Britain’s bestselling car is here, and the look of car has changed dramatically. This new look which you can see has been based around the look of the Ka and Fiesta will be an ambitious evolution of the most popular car in Britain. Prices for the range are yet to be confirmed but the standard models are likely to cost from £15,000 which is good considering the changes and improvements Ford have made.

Ford will offer a range of engines from the new series of turbocharged EcoBoost systems. There will be a British built 1.6 litre petrol engine with between 148bhp and 178bhp as well as a 2.0 litre petrol providing 203bhp. There will also be a 2.0 litre TDCi diesel engine for the eco-friendly amongst us which is likely to offer between 134 and 160bhp. There will be a hatchback model and also the less popular saloon to choose from.

Mulsanne….. I am not too sure on the name I think it is a bit shiek is. But I suppose the only people that will be able to afford this Bentley will be a Shiek.

The rest of the figures are impressive though. This beast has a 6.75 litre engine that will get the Mulsanne from 0 to 60 in around about 5 seconds. Now this is impressive considering that this will be probably the good side of 3 tonnes weight.

I would love to see something that heavy pull away with that much grace. I would love to drive one as well so if Bentley are listening please allow it happen.

Top Gear has revealed that the latest Nissan Rival to the BMW 5 series is coming and It looks good.

Reports say that they are taking the engine out of the 370Z and placing it in this monster to give it a 3.7 litre v6 engine that will give out somewhere in the region of 316bhp and 265lb ft of torque. This will produce somewhere in the region of about a 0-60 in around s seconds which is really good for a heavy that.

I used to drive a old Nissan and even though I wanted to get rid of it due to it being to big for my girldfriend it was superb to drive and I loved the guts engine that it had.

I think this will be a really good contentor to take on the 5 series

Today there has been a sketch a new Lexus car released. The car at present is only being draw as a concept car but if it does become a concept car it will be showed at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The below image is a picture of the car that is eagerly awaited where it will be created or not.

I really hope that they put a lot of thought into building this car as I think it will be a winner.I hope they dont put the car too expensive either as I would never be able to afford one but still window shop one every time I was at a Toyota Garage

There have been new pictures realeased of the Chevrolet Camaro Trans Am which are shwon below.

I think that this is a superb looking car for me. I really like the fact that they have not gone a brand new style and shape but kept it the same as the old version but just a bit more fatter.

I would assume that this muscle car will have a huge 5.0 litre v8 that probably gives out about 450bhp. I would assume that the car will still be made out of steel so it takes about 7 seconds to do 0-60.

I do hope though that they look at reducing the weight and use lighter materials so that this beast can produce a 0-60 in a below 4 seconds target.

I alos recon that this will be a snip at about $25000 as they alwasy are. If this muscle car is cheap enough I think I will invest and get one brought across to this country as I love muscle cars, actually I am going to see how much it would cost to buy one that is already over here.

This is the first photo of the new Kia VG 2010

Isnt it marvelous. I think this is the best looking Suzuki I have ever seen.

Normally when I see a Suzuki I expect to a see a small jeep that will do 0 to 60 sometimes. But this is tremedous. It looks like this attempt at a sports salloon has paid off very nicely. There is not much to tell about the car yet but I am guessing it will have a throatey 2.4 litre petrol engine with a around 200 bhp.

I am not too sure on the price of this beast either but I would assume that it would be closer to £15,000 than £20,000 but i may be totally wrong.

But who cares look at the lines of this beast. It looks tremendous. I would easily put the money I am saving for my BMW into the new Suzuki VG.

I have noticed recently that the smaller car companies are making better looking cars than the likes of BMW and Mercedes.

Many people are trying to rent a car for some time, whether it’s a fancy event, a trip or just a business issue. Car hire companies have grown from small time dealers that were renting cars to a impressive industry that specializes in any makes and model you could possibly imagine.

Usually cars are grouped in categories which gather similar vehicles (often grouped by size, and engine capacity). We have few standard groups, like: A, which contains small cars like Toyota Aygo, or Ford Fiesta; B, which focuses on mid-size cars like Honda Civic, Ford Fiesta or Toyota Auris; C, represents a mid-upper class vehicles, eg.: Honda Accord, Ford Mondeo or Volvo S40. higher groups have higher standards but also cost more.

Car lenders are usually charging clients per day and apply a standard rate depending on a contract length. Sometimes when you want to hire a car for longer than few days lenders could give you a large discount depending on how many days you’ll choose to take. You can even use voucher codes if you have any at hand to lower the cost of the hire.

To start you would need a valid driving license that you held for at least a year (standard requirement), second ID document, eg. passport, an estimated deposit money and you could drive away in any desired car right away! But beware of what’s written in small on the contract, as very often companies are protecting their cars value by applying a mileage limits (you’ll be charge extra after breaching the limit stated in the contract). This is one of the very few downsides, as there is more good than bad about car hire service.

The feature that is the best for me is that I can drop the car in almost any point of the country without any additional charges. And this is how it should be everywhere!

In general you don’t usually think of GPS Vehicle Tracking Systems until you have the need for it, i.e. in the unfortunate event of your vehicle being stolen, currently vehicle manufactures usually only offer GPS vehicle tracking as an add-on to a standard package as a chargeable addition extra, however it comes highly recommended as the chances of recovering your vehicle increases considerably.

Additionally GPS vehicle tracking systems are commonly used on Hire Vehicles to track your whereabouts should you breakdown. Up on calling the breakdown company and giving your registration number the roadside assistance team can identify exactly where you are and get a repair vehicle out to you.

Vehicle tracking systems vary, generally for businesses with a fleet of vehicles you can view your fleet locations, speed and status throughout the day. This would then allow you to ensure your fleet is most productive, better respond to customer deadlines and cut fuel costs. They also allow you to plan routes, give customers better response times and keep them updated with times of delivery and pickups.

With some of the advanced GPS tracking systems you can use and manipulate the data to check the speed of the vehicles, the numbers of stops the driver has made and estimate fuel consumption allowing you to make informed managerial decisions.

You are in your garage and ask your wife to drive the car out of the garage. She accidentally puts the car into reverse instead of first gear and jams you up against the back wall, breaking your leg.

You are self employed and end up having to take 3 months off work recuperating.

Can you claim for injuries?

In short, yes! Accidents like this happen more often that you might think.

You are, in fact, entitled to claim against any person driving the car that caused your injuries or the accident, and this includes your wife as she was a named driver on your insurance policy.

As the accident was the fault of your wife, you are entitled to claim against her for the personal injury you have suffered. You need to remember however that as she is insured under your car insurance policy, indemnity will be paid by your insurer, and your no claims bonus at next renewal will be affected.

The fact that she was driving under your insurance policy is completely irrelevant.

However, as an alternative, if she also has her own insurance policy for another car which permits her to drive other vehicles under the Road Traffic Act, you also then have the option of claiming against her under that policy rather than under yours.

You may want to therefore explore that avenue as well to see which would have the least financial impact on insurance premiums at next renewal.

You have been involved in an accident and have been advised that it will be settled under a knock for knock agreement.

You are not happy about this as it infers that you were considered to be as much at fault as the other person and you consider yourself to be the completely innocent party on this occasion.

This is a scenario many people will have suffered under the hands of a Knock for Knock agreements, but what does it actually mean?

Well, don’t get too disappointed as the term Knock for Knock Agreement is actually an administrative term used by insurers.

To be succinct and lay it down in basic terms, what it actually means is that the two insurers have an agreement in place between themselves that they will each settle their own policyholder’s insurance claim.

Blame is not a contributory factor, it is simply an agreement between the two insurers which helps them save money by not arguing costs associated to the accident, negating any possible legal litigation.

Their correspondence and discussions will be restricted to the apportionment of blame.
That is not to say that they will still conclude that you were in fact partially at fault and your no claims bonus is to be affected as well as the other person’s but that is something that you will need to take up with them separately.

Just don’t think that if your insurer has elected to settle your claim on a Knock for Knock basis that you are immediately considered being partially at fault.
