Woehoe!

Stoere Ridder van de Carrousel heeft voor een veel minder walgelijk bedrag een nieuwe Polo 1.9 TDI gestrikt. 45000 km's en slechts 2 jaar oud, dat allemaal voor 11000 euro. Met veel toeters en bellen, zuinig, vlot, genoeg ruimte, spiksplinternieuw. En hij wordt gekeurd voor verkoop. Perfect! Binnenkort zal je ons dus zien rondtoeren in een donkergrijs schattig Polo'tje. Ik kijk er al naar uit! Voorproefje:

Is ie niet schattig?

Kus,
Lauren Leigh

He's still got to do the floorboards so it will be a few more weeks.  He gave me the tire specs and I need to go buy some tires and bring them to him and he will put them on for me.  Apparently they may not make that size anymore.  (How can you just stop making a tire?)  I stopped by my regular tire place and the owner wasn't in and the other guy couldn't find that size in the computer - he did find the alternate size "that will probably work" but none in stock.  I don't need them now - it's not like I'm going to drive over to Sumter with a truck full of tires during a tropical storm so I'll check around next week.  :)

Kids are here so I'm sure there will be another update...

Mercedesfahrer, das glauben die Befragten, sind normalerweise alt, seriös und spießig. Hinter dem Steuer eines Audis, immerhin auch eine Premiummarke, sitzen dagegen jüngere und besser gelaunte "Aufsteiger" mit Sex-Appeal.

Noch jünger werden BMW-Fahrer eingeschätzt. BMW ist zugleich die Marke, die als am "männlichsten" gesehen wird. Außerdem haftet den Fahrern das Image an, Raser zu sein...

Und nur Porschefahrer treten noch mehr ins Gas, wenn es nach den Befragten geht. Die haben den BMW-Fahrern aber noch den größeren beruflichen Erfolg voraus. Außerdem werden sie noch in einigen anderen Kategorien auf Rang 1 gereiht: Sie gelten als besonders sportlich, besonders draufgängerisch, besonders arrogant und besonders attraktiv. Außerdem soll es sich bei den Fahrern großteils um Männer handeln. Stimmen da die Attribute zusammen?

Die hübschesten Frauen werden dagegen in einem MINI vermutet. Überhaupt wird  MINI als die "weiblichste" Marke unter den Befragten gesehen. Am Steuer sitzt hier am ehesten eine junge, sportliche, fröhliche, dynamische... usw., soviel zu den Klischees. Ich seh meistens junge Männer mit Baseballkappen am Steuer der kleinen Engländer, warum auch immer. Das deckt sich also gar nicht mit meiner Wahrnehmung.

Richtig schlecht kommen die Fahrer von Ford und Dacia weg. Über sie glauben die Befragten, dass sie hässlich, dick (Ford), schüchtern, alt (Ford), aber immerhin bescheiden. Opel kommt ebenfalls nicht gut weg. Der absolute Durchschnittsmensch, der nirgends herausragt, fährt übrigens VW. Und wie Nissanfahrer eingeschätzt werden, steht leider nicht in der Zeitung.

ANYWAY... I'm very happy for Chattanooga and thrilled that Volkswagen (VW) chose that city to build their US manufacturing headquarters right there. YESSS! When BMW chose Spartanburg, it turned their world upside down in a good way and sparked a bit of energy and pride here, as I hope will happen for Chattanoogans. The spirit seem super energized and they are excited to welcome VW (or willkomenn... however that is spelled haha!).

I work for Spartanburg Community College, who 'partnered' with the local BMW plant to build a nice facility for training business and industry workers. I've been working on pushing our economic development efforts into the new website we are working on, so I have learned more about all of this as of late. Imagine my surprise yesterday...

I saw some reporters milling around in our lobby, so I approached to see what they needed. Turns out they are from Chattanooga Times Free Press and are here to interview staff and students about how BMW's move here affected them, how the College partnered with BMW to provide training, development, etc. I was so excited and told them I am a Chattanoogan and so proud and happy about VW coming there. What a great feeling! It made me feel very proud - to be from Chattanooga AND to be a part of something positive where they chose to highlight.

So shout outs to Chattanooga! You raised me and I'm proud!

Catching up on my assignments!  This was last week's topic, but last week I did THIS week's.  Cuz I'm a dope, basically!  :-)

From the time I was a little kid, like most Southern California beach kids, I wanted a Volkswagon Bug.  An OLD one, the kind with the small tail lights, not the big round ones.

I was 23 when I walked into the garage of the guy who was selling the 1971 Beetle and I almost heard angels sing.  Fire engine red, factory sunroof, Hurst shifting, dual carbs, baja-style...shiny and beautiful.  It was a race car!  It cost more money than I ever imagined I would spend on a car...2500 dollars!  But I wanted that car.  I actually needed a car.  I'd never owned one and I was in college driving my dad's old VW van with a shot tranny which threatened to die at any given moment.

I decided to get the car.  Before I even left the house that evening I was thinking "what should I name a fabulous car like this??".  On a hunch, I asked the owner if the car had a name.  He looked at me quizzically and slowly answered..."yeeeeesss, his name is Dudley".  Dudley he was and Dudley he remained.  The previous owner liked that I kept the name.  But if you knew Dudley, you knew he was a Dudley.  I think Dudley was alive, just like Herbie in Disney's "The Love Bug".  Ask anyone else who knew him, they'll tell you the same.

In the dead of night one night I decided I needed to see if Dudley really needed that speedometer that went up to 250 mph.  I snuck onto a brand new freeway that was slated to be opened in the next couple of days and I opened him up.  I got him up to 117 mph before I freaked out thinking I'd end up with a felony on my record if I got caught.  But even at 117 mph Dudley was running smooth!!!  That was a GREAT moment. 

But old bugs can be fussy.  I took a basic mechanics class in college, so I was able to deal with small problems that would arise.  It wasn't rare that I'd have to pull off the road and remove the fuel filter to bang out the rust from the fuel tank.  But years later I took a job that required very dependable transportation, transportation that wouldn't leave me smelling like gasoline.  I kept two cars for awhile as I didn't want to give Dudley up, but eventually it became clear to me that I needed to downsize to a single car, and I said good-bye to my old friend.

Now, do you think I could find a single picture of him to share here?  Nope.  I have some, but they are in a box somewhere.  I did know where the ignition key I kept was though, so I thought that might do for this challenge.  Here's Dudley's key:

Please check out the other participants' work!  They are all doing "Stained Glass Windows".  I'll activate the links as I get them.

The next-generation Beetle, on the other hand, is a stab to stray from the 'hatchling car' copy close to it in the previous days. To make a more expensive and rotund recent look and fashion, a VW team of designers use lustrous and elegant body parts mated to enhance and hi-tech vehicle tackle. The next-gen Beetle will be made better than the current perfect. It will also make better use of the addition interior opening.

Read more (details + photo)!!

The eminent Beetle will be equipped with superior a VW interface change, roof, fenders, engines, a furnace, car accessories, unusual motif cues, and other noteworthy modifications.

The charming bug-eye feeling, rounded contours, and globular roofline are binned in bolster of a more aggressive, and more conventional, mode with sportier deportment and sedan-style roof as illustrated in the drawings. The new Beetle is being penned clearly to adapt for an extensive strain of kind variants. The impending Beetle is the basis why the German automaker has hesitated bringing the Scirocco, an almost identical car, stateside.

Additionally, a quiet-top cabrio will come briskly after the tailgate's launch, with a sport cart with small rear doors reportedly upcoming abruptly thereafter. Other variants on the catalog embrace a micro-van, a continue, and a sport carriage-based intersect, with hotted-up versions also part of the significance mix, said Stehrenberger.

The arrange to get ridding of the iconic classic smooth of the Beetle may findings to backfiring if performed - it is an understandable move for VW to attempt to deliver a sub-brand using the Beetle name. The stratagem could be likened to BMW's venture with its Mini lineup.

The Beetle was commonly scorned for its odd styling, arduous cycle, weak capacity, and high noise levels. Nevertheless the car was ultimately the greatest and most created for a sole drawing. It remained a hot trader even as rear-circle instinct traditional subcompacts were superior pending ultimately replaced by front-controls propel models. The German automaker intends to territory the hot-selling thing of the car thus the plan of bracing the same in a more upbeat and expensive style.

In creating the New Beetle, VW did a splendid job of seizing the essence of the old variant in both form and meeting. Since then, the New Beetle, launched in 1998, has undergone some secondary facelifts but little besides, exit its interior figure and architecture to taint as the auto competition leapt ahead with more tidy executions and enhanced materials.

Log Cabin

Originally, the VW GTI was first. However, I hold the acquisition of my home at a higher priority. In spite of this, the VW GTI will most likely be the first thing I will be able to obtain.

No city living for me! Give me the country where my closest neighbor is miles away and I measure the span of my land by square miles, not acres. I want to go fishing in my front yard and hunting in my back yard. Ride on horseback for days and never leave my property. I want to walk outside and know that from horizon to horizon, it is all my land.

My log cabin will have exposed timber construction, allowing the vertical and horizontal supports inside the home to be visible. Also, the exterior walls will be reinforced and either be constructed of insulated concrete or impacted earth, which will increase its insulating properties battling cold winters and hot summers. The exterior will be given a façade in order to achieve the look of a log home.

All of the four or five bedrooms will be upstairs. The master bedroom will have his and hers walk-in closets, as well as a master bathroom with a Jacuzzi bathtub and a 4-person shower. The other bedrooms will share an upstairs bathroom. If there is enough space and there are four other bedrooms, a bathroom will be shared by each pair of bedrooms.

The main floor will have a sitting room, sun room, large kitchen with island and dining area, dining room, pantry, full bathroom, mud room at the back door, entry to the attached garage, exit to the wrap around porch, front door and coat closet, and my den/office.

The basement will have a TV room (or theater if there is enough funds to do so) with surround sound and a recreational area with a pool table, air hockey table, or what happens to be the toy of choice. Also, the utility room containing the hot water heater and furnace will be in the basement. All of the necessary electronics and networking cables will all be hubbed in a room in the basement as a makeshift IT room, if you will.

The washroom with the clothes washer and dryer will either go on the main floor or the basement. At this time, it is undecided which floor it will go on.

Volkswagen GTI

Yes, the VW GTI is often the starting point of my daydreams when accumulating things of success. I find it sexy, sporty, economical, and fun to drive.

The black carbon fiber hood in the picture is similar to what I like. One of the few modifications I would make, the hood will be the first. Either looking similar to or actually crafted of carbon fiber, the black hood with its large heat extractors will contrast nicely with my future GTI’s red or white exterior. However, if blue is ever available, I would much prefer a bright blue similar to the screenshot to the right.

The second modification I will perform is the custom audio system. No flashy LCD screens, DVD players, or navigation systems; just some good old fashioned beats with little to no bling-bling. One ported speaker box housing two 12” Treo Engineering subwoofers powered by a single D Class amplifier. All gold connections and an easy connect/disconnect system so I can remove the speaker box when extra cargo space is required. The remaining OEM (original equipment manufacturer) audio system will not be removed or altered. However, a master switch controlling the amplifier and subwoofers will be hardwired in a discreet and convenient location for the driver. It is my stereo system and I wish to keep that way.

Lighting. To really set the mood and strike awe, aftermarket lighting is a must. Inside, I will have either red neon or “lava” light tubes over the front floor boards. A definitive decision is beyond me, right now, because I do not know exactly how the two look. Outside, I will definitely have underbody neon lighting. I have seen LED lighting and do not like them. What color? Undecided. I have seen some vehicles with more than one neon color. To do that requires installing a tube for each color. There is no one magical neon tube that will change colors.

Chevrolet Corvette

I know the VW GTI is a vehicle I would like. However, it can be a stepping stone to other vehicles. The GTI can replace my current 1982 Toyota Tercel two-door hatchback. Then, the Corvette will replace the GTI.

Color? I do not know what color I want. Red sports cars are said to compensate for a man’s sexual inadequacy or his suffering a mid-life crisis. Although that is an impression I do not want to give, I still say “they” can kiss my ass with what they think about what I drive. I like red. However, the yellow Corvettes I have seen are very nice, too. Plus, I like the way yellow is bright in the sunlight.

Having never driven a convertible, I do not know what it is like. So, I am at odds with whether I would like my sports car to be a convertible or a hard top. I imagine convertibles are fun, which may provide some truth to the widely accepted concept. Also, women seem to like convertibles a lot more than hard tops. On this matter, I just do not know which one to pick. I will cross that bridge when it comes.

I do not foresee myself mechanically modifying the Corvette. On the other hand, an awesome sound system is necessary, which will be just the same as what I described for the VW GTI.

Ford F-Series Pickup

A Ford enthusiast, Ford is the only pickup I will own. And, I see myself owning two Ford pickups.

One will be a new F-450 crew cab, one-ton dually, turbo diesel, which is what I have pictured above. With four-wheel drive, locking rear differential, automatic transmission with tow/haul, chicken lights, and all the options, it will be my flagship pickup, setup for towing and road trips. Modifications and accessories will include air brakes, removable fifth wheel hitch with air ride, CB radio and dual antennas, and a one- or two-cylinder APU (auxiliary power unit) for HVAC and electricity when not driving.

The other Ford pickup will have a big-block V8 gasoline engine, four-wheel drive, regular cab, and eight-foot bed. For this pickup, that is all that is required.

Black Mouth Cur

I am a dog person. I do not like “ankle biters,” so small dogs are out of the question. Cats are also out of the question, unless they are strays that hang around outside the house to hunt mice.

The Black Mouth Cur (sometimes called BMC) is not as well known as I would like to think it should be. On the other hand, its uncommon notoriety is part of the attraction.

Although dogs think its human master as a member of the pack, I am still afraid that my dog will become lonely, so I want two Black Mouth Curs.

Black Mouth Curs are beautiful dogs in my eyes. I like their size, their temperament, and their utility.

We will go hunting for birds, deer, squirrel and rabbit, coyotes, and other North American game. For fun, we will cart, play fetch, perform obedience training, train for obstacle courses, and play in the water.

Your Best Playas Are Discreet Playas

I am a nymphomaniac. Five times a day on a regular basis satisfies my sexual appetite. Some people think I am bragging when I say five times a day. However, how many times you fuck, how long you fuck, or who you fuck really does not matter if you have poor technique and fail to satisfy. Five times a day is a need, not a want.

I never fuck around too close to home. For instance, if a neighbor wants to get promiscuous, I must decline. On the other hand, I can continue flirting, so as to set myself up for any future endeavors should one of us move or whatnot.

Additionally, girls do not come to my house. Those who visit my home are not girls I fuck. Sure, it would be very nice to have the convenience of home when fucking, but I do not want girls coming over unannounced and disrupting things. Should a female who disapproves of polyamory learn of my “affairs,” she may take drastic action against my personal property, such as my vehicle or my house. I do not need any busted windows or windshields. So, girls do not come to the house.

While creating some funny and interesting things for a random writing, I created something I called House Rules. If you want to read them, I will hyperlink to another blog post describing those rules. Even so, the House Rules are and excellent benchmark of conduct for any bachelor or playa.

Perhaps still juvenile in the eyes of some people, I still lust for as many women as I can get my hands on or my dick into. So, naturally I daydream of a multimillion dollar home on some beach in the tropics that is totally overflowing with hot, horny, obedient women who desire only me.

One girl? No, no. Not for me. I am no longer a one-woman man. Instead, I am a multi-woman / no-girlfriend man.

Make me your friend with benefits, your friend that fucks (aka FTF), your weekend boy, your boy toy, your booty call, your one night stand, your fling, your rebound… make me anything BUT your boyfriend.

I am discreet. I am incognito. Neither the guys nor the gals see me coming. If I get too close I’ll get a smile, a blush, a laugh – charm and attraction – from any woman.

I am a kinky son of a bitch, too. I like sex with guys as much as I like sex with girls. I do not seek romantic relationships with guys, but I like the sex.

I like to gag girls on my dick and let them fuck me with strapons. I am usually on bottom with guys, thoroughly enjoying sucking dick and taking it in my ass, but I also enjoy being versatile and switching things up. Give me some man ass I am happy, too.

I have an oral fetish, so I like doing a lot of things with my mouth. At the same time, I enjoy others with an oral fetish, as well.

All kinds of women attract me, not just the ones in the pictures. However, I do have an affinity for: TNA (titts and ass); ghetto booty; flexibility; dancing/stripping; bikini tan lines; oral fetishes; anal; open mouth; hips; long legs; braces; the sweet/innocent look; pinup; thick or thin lips; pink nipples; tall slender women; pretty mouths; long hair; dark skin; gothic; pale skin; freckles; red hair; black hair; ghetto hair and fashion; big hair; hoop earrings; bracelets / anklets / belly chains / necklaces / chokers; older women; young women; exotic looks; long face; plain looks; and odd looks (like large eyes, large or small mouth, abnormally spaced eyes, etc).

Curves… it is all about the right curves. And, jiggling in all the right places.

I can be sparing with a woman’s face, but her body has to be a knockout. What is more, all the parts to her mouth – teeth, lips, gums, tongue, area around the mouth – absolutely has to be perfect. If it is jacked up in the slightest way the rest of her does not matter.

You know, if the woman has wicked skills in bed and is one freaky bitch (of course implying that she satisfies my sexual cravings), I could go for a girl with less than par looks and an okay body. If there is going to be compromise, I need to know where and how much I am willing to compromise.

To me, the mouth is the sexiest and most intimate part of the body.

I am open to many things and am sexually adventuresome. I have never done/been with: transsexual/transgender, tongue piercing, gangbang, train, swapping, orgy, sex/key party, couples, bisexuals, bisexual coed group, BDSM, girl with strapon, water sports, or beastiality.

BMW 535xi Sedan

Since I was little, I always admired the BMW sedans. I always found them refined, classy, and sexy with international prestige and distinction.

My BMW’s only modifications may be new rims and tires. Other than that, it will all be OEM (original equipment manufacturer).

Sexy!

The BMW is only a weekend driver, as well as the occasional date. Also, when necessary, I will drive it in to work on nice days.

Land Rover LR3

“If you can afford all of this, why settle for an LR3?” you might say.

To answer that simply, I have only experienced the Land Rover Discover and LR3. The Range Rover and Defender are two models of Land Rover I have only read about.

I can not say that I would like a Range Rover. However, I can say with confidence that I want a LR3.

No modifications. And, the color is really not all that important to me.

Like BMWs, I think Land Rover has international prestige and distinction.

Unimog

The Unimog is a German military and farm vehicle – it is to the Germans what Hummer and John Deere is to us.

Filling my utilitarian demands, the Unimog is a more-than-capable worker on and off the beaten path. Available in various body styles, engine sizes, and cab sizes, this one vehicle is like the Swiss Army knife of adventurers and workmen. Front and rear PTOs (power takeoff) operate a wide range of implements from snow removal, tree trimming, winches, grass cutting, sweepers, cranes/lifts, buckets, or any other kind of implement you can think of.

I like the old body style, but I want all new technology: a Caterpillar diesel engine with VGT (variable geometry turbo) and intercooler; CAT engine management computer system; four-wheel air brakes with trailer electric and air brake hookups; front and rear locking differentials; auxiliary lights for work and off-road driving; automatic transmission with tow/haul feature; high (3.75:1) and low (4.35:1) gearing in front and rear differentials; two- or three-cylinder APU (auxiliary power unit) to provide HVAC and electricity to conserve fuel when not driving; air lines for operating pneumatic tools; outlets for operating power tools; hydraulics to operate implements.

The Unimog is a beast. It is best to stay out of its way. Grrrrr.

Hummer H1

Although I would very much like a Hummer H1, I just do not foresee it becoming attainable with a $100,000 price tag. Consequently, this and subsequent items are on more of a “wish list” than an obtainable goal.

If I could, I would buy: a yellow wagon; brown/tan, olive drab green, or digital woodland camouflage two-door hard top; and a white four-door with black soft top. Of course, I would have all of the options on them.

Every man needs a Hummer H1. H2s and H3s suck.

I would go hunting in them, cross-country on road trips, and go on “safari” though out the world.

Aston Martin

At $250,000, Aston Martins are also unattainable and on the “wish list.”

Aston Martins are, in my mind, the ultimate in luxury sports cars. They are sexy, strong, sleek, and masculine. I find nothing about this vehicle that both men and women would not find appealing.

I am not well versed in Aston Martin’s lineup, but I believe the above is a picture of a V12 Vanquish S. Turbocharged, supercharged, or naturally aspirated… I do not know.

Seeing these beauties in person is totally different than seeing them in a picture or watching them on video – it is like going to the safari to see the animals you normally watch on TV.

Quixtar was hosting a conference in Scottsdale, AZ, for their IBOs (Independent Business Owners). If you do not know Scottsdale, it is commonplace to see cars worth over hundreds of thousands of dollars driving all around or parked on the street outside businesses. I have never been to another place like it.

I was parked at a stop light when an Aston Martin pulled up beside my teal 1996 Mazda 6. She was a beautiful convertible with shining white paint on the outside. Inside, she was lined with leather. The sound of the engine and the acceleration from the stop light made me want to cream my pants. And, all of the refinement that I saw inside the vehicle was just incredible.

The thirty-something female driver did not seem to mind that I was checking her out. When I finally noticed the driver and shyly smiled when I discovered she had been watching me look at her car, she only smiled real sweetly.

Another time, a black coupe sped by me on the highway. Later, when I had caught with it in the city, I learned this driver was an older male in his fifties or sixties. This Aston Martin sounded much more aggressive and powerful than the previous one I saw.

Before these encounters I never really liked Aston Martin. After these encounters I have fallen in love with them.

Em teste realizado pela Volkswagen, sob a supervisão do Instituto Mauá de Tecnologia, o automóvel Gol 1.0 Total Flex (modelo 2008-2009), percorreu 1167,1 quilômetros com 55,6 litros de gasolina, ou seja, consumo médio de 21 quilômetros por litro.

O carro percorreu a distância entre São Paulo (Capital) e Vila Boa (Goiás) com dois ocupantes, cujos pesos somados totalizaram 150 quilos. Os pneus dianteiros do automóvel foram calibrados com 33 libras e os traseiros com 31. O VW Gol completou o teste com a velocidade média de 75,53 quilômetros por hora.

HOW TO KNOW WHEN TO GET RID OF YOUR CAR

Your Vehicle is no longer an asset and becomes a liability when:

* You're unable to find a buyer to take it off your hands.
* It was totalled in an accident & has been written off.
* It has little or no trade-in value.
* It's a lemon that you don't want to pass off on to someone else.
* You don't want to go through the hassle of selling it.
* It costs more to fix than it's worth.
* It's been sitting so long that it doesn't work anymore.

HOW JUNKING A CAR HELPS THE ENVIRONMENT

People often think of an auto junkyard as just another dump – but present day junkyards are actually a form of recycling and easy on the environment. Most junk cars that end up in a junkyard are either sold at auctions or sold for scrap. In fact, junkyards provide steel and many other metals to the building and car industries, ensuring that the metals from a junked car continue to be used for other vital purposes and help save important natural resources, as well. In addition, the modern junkyard is regulated by federal and state laws that have strict guidelines on the draining and disposal of all fluids from junk cars, so the junkyard is no longer a threat to the ground water in the area.

ENJOY THE BENEFITS

Pat yourself on the back and know that by you junking your car you are in actual fact earning yourself some well earned cash and at the same time helping the environment.

No title? Not to worry.... The local Licensing department has the forms. You will need a form releasing you of liability. You simply fill out the form stating that you DO NOT own the Body and that it is abandoned.

Need a Fast Service? www.junkacar.com owns and operates it's own fully licensed tow trucks, so they are able to offer you a fast turnaround. With experienced and trained operators they are ready to guide you through the junk a car process.

#1 JUNK CAR REMOVAL

The Volkswagen Gol is a low cost subcompact cardesigned in Brazil and sold by German automaker Volkswagon since 1980. It is Volkswagen's entry-level car in the South American market, beneath the other superminis, the Fox and Polo. It has uninterruptedly been the best-selling car in Brazil since 1987, and since 1998 in Argentina. Gol sales in South America are also high; over 5 million Gols have been produced since 1980. Gol has also been produced in Iran under the same name.

The Gol, which takes its name from the Brazilian Portuguese and Spanish word for "goal" (In European Portuguese, the word for "goal" is golo). In Persian Gol means "flower."

In Argentina and Brazil, those who had the old Gol before the newer design (not the newest design, as described below) came out, were thought to be cool because they were ahead of the curve, so to speak. 

The Novo Gol

"The small Gol hatchback has always been cheap, reliable and sturdy — and thus well adapted to the local buyers' needs and mindsets. On the market here since 1980, it has been the undisputed bestselling car in Brazil, but VW lost the overall sales crown to an aggressive marketing push by Fiat in 2002 and has not yet retaken it. Clearly the remake of the Gol is one way VW hopes to move back into 1st place." - Edmonds

Em agosto, a montadora lançará o Linea, modelo com o qual pretende voltar a brigar no segmento para ampliar sua liderança. Baseado na plataforma do Grand Punto europeu, com entreeixos 9 centímetros maior que o nosso Punto, o sedã terá duas opções de motor, ambas flex: 1,9 litro 16V de 130 cavalos e 1,4 litro 8V turbo de 150 cavalos.

A Fiat também apresentará o Fiat 500

Focus 2009 europeu servirá de inspiração para o novo modelo fabricado na Argentina.

Outra novidade esperada há anos é a chegada do novo Ford Focus. O modelo vendido aqui (fabricado na Argentina) ainda é o mesmo da primeira geração. A terceira geração, que foi lançada na Europa no começo deste ano, servirá de base para o design da nossa nova versão – tanto para o hatch quanto para o sedã - que serão apresentados no Salão do Automóvel.

A plataforma, porém, continuará a mesma. Além do desenho renovado, o modelo ganhará uma versão flex para o motor 2.0 de 147 cavalos (que deverá passar dos 150 cavalos abastecido com álcool). O modelo atual continuará em produção, provavelmente apenas o hatch com motor 1.6 flex, como versão de entrada.

A VW prepara uma novidade que não é tão nova assim para o segundo semestre. O Voyage, sedã derivado do Gol, volta à cena embalado pelo lançamento da nova geração do campeão de vendas. O nome, porém, ainda não foi confirmado pela montadora, que pode optar pelo sem-graça Gol Sedan. De certo mesmo é a adoção de um novo motor – o 1.4 litro flex de 80 cavalos (com álcool), que passou a equipar a Kombi.

Chevrolet Captiva chega para substituir as versões de luxo da veterana Blazer (transmissão continuamente variável), que na prática não tem marchas, só para garantir mais esportividade e sensação de pilotagem ao motorista.

Outro segmento que ganhará novidades este ano é o dos SUVs. A Chevrolet será a primeira a apresentar seu modelo, o Captiva, em agosto. O SUV fabricado no México virá para substituir as versões luxuosas da Blazer, que continuará a ser vendida menos equipada. Na seqüência vêm o Ford Edge e o Nissan Qashqai.

Na pauta dos próximos meses, entre outros, estão os Citroën C4 hatch e a remodelação do C3, o Nissan Livina (concorrente do Honda Fit) e o Chevrolet Meriva renovado. No ano que vem, devem chegar o Honda Fit Sedan e a picape Peugeot 207.

Porsche România va lansa în luna octombrie noua variantă a modelului Volkswagen Golf, cea de-a şasea generaţie, care va dispunde de două motorizări pe benzină şi patru pe benzină, a anunţat, marţi, compania.

Motoarele diesel de 2 litri vor dezvolta 110 CP şi 140 CP, iar cele pe benzină vor include patru variante, respectic cu 80 CP, 102 CP, 122 CP şi 160 CP.

Propulsoarele au un consum cuprins între 4,5 litri de carburant la 100 de kilometri şi 6,4 litri, în funcţie de versiune.

Preţurile modelului Golf 6 pentru România vor fi comunicate în apropierea momentului lansării.

"Cea de-a şasea generaţie a modelului Golf face trecerea la sistemul de injecţie Common-Rail pentru motoarele diesel, iar sistemele TSI şi DSG reduc consumul de carburant până la 28 de procente", a declarat, într-un comunicat, directorul mărcii Volkswagen din cadrul Porsche România, Matei Albulescu.

werden vom volk immer missverstanden.

haben sie mal nachgerechnet wieviel geld die ganzen nutten

kosten ??

die ganzen orgien - die man veranstaltet um geschäftsabschlüsse

zu tätigen

man muss nur mal nachrechnen wieviel geld

eine prostituierte pro stunde kostet

das muss doch auch bezahlt werden

und der vw vorstand hat das doch alles nur gemacht

um arbeitsplätze zu erhalten

da prostitution ja auch ein legaler job ist

ist es doch nur normal

das auch da die kosten gesenkt werden müssen

man muss doch nur mal nachrechnen......

warum soll man 100 euro die stunde

für eine prostituierte ausgeben

wenn es auch für einen euro die stunde geht ?

da werden dann auch gleich ein paar mehr bestellt

und die arbeitslosenzahlen sinken ,

man muss doch nur mal nachrechnen.........

und nicht immer alles gleich schlecht reden

Até então, diversas publicações acreditavam que o modelo se chamaria Gol Sedan, para desgostos da legião de fanáticos que não perderam as esperanças da ressurreição do forte nome. Contrariando as expectativas, o batismo, para muitos, é uma forma de nostalgia, lembrança e até homenagem ao querido sedan que marcou história no país durante seus 15 anos de comercialização. Desde 1981, quando foi lançado, cerca de 1.247.766 unidades do VW Voyage foram produzidas, sendo a grande maioria destinada ao mercado consumidor interno.
