New Ideas for Better Living

As thousands of dealers nationwide await a decision from both Chrysler and General Motors on which lots to close, they're also adjusting to what will likely be a 11-million-unit sales market this year. That's down considerably from the 13.2 million units sold in 2008.

Part of that adjustment? Managing how many vehicles they have on the lot at once. Leave too many Toyota RAV4's sitting unsold on the lot and the market will adjust accordingly, rapidly depreciating values and resale prices. Provide too few, and dealers lose money on sales they could--and should--have made.

"They want to make sure that they're making their bets, that things are turning and that their bets are right, because it's very costly to them to hold too much inventory," says Mike DiGiovanni, GM's executive director of global market analysis. "They've been burned bad in the last two years."

DiGiovanni says GM dealers are taking a cue from Asian brands like Toyota--thanks to some disciplined inventory management, the Prius and Lexus GX are in high demand and as a result have retained their residual values well. Those cars join entries from Europe--Audi's Q5 and BMW's X5--as some of the hardest-to-get cars on the market today.

Behind The Numbers

To compile our list of the country's most-popular 2010 vehicles, we used day-supply data provided by Ward's Automotive Group, a publisher of industry trade news and data, as well as automaker-supplied data as a measure of dealer inventory levels. A low days' supply and low retail turn rate--the amount of time a car spends on a dealer's lot--means some dealerships may have sold out of a vehicle, have only a few of them on the lot, or have limited choices for style and trim. The scarcity is due to several factors, chief among them the popularity of a certain model and how disciplined dealers and automakers are with production and inventory management.

Vehicles with the lowest days' supply made our initial list (Ward's says the industry average is 63 days), which was pared down using J.D. Power and Associates' average retail turn rate for each segment in November. The average retail turn rate for all vehicles is 48 days. It's 32 days for Asian brands, 47 days for brands in Europe, and 63 days for domestics. For this list, we evaluated only vehicles from major automakers, not limited-production models that sometimes have years-long waiting lists for bespoke treatments and individualization.

Day supply rates depend on a number of different factors, says Jeff Schuster, the executive director of automotive intelligence for J.D. Power and Associates. One big determinant is the number of trim levels available for any given vehicle. Trucks, for instance, with their myriad of bed-length, payload and transmission options, require dealers to stock more of them, in order to be able to cater to consumers with varying tastes in trucks. That is also one reason why domestics like Ford and GM tend to have higher overall day supply rates: 4 of 20 of their 2010 model-year line comprises trucks, while only one out of 18 vehicles at Honda (the $28,450 Ridgeline) are pickup trucks.

"It could also mean that because you're stocking more variety, you may have some that aren't hot sellers right now or aren't meeting the needs of the consumers in your general area, and those will then sit on the lot a lot longer, which affects the days-to-turn rate," Schuster says.

Asian brands also have shorter rates because they're imports--cars like the $16,550 Toyota Matrix could sit on a boat for weeks until they're needed on dealer lots.

Hot Ticket Items

The $56,300 BMW X6 and $21,500 Toyota RAV4 are two of the most elusive models of the moment. They're hot too. The X6's unique "sport-coupe" look and car-like handling have won it converts from larger crossovers. No wonder: The X6 35i xDrive uses a twin-turbo, V6 engine to get 300 horsepower and a 0-60 time of 6.3 seconds.

Toyota's RAV4 is popular in part because of its practicality--it has the space of a small SUV and respectable fuel economy (22 miles per gallon in the city and 28 mpg on the highway). Luxury appointments like halogen headlamps, optional hill-start and -descent control, and power side mirrors, not to mention exemplary reliability reviews in Consumer Reports, make it a viable choice for drivers looking for a strong all-around car.

Wait times for getting an in-demand vehicle vary widely. Sometimes dealers can swap a car with another lot, literally producing the desired model overnight. If there is a waiting list for something like the Prius (there have been in past years, but not currently), the delay could take months, says Wade Hoyt, a spokesman for Toyota. And a special order for an out-of-stock combination of options or colors could take six weeks if the car is shipped from a U.S. factory or several months if it's shipped all the way from Japan.

Next year, at least, expect to see much the same availability for the models on our list--although there may be some hope of getting into the likes of a BMW X3 sooner rather than later. Joe Greenwell, a researcher for Ward's Automotive Group, says it's difficult to accurately forecast what to expect--but Cash for Clunkers pulled ahead some demand that would have otherwise panned out this spring, creating a larger lot-supply of some vehicles than would have otherwise existed.

"It's hard to tell, because it depends on how the economy goes, but if anything supply rates will stay the same or go up a little, I would think," he says.

Practical Auto Insurance Tips

2009-11-06T01:12:00.000-08:00

There are a lot of things taken into account before you buy auto insurance. The most fundamental factor in finding the auto insurance is least expensive offer with widest coverage. Another important factor is claim handling from an insurance company since insurance is an intangible product in which we will know the quality of the product after a claim happens. Below are just few tips before you decide to buy the auto insurance.

Tip 1: What kind of Basic Coverage Do You Want?
Insurance coverage reflects risks that you face especially when driving your car. It means when you drive on congested traffic you will face more risks. In this situation you need to buy comprehensive cover, plus additional covers like liability of third party, personal accident and many more. On the other hand, if you only drive your car once a week perhaps you will need narrower cover or total loss only (TLO) cover. The wider coverage costs more premium. In other words, you have to be sure the coverage you buy is really based on actual risks you have. If you are not sure what risks you have, you may discuss with customer service at your insurance company or insurance agent/broker.

Tip 2: Review Your Accident/Loss Record
When you are planning to buy car insurance you should ask yourself whether you are a bad or good driver. If you have poor accident or loss record, you need wide coverage. Another point you have to consider is deductible. Try to get the lowest deductible, so when you propose a claim, you do not have to pay a lot money. Usually, insurance companies will charge higher premiums once they know that you are a bad driver.

Tip 3: Compare as Many Insurance Quotes as Possible
The best way to find the best offer is by comparing all quotes. You can do this by researching the premiums of all insurers. You have to remember the cheapest premium does not mean the best offer. Why? Some important points like coverage, deductible, claim handling, and reputation of insurers should be taken into account. For example one insurance company offers wide coverage with low premium but when a claim happens, the claim handling is very slow and disappointing. In this case, low premium means nothing. Another point to look at insurers is their financial reports in the last three years. If an insurance company still makes profit, the company is still considered financially healthy as the company still has some capability to pay claim.

Tip 4: How much discounts do they offer?
Discounts are very important since they can reduce your premium. In fact, insurance companies provide various discounts based on good driving record, favorable credit score, safety equipment (for example, antilock brakes), certain occupations or professional affiliations and more. If you are a driver with excellent driving record and there is nothing wrong with your car, probably you will get the biggest discount.

Tip 5: Review the Terms and Conditions of Policy
The last step before you sign insurance contract is to read the policy wording. At least you understand your rights and obligations. Rules related to premium payment, scope of over and claim procedures are very important to understand. If you are not about something you can ask the customer service or discuss with your insurance agent or broker. When you have full understanding of the policy contract, there will no “ dispute’ when a claim happens.

How much you spend on gasoline is what and how you drive

2009-11-04T01:26:00.000-08:00

Car owners are always worried when suddenly they hear gasoline prices will go up. It is quite natural as higher gasoline prices mean they have to spend more money. One thing that some of car owners or drivers do not realize is that how to save gasoline is not just a matter of gasoline prices but also driving habits and car choices. Below are just a few tips which you can apply in order to save your expense on gasoline.

1. Be sure that what you drive is the most suitable car for your need. Driving a truck or SUV costs more than driving a city car. In other words, you need to consider your car choice. Here is one example. You have a nice SUV and always drive it around a city area. In this situation, you need to change your SUV with a city or compact car.

2. Drive properly. Whenever you drive, you have to maintain your speed all the time. Try not to step the brake too often. Your patience will save your money.

3. Think of a car with best fuel consumption. You can try hybrid cars as these cars consume less gasoline and produce lower emission. Some hybrid cars like Toyota Prius and Honda Insight are available in the market now.

4. Walk or bike more. It means you do not have to drive if you can walk or go by bike since your trip is too short. Another benefit is that walking and biking more is good for your health.

5. Avoid congested traffic. It is not easy especially for those who live in the crowded city. At least you must know when and where the traffic is busy.

6. If you commute, you can take a train. You can save your time and money. You also have more time for relaxing during your trip. You can read a morning newspaper or even sleep.

7. Don’t be too long when you warm-up the engine. Long warm-up is not necessary and consumes more gasoline.

8. Don’t run your automobile air-conditioner when you do not need it. Running the air-conditioner consumes more gasoline and reduces miles per gallon of gasoline.

9. Maintain your car properly by following your owner’s manual. A poorly tuned engine could consume three to nine percent more gasoline than a well-tuned one.

10. Always set your tire pressure correctly. Keep your tires inflated at the recommended pressure. Tire pressure that is too low will increase rolling resistance and reduce gas mileage. You can lose about two percent in fuel economy for every pound of air pressure under the recommended pounds per square inch.

11. Switch off your engine when you stop for more than one minute. (This does not apply if you are in traffic.) Restarting the automobile will consumes less gasoline than idling for more than one minute. Don't wait until you unfasten your seat belt, switch off the lights, switch off the air-conditioner, gather items from the seat to take with you, etc. before you turn off the engine. When you turn off the ignition, your gasoline costs stop.

12. Refill at night. During day time the temperature is hotter and if you refill during the day time some of gasoline will evaporate due to the hot temperature.

13. Try so shift from automatic to manual transmission. The fact is that manual transmission can save a lot fuel consumption.

14. If you take a long trip, try to switch on a cruise control. This is also a smart way to save gasoline as the speed of your vehicle is always stable.

15. Shift into neutral position when you are stopping. By doing this you cool off the transmission.

16. Make your car lighter. Empty your trunk as this can reduce the weight of your car. Lighter car needs less energy.

17. Try to combine trips. If you live outside of town, try to go into town only once and get everything you need done.

18. Close your window. Opening window can result more turbulences and your car needs more energy to move. This can cause more fuel consumption.

19. Avoid filling gas tank to maximum limit. Overfilling results in sloshing over and out of tank. Never fill gas tank past the first "click" of fuel nozzle, if nozzle is automatic

Hopefully the above tips are useful for reducing your gasoline cost. Last but not least is you have to drive wisely.

Kijang Innova 2.7V : The Latest Version of Toyota Kijang Innova

2009-11-03T01:22:00.000-08:00

If you visit Indonesia I bet you will meet Toyota Kijang anywhere on the main roads of major cities like Jakarta. For most Indonesians, Toyota Kijang is considered as a legend of multipurpose van . The reason for being a legend is that this car is so popular across the country. It seems everyone loves this car.

Basically Toyota Kijang is a 7 passenger vehicle. Today, the latest edition of Toyota Kijang Innova, Kijang Innova V2.7, is available in the market. In terms of passenger capacity, this latest version is same as previous ones. However, it is completely different in terms of engine type, interior and exterior design, and dimension.

PT Toyota-Astra Motor (TAM) introduced the Toyota Kijang Innova 2.7V a few years ago in order to broaden the market share of the passenger car segment.

The new version is equipped by an inline, four-cylinder, 2,700 cc engine with variable valve timing with intelligence (VVT-i) technology. This new engine is able to produce 160 horsepower (hp) at 5,200 rpm of top power and 339 Newton meter (Nm) at 3,800 rpm of maximum torque. This is the most powerful engine ever made for Kijang Innova.

It also applies catalytic converter for better emission. PT Toyota-Astra Motor (TAM) recommends unleaded fuel for best engine performance and better fuel consumption.

So far the Kijang Innova (previous version) has come with two engine types: 2,000 cc gasoline engine with VVT-i technology and the 2,500 cc diesel engine with direct 4-stroke diesel turbo common-rail (D-4D) technology. Transmission is also available in automatic or manual option.

What makes The Kijang Innova 2.7V different is the transmission technology. Unlike previous Kijang Innova which use conventional automatic transmission, The Kijang Innova 2.7V applies electronic control transmission (ECT) technology.

Leather seats and an audio system with a six CD changer and MP3 player are standard features for The Kijang Innova 2.7V.

PT Toyota-Astra Motor (TAM) also cares about safety. The Kijang Innova 2.7V comes with dual supplemental restraining system (SRS) air bags and additional seat belts in the third-row seat.

PT Toyota-Astra Motor (TAM) provides a guarantee of three years or 100,000 kilometers, whichever comes first.

The Kijang Innova 2.7V is the most luxurious MPV ever made among all other Toyota Kijang.

Below is just a short review of 2009 All new Honda City.
Completed with a totally new exterior style and some elements of the stylish Accord, the 2009 model is completely different from the previous generation. The new version of exterior gives impression that all forces end at the front side and the streamline design looks like “arrow”.
The new engine, which is also same as the one used by the new Honda Jazz, is equipped with i-VTEC technology which provides excellent performance and flexibility without sacrificing fuel economy or emission factor. The new engine gives the Honda City 100PS, 17 PS increase over the previous model. This powerful engine can achieve 0-100 km/h in just 11.8 seconds for the manual version while the automatic version hits 100 in 14.7 seconds.
In order to have smoother changes, the manual transmission for Honda City is a modified with carbon synchromesh. The Automatic transmission is all-new and adds the option to shift gears with steering wheel mounted paddles for the first time.
The 2009 model has been improved in terms of quality of materials, aesthetics and functionality. Bigger storage capacity around the cabin including a bigger glove box improves practicality, while a new design of seats improves passenger and driver comfort.
The design changes are complimented by several improvements to the Noise Vibration and Harshness technologies applied to the car. A host of new features in the body, interior, suspension, engine and mountings have been included to bring further refinement to Honda's newest sedan. The NVH enhancements allow customers to make the most of the new audio system which offers iPod connectivity and better sound quality.

Collaboration of Subaru and Toyota

2009-10-29T03:23:00.000-07:00

Collaboration Toyota and Subaru to create a complete sports sedan. Toyota introduced during the show, the Tokyo Motor Show 2009 (TMS) with the opening of the veil of FT-86 - before the President of Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC), Akio Toyoda, although still a draft.

But for the Japanese domestic market, the FT-86 uses code 86A, 87A and 88A. Was made U.S. and European markets with a number above.

Subaru gave the vehicle code 216A, even if they are not actually appear in the TMS. But in terms of their size sedan over long and wide, weighs more weight was 100 kg.

Regarding the engine, if the speculation had led 216A turbo 2.0L boxer engine powered 160-DK. Capacity problem is real, but not from a boxer, but if not 2.0 GT or WRX STI. They say that its strength is estimated at 250 or 308 dk. For the engine this last use of ITS.

2009 VW Golf GTI

2009-10-28T02:28:00.000-07:00

Like the 2009 VW Golf VI, the 2009 VW Golf GTI is a lot like the old car, just a little bit better. Power comes courtesy of the same EA888 2.0-litre turbo used in the Edition 30 MK V, making 207 HP and 206 Lb-Ft. Looks-wise VW wanted to make the new GTI looks lower and meaner than the MKV. Thank the wide lower air dam for that. Of course, the question in everyone’s mind is: how fast is it?

0-60 come in at a somewhat disappointing 7.2 seconds, while it’ll hit a top speed of 149 MPH. Handling will be boosted by DCC active damping.

There’s also talk of both a 265 HP 4WD R-version to replace the outgoing R32 — the new one will use a turbo-four instead of the heavy V6 — while VW itself is hinting at a GTI version of the 2009 VW Scirocco. Please VW, bring the Scirocco GTI stateside, we’ve been extra good this year.

Gov Auctions Review – Online Government Auctions Site

2009-10-24T22:14:00.000-07:00

Auctions is an auctions site, that lists any government auctions available in the United States. While they have plenty of features for their members, it´s not that different from other sites. Where it´s special is in the dedication of the team to update with the latest auctions available, from all states.

While some states have much more auctions then others, Gov-Auctions tries to list them all. The difference in the number of auctions, depends on the population of the state and the number of cars that are collected.

What Gov-Auctions claims is that it´s one of the sites that offer the most when it comes to the deals on government-seized properties and automobiles. If you visit their site you can see their As Seen on T.V. ad, but they don´t say on what channel it can be watched.

Gov-Auctions is not just a sales page though. Their site states their problem with car auction sites that are just scams in their published public statement. They attack those that give fake reviews for a lot of websites. This might be just an attempt to make the reader believe that they are for real, and not just a scam. Still, they are better when it comes to honesty then other similar sites.

They give you a view on their services and what you can get by using them. If you don´t read this page you might not fully understand what the site offers. Someone that visits Gov-Auctions for the first time might be a bit tricked by their methods. For example, they give you an online search with the latest cars sold through auctions, but they don´t specify that those aren´t cars sold on their site. So the users might think that those cars were sold by them.

If the people behind Gov-Auctions would be clearer about their offer, they would get a bigger score, but they make statements like you´ll have access to thousands of government pre-owned vehicles at very low prices, and thousands more showing up each week. The result is that people feel that they´ve been lied to.

Still, the money is well spent when you consider the members area. You get a list of all the states and each has auctions with the information you need to find the auction and how it can get involved and bid in it. Clicking on Ohio will give you a list of the auctions available there. For each auction you get the city, location, phone number, status and other bits of information that you need if you´re interested.

Additionally, Gov-Auctions lists a number of other auction sites, ordered by category. A member only needs to click on a link and he will visit another auction site, either private or owned by the government. Also, there are a number of Federal Auto Auctions listed, that can be viewed.

And as a bonus, the member gets a Car Auctions course, done for beginners and with plenty of details. It´s a valuable resource and also complete. But, while it might make members to avoid getting speeding tickets, it´s not really focused on property and on the cars.

How easy it is to use: very easy. After the new member pays the $35 price he gets immediately access to the member area. One the right side of the members area you can find an e-course that takes five days to complete and the ebook about how not to get speeding tickets. Other links that can be found there are those pointing to special auctions, like USPS, USDA or HUD. In the middle part of the site you can find the states, and with just a click you can see the auction site for each state.

Quality of content: Gov-Auctions comes with a simple layout and a zone where people can start looking for properties or cars. Where the site is different from others and probably better is in the fact that it´s got accurate listings and gives you the posibility to take part in multiple auctions at the same time. You can only benefit from what this site has to offer if you´re living in the US, as it´s not available for Canada or other countries. While it would be interesting to have a database with worldwide auctions, this is something hard to do by anyone.

The Good: all states are covered and there are links to many other sites that have a contract with the government to sell repossessed, surplus or seized properties and vehicles. Plus, the database contains the latest auctions.

The Bad: while they say that they are better than other similar sites that give the same opportunities and products, they´re not as different as they claim to be. And that´s because you can´t search directly from their database, then put a bid on it, and buy that property or car directly from their site. Instead, you have to do that on external sites.

The Conclusion: People can use Gov-Auctions to find other sites of quality, belonging to the government for the most part. You can think of this site as a console where people access and control their auction. And while it´s OK that they take those positions against review sites and auctions, they would be better placed on the homepage. They can also explain better to people how Gov-Auctions works and how it can help them find what they need. Once again, this site does the same things as the other sites, but they do it a bit better. They manage to keep their database updated and it´s a good resource to use.
