br /
So, this year The World Car of the Year (WCOTY) Award by 51 votes got the originator of Golf-class Volkswagen Golf VI of the latest edition. The runner-up from B-class Ford Fiesta and tiny Toyota iQ were also named the leaders in world market innovations. br /
br /
It is interesting to know that by now over 26 million of all Golfs are sold in over 120 countries. So it was a great present to a company that continued increasing its sales volumes in times its main competitors were forced to in contrast decrease them due to global automobile markets drop. Surely, Volkswagen engineers were extremely glad to produce the mass-oriented car that was named to be the best one. Debuted in 2008 Golf VI has turbo engine 1.4 TSI, fast and economic automatic gear DSG with double traction and multiple shifts rare suspension. Also Golf VI just got 5 stars on EuroNCAP crash-tests. And it seems Golf VI would help VW to beat GM and become the second world largest producer after Toyota Motor Corporation.br /
br /
As was predicted Fiat 500 got The World Car Design of the Year Award. This Italian car got its first trophy for previously it was awarded to Audi R8 (2008), Audi TT (2007) and Citroen C4 (2007). This year Fiat 500 raced over French Citroen C5 and English Jaguar XF. At the awarding ceremony it was noticed that original Fiat 500 (1957) is an idol in automobile industry and modern 500 model though attractive as the original one but meets all modern engineering standards.br /
br /
Supercar Nissan GT-R enlarged its titles collection as it was announced The World Sport Car of the Year. Equipped with 3.8 liters, 480 horse powers and 583 Nm torque V6 engine, special tires that allow showing all features of 4-wheel driven car and being accelerated to 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds Nissan GT-R easily beat Porsche 911 Carrera and Chevrolet Corvette Zr1.br /
br /
Honda FCX was named the most ecological car. This car with hydrogen cells left 22 competitors behind. The thing is that all the contenders to this title had to be available for sales in 2008 at least at one of the biggest world automobile markets and Honda FCX was being successfully sold in North America.br /
br /
Due to a complexity of certain “green” technologies the Award Commission appointed well-known experts to closely evaluate the specifications and characteristics of all contestants.

The Winter Tires – Find Out The Main Myths

ftauth1a — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 01:00:26 +0000

Goodyear: Myths and truths about the winter tiresbr /
br /
Myth #1: Winter tires are expensivebr /
In reality there’s no big price difference between the winter and the summer tires. At the same time the winter tires significantly increase the road safety and wear off less than the summer ones in low temperatures. Besides, new technologies allow your winter tires to increase their running and your car to reduce its fuel consumption.br /
br /
Myth #2: You don’t need winter tires if your roads are not covered with ice and snow all the timebr /
In fact, they increase the road safety in any weather conditions. Say, in raining season when the roads are slicky because of water the winter tires would allow you to have much better road traction. Various tests show that on wet road with temperature below 0C the winter tired car with the speed of 80 km/h when the brake is applied has to go about 70 meters to complete stop and the summer tired car has to go about 110 m. to it. br /
br /
Myth #3: Winter tires don’t look as “sexy” as summer ones.br /
Hey, the modern winter tires look about the same and ideally fit the design of modern cars. Besides there’s always a variety of aluminum disks for winter tires available.br /
br /
Myth #4: Winter tires harden the drivingbr /
In fact they provide the comfortable drive on any surface with low noise level even at high speeds. So, the most drivers don’t even notice the switch.br /
br /
Myth #5: Winter tires features are independent from the channels’ depthsbr /
Ok, with more channels’ depths the better features the tire shows on the winter road. And in most countries these depths are legally regulated. Regular tires have 1.6 mm wear off indicator, but as it’s recommended to have tires with wear off depths above 4 mm The Goodyear tires have this additional indicator.br /
br /
Myth #6: Winter tires don’t do good at high speedsbr /
Goodyear offers its clients the tires designed for the speeds up to 270 km/h having the special protectors’ design, optimized fuel consumption and low noise level. The speed limit is indicated on the tire sides by Latin letters, for instance:br /
Q – up to 160 km/hbr /
H – 210 km/hbr /
T – 190 km/hbr /
V – 240 km/hbr /
W – 270 km/hbr /
br /
Myth #7: Outlanders and 4×4 cars don’t need winter tiresbr /
In fact they do it even more for they are heavier and become more uncontrolled on slicky surface.br /
br /
Myth #8: The order of placement winter tires does not matterbr /
In fact, there are certain instructions to that. Use of different type and design winter tires (or mix of winter-summer tires) at the same time affects the “behavior” of your car on the road. Also, you should always put the tires with more depth protectors to rare axis regardless the type of your drive.br /
br /
Myth #9: Winter tires increase the fuel consumptionbr /
False, for their rolling resistance level is about the same and their special construction lets to reduce the resistance, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.br /
br /
Myth #10: New summer tires with deep protectors are suitable for any weatherbr /
See, the winter tires have special channels structure and protector design. So, they show the shorter braking pass on the snowy and icy roads.br /

A8 is supposed to appear in Ukraine by the end of 2010 year. Its price is not a point of negotiations but surely it won’t be less than Euro 100 000.

The List Of Disappointing Autos Of Past 10 Years

ftauth1a — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 02:16:11 +0000

The most disappointing cars of past 10 years

The Autocar bulletin presented the list of cars that for the past 10 years brought the biggest disappointment to their producers and potential customers in Great Britain. So, British people voted like that:

1. Renault Vel Satis which was supposed to be annually sold by 3500 pieces. They reached their high score in 2002 with 595 cars sales but in 10 years range only 1404 customers chose this one in Britain and finally the French side stopped the project.

2. Fiat Croma is another example of marketing faults dealing with big cars. Having plans to sell 5000-6000 Cromas annually Italians ended up with only 1386 cars sold (827 of them in 2006).

3. Peugeot 1007 is a small, fast but very expensive car. Its price leaded the ambitious plans of producers in 17000 annual sales to 8036 pieces being sold for several years.

4. Maybach 57/62 is the most ambitious project of Daimler AG. Unfortunately English lords prefer traditional Rolls-Royce and Bentley and since 2003 they purchased only 89 Maybachs.

5. Alfa Romeo Spider is a fancy car but since 2003 English consumers bought only 1616 of them (746 in 2007).

6. SEAT Toledo was not understood by British consumers who purchased only 3264 cars regardless to marketing plans to sell 2500 annually.

7. Opel Signum. Desired sales – 8000, real ones – 5501 annually totaling it 17 367 cars overall.

8. Dodge Avenger did not impress Europeans and in present only 1138 British men drive these sedans.

9. Jaguar X-Type. The company hoped the model to get the great market share but the dealers managed to sell just 120 930 pieces.

10. Fiat Stilo was hoped to be sold by thousands and thousands of pieces. Ok, in 2002 they managed to sell 15 166 Stilos then the sales started to drop totaling at present to 44 507 cars sold.

11. Mercedes-Benz R-class. The Germans’ attempt to create a new car class failed completely as they managed to sell in Great Britain just 3052 cars.

12. Subaru Tribeca. The Japanese design did not impress the Europeans. In 2007 only 277 Subarus were sold and total sales equaled to 746 pieces.

13. Nissan Primera is the rare example of Japanese miscalculations. They expected to annually sell up to 24 000 pieces but even in best for them 2002 they did not go over 13 511 record. It makes the total amount of 47 093 Primeras sold and it seems the unusual car design would continue to scare the potential customers off.

14. Peugeot 407 Coupe. Instead of 2500 the French were selling 1000 in best case. So, in past 5 years only 3173 cars were purchased.

15. Renault Avantime. This car had the same fate as its brother Vel Satis. According to marketing plans the dealers had to sell 1500 Avantimes annually. In fact – 448 cars for two years.

16. Smart Roadster/Smart Coupe. Annual sales plan – 7000 cars. The reality – 7449 cars for 6 years of sales history.
