Mercedes has generalized the turbo before the end of 2010

While the next American and European standards on discharges of polluting emissions appear even more drastic, manufacturers seek and develop solutions to stay in the nails. Among these tracks, the widespread future turbos last generation is a Mercedes. Implemented at all models by the end of 2010.

In order to ensure more efficient vehicles, Mercedes table therefore, as the first phase of development, widespread turbo: new engines less rich engine capacity, cleaner environment, and therefore which will be transplanted to a turbo to protect the powerful whole. "No later than the end of 2010 all our vehicles boarded a series of turbo," confirmed Thomas Weber, responsible for research and development at Daimler. Smallest, cleaner and efficient: what else?

Mercedes has long worked on other areas such as hybrid vehicles (a special variation of the S-Class débarquerait this year) to prepare to zero emission electric models which will be the first point the tip of his nose in just two years . This will be a Smart Fortwo electrical and perhaps Classes A and B. Certainty, by 2015 the firm to the star is eager to get out of its dependence on oil…

Cadillac CTS Wagon

Tuesday's press conference at GM leaked number of photos of future models of the group. Today, a new just made its appearance, that of the Cadillac CTS Wagon.

Second break in the history of the mark, after the BLS, this new model is distinguished by a spectacular style, marked by an amount behind a thick novel. Although in the spirit Cadillac, in line with the CTS coupe, this new version should delight fans of originality. A real novelty being awaited with impatience to see the truth. I am of the opinion that it would break a Chrysler 300C almost fade.

British Motorshow: Citroën C-Crosser utility

After Land-Rover and Ssangyong, it is the turn of Citroën converted his SUV in addition to utility-round.

Under British law, to become a utility, the C-Crosser lost its rear seat and rear windows are tôlées. Citroen has also installed a separation between the driver and loading.

As a result, the C-Crosser offers a volume of 1.72 m long and 0.6 m tall. Either a total volume of 2.3 m3, 743kg loading or 2 410kg in traction.

It is available only with the 2.2 l HDI 160ch. It always makes 0-100 in 9.9 seconds and reaches 200km / h.

Two versions are available: VTR to £ 16 995 (HT) or VTR + £ 18 425.

Toyota Aygo

The Toyota Aygo is a car that also amusing sketches recent Guignols de l'info. To rectify this a little, Toyota Holland designed the Xposed, a little Aygo tunée.

So far to describe the inner faux wood, there was the qualifier "Burl formica." How to describe the false carbon? (I am holder of any suggestion of both evocative and comic.)

If I ask the question because Toyota Holland has used and abused black plastic imitation carbon. There are on shields, mirrors and door handles. In addition, she receives a roof painted in black, before a spoiler, a rear spoiler, low cash, a sport exhaust and 15-inch rims.
The interior point of faux carbon, but driving a sport sheathed in white leather and meters surrounded by white plastic.

KIA Soul

Since the foretaste presented in Geneva, is languishing in true to see the final version of the Kia Soul. This will be on October 2, the Mondial de l'Automobile in Paris, and we will. In the meantime, here are some new photos and info on the future competitor of Toyota Urban Cruiser.

First, this model is compact, according to its urban mission. Length of 4.10 m, 1.78 m width and height of 1.61 m. The wheelbase is 2.55 m. The engines will be 1.6 litres, petrol and diesel from the range Cee'd and all versions are two-wheel drive. For the USA and certain markets outside Europe, a 2.0 l gasoline will also be available.

Asked positioning, the Soul targets young, or at least the "young at heart." It seems fairly well party, with a strong style, far better placed to attract as its main competitor, the Urban Cruiser. Let us hope that the interior is the height and avoids the philosophy "Black is black" usual at Kia. A priori, therefore, this model has many strengths, which should add a supposed good reliability, like that of the Cee'd. If it is more practical, it might encroach on the lands of Grand Modus Renault, Nissan Note, Citroen C3 Picasso and other Opel Meriva.
