„For example, we actually rode in both the second row and the way-back seats, where even an adult has room. The car's interior spaciousness is enhanced because the second-row seats slide fore-and-aft as much as six inches, and the third-row seems even less claustrophobic roomier when you order the optional panoramic sunroof with its 5-foot, 7-inches of glass overhead.“

Volkswagen : The 1 Liter Car (#)

„The interior with its uncluttered, sporty design has plenty of room for two people who, once the turret-like glass roof (made of polycarbonate with integrated sun protection) has been raised, can enter conveniently. The seats too are examples of extremely lightweight construction. Their frames are in magnesium, and instead of classic upholstery the seats have firm yet comfortable fabric covers (M-flex).“

TCC Tip: Replacing Wiper Blades - The Car Connection (#)

„Some aftermarket brands will falsely say that their refills (the rubber only) are interchangeable with any blades of the same length. If you're unsure of the exact brand and model of the wiper blades installed on your car, if the blades themselves look old and rusty, or if the rubber doesn't appear to be contacting the glass evenly, it's best to just go ahead and buy new blades ...“

„Seen from the side, the new MINI is firm, taut and striking, resting powerfully on its wheels in a look well-known to friends and aficionados of the brand as that typical stance on the wheels?. A characteristic feature is the seemingly uninterrupted flow? of windows around the car, adorning the new MINI like a complete, 360° band of glass.“

Dream Come True - AutoWeek (#)

„Of course the acceleration is high, but the brakes are so good. When I first drove the car when I used the brakes my glasses came forward and hit the inside of the helmet visor. I had to tape the glasses to keep them from sliding off of my head. The g-forces are so high, you have to belt yourself in so tight.“

Paris Motor Show: Ford iosis X - pics and info - Autoblog (#)

Green Car Congress: Solar-Power-Augmented Prius Takes the Grid Out of Plug-in (#)

„The same capacity in Li-Mn would weigh ~40 lbs. 700Wp of conventional, glass face, aluminum frame PV would fit on the car and weigh ~ 160 lbs. Aerodynamics and weight would be inconsequential at typical US/Canada speeds. Plug in Hybrids with grid interactive inverters might be more practical with widespread PV.“

Second look: Ferrari P 4/5 by Pininfarina (#)

„Except for the windscreen which is glass the greenhouse is polycarbonate which cannot be photo voltaic. The entire greenhouse is ultra VU filtered and the AC is entirely redone and enhanced via "ram air" ducts in the nose and on a VERY hot day in BRIGHT sun the cabin stays very cool without glare.“

2007 Saleen/Parnelli Jones Limited Edition Mustang - AutoWeek (#)

„Those memorable things come in cues both subtle and obvious from front to rear on the car, including, Saleen said, “…the stylized headlights with that ’70s slant, the chrome detail that was so popular at the time, the sports slats on the rear glass, the wing, and the big number 15 on the side.”“

Paris Motor Show: Suzuki Splash concept - Autoblog (#)

„The interior is no small shakes either. The car is tall and the roof is glass, making it seem huge considering its small size. The floating look is evident in the instrument panel as well, where the gauges sit, bubble-like. Blue leather trim finishes off the look.“

Living with a Smart Car - AutoWeek (#)

„The main criticism I have is that the A/C is marginal in hot weather. The car has a huge glass area and the greenhouse effect is strong. The base radio in my car is about the worst I have ever had, so I would recommend the upgrade.“
