Automakers Reluctant to Use HD Radio
2007-04-28 10:55:00
HD Radio has so far been unsuccessful with its plight for providing car manufacturers communication devices. It did not win over automaker clients. And the reason? It?s much too costly. Among those who considered hooking up with the HD Radio are Hyundai, BMW and Jaguar. GM and Chrysler bigwigs claimed that they were not rushing to commit to the devices which would cost the struggling Big Three U.S. automakers as much as an estimated $600 million annually to install. It?s pretty sturdy price that some automakers aren?t willing to compromise. The radios are approximated to reap in $150 million to $200 million annually to each of the three automakers. That said, HD affirms to distribute better sound quality than conventional analog radio and facilitates stations to transmit multiple channels. More than a tenth of the estimated 12,000-plus U.S. radio stations have upgraded to the technology which comprises of many in the country?s top 100 markets. "I don't think there are too many Amer...

Think two 10.2-inch monitors fitted on the backs of the front seats, plus a DVD player integrated in the centre armrest which also happens to have connections to a games console, your iPod and your digital camera. That?s not all. Together with the TV tuner, the system transforms the luxury-class saloon into a what else, a mobile film theatre, from which sound can be relayed via either the on-board speakers or headphones. Now how fun is that? The system is available in the A6L, the long-wheelbase version of the Audi A6. But sorry folks, because this one?...

An Off Beamed Lamborghini Alar 777

The supposed car concept of the Lamb orghini Alar 777 from the Italian supercar maker?s Argentina distributor is unleashed. Critics and auto analysts have been repressing its guffaw since the styling elements of the Alar 777 exterior parts have gone wide of the mark. One look at the Lamborghini Alar 777 and it expresses an awe of surprise, and somewhat disdain. Whether its horribly pimped, a fuzzy view on targeting individualists will not get the Alar 777 from point A to Z. The local press in Argentina has ensured the public that the local Lamborghini distributor has indeed launched its own specially tailored kit car of sorts. The Lamborghini Alar 777 is a rebodied version of the already out-of-date Diablo. The Alar was styled by Joan Ferci whose previous Diablo-based creations involve the Coatl and the Eros GT-1. Under the odd surface style comes the Diablo V12 engine which churns out 700 horses. Ferci claims the Alar blasts off its top acceleration rating 223 miles per hour. Lambor...

Well, anyway, I was looking for a Chrysler part for my old Dodge car when I suddenly found this piece of interesting news. The DMX will soon stop the production of its non-profitable Chrysler Crossfire. According to the domestic car company, the production of the sport coupe was only an attempt. It was not making good profits, so the domestic car maker decided to end its production this summer and this is according to AutoTelegraaf. Slow sales and the five year contract with Karmann will soon be over as well. The sport coupe was based on its Mercedes SLK which was a hardtop convertible that continued its production ever since it was introduced. But the SRT-6 productions have been stopped a year now. However, ending the production of the sporty coupe will surely leave a vacant space for the domestic car maker. But I guess they should focus more on...
