Krebs thinks the brand's going to be doing something pretty amazing for the General -- something they've been unable to do so far with any of their other badges, and something Saturn was supposed to be doing from the beginning -- conquest sales of foreign automakers ...“

China’s Private Auto Fleet Climbs to 29.25 Million (#)

„I don't like getting 14.5 MPG, but since we own a boat and jet ski that we greatly enjoy taking to the lake with our 3 children, and we don't live in an area that gets snow plowed, I have no choice. I'm elated that the two-motor SUVs are coming out, but I'm pissed that it has taken the geniuses who run the auto companies so long to figure out that this is what consumers want and need - TODAY, not in two more years ...“

EEStor Announces Two Key Production Milestones; 15 kWh EESU on Track for 2007 (#)

„The claimed 52kwh capacity of the the EEstor device having 31 farads is due to the 3,500 V maximum voltage rating. However, automotive power inverters and power transformers are typically designed to handle battery voltages from 250-500 volts. Since Energy Stored = 1/2 Capacitance x VoltageSquared, reducing the 3,500V down to a more reasonable 500V will reduce the storage capacity of the EEstor from 52kwh down to 1kwh.“

Winding Road (#)

„Here™s some footage from a rather bizarre Japanese automobile television show that features a bubble-blowing Bimmer owner who swapped the engine in his 318 for a Honda F20C (the same engine found in the S2000).Language barrier aside, the video is worth watching for its forest road footage, provided you can get your arms ears around hearing the high-revving VTEC emanating from beneath that Bavarian bodywork.“

Nissan Altima Hybrid Debuts at Orange County Auto Show (#)

„Fr most people, this is the strongest argument for buying a hybrid. If the typical consumer can see a vehicle that will give him/her near V6 performance AND be better for the environment AND reduce our dependence on foreign oil, only then can hybrids become more economically viable for auto execs to fund and produce.“

China’s Private Auto Fleet Climbs to 29.25 Million (#)

„Mmmm, a link with lots of smoke and a couple of mirrors from "leftlanenews" claiming a hybrid consumes more energy than a hummer. The auto industry moves slow because it's expensive to rethink & retool. That's how you can skew hybrids more expensive. Never mind green house gases/sustainable mobility.“
