Jeep Compass replacement to be produce in Italy (IT)

    Chrysler and Fiat will be investing more than $1.3bn into Fiat’s dated Mirafiori plant as part of a joint venture.

    The factory will be assembling future Jeep and Alfa Romeo models – including replacements for the Compass & Patriot compact SUVs — for international distribution, starting in late 2012.

    Fiat said the plan is to bring "a new platform from the U.S. to produce cars and SUVs for the Jeep and Alfa Romeo brands."

    Those models will include the midsize Alfa Romeo Giulia sedan and wagon, replacing the 159 and will be sold in both Europe and North America. Mirafiori also will construct compact premium SUVs for Alfa and Jeep. Alfa Romeo is aiming at the Audi Q5, BMW X3 and Mercedes GLK.

    These models will centre on a new Compact Wide platform, borrowed from Fiat's Compact platform, which underpins the Alfa Romeo Giulietta. The Compact Wide architecture is currently being equally engineered in Italy and North America.

    The Mirafiori assembly plant currently manufactures a verity of vehicles, from the Fiat Multipla to the Alfa Romeo MiTo. Its annual capacity will be increased from 250,000 to 280,000 units.Source URL: http://hayleyatwellstuff.blogspot.com/2010/11/

Vauxhall/Opel comfirms revival of Calibra sports car

    GM has officially confirmed the revival of the Calibra sports coupe.

    CEO of GM Europe, Nick Reilly said “I believe we should have one, so we will have one”.

    While details are very scares, the newcomer will have a 2+2 seating layout and will be inspired by the GTC Concept.

    The Calibra is likely to centre on the Insignia platform and will offer a wide-range of petrol and diesel engines. Flagship VXR/OPC Calibras may have all-wheel-drive and a turbocharged 2.8 litre V6, producing a muscular 321bhp (325 PS) and 435Nm (321 lb-ft) of torque.Source URL: http://hayleyatwellstuff.blogspot.com/2010/11/

Jaguar recalls XJ due to faulty windscreen wipers (U.S)

    According to the feds, Jaguar will be calling back 6,475 2010 – 2011 XJ sedans due to defective windscreen wipers, which could detach from the car.

    "The front wiper arms to spindle fixings were not torqued to specification during manufacturing," said NHTSA. "As a result, the securing nuts could fail to perform as intended, resulting in a loss of wiper arm synchronization and a clash of the wiper arms. If the wiper arms lose synchronization and clash, they could detach from the vehicle, reducing driver visibility and increasing the risk of a crash."

    Jaguar is not aware of any consumer reports of accidents or injuries recognised by the fault.

    Jaguar dealerships will guarantee the wiper arms are fitted firmly onto the spindle and the securing nuts will be tightened to the correct torque.

    The recall is likely to begin on 13th December. Owners can contact Jaguar on (800) 637-6837.Source URL: http://hayleyatwellstuff.blogspot.com/2010/11/

Saab to offer free iPad with 9-4X deposits, denies 9-4X of diesel engine

    Saab is looking too built up excitement by offering 9-4X customers a free iPad if they place an order before the end of February 2011.

    The customer is required to put down a $500 non-refundable deposit in order to get hold of the iPad. If buyers decide to cancel their order, they will effectively be buying a 16GB Wi-Fi iPad for same price Apple charges, however, Saab predicts that most reservations will end in vehicle deliveries.

    In related news, Saab won’t be selling the 9-4X SUV with a diesel engine in Europe said Saab CEO Jan Ake Jonsson.

    As he explained, "...we have to find one, we have to test it, we have to install it, validate it, and you are two years into the life cycle." Considering the 9-4X is expected to exist in its current form for five to six years, Jonsson says a diesel would have a "very short payoff period."

    The Saab 9-4X was mainly designed for the U.S market and will be available with two petrol engines; a 3.0 V6 262bhp (265PS) and a 296bhp 2.8T. The latter will be the only offered in Europe from August 2011.

    Jonsson has also confirmed Saab will begin distribution in China in 2011 and a similar deal for Russian distribution is possible within the next few weeks.Source URL: http://hayleyatwellstuff.blogspot.com/2010/11/

Dodge Charger General Lee

Pontiac G8 may return with a Chevrolet badge

    GM is apparently reviving the G8 sedan using Chevrolet. Like the previous G8, the rear-wheel drive sedan will be created by Holden.

    Rumours of a new G8 sedan under the Chevrolet brand have been spinning the Internet rumour, but a GM executive supposedly confirmed the survival of a project at the 2010 LA motor show.

    “We are definitely looking at that, although we have made no official announcement as yet,” GM senior engineer Al Oppenheiser said. “We are definitely looking at doing something with Holden for the retail market.”

    Others say that a few GM officials confirmed that the rear-wheel drive car has already been agreed.Source URL: http://hayleyatwellstuff.blogspot.com/2010/11/

Mercedes and BMW shorten Christmas break to cope with demand

    The end of the year is normally a slow phase for international car companies, but not for Mercedes and BMW. The German brands are facing growing demand and has forced the brands to postpone their holiday shutdowns.

    Last year saw Mercedes and BMW shut up shop for three weeks, however, that won’t happen this year. The executive car market has bounced back drastically, leaving ample orders to fill.

    Through the first 10 months of 2010, BMW (counting MINI and Rolls-Royce) has seen its global sales boost 13% to 1.19 million vehicles. During that same period, Mercedes sales have increased 12% to 1.04 million units.

    “Production capacity is the limiting factor at the moment,” Michael Rebstock, a spokesman for BMW said. “We are producing as much as we can and are happy for every additional shift we can get.”

    Both car firms will schedule two short breaks over the Christmas and the New Year’s for maintenance and restocking.Source URL: http://hayleyatwellstuff.blogspot.com/2010/11/

Honda may recall '05 Accord & Civic Hybrid over faulty brakes

    Honda may recall 16,826 ’05 Accord Hybrids and 25,864 Civic Hybrids after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration launched an investigation linking the Honda Accord Hybrid over unplanned acceleration claims.

    The NHTSA announced that it has launched an initial investigation over the Accord Hybrid after receiving a complaint related to a crash that happened in 2005.

    According to a woman who sent the complaint, her ‘05 Accord lost control after driving on rumble strips on the side of a highway. The lady applied the brakes, but the car allegedly accelerated out of control. The car crossed into oncoming traffic, killing the passenger and critically injuring the driver and occupants of the other car.

    Ever since the accident, the woman has discovered 22 other complaints in the NHTSA database alike to her accident, all involving Accord Hybrids or Civic Hybrids. The other 22 complaints quoted poor brake performance on bumpy surfaces.

    Although no formal investigation has been launched, it sounds as if one is forthcoming. Both Toyota and Ford were forced to fix some of their hybrid vehicles after receiving similar complaints about braking over rough surfaces.Source URL: http://hayleyatwellstuff.blogspot.com/2010/11/

Oprah gives free 2012 Beetles to audience (U.S)

    As part of Oprah's Ultimate Favourite Things giveaway, the multi-millionaire is giving every member of her audience a forthcoming 2012 Volkswagen Beetle, including taxes. The last time Oprah gave away car – she gave her audience Pontiac G6's – some had complexity accepting the gift because of the taxes they owed.


    This promotion is sees Oprah giving her audience members lavish and pricey surprise gifts of all kinds of things.

    Jonathan Browning, President and CEO of Volkswagen of America, said that Winfrey approached the car firm about the giveaway, stating that as an owner of the current New Beetle, it has been one of her Favourite Things.

    Oprah made the statement in front of an outline of the forthcoming model, after she drove her New Beetle on stage. While Browning confessed that Oprah had been given a preview at the finished product, her 275 audience members will be in the shadow about their new car look until Volkswagen premier the Beetle at a later. Audience members will take delivery of their cars next Autumn when Volkswagen begins production at its Mexico plant in Puebla.

    Volkswagen executives has remained tight-lipped about the future Beetle, however, CEO Browning did reveal that it will feature Bluetooth, touch screen navigation, branded audio systems, ambient lighting, 19” alloy wheels, sports seats and sports suspension.

    Volkswagen is keen to 'degender' the new Beetle (seen as a woman’s car and driven by mainly women). The German car manufacture needed to use Oprah Winfrey in promotions, in order for the next Beetle to be a success.

    Mechanically, the 2012 Beetle will be offered with a 2.0 TDI diesel engine with clean diesel technology and a 2.0T petrol engine, in the U.S anyway. The international market will have a wider range of petrol and diesel units. We expect European models to be equipped with a 1.2 TSI 105bhp, 1.4 TSI and a 2.0 TSI petrol engines. A 1.6 TDI and 2.0 TDI will also be offered.

    First the first time ever, the diesel powerplants will find their way under the bonnet of the Beetle Cabriolet. In the pipeline, may be a hybrid variant and a high-performance GTI model.

    Press Release:

    On "The Oprah Winfrey Show," Volkswagen revealed the design silhouette of its all-new 2012 Volkswagen Beetle, and then shocked her audience – by giving each of them a 2012 Volkswagen Beetle.

    The all-new 2012 Volkswagen Beetle is an automotive icon, reinvented. The all-new, completely redesigned vehicle has been dramatically revolutionized by the same engineers and designers that brought the GTI and CC to life. After 12 years, the heart and soul of Volkswagen has evolved, exemplifying Volkswagen's engineering excellence, power, styling and sophistication.

    Oprah owns and drives a New Beetle and asked Volkswagen to help her recognize the time, talents and contributions of select viewers by giving them one of her favorite things, a Volkswagen Beetle. As one of the most iconic vehicles in America, everybody, including Oprah has a Volkswagen Beetle story and this reveal kicks off the next chapter of a great saga. Volkswagen is donating two hundred seventy-five 2012 Beetles plus applicable taxes and fees, to each member of today's studio audience.

    "Oprah Winfrey and the Volkswagen Beetle are two American icons, so when the "Oprah" show approached us with this incredible opportunity to share her Beetle experience with deserving viewers, we instantly wanted to be a part of it," said Jonathan Browning, President and CEO, Volkswagen Group of America. "Our all-new 2012 Beetle exemplifies power, styling and sophistication, and is an automotive icon reinvented to create the new shape of performance."

    As revealed today, the new Beetle will feature a sportier, more aggressive stance, and features sleeker styling and a wealth of new technologies that provide a heightened driving experience. It is also customizable, with options that will offer the performance, styling, accessories and features that will appeal to everyone from the driving enthusiast to the driver motivated by value, excellent fuel economy and nostalgia.

    The 2012 Beetle will be revealed in the spring of next year and will be available in showrooms next fall. U.S. pricing is not yet set, but with trim packages and unprecedented personalization and customization options, the Beetle will offer the performance, styling, accessories and features that will ensure there will be a Beetle everyone.

    The new design lines draw upon the vehicle's legacy, but the 2012 Beetle will be a true, performance driving machine perfected by German engineering, offering a wealth of technologies that will provide a heightened driving experience over the previous generation. The 2012 vehicle is sporty, aggressive and comes with Volkswagen's carefree maintenance and known safety standards. The vehicle will offer dual exhaust, 19-inch wheels, sport seats and new, sleeker styling. New technologies, like Bluetooth, touch screen radio, branded audio speaker systems, navigation and unique ambient lighting provide a heightened driving experience.
