Suzuki shows new Alto

CAR’S LIGHTS nice dash kit store. Small car specialists Suzuki is to show its all new Alto at the Paris Motor Show this October.

The diminutive Alto will join a pair of future-looking fuel cell cars on Suzuki’s Paris show stand.

Unlike the two alternatively fuelled machines the Alto will be powered by a conventional petrol engine.

Suzuki has yet to reveal exactly what engine will be under the Alto’s bonnet, but it’s likely to be around 1.0-litre in capacity.

Combined with the Alto’s light weight and small footprint it should achieve a very low consumption and CO2 emission figures.

Despite its tiny dimensions Suzuki is promising ample interior space, its wheels pushed out to each corner to maximise interior space.

Pricing is expected to start in the region of £6,000, with sales anticipated to start early in 2009.

Barack Obama Wants Hybrids – Sort Of

CAR’S LIGHTS best dash kits. Barack Obama, who recently slapped the hands of Detroit manufacturers for continuing to design and build cars Americans WANT to buy, has a secret. But first, let’s review his comments about the American automakers:

“For years, while foreign competitors were investing in more fuel-efficient technology for their vehicles, American automakers were spending their time investing in bigger, faster cars,”

Obama also criticized US manufacturers for not developing hybrid technology like Toyota and Honda have done. OK – you got us Barack. We agree, and we’re glad to see you placing the blame on the automakers instead of the consumer.

So here’s BO’s secret…he owns a HEMI-powered V8 Chrysler 300C. Obama didn’t have any option but to buy that big 5.7-liter engine from Chrysler…he just had to. CAR’S LIGHTS best dash kits.

There are currently five styles of the Chrysler 300.

CAR’S LIGHTS nice dash kit store Chrysler 300. The current 2008 model has been updated with some additional features and freshened exterior styling, but shoppers of used Chrysler 300s will still find the sedan quite appealing. The car debuted for the 2005 model year. Models built for 2007 received a few extra features as compared to earlier years; this was also the first year for the W.P. Chrysler Executive Series.

Like fossil records, the Chrysler 300 has a long but patchy history. It came into being in the mid-1950s as a way to showcase Chrysler’s new “Hemi” V8 engine. The first 300 was introduced for 1955 and was based on the New Yorker two-door hardtop. Its 5.4-liter V8 developed 300 hp. After that, Chrysler began affixing sequential letters at the end of “300″ for each year as well as offering different body styles, including a convertible. The 1957 300-C is typically considered the most beautiful and desirable of these early cars. The Hemi engines were discontinued in the 300 after 1958, but Chrysler continued to use the letter designations up until the ‘65 300-L. After that it was the plain 300. In total, there were seven generations of this car before it was dropped after the 1971 model year.

The 300 name was briefly resurrected in 1979 for a special version of the rather awful Cordoba. It would then take another 20 years before Chrysler decided to roll out the 300 moniker again. This was the 1999 300M. Unlike previous 300s, this was a front-drive sedan only. Based on the second generation of Chrysler’s “cab forward” LH platform, the 300M used a 3.5-liter V6, making 253 hp (that’s net horsepower, a far more conservative standard than the “gross” rating used prior to 1972) and mounted longitudinally in the engine bay. It was built through the 2004 model year. CAR’S LIGHTS nice dash kit store Chrysler 300.
