2009 Chevrolet Impala, the all-new version from Chevrolet is under development. Why the buzz? Well, for the first time, Chevrolet Impala will have a rear wheel drive platform - Zeta. It will primarily share its design cues from the upcoming Camaro. The car will for sure come with retro styling and an optional V8.
2009 Chevrolet Impala should feature a double pivot McPhearson front strut suspension, which is primarily modified from Holden VE, which is an independent rear suspension system. This is near to that of Sigma II. The only difference will be that it will be using cheaper steel rather than aluminum in order to save cost. 2009 Chevrolet Impala is most likely to use 3.6 L HF V6 across the board.

 New C30 with new touching Style and modern techniques…………

“Simply put, it rocks,” boasts the press release. Well, technically they were talking about the sound system, but we know what they meant.
Volvo has released media information for its new C30, which the company plans to unveil at the 2006 Paris Motor Show this fall. The hatchback has the distinction of targeting young singles and couples with “intense” urban lifestyles who look for vehicles with a certain look and driveability.
Among its perks are a 160-watt sound system, turbocharged 218 hp inline five, four sport bucket seats, and safety amenities aplenty.
Volvo expects to sell 65,000 units world wide per year, though the company has not released plans to sell the vehicle in the United States.

Volvo Car Corporation reveals first production photos of the all-new C30; will be unveiled at the 2006 Paris Motor Show this
September Irvine, CA (July 24, 2006) – The first official photos of the exciting new Volvo C30 were released today by Volvo Car Corporation. In preparation for the car’s global unveiling this September at the Paris Motor Show, the photos come just seven months after the C30 Design Concept was unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in early 2006
The edgy design of the C30 features a unique frameless glass tailgate, a confident stance and the broad shoulders that have become a Volvo design hallmark. The C30 will represent a new segment entry for Volvo. “The new C30 is an ambitious new car for Volvo,” commented Fredrik Arp, President and CEO of Volvo Car Corporation. “It is a car that aims for a group of young singles, or couples, with intense urban lifestyles. These people prioritize excitement in design and driving characteristics, and this car should suit their varied tastes perfectly.”

Global sales of the new C30 are targeted at 65,000 cars annually. Fully 75 percent of those sales are expected to come from Europe, with the largest markets being Italy, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom. Volvo Cars of North America, LLC (VCNA), is currently evaluating the possibility of introducing the new C30 to the U.S. market.
All-new Volvo C30 design linked closely to Detroit Motor Show concept
The design of the production Volvo C30 is highly reminiscent of the C30 Design Concept that was unveiled to the automotive press at the Detroit Motor Show at the beginning of the year. The front clip retains its sporty, dynamic character with the aggressively angled headlamps and the low, wide grille. Viewed from the side, the distinct wheel arches and sloping roofline give the new C30 a fast silhouette, which is further enhanced by the design of the side glass. As expected with any modern Volvo, the shoulders of the C30 are powerfully rounded and are accentuated by the highly stylized lighting pattern of the tail lamps and glass tailgate. The available spoiler at the upper edge of the tailgate comes in two distinctive styles.
                                  

                                  “The C30 has plenty of muscles in a sporty and compact package,” noted Volvo Car’s Design Director Steve Mattin. “Anyone who recalls the Volvo SCC (Safety Concept Car) or the classic P1800ES will recognize the exclusive and convenient rear tailgate. The distinctive tail lamps ensure that no one will be uncertain about which car they are following.”

Sport bucket seats for four adults
The new Volvo C30 has room for four adults thanks to the two sport bucket rear seats with generous head and leg room. The rear seats are positioned slightly inboard to provide a feeling of space and exceptional outward visibility through the windshield. The space between the seats also makes the thin, visually floating center stack clearly visible through the glass tailgate. The folding rear seats really help meet the needs of the targeted customer’s active lifestyle.

                                  The interior program has been designed to meet the C30 buyers taste for personal choices. Even the base program offers the sporty T-Tech upholstery “The Volvo C30 is a very exciting car with emotional appeal. We anticipate that the C30’s youthfulness and dynamic design will catch the hearts and minds of people beyond Volvo’s traditional customers.” commented Anne Bélec, President and CEO of VCNA.

218 horsepower and 8.5-inches shorter than a Volvo S40

Putting 218 horsepower to the front wheels, the new C30 is powered by a turbocharged inline five-cylinder engine that produces 236 pound-feet of torque.
Measuring in at just 167 inches in length, the C30 is the smallest member of Volvo’s model range – an impressive 8.5 inches shorter than the Volvo S40 sport sedan while still retaining the 103.9 inch wheel base, which really pushes the wheels towards the end of the car. “A car that exudes muscular maneuverability must live up to the promise of its looks when you are behind the wheel,” said C30 project leader Håkan Abrahamsson. “Therefore, the C30 has a chassis that offers sporty driving characteristics, nimble handling and responsive steering.
Right out of the box, audio enthusiasts will appreciate the Volvo C30’s standard 160-watt stereo system. And true audiophiles can choose a Premium Sound system that closely matches the acclaimed system offered in the new C70, with a digital 5×130W ICE Power amplifier from Alpine®, Dolby® Pro Logic II Surround, and 10 loudspeakers from Danish loudspeaker manufacturer Dynaudio®. Total output for the Premium Sound System is an astonishing 650 watts. Simply put, it rocks.
Volvo’s legendary safety is well represented in the new C30
When it comes to safety, the new C30 is a true Volvo. Among other things, it will be available with BLIS (Blind Spot Information System), which helps the driver to identify another vehicle in the blind spot at the rear sides of the car.
The front end incorporates the same patented multi-steel structure as the S40 and V50. Combined with airbags and safety belt pretensioners, the C30 offers first class safety. But the C30 wouldn’t be a Volvo if it didn’t also include such standard safety equipment as the Whiplash Protection System, WHIPS, and a Side Impact Protection System with side airbags and the Inflatable Curtain, IC.
“The new Volvo C30 plays an important role in our push towards a volume of 600,000 cars a year. We are broadening our model program to make it possible for new, younger customers with an intense, urban lifestyle to choose a Volvo with the right appeal as early as possible,” noted Arp. VCNA, part of the Volvo Car Corporation of Gothenburg, Sweden, provides marketing, sales, parts, service, technology and training support to Volvo automobile retailers in the United States, and oversees Volvo operations in Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico.
Volvo has been building cars with safety in mind for over 75 years. The 2007 Volvo Cars model line-up includes: the award-winning new S40 and its wagon counterpart the all-new V50; the award-winning XC90; the sporty S60 sedan – including the award-winning performance sedan – S60 R and the performance wagon version – V70 R; the all-new flagship S80 luxury sedan; versatile V70 wagon and rugged XC70 (Cross Country); and the new C70 convertible with its unique three-piece retractable hardtop.

TOYOTA is going to Introduce new “YARIS 2007”exactly to fulfill the needs of modern age.
    

   Yaris Sedan         Yaris S Sedan            Yaris lift back

Ever wondered why great design has to cost an arm and a leg? Well, we asked ourselves that same question and came up with a great idea. Make that two great ideas. The Yaris Liftback and Yaris Sedan. Available MP3/WMA playback capability means the soundtrack to your ride will be composed from your favorite playlists. Need a little extra space? More center pockets, cup holders, console trays and map pockets provide enough space to please any pack rat. And Liftback’s available 60/40 split, reclining, sliding, fold-flat rear seat makes storage a moot point. With exceptional EPA gas mileage ratings — up to 40 mpg [2] highway, the car you can afford to drive is finally the car you actually want to drive.

Internet has eased each of our lives in a big way. There are many busybodies who have absolutely no time for themselves. If you happen to be one of the people I am referring to and would like some easy tips to sell your car online– here are 5 useful tips to sell your car through Online Classifieds.

1.Describe the following in detail:
-Features
-Mileage
-Name and year model

2. Include a true picture of the front,rear,and insides of your car.

3. Include your full contact details.

4. Hint if you have any extra items like CD changer, seat cover etc. included.

5. Post your advertisements to many online classifieds to have different offers and try to get the best and safest offer you have.

Got $74,385? No. Not to buy a new set of XJS Jaguar parts. $74,385 would be so you surely can own one of the latest 2007 Jaguar XK series coupe models. It now comes equipped with a 4.2 liter V8 engine that could produce 300 units of horsepower, and it has also been built with an accompanying chassis made out of aluminum. For city driving, you can get 18 miles per gallon out of it and some 26 mpg for cruising down highways. Just by the name that it holds, the Jaguar XK is a superb vehicle and surely exudes class and power. Is it not something you would want to own?

What is new about this new 2007 Jaguar XK is that it is very fast, even much faster than the models before it. And to add to that note, its speed is a product of its getting lighter. In fact, according to the Jaguar brand, it is now five per cent lighter. The previous models were already topnotch vehicles and with changes like this, it not would be very surprising to find that this vehicle has maintained its reign as the best selling sports car for all time for the Jaguar brand.

This sports car has a huge amount of standard equipment made available for all interested parties. You can count in the usual like traction control, stability control and antilock brakes. You can also find whiplash reducing front seats included in the list. For added safety, Jaguar has added in a tire pressure monitoring system as a standard feature. Oh, and do not forget fun features like the DVD navigation system, plus a keyless start. Jaguar also boasts that the Jaguar XK has an adaptive suspension system, power adjustable front seats that are also heated and has a memory function, and parking sensors are also included.

Car care can be intimidating, often because people don’t know what to check on their vehicles - or when to check it - to keep them in good working condition.

A recent survey by the Car Care Council found that 38 percent of cars had low or dirty engine oil, more than 50 percent had low tire pressure and an alarming number of vehicles had not been properly maintained.

Being proactive about vehicle maintenance will not only keep your vehicle in good condition, but save you time and money as well. Here are some guidelines for what to check, and when, from the experts at Firestone Complete Auto Care:

* Every other fuel fill-up: engine oil and washer fluid.

* Every oil change: antifreeze, air filter and battery.

* Monthly: belts, brake fluid, hoses, power steering fluid, tire air pressure, tire tread depth and overall condition, and transmission fluid.

* Every six months: wiper blades.

* Annually: exhaust system.

* Replace when out or worn: lights, shock absorbers.

* Refer to vehicle owner’s manual: change oil, rotate tires.

Experts also recommend that drivers keep an emergency kit in their vehicles. This too can be confusing, as people don’t always know what to include in an emergency kit.

Here are a few items Firestone Complete Auto Care suggests you have to help prepare for unforeseen circumstances on the road:

* Jumper cables

* Flashlight and batteries

* Reflector

* Protective gloves

* Toolkit

* Flares and matches

* Gallon of water

* Nonperishable food

* Portable air compressor

* Auto Club membership card

* In the winter months: a shovel, bag of kitty litter or sand and a blanket.

With a basic car care checklist to help keep your vehicle running well and a comprehensive vehicle emergency kit, you can drive with confidence knowing that you’ll be prepared for any “bump in the road.
