  • Report: The dealer of Chevrolet, which is ready, $20,000 MSRP to load terminated for volts… will more follow?

    Filed under: Car Buying, Hybrid, Sedan, Chevrolet, GM

    2011 Chevrolet Volt - Click above for high-res image gallery

    Researchers from Edmunds decided to drop their local Chevrolet dealer a line to inquire about staking a claim for one of the first available Volts, and the response was shocking at best and galling at worst. Here's the email, sans names:
    Hello *****

    Thank you for your online request, as you know the Volt is going to be a very limited production vehicle for the first 2-3 years. Demand is going to far exceed supply for this vehicle, initially our asking price for the Volt is going to be MSRP plus $20,000, we are expecting only receive 9 Volts all of next year.

    I will keep you in my customer base for when the Volt comes out and I will contact you with any information as I receive it. We are taking orders right now for the Volt, if you would like more information, please let me know and I will be more than happy to help you. Thank you.

    ***** *****, Internet Specialist
    ******* Chevrolet
    ********, CA
    You read that right. A $20k markup over MSRP for a 2011 Chevrolet Volt.

    As Edmunds' AutoObserver points out, this email exchange took place before General Motors announced its plans to increase Volt production by 50% for 2011, churning out approximately 45,000 units in its first year. But even with that knowledge, would the unnamed dealer still avoid bilking early adopters? We doubt it.

    While it's not clear if any other Chevy dealers plan to follow suit, history would suggest that big markups are likely - the Corvette ZR1 initiated this sort of fervor when it was announced, too. On the flip side of the coin, AO sites a report from GM-Volt.com this past June, in which a GM spokesperson is quoted as saying: "We also aren't expecting our dealers to overcharge anyone for this vehicle, either, and will monitor the situation closely when we launch," adding, "we'll be paying close attention when the vehicle launches and do our best to strongly discourage this kind of behavior, as we always do with any GM-branded vehicle."

    GM is allowing Volt buyers to lease the plug-in hybrid for $350 a month (with a $2,500 down payment) when sales begin later this year, so it strikes us as odd that someone would choose to purchase a Volt outright if the dealer would tack on such an astronomical amount to the MSRP. Then again, there's the possibility that dealers might only allow purchases, negating the option to lease.

    With so much riding on the Volt's success - from GM's long-term environmental program to the political pressures over the federal bailout - the General better get its dealers in line post-haste. If not, the fallout has the potential to stymie the Volt's success before the first owner takes delivery.

  • Volkswagen confirms EVs for 2013, vehicles of the second generation again, in order to reduce the weight

    Filed under: Hatchback, Volkswagen, Electric



    Speaking outside its Electronics Research Lab in Palo Alto, California, Volkswagen chairman Dr. Martin Winterkorn reconfirmed the automaker's commitment to bring electric vehicles to market in 2013, beginning with the eGolf compact and eUp! city car.

    Drawing a faint parallel to the original Beetle, Winterkorn told the assembled media that "Volkswagen is working on the electric car for everyone." And one of the first electrified V-Dubs will be its bread-and-butter Golf hatchback.

    "The automotive industry is reinventing itself," Winterkorn continued, "and Volkswagen will be the first automaker to mass produce the electric car for everyone." VW believes that electric vehicles are the next great revolution in the automobile, and in order to achieve its goal of becoming the world's top automaker by 2018, it believes it has to dominate the EV segment.

    In addition to bringing two EVs to market in the next three years, the Touareg Hybrid (shown above) is being produced, with the hybrid Golf and Jetta due later that year and the hybrid Passat following in 2012. All of which VW considers to be interim products.

    Although current battery technology has limited the eGolf to a 100-mile range when fitted with a 26.5 kWh battery pack, Winterkorn asserts that "Our customers are not willing to compromise. They expect the same thing from a standard [internal-combustion engine] Golf as they would from an electric Golf." But until its partnerships with Samsung, Toshiba and other battery manufacturers pan out and develop lighter, smaller, less expensive and higher capacity batteries, they'll have their work cut out for them.

    When asked what VW plans to do about vehicle weight, Winterkorn rattled off a litany of advanced materials - from carbon fiber to magnesium - and told Autoblog that the next generation of Volkswagen products will undergo a weight loss program.

  • Observation: Toyota emphasizes that „we do not imply necessarily that all driver error is, not. "
    Under classifies: Recalls, security, Lexus, Toyota It is the word of the speaker of Toyota Mike Michels on the research of the motor vehicle technical designer to approximately 2,000 shown vehicles, in order to suffer from coincidental acceleration. Michels speaks with New York Times, and emphasized that few vehicles of Toyota had to stick exits with accelerator, while a large number of cases the interfering mats those were reminded before implied, to breed the pedals. However, he does not determine, of these cases an accident to the consequence had. Substantially and obviously in line with the report in former times of Wall Street Journal that the human error was possible the cause of the majority of the coincidental acceleration complaints, is „in the examples Michels so called, where they returned to have their foot on the braking pedal there very clear obviousness, which is it application of pedals. " Toyota emphasizes that its research remains continuous to all cases of coincidental acceleration, and for its part, NHTSA demands, further that he did not draw „a conclusion "regarding the causes.

  • Spy projectiles: More obviousness of the sho bull of 400 forces in horses?
    Classé dessous : Remarquez les photos, la berline, exécution, FordWhen que nous avons rapporté le mois dernier que Ford peut pousser le Taureau SHO jusqu'à 400 puissances en chevaux, il a causé tout à fait un stir dans les commentaires. Parler à la convention annuelle de SHO a tenu cette année à Dearborn, Steve Ling, directeur marketing nord-américain de la voiture de Ford nous a dit que, « 365 puissances en chevaux sont bonnes. 400 est meilleur. » Les mots sont une chose, mais les nouveaux projectiles d'espion du photog Brenda Priddy d'as et de sa troupe confirment que Ford prévoit certainement quelque chose pour le Taureau 2012 SHO. Il est assez facile repérer cet essai attrapé par Taureau Limité-badged de temps chaud dans l'ouest du sud comme SHO. Les roues SHO-spécifiques sont le don mort, mais nous soutiennent dehors voient également les grandes tuyères du SHO deux pousser hors d'une valence arrière modifiée. Ce qui est particulièrement intéressant est l'embout avant de la voiture, qui est fortement enveloppé, pour obscurcir très probablement des changements de conception des 2012 à l'embout avant SHO qui séparera plus loin son regard des modèles standard de Taureau. Tandis que nous là n'est aucune évidence dans ces projectiles d'espion confirmant que Ford pousse le litre EcoBoost V6 de la voiture 3.5 jusqu'à 400 puissances en chevaux, le fait que cette voiture était essai attrapé de temps chaud pourrait indiquer que les ingénieurs sont là pour voir comment une version plus puissante de ce moteur agit quand le mercure monte en flèche. Que dits, ils pourraient également juste examiner comment tous les changements à la conception d'embout avant affectent le moteur se refroidissant pour le moteur courant. Nous sommes également espérant eux examinons de nouveaux freins pour le SHO, parce que les taquets de la voiture courante ont assez d'ennui transporter en bas de cette berline lourde de dormeur sans encore 35 puissances en chevaux rendant des sujets plus mauvais.

  • The senate indicates the day of the evaluation of the collector motor vehicle 9 of July 2010

    Filed under: Classics, Etc., Government/Legal

    Cruise Night
    Cruise night is America - Click above for high-res image gallery

    If you're a collector-car owner, or simply one of the millions of Americans who celebrates the hobby by attending local car shows, weekly cruise-ins, and the like, you might want to make a special point of hitting your favorite Friday-night old-car haunt three weeks from now. That's because the United States Senate unanimously passed Senate Resolution 513 last month, officially designating July 9, 2010 as Collector Car Appreciation Day.

    The resolution, co-sponsored by Senators Jon Tester (D-MT) and Richard Burr (R-NC), states "that the collection and restoration of historic and classic cars is an important part of preserving the technological achievements and cultural heritage of the United States." Moreover, the text of the resolution points out that the hobby and the myriad related businesses supporting it provide jobs for people across all 50 states.

    In observance of the occasion, the resolution "encourages the people of the United States to engage in events and commemorations of `Collector Car Appreciation Day' that create opportunities for collector car owners to educate young people on the importance of preserving the cultural heritage of the United States, including through the collection and restoration of collector cars."

    It's easy to dismiss resolutions like this as pure frivolity, especially in the face of more pressing matters facing the nation. That said, these things get passed all the time in both houses of Congress, and Sens. Tester and Burr have a point. Not only does the collector car hobby help preserve important bits of Americana, those weekly cruises and shows encourage new generations to get involved and keep the pastime going (along with the industry that exists as a direct result of it).

    So, on July 9th, grab your family and friends, head to the local cruisers' gathering point, and celebrate what those men and women are preserving. It's American history: the kind you don't generally learn in schoolbooks.

  • The day of happy father of Autoblog

    Filed under: Etc.



    Today is Father's Day, and many of you doubtless have memorable, heartwarming, and amusing stories involving yourselves, your dads, and the various cars and trucks associated with the man of the house over the years. Sometimes, these involved a lot of yelling. These stories usually age well over the years, so let's hear 'em in the comments section. Some of the broader categories might include:
    • Great moments in home auto maintenance. For instance, John Neff's dad once decided to rebuild the engine in the family's Pontiac 6000. There were parts left over afterward. "It was never quite right after that," says Neff.
    • Road trip memories. Was your dad one to never seek directions? Did this make the annual family vacation more interesting in unexpected ways? Bonus if these stories involve heavily-laden large station wagons from the pre-minivan era.
    • Driver's ed. Remember when dad taught you how to drive? A lot of you probably have great memories associated with this. Don't forget: if no one actually got hurt, near-death experiences are funny in retrospect.
    • The master negotiator. When it came time to procure a new family car, was your dad the king of turning the tables on the plaid-tied fast-talkers at the dealership? Extra credit if the bounty was the fully-decked-out showroom queen that seemed completely unattainable when you guys walked through the door.
    • Jedi mind trick. Dad is the wheelman. He just nuked the local speed limit with extreme prejudice. A man in reflective aviator sunglasses with a large hat, a badge, and a gun is leaning into the window. The situation is hopeless. Only... it's not, and dad sends the lawman walking back to his black-and-white Dodge Polara smiling, no less. From here on out, you believe your dad could talk himself out of a Turkish prison.
    Those are just ideas. Your experiences and stories may vary. Regardless, it's all for fun. Share your favorite tales below, or heck, just feel free to wish your dad, your grandpop, your favorite uncle -- whomever -- a Happy Father's Day.

    From all of us to the dads reading today, have a good one.

  • Is this, which they like first of views of Porsche 911 turbo today

    Filed under: Motorsports, Classics, Coupe, Performance, Porsche, Misc. Auto Shows, Racing

    1973 Porsche 911 Turbo Factory Prototype
    1973 Porsche 911 Turbo factory prototype

    Some people attending the Greenwich Concours d'Elegance last weekend walked past this Porsche 911 Turbo, giving it nary a glance. After all, it was tucked a little out of the way, and even with its tweaked bodywork and decals, if you've seen one 911 Turbo, you've seen them all, right? Well, no. Anyone who paused long enough to read the info card owner Murray Smith placed front of the car learned that, in fact, this Turbo is more special than others. You see, it was the prototype - the first factory-turbocharged Porsche 911 road car, period.

    As the story goes, it began life as a regular '73 911S company car driven by Porsche chief engineer Helmuth Bott. From there, it won the Porsche genetics lottery when it was sucked into the automaker's experimental program to serve as the basis for the Turbo. As such, it became the first roadgoing Porsche 911 to get the turbo engine, along with the now-famous widebody treatment and whaletail.

    Once its developmental role was complete, it became the 911 Turbo display car for the Paris, Frankfurt, and Tokyo motor shows, but the story doesn't end there. Following a subsequent factory RSR conversion, this 911 Turbo was raced by Aussie Porsche importer Alan Hamilton during the mid-1970s. The icing on the cake for us came at the day's conclusion, when we got to hear the car fire up and get in line for the procession past the podium. It sounded like God on speakerphone. For a 911 with this provenance, that seemed entirely appropriate.

  • Report: General of engine wants more renifler outside the surname of „Chevy "[w/poll

    Filed under: Marketing/Advertising, Chevrolet, GM

    Bowtie

    Folks, there are bad ideas, and there ones that are legendary in their badness. Unfortunately for General Motors, it would appear that the automaker may very well be lobbying for its own wing in the Dumb Idea Hall of Fame. The New York Times reports that a memo distributed to workers at the company's headquarters earlier this week instructs them to cease referring to the Chevrolet brand by its long-standing nickname, Chevy. Going forward, only Chevrolet is to be used. The reasoning? So-called branding consistency. If you're thinking, "That's insane," well, we don't blame you.

    It gets better.

    The Times further points out that the memo, signed by Chevy marketing vice president Jim Campbell (you see what we did there) and Alan Batey, VP of Chevy sales and service (there we go again), uses Coke - Coke - as an example of what GM is trying to achieve with this approach. It would seem that the powers-that-be at the RenCen are oblivious to the irony that Coke is, of course, shorthand for the company's formal name, Coca-Cola.

    In a nutshell, we feel that the Coke comparison GM uses in the memo is ultimately rather apt, given that the idea of memory-holing "Chevy" as part of some absurd branding exercise seems destined to be a failure on the level of New Coke. GM's got its work cut out for itself, regardless. As of right now, Chevrolet.com has 5,480 "Chevy" mentions on it according to Google. GM.com? 1,730 more. That Chevy is inextricably tied to Chevrolet is a reality GM's marketers are apparently divorced from.

    We can't be the only ones who think this is perhaps the very worst in a long history of horrible ideas... So, what's your take? Hit the jump and have your say in our poll. Thanks to CpuYoda for the tip!

  • Tupolev 007: Attention, spaceman - your revolution here

    Filed under: Classics, Misc. Auto Shows, Military, Specialty, Russia, Design/Style

    Tupolev 007
    Tupolev 007 aerosled at the Greenwich Concours d'Elegance- Click above for high res gallery

    We'll provide a full recap of the 2010 Greenwich Concours d'Elegance later, but this morning, we wanted to share one of the cooler vehicles on display with you - and while it has gullwing doors and is as exotic as it gets, it's not even a car. While Cold War-era American astronauts were fished out of the drink by the U.S. Navy after splashdown, Soviet cosmonauts at the time faced a different set of risks when their spacecraft returned to Earth - namely, the possibility of landing in the Siberian wilderness. As such, a recovery vehicle was needed that could traverse varied terrain, operate in sub-zero temperatures, and move fast. Enter Russian aviation legend Aleksei Tupolev. His solution is seen here: the Tupolev 007 aerosled.

    The shallow-draft craft is powered by a 9-cylinder Vedenyev M14P radial aircraft engine generating 365 horsepower. Its interesting double-propeller is actually fixed, with the rear prop drafting the front blades to increase efficiency and make operation quieter. At speeds above 50 mph, the driver can engage a flap to lift the nose, allowing the 007 to skim the surface, meaning it can race across lakes, marshes, and snow with equal aplomb. The design reportedly won Tupolev the Diploma of Finest Engineer in the USSR (give the Soviets this: they had a flair for super-impressive-sounding awards), and you can go see it yourself if you're within easy travel distance of Greenwich, CT.

    Day 2 of the 15th Annual Greenwich Concours d'Elegance runs today from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM EDT, with foreign cars the featured element. Admission at the door is $25 (proceeds help benefit AmeriCares), and believe us, it's money well spent. We'll be there later today as well, and you can follow our tweets from the show by searching on the hashtag #GCDE.

  • The puertorikanische mourning house places the TIR victim on its motorcycle forwards [w/video

    David Morales Colon's unusual wake
    David Morales Colón's unusual wake. (Photo courtesy of Primera Hora) - Click above to watch video after the jump

    If you thought you'd previously seen it all, well, you're wrong. Case in point: David Morales Colón, a 22-year-old Puerto Rican man who was shot to death last Thursday, and whose wake is now making headlines here in the United States mainland. How come? Well, suffice it to say that the funeral directors at Marin Funeral Home in San Juan's Hato Rey neighborhood have a flair for the unorthodox. For example, in 2008, they embalmed another young shooting victim and displayed his body standing up for the duration of a multi-day wake.

    Back to the present: Yesterday and today, callers who stopped to pay their final respects to the late Mr. Colón got a bit of a surprise. Instead of the traditional presentation of the body in a casket, Mr. Colón's corpse, dressed in casual duds and sunglasses, was instead posed in a very lifelike position atop his Repsol-liveried Honda CBR600 F4. According to Puerto Rico's Primera Hora newspaper, the motorcycle was given to the victim by his uncle, and upon Mr. Colón's untimely demise, family members delivered the bike to the funeral home specifically for this unusual wake.

    Lest you think this is some sort of insane hoax, here's the link to the local Primera Hora newspaper coverage, which features a multi-shot photo gallery, and here's the less detailed Associated Press wire version that's presently making the rounds. Finally, we've got a video posted after the jump. We'll say this: David Morales Colón rides into the afterlife in memorable style. Thanks to Joel for the tip, and thanks to Wes Siler for the bike ID.
