From the prestigious Daimler AG stable comes the F-Cell which is a hydrogen fuel cell based vehicle. These Mercedes-Benz A-Class cars which are fuel-cell-powered have been in the process of being tested all over Europe and the US. It's got all the class of a Merc, is absolutely silent while running and of course is totally environment-friendly with zero emissions as well. In the F cell, the whole cell fuel system is built into the floor of the car. The 65KW electric motor and the fuel cell technology ensure that the car can go up to speeds of 140 km/hour, not to mention an acceleration speed of 100 km/hour.

It all started with Ford who bought Norway's Think Nordic ASA but they lost interest in electric vehicles and sold off this company to a Swiss company and from there, it was bought over by Norwegian investors. The product of its new venture is expected to roll out next year. The Think City Electric car incorporates brand new technology. The new battery technology that is being used has resulted in a driving range that has vastly improved from the generation before. The Think City car is now operating on a Zebra battery that gives it a 110 km. range. Not only does the battery provide the Think City will an extended range, there are also other benefits that the Think City gets from the Zebra battery and they are: durability and charge density, not to mention zero emissions.

Hybrid technology is the new buzz in the motor world today and Toyota has granted patent rights to other manufacturers to make Hybrid cars. Toyota is one of the leading manufacturers of Hybrid cars and has shared its innovations with other manufacturers generously. Toyota has a couple of vehicles like the Lexus, the luxury marquee of the company, that run on the Hybrid system. The Lexus RX 400H was first displayed in the year 2004 in an International Auto Show in North America. The Lexus is the second SUV that has been under mass production. This Lexus luxury car was released in the year 2006. It took this car some time to make a place for itself in the market. This car makes less noise when compared to the Lexus RX400H, consumes less fuel and gives you more mileage to the gallon. This car is an SUV so does not give as good mileage when compared to the Prius.

This photo is, according to numerous people, definitely the 2009 Ram. It was taken from the official Mopar.com website. Air appears to be getting diverted into slots above and below the bumper, and that the area underneath the headlights appears to be tilted back to move the air along. In other words, this appears to actually be an aerodynamic front end. One commentator at allpar noted: Look again at that control arm peeking our in the rear its a totally new coil spring design, probably a 3 link, possibly a 5 link ... its been 8 years [since the basic vehicle was designed] ... a coil spring rear suspension almost sunk the new for 1967 Chevy and GMC half-ton pickups. It was not well recieved at all by pickup buyers. (Autoblog reported that it would be a 5-link with 4 trailing arms and a track bar).

As more and more people in the United States become interested in fuel economy-even if the prices we pay here are nothing compared with what Europeans pay at the pumps-the decision by Jeep to bring in a diesel version of its Liberty SUV is pretty smart thinking. SUVs are the most egregious gas guzzlers you can buy, so if you can still provide reasonable fuel economy and maintain SUV virtues such as a high seating position and all-around versatility, what's not to like? The Jeep's 2.8-liter, four-cylinder, DOHC, sixteen-valve, direct-injection, common-rail turbo-diesel clatters at idle and has that proverbial hum at freeway speeds (we love it). The diesel provides mighty torque and makes up for its modest power output.

In other news from the SEMA Show, Nissan showed off its most recent entry in the CORR series. The Titan, built by American Flyer Racing, has been in three races this year with limited success. But the truck has also had three different drivers, including road racing specialist and parttime NASCAR shoe Boris Said. Carl Renezeder is expected to be in the seat fulltime next year. The truck has a 715-horsepower engine built by Menards Engine Development. Next to the CORR Titan was a red production-style off-road-modified Titan that finished second in its class at last year's Baja 1000.

With the Ridgeline Honda is entering the lucrative US truck segment and the company describes the Ridgeline as a "next generation truck". The Ridgeline has an innovative new truck body construction and a steel reinforced composite bed to deliver true truck capabilities. The Ridgeline will most likely carry a price tag in the range of $27,000 to $32,000. Honda expects to sell 50,000 Ridgeline trucks during its first twelve months on the market.

The all-new 2006 Lincoln Mark LT pricing begins at $39,995 including many luxury features as standard. Limited options are designed to simplify the buying process. * Lincoln creates first Super Bowl ad in more than a decade. The 30- second spot will air during the first half of the game followed by a print advertising campaign. * Lincoln launches Mark LT with an integrated marketing campaign including a "Jet to Jacksonville" sweepstakes kicking off December 1. The ad will be seen as a 30-second spot during the first half of the game and will be supported by print buys in places such as the pre-and post- Super Bowl editions of USA Today and Sports Illustrated.

The company said it expected to sell about 50 of the trucks, and instead has already taken orders for about 200 since the first deliveries in September. It's now hoping to sell between 500 and 1,000 by the end of 2005. The CXT starts at $93,000 and can cost as much as $115,000 with all the creature comforts a driver would expect in a six-figure vehicle, even one built on a platform originally used for dump trucks and cement mixers.

General Motors is launching an all-new line of mid-size pickup trunks at the beginning of next year (2004). The upcoming 2004 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon replace the Chevy S-10 and GMC Sonoma compact pickups. Expect the price range to be between $15,000-$25,000. The scheduled release is January 2004, but we believe you just might see it a little sooner. But the Colorado and Canyon are much larger and are better equipped with amenities than the S-10 and Sonoma. One reason for the new formula: Sales of small trucks are sagging. Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon will go head-to-head with the Dodge Dakota. Chevrolet Colorado, on sale early next year as a 2004 model, is aimed at young single people, couples, and families who want a truck bigger and roomier than Chevrolet's current S-10 but not as big as a full-size pickup, like the Silverado.
