<br />
As weather and road conditions change with the season, following fall driving safety tips will help keep you safe as you enjoy the cool crisp air and the beautiful colors of the autumn leaves.<br />
<br />
The Dangers of Leaves on the Roads<br />
When leaves accumulate on the roadway and become wet, they can get extremely slippery, making the driving conditions similar to driving on ice. If the temperature drops below freezing, the wet leaves will freeze and turn into dangerous icy leaves on the roadway. Besides reducing the car's traction, causing skidding and the possibility of losing control of the vehicle, leaves often cover the painted road markings, making it difficult to know the locations of the lanes.<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Slow down if you are driving on a road covered with leaves, especially when driving around turns.</li>
<li>Allow yourself plenty of room to stop in an emergency. Keep a greater distance between you and the car in front of you.</li>
<li>Leaves make it difficult to see potholes and bumps in the road.</li>
<li>A pile of leaves raked to the side of the road is an inviting place to a child. Children enjoy jumping into the leaf piles or burrowing down into them and hiding. Never drive through a leaf pile. Use caution going around turns and where children are playing.</li>
<li>Keep your windshield leaf free to avoid wet leaves getting stuck under the windshield wiper blades.</li>
<li>In order to avoid the possibility of a fire hazard from the exhaust system or catalytic converter, never park your vehicle over a pile of leaves .</li>
</ul>
<br />
Changing Weather Conditions<br />
In many areas, autumn is a damp, wet season. There are many rainy or foggy days and nights. As the temperatures drop, frost often coats the ground at night.<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>When driving in fog, set your headlight to low beam. This setting aims the beam of light down toward the roadway.</li>
<li>In the fall as temperatures drop, frost often forms on the roadway, causing hazardous driving conditions. Drive slowly and break gently at overpasses and bridges as these areas frost over more quickly than other roadway surfaces.</li>
<li>Be aware of areas where black ice forms on the roadway.</li>
</ul>
<br />
Adjust for Fewer Hours of Daylight<br />
In the fall there are fewer hours of daylight. In the earlier darkness it is common to see children outside playing or riding their bicycles. People are walking their dogs, jogging or taking late afternoon or evening walks. In the fading light of dusk it is more difficult to see the children and pedestrians.<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Watch out for children at their bus stops in the morning and as they return home in the afternoon.</li>
<li>Halloween is a fun fall holiday. Take special care where children are out trick or treating. They may be wearing masks or costumes that limit their visibility.</li>
<li>Always drive defensively.</li>
</ul>
<br />
Vehicle Maintenance<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Keep your headlights cleaned and in proper working order, making sure they are aligned.</li>
<li>Replace your windshield wiper blades if they show any signs of wear.</li>
<li>Keep an emergency car safety kit in your vehicle.</li>
</ul>
<br />
Additional Fall Safety Driving Tips<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Always keep a pair of sunglasses in your vehicle. Fall sunrises and sunsets can be very brilliant. The bright sun often creates a large amount of glare, making it difficult to see other vehicles, the roadway or the road's shoulder. Wearing sunglasses during these times reduces the danger.</li>
<li>If you live in an area where there are deer, they are more apt to run into the roadway especially at dawn and dusk since the fall is an active breeding time. If you see a deer cross the roadway, proceed very slowly as they often travel in groups.</li>
</ul>
<br />
Naturally safe driving practices are essential all through the year. However, being aware of the unique autumn driving hazards and following the fall driving safety tips here will make you a safer driver.<br />

For drivers, fall also brings unique dangers to the roads. Find out what makes fall driving dangerous and what you can do to keep yourself safe.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<b>Why Driving In The Fall Can Be Dangerous</b><br />
<br />
Weather conditions can be unpredictable in the fall. A bright, beautiful afternoon can turn rainy and cold in minutes. And with days getting shorter, you could find yourself commuting to or from work in darkness.<br />
<br />
<b>Back-to-school traffic</b><br />
Fall means back to school for kids, which means more cars and buses on the roads. Drivers also need to watch out for increased pedestrian traffic in the morning and afternoon as children walk to and from school and their neighborhood bus stops.<br />
<br />
<div>
<b>Rain</b><br />
The first rain in a few weeks can be particularly dangerous, as water pools on top of dust and oil that haven't had a chance to wash away and makes the pavement extremely slippery.<br />
<br />
<b>Leaves (and leaf peepers)</b><br />
Fall foliage is certainly beautiful, but as leaves begin to fall, they litter the roads, making streets slick while obscuring traffic lines and other pavement markings. They also hide potholes and other road hazards. And when it rains, it can make those wet leaves on the roadway as dangerous as ice.<br />
<br />
And where there are turning leaves, there are leaf peepers. These leaf-peeping drivers tend to crawl along the roads and make unpredictable stops to admire the changing foliage. If you're driving behind a car with out-of-state plates, give them a little extra space just in case they stop short for a photo.<br />
<br />
<b>Fog</b><br />
Cold fall mornings often lead to fog, which can greatly limit your driving visibility and perception of distance. Fog tends to occur in low places or areas surrounded by hills, water, mountains, and trees. One common mistake drivers make during foggy conditions is putting on their high beams instead of staying with their low beams. This only makes visibility worse because your high beams will bounce off the fog and create glare.<br />
<br />
When driving through fog, slow down and stay well behind the car in front of you so you'll have adequate time to stop if you need to.<br />
<br />
<b>Frost</b><br />
During the fall, temperatures tend to drop dramatically during the night, which can lead to morning frost and icy spots on the road. This is especially common on bridges, overpasses, and shaded areas of the road.<br />
<br />
<b>Sun glare</b><br />
Fall is also a bad time for sun glare on the roads. Sun glare can impact your sight for seconds after exposure, making it hard to see pedestrians, oncoming traffic, or the car in front of you. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, drivers describe being "blinded" after exposure, and this sometimes leads to accidents or near misses.<br />
<br />
Sun glare can also cause problems when the sun sets behind drivers. In this case, sunlight can bounce off your rearview mirror or reflect off traffic lights up ahead, and this can blind you for a split second while your eyes adjust. It can also make it hard (or impossible) to see traffic lights, which can prevent you from knowing if you're supposed to stop or go.<br />
<br />
<b>Deer</b><br />
The fall season brings an increase in deer activity because it's their time for mating and migrating. If you live in a deer-heavy area, watch for darting deer, especially when driving at night.<br />
<br />
<b>Fall Driving Tips</b><br />
<ul>
<li>Being prepared for fall's inclement weather and hazardous driving challenges is half the battle.</li>
<li>Watch your speed: Drive a bit slower when faced with fall driving hazards, especially if you're driving around a school bus.</li>
<li>Keep your distance: Leave a little more space between you and the car in front on rainy or foggy days, during dawn or dusk, and in areas with wet leaves. This will give you more time to react.</li>
<li>Stick with low beams: Keep your headlights on low when driving in the fog (and rain). High beams will only cause glare.</li>
<li>Clear frost away from your windows: Frost can reduce visibility and response time on the road.</li>
<li>Approach traffic lights carefully: Sun glare can make it harder to see traffic lights change, so approach them with more than the normal care.</li>
<li>Avoid using products that increase gloss: Washing and waxing with these products can magnify the fall's sunny glare and make it hard to see.</li>
<li>Clean your windshield, inside and out: When your windshield's illuminated by sunlight, dust particles, streaks, and smudges become magnified, making it hard to see the road.</li>
<li>Watch for wildlife: especially in the early morning and evening hours.</li>
<li>Check your tire pressure: Since fall weather rapidly changes from warm to cold, your tires will often expand and contract. This can lead to a loss of pressure.</li>
</ul>

start.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>1. Choose the Right Car</i><br />
<br />
Let's face it, if you left the decision up to your teen, you would probably end
up with either a huge SUV or a suped up sports car, neither of which is
particularly safe for a young, new driver. However, there are plenty of options
out there to make both you and your teen happy. And with the right research,
you can find a car that is not only fun to drive, but also safe and reliable,
too.<br />
<br />
Choosing a midsize car is the best way to go, according to The Insurance Institute
of Highway Safety and the Insurance Information Institute. Depending on your
budget, you can opt for either a new or used model - just make sure the car is
in good condition with updated safety features like airbags and electronic
stability control. Also, you'll want to check out crash test and safety ratings
before making your final purchase.<br />
<br />
Fuel efficiency is another important factor to consider, especially in today's
economy. Unless you're willing to cover the cost of filling your son or daughter's
tank each week, buying your teen a gas guzzler is probably not a good idea.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>2. Get the Best Auto Insurance Rate</i><br />
<br />
The truth is that no matter what car you choose, insuring your teen driver will
increase your auto insurance rates. But there are some things that you can do
to make these costs as manageable as possible. In fact, another great reason to
opt for safety first at the car dealership is that it can help keep your auto
insurance premiums down. Because safer cars tend to have a lower accident risk,
they are usually less expensive to insure.<br />
<br />
Another way to get the best auto insurance rates possible is to scope out
potential discounts. If your teen is a full-time student, for instance, he or
she may be eligible for a good student discount. Researching your options
beforehand will help you to make an informed decision when trying to find the
right car for your teen.<br />
<br />
<i>3. Set Boundaries</i><br />
<br />
Choosing a good car and purchasing the right auto insurance are only the first
steps in keeping your teen safe on the road. Talking with your teen about safe
driving and setting clear rules and guidelines are also important. To ensure
that your teen stays safe behind the wheel, you can:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Limit the number of passengers your teen can have in his or
her car at any one time;</li>
<li>Establish a "no cell phone" policy to ensure that
your teen does not text or call while driving;</li>
<li>Discuss what to do in cases of emergency, including
accidents and adverse weather conditions.</li>

of your car's systems during the height of summer can help ensure a comfortable
and safe ride.</span></div>
<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Summer can be
tough on cars, especially during high temperatures when heat can destroy
batteries and stress the cooling system and tires. As a precaution, these
vehicle components should be checked periodically during summer to help avoid
breakdowns and car problems, according to the Car Care Council.<br />
<br />
Excessive heat and overcharging shorten the life of a battery. Heat causes
battery fluid to evaporate, which then damages the internal structure of the
battery. A malfunctioning component in the charging system, usually the voltage
regulator, allows too high a charging rate, which will eventually destroy a
battery.<br />
<br />
To get the most life out of a battery, the council recommends having the
electrical system checked to make sure it is charging at the correct rate. If
your car's battery is the type that needs to be topped off, check it often,
especially in hot weather and add distilled water if necessary. Keep the top of
the battery clean. Dirt can become a conductor, which drains battery power. If
corrosion accumulates on battery terminals, it becomes an insulator and
inhibits the current flow.<br />
<br />
The cooling system also works harder during hot temperatures to prevent
overheating of the engine. To keep the cooling system working effectively, the
coolant and distilled water mixture for a vehicle's radiator should be 50:50.
As a reminder, never open a hot radiator cap when checking the coolant level in
the reservoir.<br />
<br />
As a rule of thumb, the coolant should be changed annually on most vehicles.
This will keep the cooling system fresh and clean inside, which helps prevent
corrosion and assures that the coolant has the proper boiling point and
protection. A pressure test, thermostat test, a cooling fan test and a visual
inspection for leaks and corrosion should also be done annually. Hoses and
drive belts should be checked for cracks, bulges or frayed edges.<br />
<br />
The radiator should be kept clean by periodically using a garden hose and a
soft brush to carefully remove bugs, dirt and debris.<br />
<br />
Tires also need special care in warmer weather as high temperatures put added
stress on them. To maximize tire life and safety, check the tire condition and
inflation pressure monthly, and have the tires rotated every 6,000 miles.
Summer heat will cause the pressure within a tire to rise, therefore, it's
important to check the pressure when tires are cold. The owner's manual
includes the recommended air pressure for your vehicle's tires.<br />
<br />
"It takes very little time and money to make sure your car runs properly
during summer, and although breakdowns happen, they can definitely be minimized
by taking a few extra preventive maintenance steps," said Rich White,
executive director, Car Care Council.<br />
<br />
The council reminds motorists that the vehicle's exterior also can be damaged
by sunlight, UV radiation, acid rain, salt, dirt and air pollution. To protect
the paint and finish, vehicles should be washed weekly and waxed every six
months.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #545659; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #545659; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">The 2016 Audi A4 </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #545659; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">arrives with a bang, but no surprises. We say that because the formula for creating the news A4</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #545659; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"> one we know all too well. Make it larger, add a bunch of content, reduce weight, and improve both power and efficiency. It's a recipe for success, and this fifth-generation A4 looks to be a solid contender against its chief rivals, the BMW 3 Series </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #545659; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">and Mercedes-Benz C-Class.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #545659; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #545659; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #545659; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">The shape hasn't changed; it's immediately recognizable as an A4. Instead, this new model updates that familiar design with sharper lines, similar to what we've seen on the new Q7</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #545659; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">, or even the R8</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #545659; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">. The big story here is that the 2016 A4 is up to 264 pounds lighter than its predecessor, depending on trim and engine. Additionally, the A4 is the most aerodynamic car in its class, boasting a drag coefficient of just 0.23.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #545659; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #545659; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #545659; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">A fresh, modern cabin lies within that lighter shell – one that looks decidedly more upscale than the last A4. Many elements are reminiscent of the Audi Prologue Concept </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #545659; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">that we first saw (and drove</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #545659; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">) in Los Angeles last year – specifically, the steering wheel, and the new MMI controls. In fact, Audi </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #545659; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">has positioned its infotainment controls closer to the center console – in front of the gear selector. This reminds us of the current A8</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #545659; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">, where Audi specifically designed its shifter to act as a sort of wrist rest. You can rest your arm on the gear lever and still access all of the MMI functionality. Speaking of which, that's the latest generation of Audi's MMI interface, packing navigation, touch capability, LTE connectivity, and WiFi in the 8.3-inch color display.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #545659; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #545659; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #545659; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Audi isn't saying which engines will come to the United States right now, but when the new A4 launches, it'll be offered with three gasoline and four diesel engines in Europe. Our best guess is that the US-spec car will come with the latest 2.0-liter TSFI turbocharged inline-four with 272 horsepower, as well as Audi's tried-and-true 2.0-liter TDI diesel four. Front- and all-wheel drive will be available, and for the first time, two-wheel-drive models will get a proper dual-clutch transmission – no more CVT.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13934239138982838325noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7386106714829351775.post-73392404158623028132015-06-29T14:54:00.002-07:002015-06-29T14:54:15.286-07:00Camp in style with the new Volkswagen California<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Now in its fourth generation, the California is still unique in the camper van world as it is designed and built in house, by VW itself.</div>
<div id="yui_3_18_1_1_1434658940064_993" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.0000009536743px; line-height: 24.0000019073486px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">
Based on the equally new Volkswagen T6 commercial vehicle, the latest VW camper van gets the option of four-wheel drive and a paddle-shift gearbox for the first time and the vehicle can be specified with adaptive suspension for greater comfort even when fully loaded.</div>
<div id="yui_3_18_1_1_1434658940064_995" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.0000009536743px; line-height: 24.0000019073486px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">
There is also a range of safety systems including Driver Alert -- which monitors activity to make sure the driver is awake -- brake assist for performing emergency stops more rapidly, and post-collision braking for bringing the California to a complete halt immediately after an accident.</div>
<div id="yui_3_18_1_1_1434658940064_997" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.0000009536743px; line-height: 24.0000019073486px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">
In terms of camping comforts, the California can sleep four, has a pop-up roof for improving headroom and concealing a double bed, a fridge, stove, sink and a host of ingenious storage solutions.</div>
<div id="yui_3_18_1_1_1434658940064_999" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.0000009536743px; line-height: 24.0000019073486px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">

Car and Driver is reporting that Volkswagen will no longer use VW Utopia as their official font, opting to go with the new “more contemporary, less geometric” VW OT typeface instead. Created by design consultancy MetaDesign, the new font is “inspired by Volkswagen’s distinctive vehicle design”, and should be making its way to Volkswagen products very soon. We have to wonder though, is this really the best use of Volkswagen’s time and money?</div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: museo-sans; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">
Not to say that a new font couldn’t be found to subconsciously bring customers into dealerships, but we’d wager that some new product and an expanded marketing effort in key markets could do the same thing.

<strong>200 Nm: Highest specific torque of any petrol engine sets new benchmark</strong><br /><strong>99 g/km CO2: Low-emitting Golf TSI BlueMotion attains efficiency class A</strong></div>
<div class="textblock clearfix" style="color: #454545; font-family: museo-sans; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">
<div class="richtext">
<strong>Ten key facts about the new Golf TSI BlueMotion:</strong><br />
<strong>1. Innovative 1.0 TSI offers highest specific torque of any large-scale production series of petrol engines: 200 Nm per litre displacement.</strong><br /><strong>2. First Golf BlueMotion¹ to feature a petrol engine consumes just 4.3 l/100 km</strong><br /><strong>3. Emitting just 99 g/km CO2, the Golf TSI BlueMotion is one of the most eco-friendly cars in its class.</strong><br /><strong>4. Despite its efficiency, the Golf TSI BlueMotion with an 85 kW / 115 PS engine has a top speed of 204 km/h.</strong><br /><strong>5. The downsized 999 cc high-tech, three-cylinder EA211-series engine is as refined as a four-cylinder engine.</strong><br /><strong>6. A 7-speed DSG (with automatic gear changes) is available; this version Golf also consumes just 4.3 l/100 km.</strong><br /><strong>7. The Cd value of 0.28 helps reduce fuel consumption.</strong><br /><strong>8. The Golf TSI BlueMotion is available in two equipment trim levels: Trendline and Comfortline.</strong><br /><strong>9. Golf Estate (4.3 l/100 km)² and Golf Sportsvan (4.5 l/100 km)³ will also launch with a TSI BlueMotion version.</strong><br /><strong>10. Golf offers cutting-edge, progressive networking with Volkswagen Car-Net, Media Control and App Connect.</strong><br />
<ul>
<li>A petrol engine that is as fuel-efficient as a diesel – until recently this was barely conceivable. A three-cylinder engine that is as powerful and refined as a good four-cylinder – that was barely conceivable until just recently. But now it is a reality. This engine exists. The 1.0 TSI from Volkswagen. The German manufacturer will now be installing it in Europe’s most successful car: the Golf. The name of the new high-efficiency model: Golf TSI BlueMotion. Until now, the Golf BlueMotion was only available in diesel (TDI) and natural gas (TGI) versions. The Golf TSI BlueMotion (which can be ordered in the Trendline and Comfortline trim levels) now extends the model range with one of the most economical cars of our time. The combined fuel consumption of the most fuel-efficient petrol-powered Golf ever: 4.3 l/100 km. This fuel consumption equates to incredibly low CO2 emissions of 99 g/km – and the Golf TSI BlueMotion achieves these figures with both the standard 6-speed manual gearbox and the optional 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox (DSG). At the same time, the Golf Estate and Golf Sportsvan will launch as TSI BlueMotion models. With a manual gearbox, the Golf Estate also consumes 4.3 l/100 km; with DSG the figure is 4.5 l/100 km. For the Golf Sportsvan, the figures are 4.5 (manual) and 4.6 l/100 km (DSG).</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Specific torque of a sports car. The 1.0 TSI on-board the Golf TSI BlueMotion is the first large-scale production petrol engine to attain a specific torque of 200 Nm per litre displacement. The maximum power of the three-cylinder engine – 85 kW / 115 PS – lies just above the level of the first generation Golf GTI (110 PS). In terms of responsiveness and top speed, the Golf TSI BlueMotion can reach 204 km/h and so surpasses the legend (182 km/h). When it comes to fuel consumption, it even beats the first diesel-powered Golf TDI BlueMotion (4.5 l/100 km). Clearly, the Golf TSI BlueMotion – a five-seater, and optional four-door all-round car that does not require even a hint of compromise from its owners despite its efficiency – is defining a new benchmark among petrol models in its class with diesel-like fuel consumption figures.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Affordable. With the lowest price tag of any Golf BlueMotion version, the TSI model is extremely affordable. In Germany, the Golf TSI BlueMotion Trendline costs 20,450 euros – and includes standard features such as air conditioning, seven airbags, Automatic Post-Collision Braking System, XDS electronic differential lock, start/stop system with brake energy recovery, model-specific rear spoiler in body colour, sport suspension (body is 15 mm lower) and BlueMotion 15-inch “Lyon” wheels.</li>

Maybe EVs aren’t inevitable after all. Audi, together with the German energy company Sunfire, has announced that it is able to synthesize diesel from water and CO2, and that the product can fuel automobiles.<span id="more-208257"></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #313131; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 20px; list-style-type: none; margin: 0px 0px 10px; orphans: auto; padding: 0px; position: relative; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
The process involves heating water to 800 degrees Celsius, creating steam. Electricity—from a green-energy power source, naturally, biomass in this case—heats the water, and the resulting high-temperature electrolysis breaks it down into hydrogen and oxygen. The oxygen is released, and the hydrogen is combined with CO2 taken from the atmosphere. Under high heat and pressure, the two synthesize to create a liquid known as blue crude. The blue crude is refined into what Audi calls e-diesel.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #313131; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 20px; list-style-type: none; margin: 0px 0px 10px; orphans: auto; padding: 0px; position: relative; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
So far, e-diesel is being mixed with traditional diesel, but it could potentially be used as a fuel on its own. The e-diesel is claimed to be sulfur-free and cleaner-burning than standard diesel. The first five liters went into the tank of an <a href="http://www.caranddriver.com/audi/a8" style="color: #099adb; text-decoration: none;">Audi A8</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>3.0 TDI driven by Germany’s Minister of Research.</div>

Audi and Sunfire claim that the process to make e-diesel is 70 percent efficient. They estimate that once production is ramped up, the cost to consumers in Europe would be comparable to traditional diesel, at 1.00 to 1.50 euro per liter (approximately $4.00 to $6.00 per gallon).</div>

Volkswagen
of America, Inc. announced pricing on the 2015 Passat Limited Edition
model. The Limited Edition model will have a starting MSRP of $23,995
(plus transportation) and supersedes the Wolfsburg and SE models from
the current model year.</div>

The
new Limited Edition model offers a great value: compared with the
automatic transmission S model, it has $2,755 of additional equipment,
but costs just $1,555 more. The Limited Edition model introduces the
following standard equipment above the S: 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels;
KESSY® keyless access with push-button start; a rearview camera; V-tex
leatherette seating surfaces; heatable front seats; a power eight-way
driver’s seat with power lumbar; a touchscreen radio with SiriusXM®
Satellite Radio capability; 8-speaker sound system; a leather-wrapped
steering wheel, parking brake, and shifter; chrome window surrounds; and
front foglights.</div>

The
Chattanooga, Tenn.-built Passat Limited Edition comes standard with the
award-winning 1.8-liter, turbocharged and direct-injection EA288 TSI®
four-cylinder engine, mated to Volkswagen’s smooth shifting six-speed
automatic transmission. This highly efficient powerplant offers an
estimated EPA fuel economy rating of 24 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on
the highway. Like the rest of the Passat range, the 2015 Limited Edition
model offers class-leading rear-seat legroom, a voluminous 15.9 cubic
foot trunk, and German-engineered ride and handling.</div>

<br />
The 2015 European Car of the Year winner is the <a href="http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1093119_2015-volkswagen-passat-european-spec-revealed" style="color: #357790; text-decoration: none;">Volkswagen Passat</a>, with the stylish sedan and wagon beating out <a href="http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1093494_2015-european-car-of-the-year-nominees-announced" style="color: #357790; text-decoration: none;">some very lame competition</a> in
the final round of voting, such as BMW’s unsightly 2-Series Active
Tourer, the Ford Motor Company’s [NYSE:F] Mondeo (which is actually just
a version of the Fusion on sale for several years already), and
Renault’s Twingo minicar. The only credible rival on the list is
Mercedes-Benz’s new C-Class, which came third overall. Second place went
to Citroën and its unconventional C4 Cactus.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Crimson Text', Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 20px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">

However,
the Passat won the award with a very wide margin. The judges awarded it
with 340 points versus the 248 of the C4 Cactus and 221 of the C-Class.
Note, we’re talking about the Passat sold outside the U.S. It was
picked because of its advanced technology, handsome design and wide
variety of configurations. The judge’s also noted the car’s excellent
road behaviour and comfortable ride, which create its fun-to-drive
character. </div>

The
task of choosing the winner of the European Car of the Year award is
handled each year by a panel of judges that represent 22 European
countries, made up mostly of journalists and other members of the auto
industry. For a car to be eligible, it has to be a new vehicle available
now or before year’s end in five or more European markets. The car must
also have the prospect of at least 5,000 annual sales, thus ruling out
many of the exotic supercars Europe is renowned for.</div>

“We
are extremely proud of this accolade,” Volkswagen Group CEO Martin
Winterkorn said in a statement. “In the new Passat, we have again
succeeded in developing a car that sets the standards for its class in
terms of technology and quality—this honor is a tremendous confirmation
for the work of our engineers, designers and the entire team."</div>

After a long run on the market, <a href="http://www.importsbyday.com/inventory/view/Make/Audi/Model/Q7/New/SortBy0/">Audi</a> has finally signaled the end of the first-generation <a href="http://www.importsbyday.com/inventory/view/Make/Audi/Model/Q7/New/SortBy0/">Q7</a> with the introduction of the long-awaited second-gen version of the brand's first crossover.<br /><br />The 2016 Q7 is a far lighter machine than the vehicle it replaces, thanks to ample use of hot-shaped steel and aluminum. Beyond that, the Volkswagen Group's MLB platform will allow the fullsize Audi to accommodate a range of engines, including more potent versions of the US market's 3.0-liter, supercharged V6 and 3.0-liter TDI. On top of that, the next-gen Q7 will also be available as a diesel plug-in hybrid, complete with a version of the brand's Quattro all-wheel-drive system.<br /><br />The Q7's new design, meanwhile, gives the car an almost wagon-like appearance and profile. The "Singleframe" grille is wrapped in an aluminum-looking surround, not unlike Audi's smaller <a href="http://www.importsbyday.com/inventory/view/Make/Audi/Model/RS%205/New/SortBy0/">RS Q3</a>. Audi's cleanly styled headlights flank it, while the large taillights aren't as aggressively angled as Audi's other crossovers.<br /><br />The cabin is lavish, featuring a typically stylish design with plenty of tech. A 12.3-inch TFT display takes the place of a conventional instrument cluster, while the center stack is crowned by its very own display. Even the HVAC display controls are handsome.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13934239138982838325noreply@blogger.com0Monroeville, PA, USA40.4211798 -79.78810240000001440.3244768 -79.949463900000012 40.517882799999995 -79.626740900000016tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7386106714829351775.post-62525495839083109772015-02-10T07:29:00.000-08:002015-02-10T07:29:00.154-08:00Volkswagen Cross Coupe GTE is a sleek take on brand's future CUV | Imports by Day<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<a href="http://www.importsbyday.com/inventory/view/Make/Volkswagen/New/SortBy0/">Volkswagen</a>
continues its long tease leading up to an eventual US-built,
seven-passenger, three-row crossover with the Cross Coupe GTE at the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/detroit-auto-show/">2015 Detroit Auto Show</a>.<br />
<br />
While
it's still affixed with the tinsel of a concept car, there are a lot of
details that will arrive on VW's eventual production crossover. The
wheelbase of the GTE is said to be identical to the production model,
although this five-passenger CUV is actually about a foot shorter
overall, Volkswagen's chief of design, Klaus Bischoff, told Autoblog.<br />
<br />
The
overall shape of the GTE's greenhouse, meanwhile, will also be very
similar to the car that'll come to market, although more progressive
from the C-pillar forward (that's right kids, that sexy sloping rear end
isn't for production). Despite the aggressive rake, a peek in the GTE's
trunk revealed room for the CUV's third row.<br />
<br />
Beyond
hinting at a new addition to the company's lineup, the GTE also gives us
a look at future Volkswagen design, including the use of four-element
LED running lamps. Body lines will be as sharp as is feasible.<br />
<br />
Look for the production version of Volkswagen's seven-passenger SUV at the end of next year.<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #545659; display: inline !important; float: none; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13934239138982838325noreply@blogger.com0Monroeville, PA, USA40.4211798 -79.78810240000001440.3244768 -79.949463900000012 40.517882799999995 -79.626740900000016tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7386106714829351775.post-6016626618070658202015-01-29T10:49:00.000-08:002015-01-29T10:49:00.252-08:00What to look for in a Car for your Teen Driver | Imports by Day Monroeville PA<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

If you ask any teenager what they are looking forward to doing the most as
they get older, at the top of most lists is probably being able to drive. After
all, being licensed to drive gives teens a great sense of freedom – they can
now come and go as they please; they are no longer dependent on mom and dad to
get them where they need to go.<br />
<br />
However, the time when teens begin to drive can potentially be the most deadly.
Every day<a href="http://www.cdc.gov/motorvehiclesafety/teen_drivers/teendrivers_factsheet.html">seven
teens ages 16 to 19</a> die from injuries sustained in a motor vehicle crash.
And the crash rate is <a href="http://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/?1dmy&urile=wcm:path:/dmv_content_en/dmv/teenweb/more_btn6/traffic/traffic">3.7
times higher</a> for 16 year old drivers compared to drivers all of all ages,
and 2.7 higher for drivers aged 16 to 19.<br />
<br />
For parents that are conducting a used cars search for appropriate vehicle
options for their teen drivers, how can they help them stay as safe as
possible? Here’s a look at five in-car options to look for during their used
cars search.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h2>
Side Airbags</h2>
Although everybody knows about airbags as a safety component in vehicles,
some may not realize the importance of side airbags. A <a href="http://www.iihs.org/iihs/news/desktopnews/side-airbags-substantially-reduce-death-risk-in-cars-and-suvs-those-that-protect-peoples-heads-are-especially-effective">study
conducted in 2006</a> conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety
found side airbags that protected driver’s heads helped reduce deaths in cars
that were hit on the driver side by about 37 percent.<br />
<h2>
Electronic Stability Control</h2>
ESC works through speed sensors that are placed on all wheels and the
steering wheel to help drivers when on roads that are slippery or very curved.<br />
<br />
If the ESC system notices the vehicle is about to go in an opposite direction
from where the steering wheel is pointed, is will break the necessary wheels to
help keep the car under control. ESC can be found vehicles from 2012, and even
earlier.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Crash Avoidance Technology</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Over the past few years, vehicle manufacturers have unveiled
a crop of new applications to help drivers avoid car accidents. These <a href="http://www.iihs.org/iihs/topics/t/crash-avoidance-technologies/topicoverview">crash
avoidance technologies</a> work by providing the driver with warnings, or in
some instances even automatically putting on the brakes. Examples of these
technologies to look for in a used cars search include blind spot detection,
adaptive headlights, lane departure warning, and front crash prevention.</div>
<h2>
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
An ABS is another <a href="http://www.nhtsa.gov/cars/problems/equipment/absbrakes.html">safeguard
against slippery roads</a>, as well as inexperienced young drives that may find
themselves “panic braking” in certain situations. The ABS helps ensure the
brakes on a car do not lock up, which could cause a driver to lose control of
the vehicle. ABS on the rear wheels allows the vehicle to keep moving in a
straight line, while ABS on all wheels allows the driver to maintain steering
capabilities.</div>
<h2>
Seat Belt Reminder System</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-outline-level: 3;">
Although the “ding, ding, ding” that
reminds you to buckle up every time you’re in the car can be rather annoying,
studies show they do save lives. For instance, a <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18836955">study published in 2008</a>
found 97.5 percent of passengers put on a seat belt when in a vehicle with a
reminder system, while only about 86 percent did in cars without a reminder.
And teens need all the reminders they can — a 2002 study found that only 69
percent of teens ages 16 to 24 wear their seat belts, and more than two-thirds
of teens killed in car crashes were not wearing seat belts.</div>

the purchase of your next used vehicle to save money, you may want to
reconsider. Even though you can often find deals to save money up front, it
usually comes back to bite you.<br />
<br />
Simply put, getting a good deal on a used car spans beyond the purchase price.
You also must consider the little things that accompany the monthly payment
such as insurance, gas, maintenance and repairs. This may seem like a lot to
afford, but it doesn’t necessarily mean you won’t be able to afford the used
car of your dreams.<br />
<br />
The costs of owning your ride is decreasing as time goes on. On average, the
monthly operating and ownership costs associated with owning a sedan is $739.67
(or $8,876 per year), according to a recent report released by AAA. Operating
costs include gas, maintenance and tires whereas ownership costs include
full-coverage insurance, license, registration, taxes, depreciation and finance
charges.<br />

Here’s a detailed breakdown of their findings by vehicle type, based on a
15,000 annual mileage:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />
If you are blown away by these figures, don’t start worrying yet. Here are some
things to consider when shopping that can help you save later on down the line:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Wouldn’t it be grand if all cars
could run off of oxygen? Unfortunately, cars need gas, and gas is expensive.
Even hybrids require gas to function. Bummer.<br />
<br />
So, when you’re shopping, you’ll need to pay attention to the fuel economy
ratings, both on the highway and in the city. Put this expense into your car
budget, and see how often you can afford to fill your tank. Even though you
can’t control gas prices, you can control how much you spend to fill up your
tank each week.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Extended warranties are great, but
they typically only cover major repairs. That means you’re on your own with the
day-to-day maintenance. It’s probably not a good idea to pick out the shiniest
model on the lot without first taking a moment to figure out the anticipated
maintenance costs. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Generally speaking, the older the
model and the higher the mileage, the more costly the maintenance. You also
might want to get the maintenance records to see if the vehicle was properly
cared for by its prior owner.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Don’t forget to take a peek at the
tires. If they are extremely worn, they will need to be replaced, which can set
you back hundreds of dollars out the gate.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Besides the cost of the monthly
payment, car insurance is a top expense for your car. Unfortunately, it’s
illegal not to carry coverage if you live in any state except for New
Hampshire, so insurance is an expense you can’t avoid. But, the year, make and
model of your car can affect the cost of your insurance. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Unless you seriously intend to drive
the vehicle until the wheels fall off, you’ll want to purchase something that
holds value. Otherwise, be prepared to fork over the difference between the
sales price and what you owe when you want to sell or trade it in for a new set
of wheels. Don’t let bargains on the purchase price fool you. Before putting any
money down, look at the current asking price compared to older models to gain
some insight on depreciation. And, steer clear of rebuilt or salvaged vehicles
if you intend to earn any equity in your vehicle.<br />
<br />
Bottom line, there is more to owning a car than just the car payments. You need
to set a budget that includes all of the costs so you can see what you can
reasonably afford.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Severe weather can be both frightening and dangerous for
automobile travel. Motorists should know the safety rules for dealing with
winter road emergencies. We want to remind motorists to be cautious while
driving in adverse weather. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>We recommend the following winter driving tips:</b></div>
<ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l2 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;">Avoid
driving while you’re fatigued. Getting the proper amount of rest before
taking on winter weather tasks reduces driving risks.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l2 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;">Never
warm up a vehicle in an enclosed area, such as a garage.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l2 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;">Make
certain your tires are properly inflated.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l2 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;">Never
mix radial tires with other tire types.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l2 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;">Keep
your gas tank at least half full to avoid gas line freeze-up.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l2 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;">If
possible, avoid using your parking brake in cold, rainy and snowy weather.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l2 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;">Do not
use cruise control when driving on any slippery surface (wet, ice, sand).</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l2 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;">Always
look and steer where you want to go.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l2 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;">Use
your seat belt every time you get into your vehicle.</li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Tips for long-distance winter trips:</b></div>
<ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;">Watch
weather reports prior to a long-distance drive or before driving in
isolated areas. Delay trips when especially bad weather is expected. If
you must leave, let others know your route, destination and estimated time
of arrival.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;">Always
make sure your vehicle is in peak operating condition.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;">Keep
at least half a tank of gasoline in your vehicle at all times.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;">Pack a
cellular telephone plus blankets, gloves, hats, food, water and any needed
medication in your vehicle.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;">If you
become snow-bound, stay with your vehicle. It provides temporary shelter
and makes it easier for rescuers to locate you. Don’t try to walk in a
severe storm. It’s easy to lose sight of your vehicle in blowing snow and
become lost.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;">Don’t
over exert yourself if you try to push or dig your vehicle out of the
snow.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;">Tie a
brightly colored cloth to the antenna or place a cloth at the top of a
rolled up window to signal distress. At night, keep the dome light on if
possible. It only uses a small amount of electricity and will make it
easier for rescuers to find you.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;">Make
sure the exhaust pipe isn’t clogged with snow, ice or mud. A blocked
exhaust could cause deadly carbon monoxide gas to leak into the passenger
compartment with the engine running.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;">Use
whatever is available to insulate your body from the cold. This could
include floor mats, newspapers or paper maps.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;">If
possible run the engine and heater just long enough to remove the chill
and to conserve gasoline.</li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Tips for driving in the snow:</b></div>
<ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l1 level1 lfo3; tab-stops: list .5in;">Accelerate
and decelerate slowly. Applying the gas slowly to accelerate is the best
method for regaining traction and avoiding skids. Don’t try to get moving
in a hurry. And take time to slow down for a stoplight. Remember: It takes
longer to slow down on icy roads.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l1 level1 lfo3; tab-stops: list .5in;">Drive
slowly. Everything takes longer on snow-covered roads. Accelerating,
stopping, turning – nothing happens as quickly as on dry pavement. Give
yourself time to maneuver by driving slowly.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l1 level1 lfo3; tab-stops: list .5in;">The
normal dry pavement following distance of three to four seconds
should be increased to eight to ten seconds. This increased margin of
safety will provide the longer distance needed if you have to stop.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l1 level1 lfo3; tab-stops: list .5in;">Know
your brakes. Whether you have antilock brakes or not, the best way to stop
is threshold breaking. Keep the heel of your foot on the floor and use the
ball of your foot to apply firm, steady pressure on the brake pedal.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l1 level1 lfo3; tab-stops: list .5in;">Don’t
stop if you can avoid it. There’s a big difference in the amount of
inertia it takes to start moving from a full stop versus how much it takes
to get moving while still rolling. If you can slow down enough to keep
rolling until a traffic light changes, do it.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l1 level1 lfo3; tab-stops: list .5in;">Don’t
power up hills. Applying extra gas on snow-covered roads just starts your
wheels spinning. Try to get a little inertia going before you reach the
hill and let that inertia carry you to the top. As you reach the crest of
the hill, reduce your speed and proceed downhill as slowly as possible.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l1 level1 lfo3; tab-stops: list .5in;">Don’t
stop going up a hill. There’s nothing worse than trying to get moving up a
hill on an icy road. Get some inertia going on a flat roadway before you
take on the hill.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l1 level1 lfo3; tab-stops: list .5in;">Stay
home. If you really don’t have to go out, don’t. Even if you can drive
well in the snow, not everyone else can. Don’t tempt fate: If you don’t
have somewhere you have to be, watch the snow from indoors.</li>

Well, that was quick. A mere 20 months after its debut at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, <a href="http://<iframe width="628" height="353" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/htd8ihs6qng" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>">Audi</a> has issued a fairly significant update to its RS <a href="http://www.importsbyday.com/inventory/view/Make/Audi/Model/Q3/New/SortBy0/">Q3 crossover</a>. A light exterior refresh – the most noticeable change is that the grille surround and headlights are now joined – belies more significant changes under the compact crossover's hood.<br />
<br />
Power from the 2.5-liter, turbocharged five-cylinder has been boosted nicely from 310 horsepower to 340, while torque has jumped from 309 pound-feet to 332 lb-ft. The result of this extra thrust is that the tiny CUV can now scamper to 62 miles per hour in a seriously quick 4.8 seconds, rather than the original <a href="http://www.importsbyday.com/inventory/view/Make/Audi/Model/Q3/New/SortBy0/">RS Q3</a>'s 5.5-second sprint. A new fifth-generation multi-plate clutch is fitted to the seven-speed S-tronic dual-clutch transmission, which Audi claims will now deliver even quicker shifts.<br />
<br />
Lighter brake rotors with ridiculous eight-piston calipers in the front provide what we imagine is a lot of stopping power, while Audi continues to offer an optional adaptive damper system. 19-inch wheels are standard while 20s are optional.<br />

The Subaru WRX, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution and just about every other all-wheel-drive performance car owes something to the legendary <a href="http://www.importsbyday.com/inventory/view/Make/Audi/New/SortBy0/">Audi</a> Quattro, a model that was far more successful on the motorsports scene than it was in the showroom. Despite its modest sales, the UrQuattro still looms large in automotive lore, and indeed, in Audi's own sense of self. Considering the brand's semi-regular flirtation with the idea of a reborn Quattro, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/motor+week/">MotorWeek</a> must have figured it'd be a good idea to revisit the original by digging up this archival review.<br /><br />While time has the ability to cover up the warts of iconic automobiles, it should be noted that Motor Weekhost John Davis had more than a few critiques for the all-wheel-drive, turbocharged coupe.<br />Davis calls the Quattro's slalom handling "a disappointment," citing the overpowered engine and slow steering, and he had some unkind words for the brakes, as well. For our part, we're kind of wowed by the amount of ship-like body motion during testing, yet that sort of bobbing was certainly par for the course back in the early '80s.<br /><br />But that's enough from us. Sit back, relax, and take a look in the rearview mirror at MotorWeek's review of the 1983 <a href="http://www.importsbyday.com/inventory/view/Make/Audi/New/SortBy0/">Audi</a> Quattro. <span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #404040; display: inline !important; float: none; font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 16px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><br /></span></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13934239138982838325noreply@blogger.com0Monroeville, PA, USA40.4211798 -79.78810240000001440.3244768 -79.949463900000012 40.517882799999995 -79.626740900000016tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7386106714829351775.post-90691402526056793562014-11-13T13:17:00.000-08:002014-11-13T13:17:00.707-08:002015 Volkswagen Golf: Green Car Reports' Best Car To Buy 2015 | Imports by Day <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="340" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/O4jmJI2Zzzg" width="460"></iframe>
<br /><br />The <a href="http://www.importsbyday.com/inventory/view/Make/Volkswagen/Model/Golf/New/SortBy0/">2015 Volkswagen Golf</a> range--that our editors chose as the winner this year. It's also the car our readers' poll selected as well.<br /><br />The <a href="http://www.importsbyday.com/inventory/view/Make/Volkswagen/Model/Golf/New/SortBy0/">2015 Golf</a> range is our recommendation as Green Car Reports' Best Car To Buy (and the first European brand winner since the award started five years ago).<br /><br />The compact five-door <a href="http://www.importsbyday.com/inventory/view/Make/Volkswagen/Model/Golf/New/SortBy0/">Golf</a>, now in its seventh generation, is both lighter and more spacious inside.<br /><br />It It comes with expanded features and electronic safety systems, while retaining the Golf's fun-to-drive quotient.<br /><br />It's the wide selection of powertrains that gives the <a href="http://www.importsbyday.com/inventory/view/Make/Volkswagen/Model/Golf/New/SortBy0/">Golf</a> the gold this year.<br /><br />From a pair of turbocharged gasoline engines to an all-new TDI turbodiesel (also found in the A3, but at a higher Audi sticker price), the combustion-engined Golfs get better fuel-efficiency ratings than the outgoing models<br /><br />Then there's the Volkswagen e-Golf, VW's first-ever all-electric car and zero-emission vehicle.<br /><br />So far, we haven't spent long enough in the e-Golf to test its real-world range or efficiency.<br /><br />But for the diesel, the <a href="http://www.importsbyday.com/inventory/view/Make/Volkswagen/Model/Golf/New/SortBy0/">Golf</a> TDI is rated at 36 mpg combined--and like many diesels, it overachieved on its EPA rating, giving us a genuine 48 mpg in a week of real-world use.<br />
<br />That's largely equivalent to real-world Toyota Prius results, with the added bonus of driving pleasure that the Prius just can't provide.<br /><br />Whichever Golf you choose, you'll get fuel efficiency and fun in equal measure--and that applies as well to the Volkswagen e-Golf.<br /><br />It's simply the most "normal" electric car we've ever driven.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13934239138982838325noreply@blogger.com0Monroeville, PA, USA40.4211798 -79.78810240000001440.3244768 -79.949463900000012 40.517882799999995 -79.626740900000016tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7386106714829351775.post-10507958359205712852014-10-31T19:00:00.000-07:002014-10-31T19:00:05.089-07:00Volkswagen rolls out sporty Street Up!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The most basic Premium Plus trim (an interesting renaming of "entry level" we'll grant you) starts at $41,100 before destination, while the higher-content Prestige asks $47,000. The extra six grand buys you full LED lighting, tri-zone climate control, S model appearance upgrades like quad exhaust tips and a more advanced infotainment suite with Bang & Olufsen sound.</span><br style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 10px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;" /><br style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 10px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;" /><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #404040; display: inline !important; float: none; font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 16px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">Nine paint options are available at launch, though only one, Brilliant Black, comes without an additional upcharge. Most of the other hues will run you an extra $550, though if you're sweet on the looks of the Panther Black Crystal (seen above), you'll have to shell out $1,075 for the look. Your choice of three interior colorways are all cost-free options, however.</span><br style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 10px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;" /><br style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 10px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;" /><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #404040; display: inline !important; float: none; font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 16px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">There are really only two options packages beyond the trim level differences: a technology pack for $1,400 and a performance pack for $1,500. The performance upgrades include 19-inch five spoke wheels (an inch larger than the standard rolling stock, with the same 225-section tires), and Audi's magnetic ride control. The tech pack brings lane assist and adaptive cruise to help you crush those long road trips, along with an emergency city braking system for low-speed stops and a front camera with distance sensor for tight parking spots.</span><br style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 10px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;" /><br style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 10px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;" /><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #404040; display: inline !important; float: none; font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 16px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">Finally, if you intend on putting folks (young or old) in the small rear seating area, we'd recommend dropping the $350 extra for rear side airbags. Always hoon responsibly.</span><br />

Maybe they run a few miles along a predetermined test route or take a quick run down the highway.

Jackson and his wife, Angela, told the CBC that the tech put about 500 kilometers on the car (about 310 miles) over the weekend.</span><br style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 10px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;" /><br style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 10px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;" /><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #404040; display: inline !important; float: none; font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 16px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">What do you think?
