  1. [extract] To tell you the truth, the American automaker Ford actually planned to market the Ford Fiesta facelift in December last year. However, as it turned out, it was but too much an ambition as the model actually made its debut one month after in the hometown of panda, China. Built by Ford in collaboration with the Chinese Chang
  2. With the recent introduction of an open-top concept of the Toyota 86 at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, it seems that Toyota have been rather busy with their new model. And at the same time, they are considering to launch a top range version of the Toyota 86 that will be powered by a hybrid drivetrain. Tetsuya Tada, Toyota's chief engineer, has stated that designers at the Japanese auto firm have already begun work on the 86's mid-cycle facelift. The facelift model will receive some changes on the bodywork and on top of that, there will be a more powerful version of the car. It will use either a turbocharger, a supercharger or an effective hybrid powertrain that will squeeze every last horsepower out of the boxer engine. Tada also mentioned that a hybrid solution is highly possible and will bring benefits that forced induction devices do not. Additionally, he also stated on why the company did not release a more powerful version of the Toyota 86 and also a convertible model immediately after its launch. The management considered the 86 a huge risk and they needed proof that the sports coupe would hit sales target before they agree on a convertible and a powerful variant of the car. Since now they have that proof, the management can think of new ways to develop the car. If Toyota agrees on the hybrid solution, the petrol/electric powertrain will be considered a simple and inexpensive choice as they already have that technology. One of the things that they need to consider is the extra weight these hybrid powertrains pose.
  3. Hi All Does anyone know where I can buy and fit the headlights from the new S-class on a prefacelift one? Thanks!
  4. The completely redesigned Kia Optima K5 sedan made its debut back at the 2010 New York Motor Show. Now, the K5 is getting ready to receive a cosmetic update. Photos of the heavily-camouflaged Optima facelift have been captured in its home town of South Korea. Thanks to the extensive cladding, the styling updates on the Optima are well hidden. However, from one of the front angle, one can spot the modified head light combination which features two individual circular housing units. In addition, there appears to be a new LED strip above the head lights. The covered-up boot may mean that there could be some modifications made to the boot and taillight combination. The design of the alloy rims looks identical to the current model. With the facelift, one of the items in my wish list is for the 274bhp 2.0-litre turbo version to make it to the Asian market.

  10. As I write this article, the 2012 Chicago Auto Show (08-09 Feb) has opened its doors for many eager visitors who have come to see what the automotive industry has in store for them. And at the same show, Nissan is officially showing its facelifted 2013 370Z which will go on sale in most markets around the world starting from this June. The refreshed look on the car features a number of changes and it will be available for both coupe and convertible models. The facelifted 370Z will also come in a Nismo Z trim. Future buyers of the car will get the same exact engine and transmissions used in the pre-facelift model but there will be some engine enhancements for the Nismo Z version. Let

    Audi updates the A4

    Audi has officially unveiled the 2012 A4 / S4 facelift, to rise up to the challenge of the all new BMW 3 Series. The refreshed A4s gain Audi's new six-point grille and sharper looking headlamps with LED daytime running lights that form a narrow band. Also new are redesigned front and rear bumpers and tweaked tail lights with LED strips. On the inside, the cabin gains a new steering wheel, revised trim and additional chrome accents. Other changes include an updated infotainment system. On the engine front, Audi says consumption levels have dropped by 11 percent on average, despite the increased power and torque of many of the engines. The A4 sedan and Avant will be offered with the new 1.8 liter TFSI petrol that delivers 170hp and 320 Nm of torque. In the sedan, it returns a combined fuel economy of 5.6 L/100 km with CO2 emission of 134 g/km. This represents a 19% decrease in consumption compared with the previous 160hp engine. The most potent engine available in the series is the 3.0 liter V6 TFSI that produces 272hp in the A4 and 333hp in the S4. The latter is available in both sedan and Avant variants. The S4 sedan sprints from 0 to 100km/h in 5.0 seconds and reaches an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h while returning an average fuel consumption of 8.0 L/100 km (I doubt any hot-blooded S4 driver would be able to achieve that!). The 1.8L version will be offered with a continuously variable multitronic transmission while Quattro versions will be mated to the 7 speed S tronic double clutch transmission. Audi added that the mounts of the rear suspension control arms are new and the characteristics of the shock absorbers have been re-tuned. The electromechanical power steering is also new in all models of the A4 series.
  14. The RS5 is considred to be the highest performance version of the Audi A5 series. Before I continue about the upcoming 2013 Audi RS5 facelift, let me talk a bit about the RS5 for those who are not familiar with it. Intially presented at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show, the RS5 features a naturally aspirated 4.2 litre V8 engine. It produces 444 bhp and 430 N m or torque. It solely comes with a 7 speed S-tronic transmission. Enough talk about the RS5, lets continue about its facelift. The biggest change the Audi RS5 receive is on its front end. While the overall shape remains unchanged, the centre grille gets Audi's new clipped top corners and more subtle grille trimming. The headlights are more chiseled now compared to the old rectangular ones. The line of LEDs on the old headlights are replaced with more modern looking light tubes that runs almost around the headlights housing. The side window trim is now black instead of a metallic shade. The new taillights housing cover are of a darker shade. Interior wise, Audi didn't change much except for a new steering wheel and gear knob. What remains unchanged are the engine, transmission, suspension and its all-wheel drive components but the brake rotors gets a revised design which shaves a total of almost 3kgs on all four corners of the car.

  19. ...even if the ruling party lose? From Channel News Asia website: http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/sin...1116216/1/.html GE: S$90m facelift for Whampoa still on the cards SINGAPORE : Minister of State in the Prime Minister's Office Heng Chee How has said a S$90 million programme to spruce up Whampoa is still on the cards despite the electoral boundary changes. The S$90m programme is part of the S$460 million facelift for Jalan Besar GRC announced in January. Mr Heng said the team of People's Action Party MPs will go ahead with the plan, if given the chance to do so. He told MediaCorp: "Jalan Besar GRC has come up with a five-year masterplan. This plan is our group's promise to the people that if we get the chance to do it, we will do it." It was a chance for residents to raise national issues to a visiting minister on Sunday. Instead, the hour-long dialogue was dominated by the airing of local issues. These issues included too few schools, inadequate banking facilities and the absence of a polyclinic. Transport was another concern. The Whampoa bus terminal is several decades old and in some residents' view, badly in need of an upgrade. But that is not their only grouse over transport issues. Some feel that bus networks serving the area could be better improved, while others are unhappy that they have to go to neighbouring Toa Payoh and Novena just to do something as simple as topping up their ez-link fare cards. Mr Heng said he has approached the public transport operators to provide top-up machines, and notes that there are top-up facilities at the community club and certain retail outlets like 7-11. He also told MediaCorp that a S$500,000 contract has been awarded to refurbish the 28-year-old bus terminal, and to provide for wheelchair-friendly access. Work is expected to start in the next few months, and could take about a year. Residents said they have seen some small improvements over the years, but note that some of these concerns have been raised time and again. One resident, Tina Nirmal, hopes the situation will change after the General Election. She said: "Whampoa used to be part of Jalan Besar GRC, it used to be part of a bigger entity. Maybe right now, because it is now a separate SMC, there is going to be more focus, a separate plan for us. We will have to wait and see what happens." Their MP, Mr Heng, said he has been working to plug the gaps, but said that in some ways, Whampoa is just too small. He said decisions to site amenities often depend on the presence of a critical mass. The estate has some 24,000 residents now, of which about one in three is aged 50 and above. With the redrawing of the electoral boundaries, however, Whampoa Single Member Constituency will have about 33,000 residents. The new Whampoa Single Member Constituency is carved out of the current Jalan Besar and Tanjong Pagar Group Representation Constituencies. Mr Heng said: "Within this one square kilometre, we try to do the best we can within here, never saying that it is perfect. At the same time, we do not imagine that this less than one square kilometre is the universe. "Therefore, we also have to tap on the surrounding area as our hinterland, so that we access their services as well. And I think that would be a smart way of doing things." Separately at the dialogue, one resident asked why work permit holders needed permission from the authorities before they could get married. Singaporeans who want to marry a work permit holder or former work permit holder need to apply to Ministry of Manpower's Controller of Work Permits for permission. In response, Home Affairs and Law Minister K Shanmugam said work permit holders typically earned low wages. Allowing them to settle here would add a cost to society. Mr Shanmugam said: "They are going to need services, they are going to use medical services. Somebody has got to pay for it, right? That could be you and me." He said such cases are currently considered on a case-by-case basis. --------- "Mr Heng said: "Within this one square kilometre, we try to do the best we can within here, never saying that it is perfect. At the same time, we do not imagine that this less than one square kilometre is the universe. " Also very unwise to make this type of statement. Does it imply that yours is a small estate so DON'T ask too much? Wonder how the voters there feel about this...
