During his talk, Cheng also announced that the Ford Motor Research & Engineering was recently given approval by the Chinese government. He said that the facility will give the Ford Motor China significant boost in engineering. The institution will also help Ford Motor in the global scale as Ford China will be in a position to help its parent company in designing future models.

“These collective announcements underscore Ford Motor’s commitment to the China market and China’s growing importance to our overall global strategy,” says Cheng. “Ford Motor China now encompasses one of the most comprehensive and competitive operations in the Chinese market, including full-scale vehicle and engine production; research, development and engineering; sales; after sales services; and auto financing. Our local partnerships and the smooth implementation of our China strategy have greatly contributed to Ford becoming a leader of China’s automobile market,” he added further.

As part of the press conference, Cheng announced that the lineup of Ford China will include different vehicle body types such as “premiere and mid-size vehicles, small cars, SAVs, SUVs, and commercial vehicles,” according to Cheng. He also pointed out that the company is offering Ford models which have and is currently popular in the European market. “Our hugely successful European products have also proven to be very popular among Chinese consumers,” Cheng said. “From the hot selling Focus to the eye-catching S-MAX, and now the sleek Mondeo, Ford will continue to introduce our latest auto design engineering concepts to the China market. This will be supported by our renowned professional sales and after sales services, as well as our creative ‘Make Every Day Exciting’ brand campaign,” added Cheng further.

Ford’s business operation in China dates back to 1913 when the most popular car in the world is the Model T. Eighty-eight years later, Ford entered into a partnership with the Chinese company Changan Automotive Corporation. The joint venture was then called the Changan Ford Automobile Corporation. Then, in 2006, Mazda joined the venture and its name was then changed to the Changan Ford Mazda Automobile. With the expansion of this operation more and more Chinese will have access to Ford vehicles which can be equipped with ford cold air intake systems.

Brazil Car Market – Opening New Doors

Brazil is a key market for the world’s biggest automakers. Sales of Brazil car reached 12% in February. Lately the local unit of General Motors Co. was cutting 744 jobs at one of its factories, and the company’s vice president for Brazil, Jose Carlos Pinheiro Neto, was saying he would be happy if Brazil could sell 2.5 million vehicles.

In the past two years the government awarded tax breaks to spur automobile sales during the global economic recession. Brazil’s auto makers were also cutting back production and eliminating jobs in the face of an unsure fate for the economy and their sales. But a combination of tax breaks, easier loan terms and low interest rates have jump-started domestic demand and with it an industry that employs 130,000 workers and produces more cars than all but five other countries.

The depressing outlook incited the government to pass a tax cut that led to a price rollback for Brazil cars. Meanwhile, Brazil’s largest banks stretched out installment terms for auto loans from 60 to 80 months and offered lower interest rates. Consequently though sales remained slow initially, eventually auto makers got the oxygen they needed for a revival.

Brazil cars are highest in prices as compare to countries like Argentina, Mexico, USA and European Union. The statistics confirm that the Brazil leads in this regard. The reason for such difference in price is the tax load. However, taxes are not the only cause. There are other factors that put forth strong pressure on the prices of cars. One is Brazil cost which comprises both the manpower value to the customs and clearance of import of products & parts. In this regard, spending on logistics also count as it is basically on roads and ports for transport. And as compare to U.S. Infrastructure the roads are of bad quality. The scale of production is another aspect affecting prices, as the higher the volume produced, the lower the expenditure. As compare to China, Germany, Japan and United States, the Brazil car industry’s production is much minor.

Kids and Luxury Cars, How to Make Them Co-exist

Car manufacturers are starting to break this genre by introducing newer and more stylish models that have luxurious leather seats, superior sound system, with added holders for children’s sippie cups and bottles.  These are not your average car or minivan but luxurious vehicles that are slowly giving way just for you to enjoy luxury with your little ones.

Basic to all these cars are the usual standard equipments we have grown accustomed to.  They include the power locks and windows, the integrated safety features, and the rear power lift gates.  Add these up to more comfortable driver seats coupled with a few more perks such as comfortable, wider and more flexible seating, reading lights, audio controls and climate controls that are both easy to reach, more storage amenities like floor consoles and door holders.  These new cars are constructed to keep up with the challenge of having a child on board by being equipped with at least three child-appropriate rear seat features, sturdy and amply cup holders, rear heating, electronic games, and specialized third-row air conditioning as well as an interior air quality system which alerts the passengers if toxic substances are coming in the air stream.  The second and third row seats support a special form of theater seating by giving the children a better view of the boosts and the cabin, high enough to also see out through the window.   The new luxury cars also has more entertainment options for DVD screens that are mounted in the rear head rests of the front seats.  Because of this innovation, the drivers are no longer obstructed with DVD screens that are mounted on the car’s ceiling or when passengers in the rear seats stand up to adjust the screen. Moreover, passengers in the back seat enjoy the new rear vents so that the second and the third row passengers will not have to wait for cool air or heat to reach the rear from the front.

Although minivans can pack anywhere from 70 to 140 feet of space, the new luxury cars now provided for 60 feet to fit those strollers, soccer balls, and bags of groceries.  This is meeting half way between comfort and luxury and then convenience.

In sum, the following will cover the basic things you should consider when taking your kids out for a ride in that luxurious car of yours.  Check out the car seats.  Make sure that the seat harness is a three point harness.  This is a characteristic used for babies and children up to three years old.  With all the new models equipped with different airbag locations, make sure that the children are never placed right in front of these airbags.  When using car seats, always buy them new.  The newer models are more in sync with the new car models thereby giving you a better fitting booster seat that will fit well also with the seatbelts.  A better fitting baby seat or booster seat will not make the seatbelts slide up and down and crush the children in the event of a sudden stop.

The new car models are now equipped with rear parking alarms which goes off when there are children at the back while you are reversing.  Though these may not completely prevent accidents from happening, at least it will also teach your kids to stay away if they see a car backing up.

Children should never play with the door locks and seatbelts.  The new car models will have all these kinds of buttons which the kids will find amusing.  That is why you should always remember to activate the child lock in the rear doors.  Another option to prevent them from playing with all these is to get their attention to the entertainment system on board.  With the new headrest screens and speakers, try playing their favorite movie or video.  This will even prevent them from being bored during long drives.This is what is called “functional luxury”: making children co-exist with luxuries cars their parents love.

Each Shelby GT is built for performance. Extensive development has been made in each model, with aerodynamics as a key factor to the car’s powerful, unique front fascia with an aggressive lower air dam.

The 2008 models will sport 18-inch polished wheels with high-performance P235/50ZR18 BF Goodrich gForce tires to maximize the upgrades.

Around 2,300 Shelby GT coupes and convertibles are set to be built for model year 2008, available with manual or automatic transmission.

Moreover, across its 19 European markets, Ford has sold 5500 more cars year to date than last year, an amazing feat considering the economic times we’re in.

“We are pleased to see our market share growing substantially in many markets despite lower overall volumes because of the general weakness in the industry,” said Ingvar Sviggum, vice president, Marketing, Sales and Service, Ford of Europe.

A Definitive Guide to Modern Compact Cars

The popularity of compact cars is on the rise. Skyrocketing oil prices and constantly-improving features of these cars are just a couple of the main reasons why buyers are grabbing compacts off the shelves. And nowadays compact cars are not only the choice because of their fuel efficiency and practicality, but also because of their affordable price and excellent value for money.

The compact car is defined as a car that is a tad smaller than medium-sized cars or sedans. The term compact car is mainly North American in origin, and in Europe, compacts are known as “small family cars”.

Let’s go back a few years and see how today’s modern compacts came to be.

A brief history of compacts: European and US Market

After World War II, European manufacturers mainly featured two vehicle types: small cars or superminis and large sedans or super saloons. Some of these manufacturers discovered that a lot of middle class buyers wanted a larger version of the superminis, and this led to the creation of small family cars – the forerunner of today’s compact cars. The first successful line of makes and models that came out during this time are: Volkswagen Golf, Renault 5, Fiat Ritmo, Citroen GSA, and the Opel Kadett.

]]>

Although compact cars have been manufactured in the United States even before World War II, some consider the first modern compacts to have come out from the years 1958 to 1960, namely: the Studebaker Lark, Chevrolet Corvair, Ford Falcon and Plymouth Valiant. 

Today, modern compact cars have generally smaller dimensions and they are more fuel efficient than their predecessors and even compared to today’s mid-sized cars—averaging anywhere from 20 to 50+miles per gallon.

Here are just a few things that you can expect from a modern compact car:

Back to basics

For the consumer who wants an affordable, no-frills compact, manufacturers (ranging from European to US to Japanese and Korean) offer basic models that cost around ,000. Read: no power windows, no CD player, and no cruise control. For something that cheap, what can you expect? But these cars are efficient, reliable, and cheaper to operate.

Roomier options and Additional Performance

Customers who are looking for something with more options and features in addition to a roomier interior must be willing to shell out as much as ,000 to ,000. For those who might think that this is too steep a price for a compact, features like intelligent keyless entry, keyless ignition, Bluetooth, in-dash 6-CD changer with MP3 capability and satellite radio might change their minds.

And if it’s flat-out performance you are looking for, there are compacts that bring as much as 263 horsepower in a package that boasts a snowboard-friendly cabin featuring fold down seats, which boosts interior room.

The Bottom Line

Compact cars should definitely be on the top of your list when shopping for that brand new or pre-owned car. Simply put, for those who are looking for a practical, fuel-efficient, and stylish vehicle, modern compact cars will certainly fit the bill.

We all know that good things come in small packages. But who would have known that in these hard times, compact cars could give you more bang for your dwindling buck?
