Winter Care Of Your Car
Some of the major issues that you will face with your car during winter are while trying to start your vehicle after a long gap. When temperatures are low, there is a possibility that the liquids in your car will not be as fluid as they are generally and therefore will not make for an easy start. You need to check if the antifreeze is at the right consistency required for low temperatures, check the threads of your tires and change them if required. Traction is very important while driving in slippery conditions and worn out tires are a bad option in such conditions. Check the car battery to see if it in good condition as cold starts will drain poor condition batteries and change the oil in your engine before winter.
Things To Do In Winter

General Auto Show in Geneva Sees New Car Brand Launched

Accessory Expert — Fri, 15 Mar 2013 08:37:24 +0000

Chinese-Israeli car brand launched
Geneva auto show is like all other auto show places in the world. It sees a lot of debuts that come in. Most are known brands that come in with new car models or remakes. Every auto shown here is a debut in its own right as it is a car model that is being launched and has not been on the roads before. However it is comparatively rare to see a new car brand being launched. That is not something that is seen every day. Recently Qoros is a car brand that was introduced in the Geneva auto show and despite Alfa Romeo 4C, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible and other glitzy cars, this car brand managed to steal the thunder that day.
Specifics
If you were not there to see it up front, here are few specifics:
The brand is a joint venture between a Chinese and an Israeli car brand
It was their first auto show
The first car to be displayed was the Qoros 3 Sedan
This was the first car of the brand to be offered in Europe
The initial manufacturing capacity of the car is 150000 units
It was found that the supercars drew in the biggest crowds unlike the 3 Sedan and the concept cars at the Qoros stand. There were certain unique features of the brand and the link with China has brought it into the spotlight very quickly.
Asian auto industry trends
China’s fast growing dominance in the car market is indicated by the following characteristics:
Asia has produced about 51 percent of the cars and trucks in the world in 2012
The share of the motor production in Japan has dropped from 16 to 11 percent
Even though brands like Kia and Hyundai have increased in the US market, the overall share of South Korea dropped in car production last year
China’s output has risen in comparison
Reasons to look out for China
The recent automobile trends indicate that, if a new Chinese brand has been launched in the European market, it might well be a sign to sit up and take notice:
Output of cars from China has risen in comparison to other Asian countries
It is the fourth ranking country when it comes to cars and trucks, a rank that was established in 2005
It claims 8.5 percent share in the global car manufacturing scenario
As the Chinese companies grow in wealth, it is hard for them to stay out of the US and the European markets
The Qoros brand has higher chances of succeeding as it has well established ties with Western designers and suppliers. Since it was launched in a neutral environment, it will allow people to take a neutral view of the car brand and give it a chance to prove itself. If one looks at the numbers, China is rapidly rising and it might fast become a contender with the likes of Japan and Germany.

Fiat Finally Decides Against Building The Maserati In Detriot

The Maserati Levante was initially planned to be built at the Chrysler Group’s Jefferson North Assembly Plant in America. However, Fiat has now decided against building the Maserati in Detroit and plans to build the Levante at its facility in Italy. According to the company spokesperson, the main reason for the change of plans was that due to the demand of the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Durango, the Detroit plant will be fully absorbed in making these two vehicles. However, industry insiders state that this is a part of a larger Fiat strategy to produce high end cars such as the Maserati and Alfa Romeo in Europe to revive the failing European business. Another reason may be that the Fiat factories in Italy were running at lower than 50% capacity and the company was afraid of the backlash of its Italian workers which would result in lower car sales in Italy. These losses would be something which might have become difficult to absorb for the prestigious automaker.

Chrysler Forced To Recall Its Mid Sized Cars For What Is Being Described As A Fuel Tank Issue
