The Volkswagen Golf Plug-in Hybrid is currently explained in detail during a presentation in Germany. The exact details will follow, but underneath the Volkswagen Golf almost identical to yesterday unveiled Audi A3 E-Tron.

That means a 1.4 TSI engine with 150 hp with a 102 hp electric motor. The combined power is 204 hp, torque is 350 Nm. The Audi A3 consumes 1.5 l/100 km CO2 emissions 35 g / km) in the Volkswagen Golf that will differ little or nothing.

The car can only electricity or only on the internal combustion engine drive - or a combination of the two. As I said, we get a quick update on the Golf Plug-in Hybrid. He will anyway in Geneva at the stand of Volkswagen stand.

Volvo C30

The 2011 Volvo C30 is treated to a refreshed exterior, including an all-new front end. The 2011 Volvo C30 isnt your typical "hot hatch." Power comes from Volvos familiar turbocharged five-cylinder engine, which cranks out a healthy 227 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque. It certainly goes fast and handles well, but Volvo has refused to sacrifice comfort for performance, even in sport-tuned R-Design trim.

Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options

The 2011 Volvo C30 is a four-seat, two-door hatchback offered in two trim levels. The base T5 includes 17-inch alloy wheels, height-adjustable seats, a trip computer, cruise control, a 50/50-split-folding rear seat, full power accessories, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel with audio controls, Bluetooth and an eight-speaker CD audio system with an auxiliary audio jack. The T5 R-Design trim level adds 18-inch wheels, fog lights, a sport-tuned suspension, a quicker steering ratio, sporty exterior trim, partial leather upholstery, blue-face gauges and metallic interior trim.

The Multimedia package adds a 10-speaker Dynaudio surround-sound audio system and satellite radio. The Climate package includes heated front seats, headlamp washers, automatic climate control and rain-sensing wipers.

Power trains and Performance

The front-wheel-drive 2011 Volvo C30 is powered by a turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-5 that produces 227 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy checks in at 21 mpg city/29 mpg highway and 24 mpg combined for the manual; the automatic has a 21/30/24 mpg rating.

The 2011 Volvo C30 comes standard with antilock disc brakes with brake assist, stability control, front-seat side airbags, full-length side curtain airbags and front seats with whiplash protection. Volvos Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) is optional.

Interior Design and Special Features

The front seats are exceptionally comfortable (though more side bolstering would be helpful on a curvy road), and the telescoping steering wheel accommodates drivers of all sizes.

From the front, its easy to peg the Volvo C30 as a truncated, hatchback version of the S40 sedan and V50 wagon. In back, this truly stylish, sporty Volvo looks to Volvos 1800ES shooting brake, from the early 1970s, for inspiration, with a smaller, rounded, blacked-out hatch opening.

Its sophisticated and laid-back—a bit of a necessity, given the lower roofline—and it has the now-familiar Volvo floating center stack, a thin panel housing radio and climate controls, with storage space just behind.

The interior is obviously sacrificed a bit for the style, and the low roofline. The cargo space is a bit disappointing, too.

The highlight of the lineup, at least visually, remains the style-centric R-Design model, which includes different front and rear aerodynamic work; a sport suspension; Pirelli performance tires; special Midair wheel design; xenon HID headlamps with Active Bending Light; and a hard-drive-based navy system with live traffic. Options on the C30 lineup include a moon roof, leather upholstery, a climate package, and a preferred package with rain-sensor wipers and headlight washers.

Alfa Romeo and Mazda will share their new roadsters develop and build. The new MX-5 Spider in 2015 should see the light.

It was weird to walk the wild in May announced deal between Mazda and Alfa Romeo not continues but nothing is final until the signatures once an agreement has dried.

That is now the case, and so everything can be put in motion for the production in Hiroshima ready for the production of the new Mazda MX-5 and Alfa Romeo Spider. In 2015, the first copies in the Japanese city of Tyre walk.

Mazda and Alfa Romeo go subcutaneously many components for their roadsters parts but the cars get their own body and their own engines. Obviously they get rear-wheel drive, although in the case of the MX-5 logical than the Spider, who in his last appearance was a front wheel actuator.

Hyundai Elantra

2011 Hyundai Elantra Review-While holding the line on performance compared to previous versions, the Hyundai Elantra achieves much-improved fuel economy—40 mpg highway over the entire model line, as well as improved passenger comfort and interior refinement.

From the back you might mistake the Hyundai Elantra for its large Sonata sibling; but with the Hyundai Elantra an even smoother take. The exterior builds on the automakers Fluidic Scupture theme that applies to the mid-size Sonata, but in the Hyundai Elantra its a little more crisp and aggressive, a little more athletic. Hyundai boasts that the nav system has the largest screen size in this class.

The 2011 Hyundai Elantra has been fully redesigned, with an attractive design, new features, an efficient 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine and new six-speed transmissions.

For the fully redesigned 2011 Hyundai Elantra sedan, that moment is now. Beneath that dolled-up exterior, the new Elantra sports a new 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine mated to a choice of six-speed manual or automatic transmissions.

The 2011 Hyundai Elantra is a compact sedan thats offered in two trim levels. Options for the GLS include the Popular Equipment package that adds 16-inch steel wheels, air-conditioning, cruise control and a telescoping steering wheel. EPA estimates are 29 mpg city/40 mpg highway and 33 mpg combined.

The 2011 Hyundai Elantras list of standard safety features includes traction and stability control, antilock disc brakes, active front head restraints, front seat side-impact airbags and side curtain airbags that cover both rows. In Edmunds brake testing, an Elantra Limited needed 125 feet to stop from 60 mph -- a good distance for the segment.

Most new car updates take an incremental approach to improvement, but the Hyundai Elantra addresses its shortcomings with an aggressive eye toward performance, weight savings and fuel economy. A six-speed transmission, built in-house by Hyundai, is responsible for 4.1 percent of the fuel-economy improvement, and a smart alternator shaves an additional 2.5 percent. Weight loss adds a 1.8 percent improvement, while low rolling resistance reduces inefficiency by another 1.4 percent, aiding the cars claims of best-in-class fuel economy. Hyundai is also quick to point out that the only competitors that meet or exceed Elantras 40 mpg highway claim are the 40-mpg Ford Fiesta equipped with the Super Fuel Economy Package—which runs a $2,765 premium over a comparably priced Hyundai Elantra—and the 42-mpg Chevrolet Cruze Eco, which is $1,900 pricier.

A manual-transmission Hyundai Elantra GLS Standard starts at $15,550, while an automatic transmission GLS Popular runs $17,800. Added features on the Limited version ($20,700) include leather seats with front- and rear-seat heaters, a sunroof and 17-inch alloy wheels.

We first sampled the base, six-speed manual-transmission-equipped Hyundai Elantra GLS model with a Popular equipment package. Cruising in sixth gear at around 80 mph with light throttle yields an impressive indicated average fuel economy of around 50 mpg—helped, in part, by a tall top-gear ratio of 0.633. More erratic driving at lower speeds lowered our average to just below 30 mpg—spot on with the EPA city estimate of 29 mpg.

In an announcement by the UK Department of Justice HM Courts & Tribunals Service is said that a procedure runs against Group Lotus to the company to let go. "There is nothing wrong, Lotus is not failed," assures the British spokeswoman for Autovisie.

Already solved
Group Lotus, consisting of Lotus Cars, Lotus Engineering and Lotus Motorsport, is the so-called Winding Up list. Parties agree on that list by a request from another company because of financial issues. Group Lotus arrived on the list by a supplier whose name is not mentioned. "We have already spoken with that Party and the problems have been solved. We now have a legal process, but there is nothing wrong," said the spokeswoman in conversation with British Autovisie. A company keeps Winding-Up list to judge the matter settled.
