Rapidly changing automotive repertoire with a variety of choices lean and efficient cars. Even today we’re in a transitional period with the presence of electric vehicle products in markets such as the Chevrolet Volt and Nissan Leaf.

Various improvements and a shift has continued and is currently Nissan issued a press release on this week to inform me that they were currently focusing its attention on the concept of health and comfort. The goal is to make every rider Nissan become safer and healthier than ever before.

In two or three years from now, Nissan cars can pump into the cabin of vitamin C that can be inhaled through the respiratory tract that can help keep skin moist.

Besides Air Conditioning systems tech climate control system can adjust the air filtration and has a Plasmacluster ion generator that is useful to improve the air quality inside the cabin.

Japanese carmaker is also developing features ‘easy chars’ that utilize the study space agency NASA to improve blood flow in the legs and back during long voyages.

Comfortable seat design a new form of Captain Seat which utilizes an integrated foot rest connected to the backrest cushion back with three layers to maintain passenger comfort over the long term.

German car manufacturer Mercedes-Benz divulge one of its flagship products that will be on display at the Paris Auto Show next fall (October 2010). At the exhibition will be displayed by Mercedes-Benz CLS, four 4-door sedan that will be marketed in the United States in mid-2011.

From the side view, the similarity MB CLS in 2012 was very strong with the first concept car shown at exhibitions in China, earlier this year. Only, the outline of the body, the pull of contour lines and more powerful at the door.

Including design and rounded fenders greater. Then, the front, the shape of a longer hood with a prominent grille. But the most striking, the main model with 71 LED lights far more than the concept.

In the interior, clear and legible instrument panel with the screen together in the middle. Interior fitted with wood and leather. Carbon fiber and piano black trim elements are also offered.

The new generation of MB is very popular and has been copied 170 000 pictures spread throughout the world.

Volkswagen has launched a multi-purpose vehicle Touran facelift. Now, principals Germans launched a new variant, CrossTouran, to complement another model that has already launched, namely CrossPolo and CrossGolf.

CrossTouran is a development of previous Touran compact MPV model. Changes only at the front and rear bumpers, all four wheels using 17-inch alloy wheels, high ground clearance over 20 millimeters, and an upgraded suspension capabilities.

In addition, this variant is also equipped with roof rack manufacturer based congenital aluminum, stainless-steel trim, power windows, front seat had been upgraded, and leather wrapping on the steering wheel and gear lever.

Currently, VW is still marketing the old Touran first launched last year and already assembled locally CKD alias.

Over price, with the tag of removable CrossTouran 35 490 U.S. dollar or USD 318.16 million for the European market.

As has been widely known, accessories, hid lights (High Intensity Discharge) or better known by the name of Xenon lamps can produce light with high intensity level. For the color brightness of the hid kit lamp is determined by the unit degrees Kelvin (K). While for the required ballast hid lights are a great tool to provide and control the lamp voltage as well as to stabilize the flow of electricity?

Current Type hid Lighting has been a lot of kind accessories hid headlamps of various brands / types with different quality, production and use even today not only for automobiles but also motorcycles can. Since many brands and different qualities that we must jelly in choosing hid lamps to be applied in a vehicle, especially for car users. The brightness color of hid lamps have many levels of information which is determined based on the unit degrees Kelvin (K) and each value has a light color in different lights. Here are a range of colors based on the level of degrees Kelvin (K)

Choosing the hid lamps to choose the hid headlights are really very easy. Which must be observed, if the lamp ballasts have been ascertained by using hid lamps. In addition, hid lamps to choose an appropriate functional factors should be more concerned with the usefulness of the new hid lamps fashion factor. hid lights can be famous for durable and usually when there is damage which is replaced only on a part that was damaged only so no need to replace all the components. But of course it must be checked in advance which parts were damaged.

Almost all modern car engines use a water cooling system to maintain warmer temperatures. So, the water into “blood” which channels the heat from generating sources to the final disposal.

The problem, no air bubbles seldom appear in the path of cooling water. Can disrupt the air entering the pressure in the system and ultimately disrupt the engine cooling water task. Greater risk because of overheated engines between component position in the cars are now more tightly.

Air can enter the radiator cap when opened and closed. That air exists between surface water and radiator cap. In addition, air may also exist because the radiator cap condition was not good.

At the radiator cap there is a functioning valve air flow from the reservoir tank when the heat and sucking water from the reservoir to the radiator (when cold).

How to expel the trapped air? Follow the steps below

1. Make sure the temperature of the engine in cold conditions.
2. Open the radiator cap. Turn on the machine (so the water circulates). After that, enter the water to the mouth of the radiator, and stop if it is full.
3. Cover again with a perfect radiator.
4. After that, unscrew the air dump. Waster closed position every different car brands. The location can be seen in the vehicle owner manuals.
5. Notice the water coming out of the valve. If there is scum, then it indicates there is still air in the cooling channels. That means you have to keep doing this process until that comes out is water without foam.
6. Check the amount of water in the tube resevoir reserves. If not, add up to the limit.

While not something new, a new automatic transmission became popular in recent years, especially if it were not for traffic jams increasing.

Transmit the car was more comfortable than the car automatically transmit the manual, but this device requires special attention because its technology is not as simple as a manual. Therefore there are several things that must be considered by its users, so that convenience provided by these transmission lasted.

Like other devices that require lubrication, automatic transmission also requires a change of lubricant. But you also must consider what type of automatic transmission as used on your car. Because today is also increasingly popular CVT transmission.

Therefore it is better you spend reading this guide vehicles (manual book) so that no one in the vehicle of your favorite treats. Each vehicle is sometimes different in determining the replacement lubricant. There is every 20-30 thousand km, but there is also an up to 40 thousand kilometers.

To be sure, in terms of altitude, the level of lubricant should always be maintained at sufficient condition. Excessive lubrication will make it hard while it is less able to cause serious damage.

If we look to the automatic transmission lever PRND will be shown a row of letters. When driving, the driver usually always play between the position of the D (drive) and N (neutral). When stopped for extended periods of more than 10 seconds, make it a habit to move the transmission lever to the position of N particularly at stop lights.

In addition to avoiding excessive wear on the transmission system, this method is very effective in reducing wear of brake components and simultaneously reducing engine weight edges can improve fuel efficiency.

Button overdrive (OD on / off) should be used only when you want to immediately precede the vehicle in front or along the road to climb. Let kept in top condition on that transmission can achieve the highest gear position. If not, then the transmission will ‘play’ a tooth below the top gear.

If your vehicle’s transmission system has additional facilities that can generally be characterized by looking at the code-3-2 PRND-L, you can use this advantage when the preceding vehicle or climbing like to operate a manual transmission. Suppose L is a first gear, second is second gear and beyond.

Because in this way can improve the performance of the automatic transmission, the number of producers instead complement them with additional automatic transmission manual mode as in-class luxury car Mercedes-Benz. Even many middle-class vehicles also began to use this feature.

Although only given the chance to try two days, the impression gained when it is behind the wheel of C300 and also sat in the back seat (as passengers) to say “Steady” Especially for classmates! From the dimensions, C300 Uncategorized compact, the same as the Toyota Corolla Altis or Honda Civic.

Nevertheless, in terms of price and class, this car is very different. C300 prices more than double the Altis, USD 709 million.

Among the family of C-Class, the C300 is the latest top. Configuration V6 engine with the power and capacity 3.000cc 170 kW (231PS). It was also strengthened by the presence of recent transmission of sophisticated and smart, 7G-Tronic, seven-acceleration. Two other C-Class, C200 and C250, using only the 1796 cc engine with 5-speed automatic transmission.

Interior
Sitting in the driver’s seat felt solid and comfortable. To set forth or the height and slope of the backrest, you can simply press the button inside the front door. Create leg room, good driver, and front passenger, were considered sufficient, so also for rear passengers. Comfortable!

The engine started by inserting the key into the slot at once remote steering column on the right. Speedometer and tachometers are made in large sizes and easily monitored. At the bottom of the circle there are indicators of the digital speedometer gear position.

In the cabin, smooth engine sound and vibration. The interior is solid and done in detail.

The parking brake pedal is used a certain model. It is located on the left leg. However, to release the parking brake job, you must pull the lever located on the right. Less practical!

Transmission
Transmission lever or gear shifting pattern has PRND manual button and (-) and (+). For the first time, the concentration needed to operate this gear shifting rod. In addition to the transmission rod, Mercedes-Benz also complete the manual gear shifting of the pedal on the right hand-left wheel. Convenient!

With the pedal arms, teeth can be moved more quickly, including the relatively low speed. This is very helpful in save fuel consumption, especially when you are in a jam.

Manually transfer took place on the basis of speed. For example, the shift gear from 2nd to 3rd place at 25 km / h, 3rd to 4th at 35 km / h, and the 4th to 5th at 50 km / h, so it goes. Even on the 7th gear when the car drove at a speed of 70-80 km / hr, 2000 rpm engine speed was smooth. If the engine rotation speed down and also down, the tooth moved automatically to a lower position.

After competing in the hybrid or hybrid technology, Honda and Toyota are now fighting again in technology and plug-in electric vehicles. The second largest car manufacturer in Japan that are both already play strategies and products will be marketed. Once again, in the field of environmentally friendly technologies, Toyota has always been a leader among manufacturers in the country. This includes for the marketing of environmentally friendly vehicle technologies and electric plug-ins. Production began in 2012. Honda Motor Co. (HMC), Tuesday (20/07/2010), such as the Nikkei news agency reported, will also produce a hybrid vehicle with batteries that can be charged at home. This is delivered directly by the President of HMC Takanobu Ito. Aside from the two types, there are other alternatives. However, Honda began producing in 2013. Honda Party divulge little about the hybrid plug-ins. They said the vehicle may be traveling a distance of 60 km or more with one liter of gasoline. This is much more efficient than a Toyota which only covered 38 km per liter. In this case, was denied because the Toyota hybrid Prius plug-ins can be used in racing as far as 57 km to a liter of fuel. Honda saw two flagship products as an alternative vehicle of the future. Japanese and American market remains a priority. In fact, it was possible that the U.S. became the first area of marketing as well as the introduction of these products. More precisely, Honda pointed to California in 2012. Considering Honda Insight hybrid will be produced and the two other models in the United States, which now is made in their factory in Suzuka. So, in 2013, Honda will sell five models hibirda car or even more. In fiscal year 2009, Toyota managed to sell the Prius in Japan as many as 270 000 units. The Honda Insight 100 000 dump. The number is still relatively small, namely only 10 percent of the total market share in the land of Sakura. The government tried to jack up be 20 to 30 percent.

A series of strikes at factories of Honda Motor in China have an impact on car sales in the Country of the Bamboo Curtain. Look at Honda’s sales in June last, which dropped about 2.4 percent over the previous year. Honda Party, said Honda sold just over 50 500 units in China.

It said car manufacturers, a strike that occurred in the plant components in the provinces of Guangdong, southern China, forcing the Honda for the occasional stop production at assembly plants. Problem was, he said, also affect the delay of delivery.

In particular, sales in Guangqi Honda Automobile Company, a significant decline of about 23.9 percent over the previous year. The situation contrasts with car sales in China which has become the world’s biggest car market for a new car.

Chinese Car Manufacturers Association, said new car sales rose 23.4 percent from year to year

The car was created not only to demonstrate excellence or strength body machine, but the car was also created as a beautiful art.

To create a list of the most beautiful car in the world, Forbes magazine asked a group of experts to judge and give his nomination. The jurors were asked to provide a list of cars in different eras and manufacturers that beauty is not indisputable.

In the list of the most beautiful cars in the world have Alfa Romeo output up to 1937 Porsche 911, which is still produced. All these cars have the appearance of an entire generation will be able to amaze.

From the results of the judging process, the car which was considered the most beautiful in the world and throughout history is the 1937 Alfa Romeo output. Even Rob Myers, founder of RM Auto, famous antique car auction houses in Canada, stating that the Alfa Romeo output in 1937 is one of the most beautiful thing in the world and throughout history.

Other vehicles from year 1937 are included in the list of most beautiful cars in the world are Delahaye 135MS Figoni et Falascgi and Mercedes-Benz 540K Special Roadster. While the output in 1938 was a year younger Talbot-Lago T-CSS.

Why are so many cars in the 1930s who get into this list? Motor vehicle production was reaching its highest point in terms of resources and enthusiasm in the period between World Wars (PD) I and World War II, which has brought production cars in that period to design and artistic levels are high.

Each model is updated at least every two years, and every year is produced with a different model from the previous year. Cars produced a serious work of art which has unique characteristics, unlike today, which is made from the model produced by another company.

Art Inspired by Ian Cameron, chief designer of the Rolls-Royce said that music is one of inspiration from the creation of a car. For the main designer of the Rolls-Royce 200EX this latest offering, creating a car can be likened to playing in a band. “You start with a session hours, and at some point be turned into a melody,” he said.

Design plays an important role in the entry of a Porsche 911 on the list this time the world’s most beautiful car. Although this model is not as attractive as other models in the list, but the fact that this model can survive during the last fifty years without any changes, which are indicators of the genius of its creator in the beginning years ago in 1960. This will be very difficult to expect from modern cars.

According to experts, the current car-makers did not bother to create designs that can have profound and high value to collectors. The lack of artistic beauty of the modern model is one result of financial difficulties experienced by the manufacturer of the world. According to experts, the cars produced today is nothing more than disposable diapers can be discarded. Pathetic is not it?
