Can the new Volvo XC60 with City Safety stop itself in the case of a stalled whale Video?
It’s called City Safety and its a new feature on the Volvo XC60.
What does it do?
Basically the system monitors the road ahead of the Volvo using a laser, and under 19 mph it will automatically stop the car if it thinks the XC60 is about to crash into a stopped car in case the driver fails to put on the brakes.
Think of it as if your husband or wife had a brake pedal on the passenger side of the car, and used it because you were too busy texting your friend Steve about the Cubs game to see the stalled blue Civic stopped ahead of you.
Did the EPA fudge (no make that distort) the GM Chevy Volt 230 mpg rating?
Here's an interesting question with an even more interesting answer.
The EPA, according to GM's CEO Fritz Henderson, is giving the new Chevy Volt a 230 mpg city rating.
The same EPA has given the all Electric BMW Mini E a 102 mpg city rating.
Now that's very strange and really odd considering that the Mini E is smaller and substantially lighter and thus potentially more energy efficient.
How to calculate mpg for the electric GM Chevy Volt
The General Motor Chevy Volt is a gas electric hybrid car like the Toyota Prius but with a twist.
The gas engine in the Chevy Volt charges up the car's battery which spins an electric motor which powers the wheels. Unlike the Toyota Prius, the Volt's engine never powers the wheels directly. This means that a Volt can run up to 40 miles on a full battery charge which is something the current Prius cannot do.
The GM Chevy Volt to get 230 mpg rating
The electric GM Chevy Volt is excepted to get a 230 mpg rating by the government when it goes on sale toward the end of 2010 according to General Motors.
"Having a car that gets triple-digit fuel economy can and will be a game changer for us," said GM CEO Fritz Henderson.
Starting today GM partners with eBay to sell new cars online
Beginning today and running until September 8th, yo['ll be able to buy new Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Pontiac car on http://gm.ebay.com…if you live in California that is.
The new partnership between eBay and General Motors is a test to see if the car builder can make new car sales work using the computer instead of the salesmen.
But don't be fooled. The GM eBay partnership will not allow consumers to purchase cars directly from GM, instead online shoppers are buying the car from a small group of California dealerships.
Review 2010 Subaru Forester 2.5XT: A backhanded compliment for a car that can easily wear skinny jeans
Have you ever had one of those moments when you are flying down the
road and you realize that the car you are driving fits you like an
expensive designer dress at your 20th High School reunion?
You think to yourself, this car is just perfect for me. I love the
way it looks, I love the way it drives, and I love how I look in it, I
want this car!
Strangely enough I had one of those moments with the newest and one
of the more powerful Subarus: the 2010 Foresters 2.5XT Limited.
I say strangely because the Forester is not the kind of car I think of myself as driving into the sunset.
