2009 Seat Exeo Weekly Review

Since Seat has committed to growing its sales volumes across Europe, and needs a model in the upper Mid segment. It may be a market in decline, but it is still the third largest market sector and accounts for 17% of sales.

As it needed a challenger toute suite, it simply borrowed the old A4 production line, shipped it from Ingolstadt to Martorell, and began production. Of course, having ex-Audi top man Eric Schmitt as the new Seat president helps. And as Seat wants a quality offering, going to the acknowledged leaders in terms of build quality makes this decision something of a no-brainer.
The familiar solid ride quality is there, trying to find a trade off between comfort and secure handling. Like the Audi, the 2009 Seat Exeo veers towards stiffness (and veers towards uncomfortable in Sport specification with 18-inch wheels and revised suspension), but the new Servo-tronic power steering is a welcome addition, adding plenty of weight into the rack to give more precision.

When it goes on sale in the UK, there will be three engine options for 2009 Seat Exeo – 2.0-litre TDI diesels with 143 and 170bhp (both the new common rail units) and a 200 bhp 2.0 litre TSI petrol unit borrowed from the Golf GTI.

Only 170bhp diesel was available to drive on Seat Exeo, accessing power from right down at the bottom of the rev range and surging you forward with ease. It’s a little bit gruff at start-up, but on the move settles down into a muted accompaniment.

Cars that are Not Cars

Technology is changing rapidly. The best invention during the 90’s may not be the best now. This only proves that modernization is approaching. In fact, there are lots of inventions and discoveries that will or are now changing man’s lifestyle. Among these discoveries and inventions are the so-called nanocars. Although its name has a ‘car’, it doesn’t mean that it is really a car. So what is it?

Nanocars are called that way due to its movement reflecting that of vehicles. They are actually complex molecules that are wheel-rolled. Such rolling is steered by electrical fields and any other driving forces. Nanocars can drive along thin films of gold, while nanotrucks are able to carry payloads. However, nanotrains are molecular box cars. They come into realization for 8 long years of hard work and engineering. What’s exciting is they are only few nanometers long. Imagine how thin are they? Thinner than human DNA! Their main role is to act as tools for chemical reactions for future use (building microprocessors for example).

Nanocars behave like a car. Plans were made to utilize them for real cars. Have you imagine how scientists, engineers, inventors, and the likes will do that? Think of it!

Past vs. Future

Past was past; mind the future. Change is inevitable and time passes quickly that you have no single chance to turn it back. Past was history and almost all knew it. But, who knows what will happen in the future? Some pictures were given by several sources. In fact, in the automotive arena, there are future cars to come. What are these cars?
