Ford enhanced Safety of Escape SUV for 2010 model

Outdoing Honda and Toyota in the car world is not an easy task, but Ford has done it with the Escape SUV, taking the top spot when it comes to safety and fuel economy. For the year 2010, Ford is making its steps to help maintain and widen that lead by enhancing the Escape SUV with five new safety elements.

First is the McKey (on Limited models and XLT) which permits the owners of the Escape to set or program the unit of the car’s top speed and likewise, the audio volume. Aside from that, it can also be set to turn on warning sounds when theFord Escape car is revving up at 45 mph, 55 mph or at 65 mph and will flash with seatbelt prompts and to give off warnings for low-fuel ahead of time.

Second is the Active Park Assist, to make parking trouble free for teens and adults. It can actually locate a spot for parking, drives and parks the driver into that spot. All the driver has to mind is the gas pedal and the brake.

The SUV is also enhanced with the Integrated Spotter Mirrors and Rear View Camera System that will make the driver have the total visibility around his car and will allow maximum driving security. Lastly is the SYNC which will make the driver in touch with traffic situations, and some problems that can be detected in advance.

Tesla’s Model S earlier than its official debut

Earlier its official global debut on March 26, Tesla had come up for a little teaser of its forthcoming sedan, Model S, to kindle all car aficionados’s appetite for environment-friendly vehicles.

The design of the Tesla Roadster Model S is under the creative mind of the previous Mazda designer, Franz von Holzhausen. The green car is sophisticatedly conceived with a rounded front appearance, an attached Tesla emblem on the fender plate at the front and an obviously shorter hood.

Model S is very much different from Fisker Karma, another environment-friendly vehicle from Fisker Automotive, because the new Tesla will be engined alone with battery propulsion system and can stand without the engine capable of extending its range. These features help put up shorter hood.

Many are hooked with this four-door, 5-passenger Model S after Tesla’s sensational release of the Tesla Roadster. The Model S has similar specs with the Roadster where the range is almost the same within 240 miles per change.

Robert “Maximum Bob” Lutz: How he changed General Motors

In the year 2001, CEO Rick Wagoner of General Motors was in desperate need to fix the car company’s sagging performance in the car industry. During that time, they had closed plants and cut jobs to be able to improve General Motors’ financial status by decreasing the costs. But of course, Wagoner believed that this strategy is no way an effective measure to help the company survive. He knew that General Motors needed a powerhouse to boost product development.

Maximum Bob Chrysler

Wagoner decided to talk with Robert “Bob”: Lutz, who in that time has just retired from Chrysler from the position of Vice Chairman in 1999, for some recommendations. He doesn’t know Lutz personally at that time, but he knew Lutz’s reputation as a product czar who put Chrysler’s domain in the auto industry into the pedestal. The talk which is at first to seek recommendations turned out to be having Robert Lutz as General Motors’ vice chairman for product development.
