The 2010 Commander is largely a carryover from the 2009 model year, and is available in two trims: Sport and Limited. It's also available as a rear-wheel or four-wheel drive vehicle. If you're dead set on the Commander, check out this month's best Jeep Deals to see what discounts and incentives are available.

The Jeep Commander offers three different transfer case/driveline options for selection, depending on the model. The base is called Quadra-Trac I, which is a single speed (no reduction gearset for a “low” range) transfer case, incorporating a “power divider” to send power to the front driveshaft, and consequently, the front driving axle, only when slippage is encountered.

The second system, called Quadra-Trac II, is standard on the Commander Limited and optional on the Commander Sport and Rocky Mountain. This system contains an electronically controlled clutch pack that engages to transfer up to 100 percent of the available engine torque to the axle wit hthe most traction. This system also adds a Neutral and Low range selection for special situations.

The third and final system Jeep offers on the Commander is the most complex system, the Quadra-Drive II, standard on the Overland, but optional on all other models, in keeping with Jeep's “You Talk, We Listen” attitude. This system has the “brains” to deliver power only where it is usable, in a normal or low range, based on speed sensor inputs and distributed by Electronic Limited Slip Differentials (“ELSD” in Jeep speak) in both the front and rear axles as well as the transfer case. These three inputs allow the computer to constantly offer the power where it can be most safely utilized, by the tires with the most traction.

The tires on the Commander remain as Goodyear being the supplier, in sizes of P245/65R17 BSW all-terrain as standard, OWL as optional on all but the Overland models, where 245/65R18 BSW tires are standard. Jeep offers 2 different wheels, depending on the tires supplied. In the 17 inch diameter size, a 17” x 7.5” inch machined face aluminum wheel is utilized, and in the optional 18 inch size, an 18” x 7.5” Chrome clad aluminum wheel is supplied.

Trailer towing packages are optional on all models except the Overland, where the high end Trailer Towing Group IV is standard, in keeping with the nature of the fully equipped vehicle.

Jeep has announced enhancements to the 2008 Commander models, Overland and Limited, that include: No Charge MyGIG Infotainment System with integral Navigation system (a $900 value), Power Sunroof w/Command View dual skylights, available SIRIUS BackSeat TV, the SmartBeam headlamp system, which adjusts to ambient lighting conditions, illuminated (fade in and out) entry, and active “three blink-then-off” lane change turn signal position.

Your Car Amplifier Up and Running

First: make sure that you have disconnected the wiring from the negative battery terminal. This is vitally important because until you have done this interfering in any way with the electrics of your car is highly dangerous.



Second: purchase an amplifier kit from a car audio supply store. These should have all the wiring necessary for your installation. Check that the wiring is the correct gauge for the power of amp that you have bought (i.e. the RMS). Once you have this kit then you should have all the equipment you need, although you will still require a pair of wire cutters and wire strippers.

Third: decide where you are putting your amp in your car. Although it is tempting to show off your new equipment, the first rule of car security is to keep anything that might be stolen out of sight. It is for this reason that many people choose to put their amps in the car boot or under a seat - like the passenger seat. This keeps them out of sight but does not make wiring in your amplifier more difficult than it has to be.

Next: you should have a red 'live' wire and a black 'ground' wire. The red wire connects to the positive (+) side of the battery and should have a fuse (of an appropriate size for your amp) within 45 centimetres, or 18 inches, of the battery. This should then run through the firewall of your car, under the carpet, to the amplifier.

The black wire connects to the negative (-) terminal of the amp and needs to touch a piece of clean, bare metal on the car frame - i.e. metal that is not painted or rusty, a metal bolt or screw is a good place to connect to. This wire will also run under the carpet of the car away from the amplifier.

There should also be RCA cables that will connect the amp to the head unit of your stereo. To avoid mix up, keep these as far as possible from the power wires although keeping them under the carpet.

The next step is to link the amp to the main stereo using the blue wire. Connect this to the blue wire of your stereo system and you will be able to access your car amplifier from the head unit.

Finally, connect your amp to the car speakers, again keeping the wires as separate and distin

Hot Car Audio

Technology has made it possible to experience entire new levels of entertainment. Car audio has always been important to a large number of the population. However, it has continued to grow in popularity due to new changes and products on the market. There are so many car audio accessories to choose from that everyone will find something that appeals to them. Stereo equipment and speakers are among the most highly sought after audio components.

It is easy to use one by simply plugging into your computer and downloading. It is portable and docks in the car so that you can listen to it anywhere you go. These are hot items for the car because it enables drivers to listen to their own music without carrying a load of CDs.

Many vehicles now come from the dealership with satellite radio already installed but it can easily be installed at home. The kits can be purchased from such places as Wal-Mart and Best Buy. It comes with everything that you need to get started.

Speakers systems and various speaker accessories are always huge with most drivers. Factory systems simply are not all that great in comparison. Upgrading to new speakers is one of the best ways to improve sound, even if you do not go high end. Sub woofers are everyone's favorite. They add great bass sound to music of all kinds. Speakers are hot for car audio but they must be purchased with care. Do some information digging first so you know that you are getting the right product for you. Keep in mind that some speakers are designed for specific car models or shapes. Ask a professional for assistance if needed.

Always hold on to any receipts that you receive for any car audio or electronic equipment. If there is a defect you will need a receipt to get a refund or replacement. For high end items that are rather expensive, it is best to get all warranty information up front and keep it handy in case you need to refer to it. Car audio can be a lot of fun to investigate and use. Make sure that you are not distracted by it while driving though. Audio accessories are more enjoyable when used in a safe manner.

Jakarta - Lord of the premium car segment, Mercedes-Benz will continue to conduct penetration. Plans until the end of this year, Mercedes-Benz Indonesia, the holder of the German manufacturer's brand in Indonesia, will launch five new car until the end of 2010.

The five new models is the Mercedes-Benz M-Clas Grand Edition, Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG, Mercedes-Benz R-Class New Generation, New Generation Mercedes-Benz CL-Class, and smart.

For the first two names Mercedes-Benz M-Clas Grand Edition and Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG will be launched in September. While three other models New Generation Mercedes-Benz R-Class, Mercedes-Benz CL-Class New Generation, and the smart will trafficked in November.

President and CEO of PT Mercedes-Benz Indonesia, Rudi Borgenheimer, said the presence of cars Mercedes-Benz's new premium car is claimed to be graced homeland. "We believe these cars will be the target of the pecintanya," said Rudi.

Penetration was once intended to continue the dominance of Mercedes-Benz in Indonesia. During the month of July 2010 and Mercedes-Benz Indonesia managed to master the 68.5 percent market share with sales of 2229 units.

The biggest donations still come from New E-Class (1030 units), New C-Class (820 units), The New Generation S-Class (281 units), B-Class (48 units), M-Class (18 units), R-Class (16 units), and GL-Class (6 units).

New Nissan Qashqai

Crossover type of car this is the first of its kind, blending SUV styling and practicality with the size and handling of medium-sized hatchback. This may have been an innovator, but the public bought, many young families among them, devouring the new concept with an unexpected happy. Nissan has been struggling to meet demand ever since.

Three years and competitors are multiplying Qashqai. Nissan's rivals may not find a crossover, but they have busied themselves with improving the idea and the last 12 months have seen the introduction of a number of arguably superior car segment, including the Skoda Yeti and Peugeot 3008.

nissan new car

This mid-life facelift is the right time, but Nissan has done the work carefully to understand. The car may have just begun to show its age, but very popular, which means companies will not destroy the golden goose by introducing drastic changes.

So the latest model to get a new nose to replace the sharp end of front bore the original car, but it is in accordance with the DNA Qashqai. New hood and grille give the crossover a Hawkish gaze, but an important profile of the car remains unchanged.

Even less has been going on inside. Nissan has replaced the instrument and playing with some materials, but the interior will be familiar to trafficking in persons in older models.

The Qashqai is available in four trim levels, Visia, Acenta, Tekna and the n-TEC. All well-equipped enough, even the entry-level Visia receive air conditioning, Bluetooth connectivity and MP3, six airbags and Isofix baby seat anchors. The-n TEC is probably the go for though, when adding navigation satellites, spy cameras and a panoramic glass roof as desired.

Nissan claims to have filled an order for 11 000 new Qashqai shortly after it began taking deposits, and given the success of the original car we can believe that. They exchanged their old crossover parts are unlikely to be disappointed; the latest dramatic step forward Qashqai is not in any way, but with a little breathing a trendsetter Nissan has managed to polish it just enough to collect a few more years the desire.
