Toyota plans rural push to rev up sales of compact cars!

The local unit of Toyota Motor in New Delhi is planning to expand marketing focus on rural India to shore up sales of its sluggish compact models, following the successful strategy of rivals Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai Motor which sell a sizeable number of their small cars in the hinterlands.

"India is a vast market and to capitalise on the extensive model offerings, we have embarked on a new strategy to go rural. We have chosen our compact model Liva that is an ideal product with a right price and packaging for the Indian rural customers' looking for high-value preposition."

Toyota has enrolled its dealers to kick off village roadshows, with emphasis on the carmaker's vehicle quality and service. The company that has more than 250 dealerships across India has plans to start more rural outlets in coming months. Toyota estimates the Indian passenger vehicle market to double to around five million units by 2020, and a significant amount of the demand to come from towns and rural markets.

Fresh from the clay modeling studios, Infiniti is about to show this amazing new concept called the Q80 Inspiration at the Paris Motor Show. Best of all though, the concept has been designed with intent to put it into mass production.
Here's the quick tour of their idea: Mercedes sells a lot of CLS-Class four-door coupes and they make the brand stronger because they're so cool. So using its own design know-how, the company is going to put its own huge four-door into production and is calling it a Q80. Its name suggests this is actually their much-anticipated flagship, sitting abouve the Q70 that replaced the M sedan.
The Japanese luxury brand certainly isn't pulling any punches in the size department either. Overall, this concept measures 5,052 millimeters (198.9 inches) long, 2,027 mm (79.8 in) wide and 1,350 mm (53.1 in) tall. That's right, it's noticeably bigger than both the Mercedes CLS and the Audi A7, both of which stop before they reach 5 meters.

The Internet is coming to your car. Later this year, General Motors will put Internet connectivity directly into its vehicles. Of course, safety advocates have some concerns about more distractions for drivers.
The promise of technology is always the same one — that it's going to make our life easier!

2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA250 4Matic first drive
The Mercedes-Benz GLA-class is the all new mini-SUV from Stuttgart that's built alongside the CLA-class and the global-market A-class hatch; the GLA250 4Matic is the entry-level version on the new two-model lineup. Designed to slide in beneath the GLK-class in Mercedes-Benz's North American showrooms, the GLA250 4Matic combines the interior space of a large five-door hatch with the off-road ability of a small SUV.

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System for the tire that tells you when it needs replacing
Soon drivers will have even less of an excuse for having tires that don’t have the minimum tread depth. Continental’s Tyre Pressure Monitoring System of the future will feature sensors that are embedded beneath the tread. These can then monitor how much tread a tire has left on it because of gradual changes in the way the tire rolls. What the sensor is actually doing is constantly checking variations in the way the tire deforms as it turns. The computer that it feeds information to continually compares this with information accumulated from numerous trials in its data bank.

You probably already know if you want one of these or not. After all, Porsche’s Cayenne, first introduced in 2002, continues to be the most polarizing SUV since Suzuki’s X-90. Some of us around here have a soft spot for the X-90 and are rather shocked by the high residual values for the things. Used Cayennes, however, are the cheapest way to get into all-wheel-drive Porsche ownership this side of a 924 mounted on a CHevy S-10 chassis. A new [b]Cayenne S [/b]like the one we just drove, however, starts at $75,095.

2014 Nissan Pathfinder the great car of huge dimensions. I almost can be said that the minivan, and it is still SUVs. Excellent for travel and for the family as it has 7 seats which are great and there is a place for adults. Its engine is a hybrid so that Nisan this time did everything he could and invested a lot of effort into this unusual vehicle.

2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat
There’s still plenty of time to slip the Charger Hellcat into showrooms as a 2015 model, but halo cars like this can generally transcend model-year designations with little impact on sales. That said—and considering much of the development was completed along with that of the Challenger SRT Hellcat—it could arrive as early as this fall. Pricing will likely follow the Challenger’s lead, the Charger SRT Hellcat retailing for approximately $15,000 more than the base SRT model, bringing it in around $65,000.

Sometimes you really need a Dash Camera. You never know how other drivers will behave on a road, so just to have a proof buy it and turn it on (:
It is as easy to operate as any digital camera. In climate, we would suggest the G1W-C, because it uses a capacitor instead of a battery, which (for reasons we explain below) does better in hotter climates where batteries might not function optimally.

The Detroit Electric name has been around since 1906, but the only thing the brand’s latest offering has in common with those early vehicles is pure electric power.

The recently revived automaker today unveiled the final exterior design for its new all-electric two-seat sports car, the SP:01.

Detroit Electric says the limited-edition SP:01 will be the world’s fastest production electric sports car when it goes on sale, with a top speed of 249 km/h and a 0-100 km/h time under 4.0 seconds.

Production will begin at a new facility in Leamington Spa, England later this year and the car will be available in Europe, Asia and North America early in 2015.

Mazda’s Juke rival is go: CX-3 to debut at LA show!
Time for yet another small crossover to join the market. Mazda has confirmed that the new CX-3 will get its first public outing at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November 2014.

Together with the new MX-5, which will also be on display, the Mazda CX-3 is something of a crucial model for the Japanese firm as global appetite for high-riding but relatively small cars continues to grow.

When released around April next year the CX-3 will do battle with the likes of the Nissan Juke (one of the UK’s biggest-selling cars), the Skoda Yeti and the Kia Soul.

The first thing I noticed when you will check the[i] 2015 Ford F-150 Platinum 4x4[/i] SuperCrew is its upscale feel inside and out. After all this is the top-of-the-line model with nearly every option box checked. That's lots of coin for a half-ton pickup, but it's also quite a bit of truck.

When the new Toyota Rav4 launched last year, it failed to break new technological ground and people found its exterior pretty conventional. And yet, it managed to be one of the best-selling vehicles in the compact SUV category. When it came time to refresh the Rav4, Toyota brass thought it best to use the same recipe—and they thought right.

At the time, some folks decried the changes, which included doing away with the V6 engine and third row of seats, replacing its side-hinged rear door with a hatchback (a move that brought it in line with the other models on the market) and bidding farewell to the spare tire affixed to the back of the vehicle. In short, the new version had nixed all the characteristics that had set it apart from the competition. The result was a much more conventional configuration. But at the end of the day, the sales figures prove that Toyota knew exactly what it was doing. The latest Rav4 is the most popular yet.
