Global market sentiments together with continued buying by foreign institutional investors led domestic markets to pose one of the best six consecutive weekly gains after almost a year. The fact behind such a move is that market participants are gaining a lot of confidence & believe that the domestic economic activity is getting stronger & stronger over the period.
.
Encouraging advance tax payments for the Q4 March 2010 also assured the market participants for better than expected corporates profit. As expected Standard & Poor’s (S&P), the credit rating agency revised India’s outlook to ’stable’ from ‘negative’ with the government’s pledge to reduce fiscal deficit over the next three years in the budget.
.
The move complemented overall sentiments of the market post the S&P upgrade as some foreign investors who were restricted from investing in countries below a certain degree of credit worthiness would now come to the market. On the expected lines of monetary tightening, RBI surprised the markets on the last day of trading by increasing both policy rates by 25 bps, a month before its quarterly meeting scheduled in April.
.
In the light of sustained pickup in economic activity & headline inflation passing through the baseline projection of 8.5 for end-March 2010 has induced RBI to come up with such stronger action. Moreover, non-food manufacturing products that constitutes 52.2 per cent weight in WPI has seen sustained rise from negative (-0.4 per cent) in November 2009 to 4.3 per cent in February 2010.
.
Increasing capacity utilisation and rising commodity and energy prices are exerting pressure on overall inflation. The small hike of 25 bps in policy rates is considered only as a signal & if needed, RBI may come out with more of such steps in case of sustained inflationary conditions in the economy. In the coming week, interest rate sensitive like, Auto & Real estate stocks may see some pressure on the expectation of dearer loans in the future.
.
Overall trend of world markets is still up but the rise in dollar index every now and then gives some fear to the rally in commodities. Dollar index, which is at current levels of 80.75, if closes above its key resistance level of 81, can give jitters to various commodities and stock markets so one should take care. Nifty has support between 5150-5050 levels and Sensex between 17200-16800 levels.
.
Range trading from last few weeks has kept investors in a fix. Ambiguity over the next move is refraining investors to take large positions in commodities. Currency has become crucial here. Greece concern is capping the upside of euro and dollar index is not breaking its range.
.
Furthermore, there is no as such big fundamental news which can give a clear cut direction to commodities. Some supply disruption in copper and nickel can support the prices at higher side. Hence, cautious trading is advised for investors.
.
Even in agro commodities, arrival pressure in many commodities is limiting the upside despite the steady demand. Once arrivals get clear, bottom formation is expected in many agro commodities.
Uite ca Dacia a găsit o soluţie de evitare a situaţiei din titlu şi a lansat Duster cu PROST, Alain PROST . O mare onoare pentru o mare realizare. În plus ca să fie în ton cu vremurile actuale, cand totul în jurul nostru este praf, la propriu, Duster face imagine discordantă şi cu siguranţă va trece cu uşurinţă atât prin praful economic cat mai ales prin praful drumurilor de ţară Românească.
Bravo Dacia, Bravo Duster
De ce ?
1. Dimensiuni de maşină mică de clasa B
2. Greutate redusă. Este realmente zveltă. Cel mai nesuferit lucru este să încerci să conduci o balenă. Incercaţi şi o să vă convingeţi.
3. Motoare cu cilindree mică şi putere mare. Benzina de 1,6 l cu 106 CP iar dieselele 1,5 l de 85CP şi 110 CP. Raportul Kg/CP este aproximativ 11,5. Pentru o comparaţie cupeul lui Honda, S2000 are 5,2 Kg/CP şi este o maşină absolut extraordinară, iar în clasa SUV voi enumera VW Tiguan 11,1 Kg/CP, Ford KUGA 11,9Kg/CP, KIA Sportage 10,8 Kg/CP, Suzuki Vitara 12,2 Kg/CP, Land Rover Freelander 11,8 Kg/CP. Avantaj Duster !! Datorită cilindreei mult mai mici decât la concurenţi, impozitul şi taxele de asigurare sunt cam la jumătate din cele ale concurenţei.
4. Consumul declarat în oraş este chiar de mare tupeu: 6,5 l/100km. Extraurban cifrele stau invers – 5,6 l/100 km.
5. Cel mai ieftin concurent al Daciei Duster este un Kia Sportage şi costă 21.000 €. Avantaj Duster. Cel mai scump este 15.600 €. Adică o diferenţă de minimum 5.400 €. O economie cu care poţi să-ţi mai cumperi încă un Logan „chel” sau chiar sa-ţi faci o vacanţă de neuitat aproape oriunde în lume.
6. Interiorul este de Logan. Dar … surpriză ! Nu mai este atât de auster cum ne-am obişnuit. Tinde chiar să aibă mici „fitze”. Dar din cele utile. Spaţii de depozitare peste tot, tot felul de senzori şi martori inexistenţi pe Logan (ex. Martori de airbag pasager dezactivat sau centură pasager necuplată), volan îmbrăcat în piele, chiar şi tapiţerie din piele, bancheta spate fracţionabilă, geamuri electrice, aer condiţionat, ornamente elegante şi altele.
7. 4×4 Nissan. Îl găsim pe Qashquai şi Xtrail. Echipamente bune care nu au generat probleme de foarte multă vreme.
8. Aspectul exterior este elegant-sportiv si asta nu-i „de colea”.
9. Confort optim. Îmi amintesc de vechiul model de Freelander în care trebuia să mă fac mic ca să stau comod. În Duster stau chiar OK.
10. Portbagaj mărişor şi suficient pentru: frigider, televizor, canapea, varză, cartofi, porci, oi, câini, pisici sau foarte multe alte animale mici. Dacă rabat banchetele copii pot crede că au ieşit nu în curte ci pe terasă. Deci suficient pentru de toate.
11. Offroader … NU ! Dar nu-mi este frică să încerc să merg cu el pe unde nu sunt drumuri deloc. Nici măcar poteci. Poate doar un spaţiu îngust prin care să mă strecor. Am reuşit pe vremuri cu Dacia 1100 şi cu Oltcitul. Sunt sigur că merge. De fapt nici nu prea contează. La noi offroad este uneori şi suta de km de autostradă. De fapt, în 99,99 % din cazuri ne bucurăm de un 4×4 iarna şi atunci când ieşim la iarbă verde. Pentru restul de 0,01% din cazuri există maşini offroad veritabile, nu dau nume dar ştiu câteva. Oricum nu am bani pentru ele.
12. Garanţie 4 ani. Costuri de întreţinere mici.

To hear the media tell it, everyone wanted a hulking, gas-guzzling Cadillac Escalade before the recession hit. Now, humbled, we all want a tiny, fuel-sipping Nissan Versa. Neither picture is quite true.
As many car-shopping Americans have discovered, the right solution for many of us splits the difference – a compact SUV. Today’s small sport ‘utes are marvels. Most are built on the same platforms as small or midsize cars, making them as easy to drive as sedans – and just as fuel-efficient. The average fuel economy in the Affordable Compact SUV class is about 21 mpg in the city and almost 27 mpg on the highway – similar to what most midsize cars achieve.

We’ve all been in the situation where the sales associate says “can I interest you in an extended warranty?” The opinion most people seem to have is that it’s a waste of money, until it comes to vehicles. A buyer has a very important decision to make when it comes to whether they should extend the warranty on their car. The following tips can help you make that decision.
Research the Vehicle
Vehicles (especially used) are known for having issues specific to that make and model. For example, when I bought my last vehicle I made sure to get the extended warranty due to the fact that my research suggested that the particular make and model was susceptible to transmission problems. It was worth the few hundred dollars to potentially save myself over a thousand in the years that the vehicle is covered.
Can you afford out of pocket?
Some people have savings accounts devoted to things breaking down. While this is an awesome place to be financially, if you can afford to pay the repair bill if and when the vehicle breaks down, there’s no point in paying interest on the additional dollars financed to pay for the warranty.
Going Shopping… for a warranty?!
I love shopping! Okay, I love shopping for stuff a bit more interesting than a warranty. Regardless, to get the extended warranty that’s best for you, this is a great idea. Not only do dealerships offer extended warranties, but financial institutions (such as credit unions *wink wink*) do as well. Shopping around can save you literally hundreds of dollars, so why take the dealership’s without checking it out first?
Read the fine print
As with anything that involves a vehicle, there’s fine print on the extended warranty that could disclose things like deductibles, coverage options (rental, towing, etc), and even what their definition of “wear and tear” is. You may think you’re getting a fantastic deal, but the fine print could be a deal breaker. It may be a pain, but there’s nothing worse than paying for something that could turn out to be completely useless.
Used Vehicles
You can get extended warranties on used vehicles just as easily as you can new. Dealerships are sometimes reluctant to warranty vehicles more than a year or two old; however, you can once again shop around at financial institutions (including Park!) for a warranty. Speaking of used vehicles, if you’re buying from a private party, it’s *ALWAYS* a good idea to get the vehicle inspected… even if you’re buying from a family member. Telling someone you’ll buy their vehicle pending an inspection may make them roll their eyes or think that you don’t trust them; however, it’s a very legitimate safety precaution that could save you thousands of dollars down the road or even on your first trip around the block. Most mechanics are fairly inexpensive when it comes to inspections, and having a trusted mechanic picked out already will save some time. A warning sign that you could be getting someone else’s lemon is if they decline your request to have it inspected or if you’re just getting a “too good to be true” deal on the vehicle already.
Reimbursements
In the fine print somewhere should be the payment policy regarding warranty claims. If your warranty provider requires you to pay the money up front, that’s bad news. Getting a car repaired is expensive! From rental cars to towing to even the repairs themselves, the price tag can add up fast. You may even be forced to take out a loan to cover the costs if your warranty provider doesn’t work directly with the companies involved in getting you back on the road again. Also, ask about warranty reimbursements. Some warranty providers will give you a portion of your warranty back if your coverage period expires without a single claim! That’s almost like getting a tax refund that you weren’t even expecting!
So the question of “should I or shouldn’t I get that warranty?” can only be answered by you. It depends on your financial situation, the vehicle you buy, who you buy it from, and what the warranty covers. We have advisors on staff that would be more than happy to talk to you about the entire auto-buying process, including extended warranties! Just call us at 800/626.2870.
And by the way, did you know our new and used auto loan rates are AWESOME right now? With the money you could save by financing with Park Community, you could get that extended warranty for next to nothing comparatively. Just throwing that out there.
Stories of Toyota owners speeding out of control continue to pour over the airwaves, but one has to wonder why all these Toyotas have all of a sudden decided to act up now after the recall announcement and not before. Are these opportunists taking advantage of potential suit money or just individuals moved by the power of suggestion?
After all if you were speeding at top speeds of 90 or above, unable to slow your vehicle down, would you be able to grab your cell phone and dial the police department? Or would you put your car in neutral and slowly coast to a stop? We all know which one gets more media attention. Hmmmmmm, something to think about when we hear about another Toyota taking off at top speeds.
Esquire Magazine called the new Acura ZDX the “Lady Gaga” of new cars. Lady Gaga may be the star of the future, and that’s how the magazine thinks of Acura’s new model. It’s come “…out of nowhere, time warped from the future, icy cool, hard to define, fascinating and gorgeous,” wrote Dan Neil about the car.
It’s so advanced that you can control temperatures separately for your passengers and yourself in the car with your voice. Satellites beam down to give driver’s reports on weather, and you can get real-time traffic reports, all with the sound of your voice. All you have to do is ask.
These features help to sell cars, even in this poor economy. But DCH Tustin Acura’s General Manager Dick Hsu says his 24-year-old dealership was hit with a 30 percent decrease in sales in 2009.
In spite of that, Hsu’s dealership continues to participate in charitable causes in Orange County, he says. Now his efforts are directed to earthquake victims in Haiti and in Chile, and by mid-March this Acura dealership will send donations to Doctors Without Borders/Medecins Sans Frontieres.
“We wanted to do something immediately,” Hsu says. “Giving personally was fine, but we wanted the business to get involved. I went on the Doctors Without Borders Web site and found a way we as a company could give to those people in need.
“Even my own doctor belongs to the organization and traveled overseas to help,” he said.
Doctors Without Borders is a nonprofit international organization that has helped people in many countries who are victims of violence or catastrophe. Doctors and nurses are committed to quality medical care for people in crisis regardless of race, religion or politics.
DCH Tustin Acura has also participated in the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, Second Harvest Food Bank and this last holiday season they contributed to the Orange County Rescue Mission.
A big pink box with a slot on the top at the receptionist’s desk, beside a vase of fresh carnations, is where employees and customers can drop money for relief aid in Haiti and other earth quake victims. Donors recieve a carnation in recognition, and the dealership will match the proceeds earned doubling the total amount collected.
One of the dealership’s major efforts is for Students Against Destructive Decisions – or SADD. It’s a national organization and Tustin Acura sends drivers to talk to high-schoolers about risky driving. It used to be Students Against Drunk Driving, but the focus has changed.
“We want them to drive,” Hsu says. “But we want them to drive safely.”
“We’re unique,” Hsu says. “We are the only dealer awarded the ‘Dealer of Excellence’ award six times by J.D. Powers. Customers vote for dealerships in that case. We were also awarded Acura’s ‘Dealership of Distinction’ again this year for the seventh time.
“Our customers return to us when they buy another Acura, because they are loyal and know we take care of our customers consistently,” Hsu says. “Our managers’ average tenure here is 20 years.”
Photo courtecy of DCH Tustin Acura: Martha Borreal, cashier at Tustin Acura, and General Manager Dick Hsu are encouraging folks to donate to Haiti and Chile relief efforts through the dealership.
Panamera and Cayenne receive warm reception particularly from US customers
Stuttgart. Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, was able to continue its positive sales trends on the US market in February 2010. With 1,531 vehicles delivered to US customers, sales are 1.5 % above February 2009’s figures. Thus, for the sixth consecutive time in the current fiscal year, Porsche was able to increase deliveries even though the severe winter weather on the US East Coast, the most important region for Porsche, did little to bring customers into the showrooms.
In February, 409 Gran Turismo Panameras were delivered to customers in the USA. Especially good news to report is that sales of the sporty Cayenne SUV, with 599 models sold, was 35 % higher than February 2009’s figures. Sales of the Boxster models, to which the Cayman also belongs, fell 64 % compared to the same period last year with 184 units delivered to customers. Lastly, the sales figures for the 911 models were 39 % lower than February 2009 with 339 sports cars sold.
Today is the 10th birthday of the Playstation 2! If I didn’t have a Playstation 3 without backwards compatibility, my PS2 would certainly have a ton of play time. I still remember when I first got my PS2. I was a straight A student and my parents bought me a PS2 to reward me for the hard work I’ve put into school. The first game I ever put in was “ESPN Winter X Games Snowboarding”. I couldn’t believe that graphics that this console was capable of. Although I have a strong background in gaming (I think everyone grew up on Nintendo back in the day), I think that the moment I got my PS2, was the moment in my life that I became a true gamer.
I remember when life used to be so simple. There was only one console that was better than all of the others, and that was the PS2. There are so many PS2 titles that are rated 9/10 and higher on most, if not all review sites. To celebrate, I’ll make a quick list of my top five favourite Playstation 2 games of all time.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3
I have spent an insane amount of my time playing this game. After school, I would play this game in Free Skate Mode and shoot the shit for a while before supper and homework every night. I would simply sit there raking in the points by the millions casually skating around with no purpose except for the freedom of just having fun. THPS3 is exactly what a game should be: fun. I could literally entertain myself performing caspers, backflips, truckstands, etc. and never get bored of it. It’s sad to see that the modern THPS games don’t hold up to the classics like THPS2, but this still remains a classic to me to this day.
#4
Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec
Oh, what to say about this game. This is another game where I’ve spent avoiding the main points of the game, and just enjoy its Free Run mode. Although I’m not too big of a fan of the soundtrack, I still found it fun to play my own music while hearing the engine of my Mazda RX-7 scream. I’d also like to say that once you get used to the game’s physics engine, the game itself became one of the best drifting games ever in my opinion! Polyphony Digital has done an amazing job with this game, which is why I’m disappointed with the delay of the largely anticipated Gran Turismo 5. Yeah, yeah yeah. “We’re just waiting for an open window for sales”. Just give me my GT5 already!

Dark Cloud 2
When I first got my hands on the first Dark Cloud title, I was amazed at how epic the game was. It was new and different from all of the other games out there, so naturally, the sequel improves on all aspects of the first game and makes it better. I am happy to say that I still play Dark Cloud 2 and that I have not lost interest in this game at all. Although the dungeon crawling is quite repetitive, I hardly notice it when my goal is to get the best possible sword, because I think the visual design of the swords and other weaponry (but mainly swords!) are what captivated me. The brilliant and colourful designs were just amazing. Max and Monica were both very likable characters and so are the rest of the supporting cast. The leveling systems were improved immensely from the first game, and everything just seems so natural. Definitely a top pick. I hope a Dark Cloud 3 is in the near future. I seriously wished White Knight Chronicles didn’t come out if it meant a Dark Cloud 3 release was coming. Please! Give me a DC3!!!

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
I personally don’t think there has been a Grand Theft Auto game released after San Andreas that was as good or better than San Andreas. The storyline is so wacky, but it’s sandbox style gameplay worked so well. GTA:SA is probably one of the funniest games I have EVER played. In all honesty, I loved how the cars of the game are modeled after some of my favourite Japanese cars. It had a Mazda RX-7, Nissan Skyline, Toyota Supra MKIV (FWD? WTF!), Acura NSX, Subaru WRX, Mitsubishi 3000GT, etc. I spent a good portion of the game modifying my cars and driving the crap out of them. I would drift down mountains, pull drift donuts, rally up and down the side of a mountain, canonball run around the entire map, have top speed trials in the country side.. man, what couldn’t you do in this game? Aside from modifying and driving your cars to your heart’s content, you also had access to: stunt moto X, piloting airplanes, sky diving, gambling, having sex with prostitutes, eating burgers, shopping for clothes to look fly, fighting the US Army, flying with a jet pack, getting high, having gang wars, having your own gang, owning your own property, competing in marathons, hanging out with Triads, flying fighter jets and attack helicopters, playing as a taxi driver, playing as an ambulance driver, playing as a super hero, running around in a gimp suit beating people with a dildo, playing pool, having girlfriends, going on dates with your girlfriends, cheating on your girlfriends, shooting your girlfriends if she gets on your case, having a friend join you in a two-player massacre, swimming, getting fat, working out, stunt BMXing at the skate park, stealing a combine and running people over with it, importing your favourite car, ETC ETC ETC. Seriously, you don’t need me to go on. This is a game full of quality.

Final Fantasy X
I didn’t like this game at first. It actually took me a few years to force myself to play a an hour of the game. I couldn’t understand why it was so good.
…then, the story started to unravel.
I couldn’t believe how involved the story was. I was hooked on the story and the characters in the game. This is one of the few games where I actually played as it was meant to be, and for me to call it a classic is saying a lot. I don’t think I’ve ever felt sad for playing a game. It wasn’t because it was horrible, but it was because I could almost feel how the characters are feeling. You can feel the hate that Tidus has for his father, you can feel the struggle that Wakka feels over the loss of his brother, you can feel the sorrow that Yuna feels as she gets closer to the end of her pilgrimage. I wish modern games had stories like this one. Today, stories are just so-so. To this date, no game other than FFX has left me depressed after beating the game because the game was over and I wanted more.
———————————————————-
Please Sony, keep supplying me with top tier classics. I’m sort of disappointed with the current selection of games, but I understand we all have to be patient.
HAPPY 10th BIRTHDAY PLAYSTATION 2! We’ve had some good memories together. Here’s a tribute to ya bud:
Unul dintre cele mai mari evenimente de pe piaţa auto, ajuns la ediţia cu numărul 80, găzduieşte peste 30 de premiere mondiale. Porţile pentru public vor fi deschise mâine.
Cea de-a 80-a ediţie a Salonului Auto de la Geneva îşi va deschide mâine porţile oficial. Standurile celui mai important eveniment de profil din Europa au fost acoperite cu o avalanşă de automobile strălucitoare.
Producătorii auto din toată lumea au pregătit pentru Salonul Auto de la Geneva (care se deschide mâine pentru public) modelele cu care speră să stârnească interesul clienţilor, într-un an în care guvernele ţărilor cu cele mai mari pieţe de pe continent nu mai au pe agendă programele de susţinere a reînnoirii parcurilor auto. Peste 30 de premiere mondiale vor fi expuse la Geneva în acest an.
Dacia iese cu primul său SUV
Printre ele se află şi modelul Dacia Duster, primul SUV lansat de constructorul auto din istoria sa. Al şaselea model din gama Dacia a fost dezvoltat pe aceeaşi platformă ca şi „umilul” Logan.
SUV-ul va fi lansat comercial pe 6 martie, cu un preţ minim de 10.500 de euro, în versiunea 4×2 (12.300 de euro pentru versiunea de bază 4×4). Cel mai echipat model este Laureate, ce va fi comercializat cu 15.600 de euro, cu TVA inclus. Un model intermediar este Ambiance, al cărui preţ porneşte de la 11.000 de euro.
Dacia Duster va concura cu Skoda Yeti, Nissan Qashqai, Toyota RAV4, Kia Sportage, Volkswagen Tiguan, Fiat Sedici sau Suzuki SX4 – modele SUV/crossover cu dimensiuni care gravitează în intervalul 4,1-4,4 metri şi care dispun de versiuni 2×4 sau 4×4.

Suna fain ideea cu Duster-ul asta, dar cand citesc ca el va concura cu Skoda Yeti, Nissan Qashqai, Toyota RAV4, Kia Sportage, Volkswagen Tiguan, Fiat Sedici sau Suzuki SX4 rad in hohote! De aceea am numit articolul: Fie painea cat de rea… tot mai bun e cozonacul! a.k.a. Fie Duster cat de rau… tot mai bun e Tiguan-ul!
Debuting at the Geneva Motor Show next month, the Mercedes-Benz F800 concept car is highly-touted by Mercedes press release scribes for its eco-tech features. But what’s probably of greater interest to most is its stunningly gorgeous design, which is everyone’s first peek at what the next-generation CLS-Class sedan is going to look like. If this is just the beginning then there is a long road ahead of us.
The F800 introduces two new technologies that will become standard features in upcoming models; Distronic Plus Traffic Jam Assistant and Pre-Safe 360-degree system. The Distronic Plus is an enhanced version of Mercedes’ active cruise control system, which can now steer the car through curves as long as it’s traveling under 25 mph. The Pre-Safe 360-degree system expands on the existing Pre-Safe collision detection/mitigation system to the rear of the car, whereas now, if Pre-Safe senses that a rear-end impact is imminent, it’ll apply the brakes in a bid to keep the car from getting into any accidents.
Mercedes-Benz also boasts the concept’s flexible powertrain platform. The realistic option is a plug-in hybrid system that’s basically an offshoot of the V6 light-hybrid setup found in the S400 sedan. Mercedes says this new plug-in gas-electric system, which is good for over 400 combined horsepower, gives the car an EV-only driving range of 18 miles. The automaker has announced that a new plug-in system is headed to the next-gen S-Class, so don’t dismiss the F800’s hybrid setup as trendy green pandering.
The brand new BMW M3 will be the only high performance vehicle on the market to have Auto Start-Stop technology as a standard feature. The addition of Auto Start-Stop will result in a hefty drop in CO2 emissions and improve fuel consumption. The technology will be available on both six-speed manual and M DCT transmission. BMW’s contribution to the environment, there far too kind.
A aparut si brosura pentru Dacia Duster. Masina o sa vina in 4 variante de echipare: Duster, Ambiance, Laureate si Prestige.
E misto ca o sa aiba airbaguri pentru cap si torace, oglinzi electrice incalzite, tapiterie din piele, volan si schimbator imbracate in piele. Deci suna a masina civilizata.
Daca tinem cont si de pret si de costurile de intretinere, oferta nu e rea deloc. Astept sa vad modelul in realitate; sper sa fie la fel de “impunator”.
In its bid to support the cause of saving fuel and going green, Skoda Auto India, flagged off India Cyclothon – Mumbai 2010, India’s first ever international cycling event held at Bandra Reclamation on Sunday, 21st February, 2010.
Skoda Auto India supports India Cyclothon Mumbai 2010
The ride, that flagged off from Bandra Reclamation had participants from all walks of life including amateur cyclists, cycling enthusiasts, working professionals, housewives and schoolchildren, thus adding to the colour and festivities. The event was marked by the presence of a host of celebrities including bollywood superstar Salman Khan. Reputed international cyclists like Stuart O’Grady and Baden Cooke competed in the International Elite 100kms Men’s Race, which was mentored by cycling great Eddy Mercx. Skoda Auto India too made its presence felt with a contingent of cyclists of their own.
Skoda Auto’s association with the environment friendly sport of cycling has been a distinguished one. For the past six years, Skoda Auto has been an official partner of the legendry international cycle race, the ‘Tour De France.’ Bringing this association closer home, Skoda Auto India collaborated with Mumbai Cyclothon to lend its support to the events pledge of saving fuel and promoting a greener environment. In this regard, Skoda Auto’s highly fuel efficient and eco-friendly vehicles were also present during the event.
Previously too, Skoda Auto India has been involved in eco-friendly campaigns by organising several free pollution-check drives across its 65 dealerships in the country. Skoda Auto India’s participation in Mumbai Cyclothon further augments Skoda’s environment friendly measures.
Mumbai Cyclothon had multiple race categories – the Amateur ride of 24 km, the corporate/group ride of 24 km, the Green ride of 12 km and the kids ride for youngsters between the ages of 8 and 13 spanning 2 km and an International Elite Men’s Race of a 100 km. Team Skoda participated in the XXX race, displaying great enthusiasm and vigour.
If you bought a new vehicle in 2009, you may be entitled to a special tax deduction for the sales and excise taxes on your purchase.
Here are eight important facts the Internal Revenue Service wants you to know about this deduction:
State and local sales and excise taxes paid on up to $49,500 of the purchase price of each qualifying vehicle are deductible.
Qualified motor vehicles generally include new cars, light trucks, motor homes and motorcycles.
To qualify for the deduction, the new cars, light trucks and motorcycles must weigh 8,500 pounds or less. New motor homes are not subject to the weight limit.
Purchases must occur after Feb. 16, 2009, and before Jan. 1, 2010.
Purchases made in states without a sales tax — such as Alaska, Delaware, Hawaii, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon — may also qualify for the deduction. Taxpayers in these states may be entitled to deduct other qualifying fees or taxes imposed by the state or local government. The fees or taxes that qualify must be assessed on the purchase of the vehicle and must be based on the vehicle’s sales price or as a per unit fee.
This deduction can be taken regardless of whether the buyers itemize their deductions or choose the standard deduction. Taxpayers who do not itemize will add this additional amount to the standard deduction on their 2009 tax return.
The amount of the deduction is phased out for taxpayers whose modified adjusted gross income is between $125,000 and $135,000 for individual filers and between $250,000 and $260,000 for joint filers.
Taxpayers who do not itemize must complete Schedule L, Standard Deduction for Certain Filers to claim the deduction.

Simple truth is no. So here are some stats on Social Media that you should be aware of.
Is Social Media here to stay?
Yes, if you believe this information.
230 million -posting each and every day to social media websites
+83% – the growth of time between 09 and 10 that people in US spent on social networking sites
+145% – the growth of US Facebook users from 2009 to 2010
+3712% – growth of US Twitter users from 2009 to 2010
25% –One in four US Internet page views occurred at one of the top social networking sites in December 2009, up 83% from 13.8% in December 2008
Here’s another stat that should put a fire underneath you.
What are your competitors doing?
In 3 Hours of announcing our Social Media Webinar we had 25 registrations.
Your competition is hungry for information. Most automotive ad agencies are not engaged in social media. That’s why dealers are searching for the right program and approach on their own.
I have never seen this kind of response. I’ve been doing webinars for over 12 years and this really blows my mind. I knew dealers were wondering and watching but the sleeping bear is awaking.
Here is my final piece of advise. If you’ve been reading up-your-ups for long you know I provide valuable information and relevant information to the dealer world. So here goes, don’t let your competition get ahead of you. Get on the move!
Wait… another 10 dealers just signed up!
If you would like any information on webinars on Automotive Social Media shoot me a message.

February 11, 2010 by Tim Beissmann
7 Comments
It’s called the Honda Odyssey Concept, but this latest offering at the Chicago Auto Show gives a very real indication of the production version of the fourth-generation US-spec Honda Odyssey.
Following what is already a sleek people-mover design, Honda said it wanted the new Odyssey to appear lower and more grounded. As a consequence the minivan sits on the same 3m wheelbase but is 3.6cm wider and incorporates tighter bodywork and uncomplicated lines.
While the huge alloys and discs of the show car are unlikely to make it to production, the “lightning bolt” beltline – designed to increase third-row comfort and visibility – will be a showroom feature of the new Odyssey.
Mums and dads in the front will also be happy to know that the production version is expected to have seatbacks, despite the interior design sketches released at the show.
Honda is yet to confirm specific drivetrain data but expects fuel consumption to drop from 14.7 litres/100km in the city and 10.2 litres/100km on the highway to 12.4 and 8.4 respectively.
Honda also hinted at an eco model with “enhanced aerodynamics” and “advanced powertrain technologies” that would improve economy and emissions figures even further.
The Honda Odyssey Concept was designed and engineered in the US and will be produced in Alabama for a likely 2011 debut.
Sporting one of the meanest grille’s ever planted on an SUV, along with 18- and 20-inch wheels, the 2011 Lincoln MKX comes right out the gate ready to muscle the streets. Detailed with newly contoured fenders and hood, 4” oval exhaust pipes and HID and LED taillamps; the upgraded features seem somewhat endless for this Ford luxury gem.
Signature white lighting brightens the interior, showcasing the vehicles prominent technical specs. An all-new touch-sensitive instrument panel blesses the dashboard, along with touch-sensitive controls (such as fingertip touch sliders that allow for raising an lowering volumes) and revamped climate-control leather seating. The 2011 Lincoln MKX features optional packages as well, allowing owners to include tuxedo stripes, black piping, or Shantung aluminum appliqués.
The base engine is a 3.7-liter Duramax V-6 that pumps 305 horsepower, and features Ford’s new Ti-VCT variable valve timing technology—introducing fuel shut-off and smart charging—economizing fuel to the best of its ability. Six-speed SelectShift automatic transmission allows for sporty driving with a full driver-selectable mode; plus manages up to 25 mpg on the highway for long trips. Reap the benefits of the 2011 Lincoln MKX or play Driving Miss Daisy on the streets, tunnels and highways of the big city.
As expected, financers will be reluctant to give money to borrowers who have an imperfect credit record. However, subprime auto loans are a great rescue option in such scenario. Subprime lenders provide loans to people with bad credit, no credit, and bankruptcy quarries. Bankruptcy car loans will typically come at a higher price. However, there are a few ways to avail lower rates. Having a savings bank account and staying current on it surely helps. Get a copy of the credit report and verify all the accounts. Ensure any debts discharged off in the bankruptcy is not shown as unpaid.
Moreover, the reasons that led to bankruptcy greatly influence the decision of the lender. If the borrower’s financial slip-ups led to insolvency, then bankruptcy auto loan lenders may not be quite willing to compromise. Here, the borrowers will have to prove that they have learnt from past mistakes, and demonstrate actions taken by them to prevent such a situation in future. Particularly in such cases, it is advisable to get small loans like credit cards, and pay off bills regularly to demonstrate one’s repaying abilities.
Free Car Loan Quote – Bad Credit 100% Accepted
Generally, because of the high risk involved for the lenders, bankruptcy auto finance is provided for smaller durations, 12 to 48 months. So, per month installments may turn out to be higher than expected. So, it is recommended for borrowers to work out a monthly budget plan, and calculate how much they can afford to spend on the loan every month. Choose a car model based on the budget restrictions. Used cars can be an economical option. Some lenders ask for collateral against the loan. Secured loans are a good alternative as they will be cheaper, and can be obtained instantly. Moreover, most lenders do not agree to provide unsecured loans for at least two years post bankruptcy. Else, one may have to provide a substantial amount, around 20 to 30 percent, as down payment.
Internet is the best place to look for car financing after bankruptcy. Credit unions are also quite cooperative. Compare the interest rates, total costs and rules of payment of several subprime lenders before coming to a conclusion. Be a smart consumer and make a decision after much deliberation.
For a few beans more than 300 large (thousand), the 2010 Alfa Romeo 8C Spider has no option but to live up it’s hype. Underpinned by components filched from the Maserati parts bin, the 8C Spider is gracefully customized with carbon fiber bodywork, and Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes, 15.0 inches at the front and 14.2 out back, sitting behind 20-inch wheels. Weighing at 198 pounds heavier than the natural coupe, the Spider shows it’s weight in platinum is off the scale.
The control-arm suspension is lifted from the Gran Turismo, so is the dry-sump version of the Maserati 4.7-liter V-8 that produces 444 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque. It drives the rear wheels through a rear-mounted, six-speed automated manual transmission. To offset raising the center of gravity versus the coupe, this speed demon has a powered cloth top (rather than a folding metal roof) and a carbon-fiber windshield surround. The proclaimed top speed of 181 mph is unchanged from the coupe’s, but the 0 to 60 mph performance will likely be 0.2 second slower, at 4.4 seconds.
The interior is stunning as well, carrying the perfume of Poltrona Frau leather. There’s a sense of old-fashioned artisanship that works toward justifying the price. For instance, the panels that surround the gauges and the heating and ventilation system are machined from billet aluminum just as in a high-end Chip Foose hot rod. The Recaro seats have manual adjustments and are constructed of carbon fiber, a material that also adorns the cabin.
Like the 8C Competizione coupe, 500 convertibles will be distributed. Just 35 will make it to the U.S., compared with 84 coupes. The convertible is about 30 percent less rigid than the coupe, quickly adding that the “rigidity of the coupe is very, very high.” As a result, Alfa recalibrated the springs, anti-roll bars, and shocks. The driving experience alone makes the car special. Like the Zagato and Touring-bodied 8C-2300 and 8C-2900 Alfas from the 1930s, the 8C Spider will look fabulous on concourse lawns 50 years from now.

Peugeot mass produced the first electric scooter 15 years ago. Way back in 1996, the 40 km range of the Peugeot Scoot’Elec produced a chorus of yawns, but when the new E-Vivacity hits showrooms later this year; it will be greeted by an eco-friendly public. Emissions aside, its remarkably low cost of use will push this scoot’.
Though its 4kW engine is the equivalence of a frugal 50cc scooter, its running costs will be one tenth as it recharges from a domestic power point at regular tariffs. The Lithium Ion Cobalt battery has many advantages: it allows a minimum of 1,000 intensive charging/discharging cycles without any harm and without a memory effect, meaning it can cover over 40,000 km under normal usage. The Battery Management System monitors the charge and the temperature of the different elements, ensures the safety of the system, manages battery life and a full charge takes around four hours at a 230 V – 16 A domestic socket, using the bike’s on-board charger and charging cable, which reside beneath the seat.
While a complete charge on empty takes four hours, the first two hours recover 80% of total battery capacity, while the last two hours are used to level out the monoblocs. The sophistication of the electronic management helps to optimise the energy output and life of the batteries. The new E-Vivacity hits showrooms late this year, it will be entering into a far more ecologically-aware marketplace.

When I think of a Honda; I think of an average car that teens get as a first car. Honda a brand for the middle-average man seem to be focusing on the future. With talks of a more advance car that Honda is developing, the car of the future is right around the corner. Honda is also saying the their new car will run on hydrogen or h2o. With an exterior similar to a Lambo, this car is definitely sexy! Either way the sound of hydrogen in a car already seems pretty cool. This car will help the earth and will have its competitors on their heels. Watch out Lambo!
my table has a flat tire, so erin and i drive it
to the church square that fixes them.
i was driving, because i always drive,
and when i drive with erin i drive without pants.
we arrive, and i barely have enough space to back
the table into the foyer, where the pastor in overalls
tells us he’ll only charge us more than we can afford.
i say ok and do a KKK turn out of the foyer.
the furry armadillos have been following us
ever since we crossed into church property.
they look like anteaters with greyhound bodies,
and fur like golden retrievers. erin didn’t think they
were cute. they didn’t think much of her either.
they are all mine. goddamn they’re fucking cute.
the matron loves it when i scratch both her cheeks at once.
it’s so satisfying.
james finds us and i’ve forgotten all about my
flat-tired table.
we walk to a neo-buddhist neo-shrine, i think it’s inspired
by the japanese, but i bet the armadillos had something
to do with it. they seem quite at home there.
it seems just a little too small for humans of our size,
but we fit ok. there’s a small walkway down the middle
with some single-stream fountains flowing right onto it.
they would soak your feet if you walked down it.
at the bottom is a cast iron fence
about a foot and a half off the ground.
the armadillos tread here a lot, i can tell.
Great news for Acura owners! For the second consecutive year, Acura has received the Automotive Lease Guide (ALG) 2010 Residual Value Award for Best Luxury Brand. According to ALG, Acura’s line of luxury performance vehicles is expected to retain the highest percentage of their original price after a three-year period. Acura beat out other luxury brands such as Audi, BMW, Lexus and Mercedes-Benz for the highly coveted award.
This means when you lease a new Acura you’ll get a much better rate.
Also, when you sell your Acura later, you’ll retain much better value than the other cars.

High school driver education may be the most convenient way to learn driving skills, but it doesn’t always produce safer drivers. Parents also should set good examples when they drive while reinforcing the lessons their teens learned in drivers ed.
Restrict night driving.
Most nighttime fatal crashes among young drivers occur between 9 p.m. and midnight, so you can reduce their risk of a crash by restricting nighttime driving after 9 p.m. The problem isn’t just that late-night driving requires more skill. Outings late at night tend to be recreational. In these circumstances, even teens who usually follow all the rules can easily be distracted or encouraged to take risks.
Restrict passengers.
Teen passengers in a vehicle can distract a beginning driver and/or lead to greater risk-taking. Because young drivers often transport their friends, there’s a teen passenger problem as well as a teen driver problem. In 2003, 59 percent of teenage passenger deaths occurred in vehicles driven by another teenager. While night driving with passengers is particularly lethal, many fatal crashes with teen passengers occur during the day. The best policy is to restrict teen passengers, especially multiple teens, all the time.
Supervise practice driving.
Take an active role in helping your teenager learn how to drive. Plan a series of practice sessions in a wide variety of situations, including night driving. Give beginners time to work up to challenges like driving in heavy traffic or on the freeway. Supervised practice should be spread over at least six months and continue even after a teenager graduates from a learner’s permit to a restricted or full license.
Remember you are a role model.
New drivers learn a lot by example, so practice safe driving. Teens who have crashes and violations often have parents with poor driving records.
Require safety belt use.
Don’t assume that seat belt use when you’re in the car with your 16-year-old means belts will be used all the time, especially when your child is out with peers. Remember that belt use is lower among teenagers than older people. Insist on belts all the time.
Prohibit driving after drinking.
Make it clear that it’s illegal and highly dangerous for a teenager to drive after drinking alcohol or using any other drug. While alcohol isn’t a factor in most crashes of 16-year-old drivers, even small amounts of alcohol will impair teens.
Choose vehicles for safety, not image.
Teenagers should drive vehicles that reduce their chances of a crash and offer protection in case they do crash. For example, small cars don’t offer the best protection in a crash. Avoid cars with performance images that might encourage speeding. Also, be mindful that certain vehicles with a higher center of gravity may be more prone to roll over.

They do call them specials for a reason. The latest Top gear Episode features the trio treking through Bolivian rainforests, and up Chilean moutain ranges. With Top gear plot & episode writing lacking in recent episodes, this really does make up for a lot of lost joy. If you haven’t seen the North Pole Special, African Special, Or Vietnamese Special, be sure to catch those as well.

We’ve all been in the situation where the sales associate says “can I interest you in an extended warranty?” The opinion most people seem to have is that it’s a waste of money, until it comes to vehicles. A buyer has a very important decision to make when it comes to whether they should extend the warranty on their car. The following tips can help you make that decision.
Just throwing that out there.
