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.

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 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.

Are they alike with the present cars?

Cars of the future are the answers for fantasies created by car junkies and manufacturers. Unknown to many is that future cars are solutions to some crisis nowadays. The increasing oil price along with the threat of spending all this oil are used as principle in creating future cars that can run even without oil or fuel. The issue regarding Global Warming and Ozone Depletion are also addressed through the concepts of eco-friendly cars. Thus, the advancement in Science and Technology are also made platform for creating future cars. Some of the future cars are: Moller SkyCar, Loremo, Tango T600, and TH!NK City.

Watch out for these cars. As of now, start researching along this field, to picture out what will the future highway looks like as these cars approach.

Year 2008 is nearly finished. The month of October is nearly to end. Thus, it is good to recall the adjudged “Car of the Year 2008”. To be the Car of the Year, a car must have proved and must have done much over the past 12 months. The title really brought prestige and recognition to the current car of the year.

This year, Jaguar got the prestigious recognition. Specifically, it is a Jaguar XF 2.7D V6 Luxury. How much does it costs? It is £ 33, 900. Being the car of the year, Jaguar has earned much recognition and triumph against its competitors? Audi, BMW, and Mercedes Benz. XF’s modern touch opened the door to get the said title. Plus, the entombed wood and leather created another push. Moreover, it has beats Jaguar’s lusciously, calmly, and sporty trademarks. It is much more than the trademark that it creates its own trademark. This is really Jaguar’s stunning creation!

Want to find out more of this car? Want to drive one? Then, buy one! If you can’t afford it, it’s up to you to find ways. Hurry while it’s still 2008! 2009 is another year that may bring lots of changes.

Modernization gave rise to different vehicle makes and models. In fact, there are lots of new vehicle-features today. There come the green cars, hybrid cars, air cars, hydrogen-fueled vehicle, and many more. However, not all vehicles provide satisfaction to the customers. In fact, Consumer Reports have already issued their list of ‘11 worst cars of 2008’. Thus, the dominant among the list of 260 vehicles and more are the SUVs created in the United States. Furthermore, the report is just a representation of magazine’s opinion. Said opinion was based from consumer reviews gathered. The intention is not to destroy the reputation of said vehicles included.

Included in the list of worst vehicles are stated as follows. The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, Hummer H3 five-cylinder have poor ride as well as handling. Plus, it costs much in view of fuel. Jeep Liberty Sport is included for the same reasons aforementioned. Poor acceleration is then related to the Chevrolet Aveo5. When it comes to braking, there comes the Dodge Nitro SLT. Toyotas included are FJ Cruiser and Yaris. Others are Suzuki Forenza, Jeep Patriot Limited, Chevrolet Trail Blazer LT, and Mercury Grand Marquis.

The implication is simple: not all vehicles are useful, safe, and make life easier. Rather, some are harmful and made life more difficult. 
Happy Halloween any way~~

Well, have you watch the Knight Rider yet, we know that the super car kitt can talk and have highly intelligence. But how much you know the story below? Let’s go and see.

Car manufacturers are always on their ways to come up something new in order to attract car buyers. This trend is also being practiced by General Motors(GM). This leading car manufacturer is establishing its car-to-car communication. However, several car producers have already developed the technologies such as Ford, Nissan and Volvo. But the difference of the car-to-car communication of GM is that it can communicate to other cars that are independent of model and manufacturer. In order for this to be successful, this initiative of GM will require great participation of car producers and governments as well. With this new technology from GM, it may have the possibility to create a world where actual driving is no longer necessary.

The car-to-car communication hardware system will consist of a microprocessor, GPS receiver and wireless LAN to establish communication between vehicles even if they are hundreds of meters apart. The system works by providing warnings to either by a warning sound or through small LCD screen. There will be and exchange of information between cars and some points. The information will include the location, speed and the presence of other vehicles. Drivers can be warned if another vehicle stopped in an area that has zero visibility or in an intersection nearby.
