MINI Countryman
MINI will by 2011 a small SUV on the market called Countryman, time for a little preview!. A while ago, at the Paris Motor Show in 2008 to be precise, we were already acquainted with the concept model of the Countryman, which then gets called Crossover Concept. The naming of the MINI SUV would indeed, in line with the Clubman, Countryman be.

Even though the Countryman particularly well on the other members of the MINI family, yet the skin completely different technique. So the Countryman on a new platform, which was made for a higher ride height and four-wheel drive. The basis of this platform is - how could it be otherwise - shared with the BMW X1. The engines were not the BMW family, but from cooperation with the PSA group result.

Mazda 5

Mazda 5
Mazda released the first pictures of the new Mazda 5 that comes with a facelift in 2008, and will make a real presentation of the car at the Bologna Motor Show that starts December 7th.

The new Mazda 5 has a few modifications worth mentioning and I will start with what we see on the outside. You can now choose power sliding doors and the dampers are changed a bit. The interior the mid panel with the dashboard functions was redesigned and include a DVD navigation system and a touch screen display.

Now that I got to the part that I enjoy the most, performance, you should know it's not just the looks that will change on the 2008 model. Mazda 5 is now powered by a MRZ 2.0-liter engine with electronic throttle and sequential valve timing, and features two types of transmission to choose from. One is a 6-speed manual and the other one is a 5-speed automatic.

Conan presented a $1.5 Million Bugatti Veyron mouse
Hell hath no fury like a talk show host scorned.

Conan O'Brien may have scored himself a $45 million package to walk away from NBC, but that didn't stop the pompadoured comedian from milking more money out of the peacock network.

During Wednesday night's episode of the "Tonight Show," O'Brien had no qualms ruffling some executive feathers when he introduced a new character to the short-lived show.

"For the rest of the week, we're going to introduce new comedy bits that aren't so much funny as they are crazy expensive," he said before revealing a $1.5 million Bugatti Veyron.

"There it is, the most expensive car in the world … dressed as a mouse," he boasted as the Rolling Stones' song "Satisfaction" played in the background.

The company said last week that it is recalling 2.3 million of the affected models, in which the gas pedal can stay depressed or return to quickly to idle - the latest in a string of quality problems that have bedeviled the Japanese automaker.

Toyota Recall List 2010 : January

Posted: 26 Jan 2010 08:31 PM PST


Toyota-Recall-List-2009-2010-Matrix
After announcing the largest auto recall in US history last fall to fix sudden acceleration problems, Toyota late Thursday announced an additional Toyota Recall List 2010 of some 2.3 million vehicles. The announcement was made after ABC News told the Japanese automaker that it was going to air a report about more Toyota sudden-acceleration problems.
The problem: The accelerator can stick when it's pushed down. "Our investigation indicates that there is a possibility that certain accelerator pedal mechanisms may, in rare instances, mechanically stick in a partially depressed position or return slowly to the idle position," Irv Miller, a group vice president for Toyota Motor Sales, said in a press release. (Click here for the full release.)
