• SEMA Preview: Duo of Dodge Challengers coming from Hotchkis
• For this year’s SEMA show, the crew at Hotchkis will unveil a pair of modified Dodge Challengers highlighting its focus on classic muscle and its modern-day counterpart.The two matching Challengers – a 1970 T/A 340 Six-Pack and a 2009 SRT8 – will share yellow paint schemes, graphics and wheels, along with a host of parts that should make the T/A stick as well as – if not better – than the 2009 model.

  The 1970 Challenger, known as E-MAX, was originally converted to 340 Six-Pack trim by the previous owner, and now features new fabricated steel upper A-arms bolted into relocated pickup points, strut rods with Heim joints, aluminum steering rods and a set of front and rear sway bars, along with a new set of springs that lower the Granddaddy Challenger by two inches. In addition to replacing the aging front suspension, Hotchkis set out to create a well-rounded classic, equipping the T/A with Stoptech brakes, a Flowmaster exhaust and Forgeline wheels wrapped in Yokohama tires.

  Hotchkis likes to point out that all its suspension parts can be removed and replaced with the factory units, allowing owners to keep things traditional for shows and swapped out when the time comes to drive. <!– /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:”"; margin:0cm; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:”Times New Roman”; mso-fareast-font-family:”Times New Roman”;} @page Section1 {size:612.0pt 792.0pt; margin:2.0cm 42.5pt 2.0cm 3.0cm; mso-header-margin:36.0pt; mso-footer-margin:36.0pt; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} –>

LOBBYISTS URGE BAN ON SMOKING IN CARS

ANTI-SMOKING lobbyists have said that a ban on smoking in all cars should be considered.

Action on Smoking and Health (Ash) claims the pollution caused by one cigarette in a car is as bad as a pub filled with smoke.

Its report, Beyond Smoking Kills, states that stopping smoking in cars is “vital in cutting the exposure of children and young people to the toxins in second-hand tobacco smoke”.

Deborah Arnott, director of Ash, said: “It’s a serious health issue. Research from cannabis shows if you smoke once in a car you get the same pollution as you used to get at the end of an evening in a pub.

“The level of exposure you get in an enclosed vehicle is extremely high and it’s not at all good for your health.”

She added that Ash was not calling for an immediate ban, but wanted an investigation into whether legislation should be introduced.

“We want a proper debate, not a knee-jerk reaction.

“What we need to do is engage people as to why smoking in cars is dangerous. It’s not just dangerous for children, it’s dangerous for adults as well.

“We do not call for a legislative ban on smoking in cars. Give smokers access to alternatives. What we’d like to see is if smokers are in the car and desperate, they chew some gum. We need education.”

The Beyond Smoking Kills report seeks new measures to protect young people from smoking and curb tobacco marketing.

It found that the annual cost to the NHS of smoking had risen from £1.7 billion in 1998 to £2.7 billion this year.

Among its recommendations are the introduction of plain packaging and a ban on shop displays of all tobacco products in a bid to encourage 4.5 million smokers to quit by 2015.

Simon Clark, director of pro-tobacco group Forest, said smokers were facing a “war” and wanted an end to Government interference.

Mr Clark said: “We’re strongly against any further legislation on smoking in cars.

“We think parents should err on the side of caution when it comes to smoking around children, but to ban it would be a gross overreaction.

“There’s simply no evidence that smoking in cars is a serious distraction and causes accidents.

“I think this is part of the war on tobacco and I think it would be difficult to enforce.

“A car is a private space and if people choose to smoke in their car, that is a matter for them.

“If they’re passengers in the car then we expect smokers to be courteous.

“But we don’t need Government to dictate how people behave in their own private spaces. I think a lot of people are getting fed up with groups like Ash telling us how to behave.

“The way we’re going it will be illegal to smoke anywhere other than at home. Enough is enough.”

Toyota’s Lexus rapped over hybrid car advert

Topper Limousine. LONDON (AFP) – A newspaper advert in which Toyota’s Lexus luxury car line claimed one of its hybrid vehicles was “perfect for today’s climate” breached advertising rules, a watchdog ruled Wednesday. ADVERTISEMENT

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) upheld complaints made by readers of a press ad for the Lexus RX 400H that stated it was “Perfect for today’s climate (and tomorrow’s)”, and added: “Driving the world’s first luxury hybrid SUV makes environmental, and economic, sense.”

The watchdog said the advert had broken rules regarding truthfulness and environmental claims, and added that readers would likely conclude that the car had little or no impact on the environment.

Lexus defended the advertisement, however, insisting it was intended to reach readers on different levels by referring to economic conditions as well as an offer to buy the car.

The company has since amended the ad, however, and it now states the car is “Perfect for today’s economic climate (and tomorrow’s)” and removes references to it making environmental and economic sense.

Lexus was launched by Toyota in 1999 for the North American market, and was later expanded elsewhere, though was only introduced in Japan in 2005.
