Ford at NAIAS 2007
2007-01-11 09:14:00
While acknowledging the serious problems facing his company, Ford Motor Co. Chairman Bill Ford insisted that with the right people and the right products, the troubled automaker will prove surprisingly resilient.During an opening-day preview, at the Detroit Auto Show, of its latest cars, trucks and concepts, Ford officials took pains to present a vision of where Ford hopes to go, drawing on the help of Microsoft CEO Bill Gates, whose company is launching a new technology partnership with the Detroit automaker.Among the most widely-anticipated debuts was the Ford Interceptor, a hot rod-like four-door that global design czar J Mays dubbed "a modern American muscle sedan. The 400-horsepower Interceptor, he broadly hinted, "will probably influence production Fords down the road." Company insiders say the angular look will very clearly reappear as the carmaker struggles to reverse its image of building bland products.One of the most frequently-derided models, the Five Hundred sedan, debu...

Is Buying A Used Car A Smart Move Or A Dumb Mistake
2007-01-04 15:42:00
Buying a used vehicle can be a very smart move, actually one of the smartest moves you can make in regards to buying a car. However, it is often one of the dumbest mistakes for many people. Why is this? The main reason is because people don’t realize that shopping for a used vehicle is totally different from shopping for a new one. You will still have to negotiate for a good deal, and still have to be careful who you buy from just like with buying a new car but price and seller are not what trips people up. It is not being able to the difference between quality and junk.The major factor when looking at used cars is being able to discern the condition of the vehicle. If it is in good condition mechanically then its value is higher than that of a cheaper vehicle. If it comes through with flying colors on an in depth mechanical inspection then the car will be fine even if you bought from an individual advertising in the newspaper and could be a better vehicle than the one sold by y...

Why You Should Never Use Wax On Your Car
2006-12-18 19:44:00
I am going to make a statement that is probably going to shock the car care world. You should never wax your car. Pay attention, wax is for candles and candles only! Wax is designed to melt and melted wax just traps dirt and other contaminates and holds them next to your car's finish. If someone or something brushes against it you now have tiny scratches all over. This is by far not my only reason for not using wax on cars, read on.Since January of 2005 when the United States and other governments announced a mandatory reduction in the use of volatile organic compounds or VOCs in manufacturing processes and consumable products there has been a move to look for other products and methods for protecting a car's finish. Car care products may not be comprised of more than 15% VOC. This is seriously bad news for manufacturers that have built there businesses around Carnauba wax which by its very nature must use large amounts of solvents to make the naturally hard Carnauba soft and plia...

Buying Guides To Buy A Used Car
2006-12-16 18:54:00
Automobile is a wheeled passenger vehicle that carries its own motor. Most definitions of the term specify that automobiles are designed to run primarily on roads, to have seating for one to six people, typically have four wheels and be constructed principally for the transport of people rather than goods. However, the term is far from precise.A pre-owned vehicle, also known as a used car, is a vehicle that has previously had one or more owners. Used cars are sold through a variety of outlets, which include franchise and independent dealers, rental car companies, leasing companies, and used car superstores. Some car retailers offer "no-haggle prices," and "certified" used cars, and extended service plans or warranties. Individuals can also sell and purchase used cars through resources, such as newspaper classifiedsWhy a Used Car?For many people, owning a reliable car is a necessity, not a luxury. Buying a new car, however, is not always an option. New cars can be prohibitively expen...

How Changing Your Tire Size Could Be Dangerous
2006-12-16 18:50:00
When it comes time to replace your vehicle’s tires, tire size is very important. If you ever switch to a different sized tire, you could damage your vehicle. Before switching tire sizes, do some research to ensure that it can be done safely. Most drivers will not need to change their vehicle’s tire size. Stock tire size is what your vehicle was designed to use. These are some vehicle components affected by changing a tire size:•Both the speedometer and odometer are calibrated based on the height of your tires. Taller tires would make the speedometer read slower than actual speed. Shorter tires would show a higher speedometer reading.•Newer vehicles have internal computers that base calculations on the tire’s height. Components, such as Anti-lock Braking Systems, could fail with a different tire size. •Stock suspension could have additional stress with a taller tire, resulting in faster wear and/or failure. For substantial increases in tire height, you should upgrade from...

A SLEEK FUEL-CELL CAR: Honda's next-generation model is close to production
2006-12-15 16:24:00
SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Talk about hydrogen as the future of transportation sounds a little funny to Jon Spallino. After all, he and his California family have been driving a Honda FCX fuel-cell car for more than a year now.Spallino and 20 auto journalists were invited to test the next-generation FCX Concept on Nov. 14 at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca near Monterey, Calif. It was the first time the car was driven by Honda outsiders on U.S. soil."It really is fantastic," Spallino said. "Look at the difference." Compared with the new FCX, "I'm driving a brick or a toaster right now," he said.Visually, the difference is stunning. Spallino's car -- his family of four was chosen to lease a fuel-cell car for $500 a month by Honda -- resembles a sneaker. Despite its technology, its silhouette confirms the clunky stereotype of alternative-fuel cars.The new FCX Concept is sleek and aerodynamic. It has a cab-forward design used to great success by Chrysler on cars like the Intrepid in the '90s. An...

Design Of Modern Cars
2006-12-14 17:08:00
The design of modern cars is typically handled by a large team of designers and engineers from many different disciplines. As part of the product development effort the team of designers will work closely with teams of design engineers responsible for all aspects of the vehicle. These engineering teams include: chassis, body and trim, powertrain, electrical and production. The design team under the leadership of the design director will typically comprise of an exterior designer, an interior designer (usually referred to as stylists) and a color and materials designer. A few other designers will be involved in detail design of both exterior and interior. For example, a designer might be tasked with designing the rear light clusters or the steering wheel. The color and materials designer will work closely with the exterior and interior designers in developing exterior color paints, interior colors, fabrics, leathers, carpet, wood trim and so on.In 1924 the American national automobil...
