Don?t Text While Driving
2007-05-10 08:54:00
There have been a lot of banned activities during driving. Of course, we are all aware that smoking while driving is now being prohibited to some states in the US. Using the mobile phone during driving is also one among the high rankers on the list. The latter activity actually is a part of using phones on the street. But it is not entirely locked into just using the phone. The most recently banned activity is sending SMS or texting. According to some officers, the use of SMS sending is far more dangerous that talking on the phone during a drive.Text ing while on the road is now banned in New Jersey. Anyone caught doing this prohibited activity will pay fines which could range from $100 to $250 as this was agreed by 20 co-sponsors of the different parties. Some other states are also considering similar legislations and this includes states like Arizona, Connecticut and Washington. Washington actually passed a bill since last December when an accident happened in the Seattle highway w...

Looks like Ford is in desperate need of success. Just like its fellow American car maker GM, who recently planned to have job cuts on its production plant in Antwerp, Ford will undergo job cuts as well. We all knew about the breakdown of the three previous large car makers of the world that now, it is quite clear that Toyota is dominating the scene. And now, Ford had to undergo another round of job cuts as a part of its Way Forward Plan.Ford?s Chief Executive Officer, Alan Mullaly, announced its plan to stop selling one of its best selling car brands (in its entire history) - Jaguar.

2007-04-25 08:46:00
We have been hunted by a lot of recalls this year and among all the car makers, the Honda Motor Corporation was, I guess, the highest ranking car maker to receive a lot of recalls this year. The year just ended its first quarter but Honda recalled more than five models that it manufactures and offers in the market. What happened was that most of the vehicles? Honda parts were the ones with problems and so the units were recalled as they malfunction and can cause accidents and fires. Of course, the NHTSA manages all the recalls.And on the latest news, both the Pontiac and the Buick are under investigation because of faulty car parts as well. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), almost 280,000 Buick Rendezvous plus Pontiac Aztek SUVs are possible to have leaks on its fuel tanks. The car models which have this problem are noted to be built between the years 2001 to 2004. There are more than 213 complaints were received by the agency because of the pr...

The Daihatsu Xenia

Daihatsu, well known for its smaller models which are also known as kei jidosha (or kei cars) in Japan, has set the mark in entering unfamiliar territory with their vehicle range. The Japanese automaker has produced China's best-selling passenger cars though the brand has lacked a presence of its own in the world's biggest auto market.Toyota has successfully crossed the threshold into China?s domestic market and it?s evident that its microcar specialist subsidiary, Daihatsu, would put on its grip on its territory. The right moment came at Auto Shanghai 2007, where Daihatsu introduced its Xenia minivan and along its auto body parts which will be produced at the FAW Jilin factory. FAW Jilin facility is set to bring forth a national network of dealerships and after-sales operations.Daihatsu is certainly making up for lost time. The Xenia is a seven-seat minivan churning its power with by 1.3- and 1.5-liter four-cylinder gas engines (which was originally available in ASEAN markets).Da...

Courageous Kids Drive A HUMMER Car
2007-04-20 04:35:00
We all knew how boring it is to stay in a hospital. Being a patient is not fun. Of course, who would enjoy being trapped in a sterile environment where having fun your own way is prohibited? Like kids, patients need to play, but in pediatric wards, they often have to face surgical and medical treatments that require them to do a complete bed rest which is kinda boring for them. And also these treatments can be scary and dreadful for them so I guess it is just better if the hospital adds up a little recreation for these kids to at least enjoy their stay at the hospital.This is the exact advocacy of the HUMMER brand when they decided to pursue the program they call Courageous Kids . The program is benefiting kids a lot and at the same time, it is also advertising their car brand name. It actually helps the young kids who are confined in a hospital by means of giving recreational activities to make their stay less intimidating. So instead of staying at their room staring at the lame whi...

Would Hybrids And Diesel Cars Reign The US Market?

There is nothing in the world that is permanent except for change. And this old adage surely does encompass every little thing in this world and the auto industry is no exception to this.According to a recent report that I learned about, the current seems to show that most consumers are looking for hybrid vehicles and those automobiles that come equipped with diesel cars. Although this study and report done by J.D. Power and Associates also do seem to tell us that the ordinary gas engines that we use in our vehicles are still on the top of the whole market share, the fact still remains that slowly and steadily, the hybrids and diesel engine equipped vehicles are owning up to a greater amount of share day by day.If you are interested in learning more about this report, you can try looking for the company?s article which comes with the title ?The Steady-But Slow-Rise of Hybrids and Diesel s in the U.S. Auto Mark et .?

We have been taught that we should change the oil of your vehicles for every 3000 miles that it runs. However, it seems like the times are indeed changing and 3000 miles seems to be too soon.According to the newsletter sent out by the AIADA, we should be changing the oil of our vehicles for every 12,000. The newsletter did even further mention that such has been a part of the Ford Motor Company?s new developments when it comes to the extension of the oil life of a vehicle. The company is even saying that if you think 12,000 may be too long, they are recommending at least 7,500 miles for each oil change. However, this is recommended for the car manufacturer?s 2007 models.Why is this such? The company did disclose that such has been because of the new standards that have been set when it comes to the quality of the oil. The new designs of engines are also part of the new standards for oil change.If you think that this may be still too conventional, you should think again for other car...

Suzuki introduces 3-Door diesel Grand Vitara
