MiTO

Alfa Romeo’s new cute, sexy, attractive mini car !
Yes, Alfa Romeo MiTo. The best looking mini car on market. Sorry Mini, you are not that good.
MiTo looks great, excellent Italian design but why do u still resist to offer an automatic gear box ? I am not looking for double clutch auto, just a normal one like in Fiat 500. Fiat is the owner of Alfa Romeo and they could share technology, as VW shares with its every brand.
I think that’s the only keeping lots of people away from MiTo, an auto option for petrol and diesel engines. Of course, interior has Italian style some quality problems but who cares with that great look :) And also it is a bit expensive, but worth it

Hybrid is really hygenic as we think ?

Hybrid vehicles are now avaiable in Turkish market. As people were thought; hybrids are clean, save the planet, save the environment, save your grandkids and so on.
Technically true but pratically not !!! As the hybrids cars are mostly produced with non-recycled materials and have batteries which are toxic to environment is one issue. The other issue is, Asian hybird are production cost is much more than an ordinary car. As the nickel batteries arrive from Canada, vehicles’ structure is complicated and needs more time produce; it cannot be generalized as very green car. The end product is clean, lower emission. But VW Polo BlueMotion is doing pretty good also ;)
And current crash testing does not have special stages or criteria for hybrids vehicles as they hold very high voltage under the seat.

Electro Shock for Saab

A few hours ago, Spyker announced that its interest on Saab revealed again.
Spyker and Saab relationship turned into soap opera. I think this is called emotional business.

VW, Bigger the Better

Half a century ago, VW was just building reasonable cars for society. And probably nobody ever imagined that, one day VW is going to build automotive empire.
During last decade, VW’s boost in automotive industry cannot be ignored. One decade ago, VW was producing daily cars without too much charming details. And now, Passat has the attractive CC model; VW brand holds many other brands. While American companies are going down, VW is going up.
Volkswagen turn into Weltwagen.

Small Step for Chrysler, Big Step for American Cars

Chrysler introduced a very high technology 1.4litre engine.
After long years flirting with v8 engines, this 1.4litre will be a new page for American car companies and also for drivers.
Dodge RAM with 1.4litre super and turbocharged engine, sounds nice :)
