Toyota Bringing Fine-T Fuel-Cell Hybrid Concept to New York Auto Show (#)

„all I have to say is hmmm... I know the car should never run out of power, and the control computer systems should never fail, and the programming should never have any evident bugs in it, but my real world experience makes me skeptical. (I have driven and stopped my car after the engine died doing 40 on a crowded street). The ultimate irony was that the guy who helped me push it out of the intersection said in awe "I wish I had one of these".“

Subaru (#)

„BMW, Audi, and Subaru have apparently been taking shots at each other overseas with some not-so-subtle jabs about their competition. Apparently, it all began when BMW "congratulated" Audi for winning the South African Car of the Year, "from the winner of the World Car of the Year 2006." Audi then responded with a boast about its six consecutive Le Mans victories. Later, Subaru decided send a message to both companies ...“

100 MPG Available Now! - Popular Mechanics (#)

„Why can't the world's car companies make a vehicle that gets 100 mpg? Automotive technology keeps improving and people keep asking the question, but--as with fusion reactors and comprehensible phone bills--the reality always seems to be just a few years away. Sure, student engineers have achieved 2000 mpg in design contests, but those vehicles have been exercises in automotive minimalism, not practical everyday cars.“

BMW unveils cool new concept car - AutoSpies Auto News (#)

2007 BMW 335i, 328i 3-Series Coupe revealed (#)

„I dont exactly love the look of the new e90 series BMWs, but I do think that BMW has "set the bar" for other manufacturers. With the new 3 series winning world car of the year 2006…its hard to argue that for the price, the e90 functions well and looks decent. It bothers me to hear BMWs referred to as inferior to Lexus or Mercedes…“
