Fisker Automotive has taken the wraps off its “final, fully driveable production car,” to be officially unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in January 2009. Production of the rear-drive Karma plug-in hybrid is set to begin in October, with first deliveries in November via 40 U.S. retailers that Fisker says will be established by October.

The curvaceous Karma body, comprised of both aluminum and composite panels, rides on an aluminum space frame built in cooperation with Norsk Hydro of Norway. The Karma will be assembled by Valmet Automotive in Finland, the company that produces the Porsche Boxster and Cayman. Fisker is pegging yearly volume at 15,000 cars. The production interior is being built by Magna and should be ready by the Detroit show.

The 4-seat 4650-lb. Karma uses a powertrain Fisker calls “Q-drive,” which consists of two electric motors powered by a lithium-ion battery pack (located in the center tunnel) along with a 260-bhp 2.0-liter direct-injected turbocharged 4-cylinder supplied by General Motors (Chevy Cobalt SS/Pontiac Solstice GXP). All told, combined power is 408 hp and 959 lb.-ft. of torque. When running in high-performance Sport mode, the Karma is claimed to reach 60 mph in 5.8 sec. with a top speed of 125 mph. When run in economical Stealth mode, electric-only range is 50 miles.

The price of the Karma will be $87,900, although Fisker says the car is sold out until mid-2010.

Mercedes is planning to offer a hybrid S-class starting in 2009. The S400 BlueHybrid, a mild hybrid powered by M-B’s 3.5-liter V-6, boasts a lithium-ion battery co-developed with supplier Continental and described by Daimler R&D boss Thomas Weber as “a crucial breakthrough.”

Unlike Lexus’s LS600hL, the S400 is not aimed at the performance market. Instead, it uses its hybrid drivetrain solely for the traditional aim of fuel efficiency. Mated in the style of a mild hybrid with a 20-hp electric motor and a lithium-ion battery pack, the V-6 will turn off while the car is stationary and kick back on when the driver wants the car to move. Under braking, the batteries are charged. The electric motor can’t propel the S400 on its own but assists in acceleration.

The compact lithium-ion battery module is far more powerful than conventional nickel-metal hydride batteries. It is integrated in the car’s cooling system to ensure optimal operating temperature.

BMW seemed miffed at the announcement, with executives pointing at the joint hybrid-vehicle alliance between BMW and Daimler. But this particular battery is a Mercedes development, and the carmaker holds 25 patents on it.

With internal combustion and electronic wizardry working together to produce 295 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque, the S400 is capable of a 0-to-62-mph sprint in a claimed 7.3 seconds and will pull to a governed 155 mph–all while delivering 30 mpg on the European cycle (up from 23 mpg) in S-class comfort. Additionally, the S400 packages all the hybrid equipment under the hood, so neither passenger room nor cargo space suffers for the driver’s conscientiousness.

Europe will get this hybrid in 2009, and a Mercedes spokesman confirmed that it will be offered in the U.S. later–we believe in 2010. If 30 mpg is not enough for you, and you can’t picture yourself in a Prius, start hoping Mercedes offers the upcoming and even thriftier S300 BlueTec diesel hybrid outside Europe.

 The Tata Nano may be the most expensive vehicle ever to be the cheapest new car on earth. Violent protests at one of the car’s planned assembly sites have gotten so rampant that the Indian automaker is near a deal to exit the nearly completed West Bengal facility all together. Just a few days after a supplier CEO was killed by a mob of protesters, two body guards were also assaulted at the contentious facility. The controversy in West Bengal centers around the land that local farmers lost to the $200 million Euro facility, and with the building nearly complete, it’s hard to believe that land will be returned any time soon even if Tata did abandon the region.

Word out of India is that the state of Karnataka has offered Tata Motors 1,000 acres plus incentives to move Nano production there, and the local media is reporting that Tata is going to announce plans as early as next week. We’re not in the micro car business, but if we were, we’d avoid building them where there is the constant threat of being beaten or killed by an angry mob. Moving Nano production to a region that actually wants the Tata there seems like a foregone conclusion at this point.

Chances are it’s the price of gas, not auto insurance, that’s driving you to the poor house.

But if you want to cut your auto insurance premiums to the bone, stay away from small, fast cars.

“It’s a common denominator among vehicles that have the highest losses — a lot of smaller, sportier vehicles, says Russ Rader, spokesman for the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

“Contrary to the idea that smaller cars can help you avoid crashes, the data shows that small cars get into more accidents,” he says. “If you feel like you have a vehicle that can zip in and out of traffic, chances are you’ll do that.”

Each year, the institute, and its sister organization, the Highway Loss Data Institute, analyze the actual insurance losses associated with the most popular vehicle makes and models. Since insurance companies use similar kinds of data to set premiums, the rankings give consumers a window into how their vehicle choices affect their auto premiums.

And, once again, the data suggests that small cars and speed are an expensive combination for insurers — especially with a young driver behind the wheel.

“Sporty cars tend to be driven in ways that lead to more crashes,” says Rader. “They also tend to be driven by younger, riskier drivers.” And smaller cars also tend to be more affordable, which makes them more attractive to those same younger drivers, he says.

“The Subaru Impreza WRX, the Mitsubishi Lancer, the Acura RSX, the Nissan Sentra SE-R — these vehicles have the highest rates of collision,” says Rader. “And age is a part of it. It’s how these vehicles are driven.”

10 Most-Expensive Cars to Insure

The 10 vehicles that account for the highest dollar amount of losses for insurance companies (starting with the most expensive) are:

1. Cadillac Escalade EXT 4WD

10 Least-Expensive Cars to Insure

The 10 vehicles that account for the lowest dollar amount of losses for insurance companies (starting with the least expensive) are:

1. Ford Five Hundred 4WD (now the Ford Taurus)
2. Buick Rendezvous 4WD
3. Buick Lucerne/Buick Rainier 4WD/Honda Odyssey
4. Ford Freestyle 4WD/Subaru Outback 4WD
5. Buick Rendezvous/Honda Pilot
6. Chrysler Town & Country LWB
7. Honda Pilot 4WD
8. Buick LaCrosse/Chevrolet Uplander/Ford Escape/Volvo V70

The car that comes in fifth on the “most expensive to insure” list, the Scion tC, has one of the youngest demographics. Thirty-five percent of drivers are under 25, says Kim Hazelbaker, senior vice president for the Highway Loss Data Institute.

But the car at the top of the list, the Cadillac Escalade, bucks the trend. So why is a luxury SUV most commonly driven by a more affluent and comparative older clientele on the list? Two words: theft magnet.

“The Escalade has a lot of buzz in the entertainment industry,” says Rader. “You can’t watch an episode of ‘Cribs’ without seeing an Escalade. So it’s desirable.”

So desirable that owners face a comprehensive premium of six times the national average, says Hazelbaker.

“It’s one of the iconic vehicles that continues to be popular with pop culture stars, so it continues to be popular for people to steal,” he says. Plus, “everything in an Escalade bolts into a Suburban,” he says.

Least Expensive to Insure

The vehicles that are likely to have the lowest insurance costs? Today’s version of the good old fashioned family car, says Rader. These skew toward large sedans, or midsize SUVs or minivans.

“They tend to be driven by people who are not as likely to speed or drive recklessly,” he says.

And they also aren’t as likely to be used to commute to and from work, says Hazelbaker. That means the cars aren’t on the road during rush hour, which also lowers their risk.

“We have an awful lot of soccer mom cars on that list,” he says. “The (Buick) Rendezvous, the (Subaru) Outback, the (Honda) Pilot, the Chrysler Town & Country — all of these are sort of ‘mommy mobiles.’”

And none of the vehicles on the cheapest to insure list “are very large,” either, says Hazelbaker. “As the size of an SUV or pickup goes up, you do have higher losses.”

The all-around least expensive to insure? The Ford Five Hundred, the study found. A medium-sized, affordable sedan now known as the Ford Taurus, “it’s probably driven by a favorable demographic in a favorable way,” he says. “It’s a suburban family second car.”

Cars of this type “are probably living in a garage,” which makes them less of a theft target. Plus they tend to be less desirable to thieves, he says.

“If you’re going to pick out something to steal, what would you choose?” says Hazelbaker.

When Bigger Isn’t Better for Premiums

But larger vehicles don’t automatically mean lower premiums. Some super-size vehicles could actually increase the cost of your insurance.

When two cars collide, the average repair cost for each is about $3,000, says Hazelbaker. But some larger vehicles are routinely linked to higher-dollar damage to other cars. And that could cost you in terms of more expensive insurance.

The top five linked to highest dollar damages to other cars, according to the institute, are as follows.

1. Hummer H2 SUT 4dr 4WD
2. Hummer H3 4dr 4WD
3. Hummer H2 4dr 4WD
4. Dodge Ram 2500 mega cab 4WD
5. Toyota Highlander Hybrid 4dr

“They’re big, heavy vehicles that tend to inflict a lot of damage on what they hit,” says Rader. See the top 10 list.

Keeping Premiums Down

Want to keep your premiums low? Talk to your agent before you buy your next vehicle, says Loretta Worters, vice president of the Insurance Information Institute, an industry organization. Once you’ve narrowed your choices to two or three models, ask if any of the premiums will be significantly different. Note if any of the models have high repair costs or theft rates, she says.

It can be tricky. Even different models of the same car can have different costs when it comes to insurance. “A different motor or different luxury items” can change your premium, says Worters.

One example is a convertible. That ragtop could cost you more than the hardtop version of the same car, says Worters. A convertible is “easier to get into, so it might be more costly,” she says.

Another tip off to high-priced premiums: higher-priced cars.

“The more expensive the car is, all things being equal, the more it’s going to cost to insure,” says Dick Luedke, spokesman for the State Farm Insurance Cos.

And each car has more than one score to consider. The same car that shows lower-than-average losses in terms of inflicting damage might be worse in terms of theft. But insurance companies, and the premiums, take the whole package into account.

So what categories make the most difference, when it comes to your premium?

“The biggest portion of auto insurance is for liability,” says Luedke. Next is collision and comprehensive, fairly equally. And after that comes medical payments, he says.

Smart money: Look at your car’s scores in all categories, but in the end, shop safety. Pick up great safety information, like crash tests results, rollover ratings, recalls, service bulletins and consumer complaints with the following sites.

And the car is only part of the equation. You, your lifestyle and your driving record will also have a sizable impact on the premium. To calculate your premium, insurance companies analyze everything from your age, residence, and driving patterns to your prior driving record and credit history.

When it comes to the premium, says Hazelbaker, “the person in the vehicle makes the most difference.”

Looking for a new car? Maybe you undergo your core set on somewhat fuel-efficient as of $4 gas? Or more than likely you had a top notch year and feel you are going to move up to somewhat amongst a touch of style, luxury or class?

Get in line. Despite resilient times for the Automatic arena in general, there are There are those car models–across a extensive span of classes and sizes–that are so popular overly Automatic manufacturers are re&wshyp;selling them quicker as opposed to properties can produce them.

To collect our store of the most-wanted vehicles, we exhausted tips given that by Ward’s Automotive Group, a publisher of market trade shock and data, as good as automaker-supplied days’ availability info as a issue of dealer supply levels.

A low days’ give and low retail turn rate–the plethora of while a car spends on a dealer’s lot–means particularlly dealerships may hold purchased out of a vehicle, own one and only a few on the lot or may not experience the style or trim you desire.

Vehicles among the rock bottom days’ give drew up the original enter (Ward’s alleges the sector median is 60 days), that was pared dropped paying off J.D. Power and Associates’ retail turn costs to determine how eventually a example purchased in the period of May. The usual retail turn interest level for all vehicles is 61 days; we clearly deemed vehicles investing in a level of 40 days or less, greatly beneath the economy average.

So how did the LX 570, in an age of $4-a-gallon gas, create it to the minute spot on the most-wanted list?

Even even though the premium SUV looks fancy an anomaly in a little bit when mortgage holders are snapping up efficient cars, Automatic real estate observors are quick to note the present there is continue to a requirement for luxury vehicles and such a the SUV market, additonally struggling, certainly isn’t dead. Furthermore, popular vehicles the current experience a redesign, as if the Scion xD and the LX 570, often undergo an previous surge in sales, alleges Tom Libby, senior director at J.D. Power and Associates.

“In fact, Lexus is that much attempting in a pre-sold insert of loyal Lexus propietors who wanted to get the premium SUV as fast as it hit the market,” suggests Curt McAllister, a Toyota spokesman. “Its new styling and creature facilities attractiveness to loyal Lexus and premium SUV shoppers.”

The LX 570 had an typical eight-day produce of vehicles at the end of May and the median turn point for every exemplary was eight days. It has a a good amount powerful 5.7-liter V8 engine creating 383 horsepower, and leather seats amid fuel extendable front seat cushions for added comfort. It too aspects new technology, these kinds of as wide-view front and portion monitors located in the grille and underneath the passenger side-view mirror to aid drivers amidst hard-to-view areas.

Waiting List For Luxury

2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class

If a high-end SUV is not your style, but you do pray to issue out the present mainly evolution to the luxury segment with, say, the all-new Audi A5, you are more than likely to hold to wait a tiny amount additonally before you press off the lot. The luxury midsize coupe and the high-performance S5 exemplary are marketing quicker as opposed to Audi can initiate them.

The A5 launched in March of such year (the S5 came out in November 2007) in a base manufacturer’s showed retail price level of $41,200, but according to Ward’s, at the end of May there was an normal eight-day inventory of A5s on dealers’ lots. Comparatively, the retail turn rate, at 39 days, is even better as opposed to this of a greater amount of cars on the list. But from the time this moment is a countrywide median and the days’ put up is low, a dealership in one half of the globe may undergo spot on the A5 the consumer wants, additonally a dealer elsewhere has a pending list.

It’s a similar trouble for the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the additional modestly priced Benz ($33,675), in on an regular 29 days’ offer of cars. While the put up is even better as opposed to the current of a great deal more cars on the list, the present exemplary gives especially quickly, investing in a turn costs of merely 26 days, signaling that, on average, the C-Class is purchased more rapidly as opposed to it is produced.

Finding A Fuel-Efficient Car

Toyota is preparing to launch an updated and improved Prius later on that year and therefore can not substantiate creation of the 2008 model. Typically, transactions trail off as individuals wait for the new ideal to launch, but which hasn’t occurred as gas price levels been to enhance out of $4 a gallon and threaten to get a message to $5 a gallon currently summer.

Demand for the Prius has increased, but the “limited end up with of Prius in the pipeline is due to a product bill founded on our whole creation limitations at the Prius factory” in Japan, argues Sona Iliffe-Moon, a Toyota spokeswoman. “We are at this moment running at complete capacity and experience kept on for two years. All along we argued we should experience a find ceiling.”

But times got unique then.

“We saw a required shift in May to pitiful and compressed typical cars,” displays Libby. “Automakers began May through lean inventory. But the per cent of compressed cars purchased in May was 20.3%, up within 15.8% in May survive year. They would hold to increase in value creation of efficient cars.”

Diane Elnick, business analyst at Ward’s Automotive Group, reads overly “if requirement keeps on at the above the usual rate it did in May for these kinds of vehicles, automakers should experience a hard tad if them.”

A ideal too may be facing that predicament is the Honda Civic and its hybrid version, that are surrounded by the most-wanted vehicles. The gas-powered Civic becomes a respectable EPA combined predicted 29 mpg; the hybrid version, 42 mpg. Tim Bothell, new car director at Showcase Honda in Phoenix, Ariz., reads 75% of his Civic sells are hybrids. And amid Toyota capping generation on the Prius, necessity for the Civic is able to substantiate still more.

“We are not fairly at a waiting-list rate yet, but we are coming up the current level,” alleges Bothell. Ward’s states there was a countrywide normal 21-day put up of all Civics at the end of May; according to J.D. Power, Civics turn quickly, at an routine of easily 25 days.

Whether you suffer a taste for a luxury ideal or a basic fuel-efficient one, the decently bombshell is this you undergo lots of options. The bad news: You would suffer to be ready to wait for the one you truly want.
The time period of hard-to-get vehicles is as distinct as shopper tastes and budgets in general. Case in point: As expected, the most-wanted automobile on our enter is the fuel-sipping $21,500 Toyota Prius hybrid sedan such a becomes an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) combined estimate of 46 mpg. No. 2 on the list? The not-so-expected gas-guzzling $74,700 Lexus LX Series full-size luxury SUV the becomes a combined 14 mpg.

Hydrogen use for cars is sole underlying thought to be would&wshyp;be surrounded by gas cells or significantly in ongoing combustion engines, as BMW is working to provide evidence potential among particular of its vehicles. Ronn Motor Company, according to Texas, USA, has proposed a new use of currently gas: to blend it amongst gasoline. According to the company, working at so can inflate highway energy region up to 17 km/l (or 40 mpg). Even better, it can do this for a 450 hp sports car the present sprints out of 0 to 60 mph in approximately 3.5 moments and reaches top speeds of up to 320 km/h (200 mph). Ladies and gentlemen, equate the Ronn Scorpion.
Although essentially minimal info can be at last found something like the car at Ronn Motor CompanyÂ’s official website, the association has sent us a force release this solves various of the doubts, but not all. The rest of them had to be purchased personally. The engine the car uses, the Acura 3.5 litre V6, generates 289 hp in its availability create and 450 hp in twin turbo configuration. VCM (Variable Cylinder Management) is not present, or, else, all six cylinders struggle all the time, but continuing to so the car achieves an monumental 17 km/l highway gas economy

This is due to the blend of hydrogen and gasoline in 40%/60% proportion, respectively. Hydrogen is given that by the hydrogen delivery process on Hydrorunner, that generates hydrogen directly on an on council water reservoir who holds 11.3 litres (3 gallons) of water and merely has to be refilled most any 1,600 km (1,000 miles). This suave key avoids the desire of so far heavy and pricey hydrogen tanks in the car. The creation of hydrogen varies according to accelerator demands. “(It generates) more and more at better rpms and a lower amount of at reduced rpms”, declared Adrian Pylypec, VP for Sales and Marketing at Ronn Motor Company to World Car Fans.

Prices are furthermore not raised on the drive release, but we suffer currently shown them: US$ 150,000, and Ronn Motor Company is recognizing pre orders. It may seem expensive, but there may simply be 200 structures of Scorpion around, so exclusiveness is a superb cause for the price, but not the simply one. The supercar as well facets carbon fibre body, chrome molly chassis, Recaro seats, Indy car independent suspension in all five wheels, Bose 8 speaker sound system, HID Xenon headlights, LED sidemarkers and personalized LED gauges, amidst more and more things. Even filled up through comfort equipments, Scorpion handles to stay its weight as low as 950 kg. And right now is not a tiny vehicle, wanting to by its 2.67 m wheelbase. Total width is yet to be confirmed. Production starts in the the preceding quarter of 2008 and deliveries at nearly the same time.

We are absolutely all familiar among hybrid vehicles as making top performers in the contend for energy state supremacy.
