Hyundai HCD 14 Genesis concept car

Hyundai HCD-14 Genesis concept car
 These are, after the now usual premature leakage, the official photos of the Hyundai HCD-14 Genesis, including all related information.

Hyundai calls the design language of the HCD-14 Genesis concept car precision fluidic design or liquid-metal design, including gem-like surfaces.

The animal must have a name; decide for yourself whether you can find in this design language.

Hyundai sees this study model, which is described as a four-door coupe, as an exercise for future designs of the Korean brand.

Suicide Doors
a striking feature of the car, except the short overhangs front and rear, the presence of suicide doors, or rear doors that are hinged to the rear, creating a B-pillar is missing.

The instruments are suitable for partly analog, digital, and partly according to Hyundai is its design derived from aviation. The center console accommodates an iPad to control various functions.

This keeps the number of buttons on the dashboard to a minimum. Apart from the iPad you can with your eyes (eye tracking) or movements (gesture recognition) commands transmit to the car.

Solar Powered Car is Coming


Solar Powered Cars
Solar powered cars have been in existence since the mid of the 19th century. They have been increasing in number year by year and organizations tend to hold solar powered car racing each year and thousands of people invest their money and bet on their solar powered cars. The mechanism of these cars is very simple. The batteries installed in these light bodied cars charge themselves from the solar energy. Then this energy is converted by them into electrical energy thus it helps the motor run.
Now this prospect is very simple or more likely it sounds very simple and trouble free. The sun shines everyday and there doesn’t seem to be any such problem with these cars. But the fact is that the amount of energy stored at a time by these cars enables them to drive at a very slow pace. The road has to be leveled and not steep because that requires even more energy. It will need more powerful batteries and more storage capacity.

New Car Review 2012 Mazda 6



Front 3/4 view of 2012 Mazda 6 being driven on country road
The 2012 Mazda 6.

There are great mysteries in automotive journalism, as in life itself. The one Ive been pondering lately is why you dont see more of the car pictured above on streets all over America.

The car is the 2012 Mazda 6, and as weve been telling everyone wholl listen for years, if youre shopping for a family sedan, this car absolutely needs to be on your test drive list.  Not only does it hold its own in every comparison with Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Nissan Altima, Ford Fusion and Chevy Malibu, its arguably a more satisfying car to drive.




Black interior of 2012 Mazda 6
The 2012 Mazda 6 interior.
That is actually just a "Mazda thing". They focus more on driver involvement...and, as weve mentioned in reviews of other Mazdas, they live up to their slogan "Always The Soul of a Sports Car".

The 2012 Mazda 6 we drove recently came from Chapman Mazda in Phoenix. And it came absolutely stock. No options. A base price of $21,240 gets you a 2.5 liter V6 with 170 horsepower and a 5-speed automatic transmission. 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes, dynamic stability control, air conditioning, tilt and telescoping steering wheel, an AM/FM/Sirius/CD/mp3 audio system with six speakers and an auilary jack, power windows and door locks.

Tack on $795 for delivery, processing and handling and the bottom line is $22,035. Very, very, very reasonable for any family sedan...and with this one, you get the added fun quotient.

Seriously. Drive one. Thank us later.

2012 Mazda 6

Base price: $21,240.

As tested: $22,035.

Likes: Solid, roomy and fun to drive.

Dislikes: None.

EPA estimates: 22 city/31 highway.

New Car Review 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek




Desert Khaki 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek parked in a suburban driveway
The 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek.

I have only one complaint about the 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek.

The one they sent me was painted the same shade as Walter Whites Pontiac Aztek.




I really figured that color was something the studio made up to telegraph just how dull and drab ol Walts life was before he, you know, started cooking meth and killing people.

But, no. Subaru will sell you an XV Crosstrek in pretty much that same color. They call it "Desert Khaki". There are 7 other colors and youre free to make your own choice. I wouldnt pick "Desert Khaki", but if I were in the market, a Subaru XV Crosstrek would definitely be on my list.

As weve noted before, Subaru excels at the basics. Solid, reliable vehicles endowed with full-time four-wheel drive for not much money.

The XV we tested was the Premium model, which in this case, is the base model (the Limited is the step up). It starts at $21,995 with a 5-speed manual. Switch to a Continuously Variable Transmission like our tester and it jumps by a grand to $22.995.

For that, you get a nifty little crossover that has a raised suspension, 8.7 inches of ground clearance, 17-inch alloy wheels, larger fuel tank and brakes (compared to the Impreza wagon on which its based), and...with the CVT, one that gets an estimated 25 miles per gallon city, 33 highway (which our week of mixed driving suggests is entirely realistic).


2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek interior
The 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek interior.
Subaru keeps the interior choices simple. Youre looking at it...black cloth. Comfortable and easy to clean. Probably long-wearing too. Included in the standard features, dark tint privacy glass, heated front seats, heated exterior mirrors and a windshield wiper de-icer.

While were on winter stuff, theres been a remarkable cold snap at TireKicker World Headquarters in Arizona....and the Subarus heater was a godsend. 2 minutes tops and hot air was ours (this is not a given...two Lexuses weve had recently have needed 10 minutes before any discernable heat was generated).

You also get two 12 volt power outlets, an outside temperature gauge with road surface freeze indicator, and an audio system with Bluetooth, iPod control capability, USB and auxilary jacks and six speakers. The only other niggle: Whoever wrote the warning that appears on-screen when Bluetooth and your cell phone fail to connect doesnt speak English as a first language. I meant to write it down or snap a picture of it and neglected to. But youll get the idea, and it will remind you where Subaru comes from.

The only option on the tester was the Moonroof and Navigation package for $2,000...so with$795 for destination and delivery charges, the bottom line wound up $25,790. Thats not a bad price at all. Skip the Moonroof and Nav and youre at $23,790....for a spacious yet small crossover SUV with both bad weather and light off-road capabilities that gets 33 miles per gallon on the highway. In our book, that pegs the value meter.

Repair Cardan in a car UAZ

To repair the shaft, remove it from the vehicle. Unscrew the clip seal splined connection, straighten her first in places where it was produced kernenie, and move in the direction of the pipe seal. With the help of an indicator, measure the radial clearance slot "cardan" two planes (perpendicular) at 7-8 cm from the end of the fork slots and fix its value. Permissible shaft runout after the edits must be a maximum of 0.6 mm at any place along its entire length. Crossings should be changed if: Bore than 1.6 cm on the cylinders are visible longitudinal indentations; heavily worn neck crosses at the installation site seal. If damage or wear of the working edges, seals, replace the end seals. The same applies to the needle bearings, if deformed or lost one of the needles, or they swing on the cylinders. Replace the developed parts of the compound (spline) "cardan" when the radial clearance in the slots becomes more 0,13-0,15 see Worn plugs should be replaced if the hole for the bearing has a diameter over 3 cm, or between planes ears fork length exceeds 6 If you see damage or wear rubber or felt ring, replace them. Change the shaft in case of breakage or wear of its individual parts. Without balancing driveshaft may be replaced with a cross in the set, only if there is no vibration. Propeller shaft assembly. At the end of the slotted "cardan" install everything in reverse order of removal. Before you collect the splined connection, felt ring lubrication necessarily saturate and do not forget to lubricate the splines. Collect splined connection needed so that the forks "cardan" were in a common plane with the deviation within 5 degrees. To do this, combine the labels (arrows) established before disassembly. Further, failure to screw the clip into two locations (opposite) and zakernite so that the perimeter of the cage a few curved to the side grooves moving fork.

In the cup grooves check snap rings. Cardan joint the other end of the shaft is going the same way. Before assembly, lubricate the hinges with grease. Just fill each bearing grease on half of its volume. Gathering "cardan", check whether it is easy to move the fork pivot. There should be no jamming, forks should move freely by hand. Angular displacement for each joint should not exceed the value of 0,3 mm (recommended value of 0.023 cm) of torque at 10-12 kg / m at a radius of 35 millimeters.

New Car Review 2011 Kia Optima Hybrid



Front 3/4 view of white 2011 Kia Optima Hybrid
The 2011 Kia Optima Hybrid.

As impressed as we were with the 2011 Kia Optima just a month ago, nothing could have prepared us for the Kia Optima Hybrid.

Heres the recipe: Take everything that makes the Optima a winner, and add a hybrid powerplant. But make it a hybrid powerplant that delivers the mileage. 24 mpg city/34 highway in the gasoline Optima becomes 35 city/40 highway in the Optima Hybrid...good enough to vault into 7th place on TireKickers Top 10 Fuel Savers, ahead of smaller, lesser-performing cars like the Honda CR-Z and Lexus HS 250h.





Rear 3/4 view of white 2011 Kia Optima Hybrid
The 2011 Kia Optima Hybrid rear view.

Best part of it all? The price spread between gasoline and hybrid is small as such things go...$4,005.  Now, admittedly, thats the difference between $22,495 and $26,500. But if your priorities include using less gasoline and putting fewer pollutants into the air, there are higher prices to pay.

Much like the gasoline version from a month ago, this Optima Hybrid was loaded. You might remember the $22,495 wound up being $27,440. Well, in this case, a single option, the $5,000 Premium Technology Package (Nav system with backup camera, Sirius Traffic, an Infinity audio system, panoramic sunroof, auto-dimming rearview mirror with Homelink and compass, upgraded 17-inch tires with alloy wheels, auto-leveling HID headlamps, leather seat trim, drivers seat memory, heated and cooled front seats, heated outboard rear seats, a heated steering wheel and power front passengers seat) ran the price with $750 freight and handling to $32,250.

Yeah, thats a pricey Kia. But again, its less than five grand above the loaded gasoline version.


The 2011 Kia Optima Hybrid gauge cluster.

So...the big question: Hows the mileage? Well, we did 225 miles of purely city street driving over the course of a week, and got 31.0 miles per gallon. Yes, the EPA estimate is 35 city, but the small print under that number says "expected range for most drivers 29 to 41 mpg". So were in the ballpark. As always, your mileage may vary. Id bet on having hit 35 had we done our usual amount of freeway driving...and on a roadtrip, 40s probably realistic.

Bottom line: Kias on a roll, and the Optima is a contender not just among family sedans, but among alternative-energy vehicles as well.


2011 Kia Optima Hybrid

Base price: $26,500

As tested: $32,250

Likes: Styling, smooth power, impressive mileage for its size.

Dislikes: Overly sensitive tire pressure monitoring system.

EPA estimates: 35 mpg city/40 mpg highway.

Rastonirovanie car windows with his hands

Given the tightening of requirements for toning cars, as well as increased interest in his services, road patrol, many motorists are removed dubbing the film from the glass. There are two ways rastonirovaniya car windows - in person or at a service station. Of course, inside the wizard, do rastonirovanie car windows very quickly, freeing you from all trouble, but their services will cost you just do not come cheap, yet this work is well under the force of every motorist. Some motorists believe that the exercise rastonirovanie car windows with his hands quite that easy, you just have to catch a film with a knife, and it has no problems "spoiled" by the glass. However, dubbing the film attaches to the glass with very strong adhesive, which greatly complicates the process rastonirovaniya glasses. But if you are enthusiastic and willing to perform the procedure on rastonirovaniyu car windows with his hands, then this article is for you. For that, you should stock up on: - a ruler or credit card payment (must be something fairly thin plastic products). - A clean cloth towel or newspaper. - Detergent or rubbing alcohol and warm water. All this is necessary in order to wash off the glue. Give clear guidance on the application of certain means are very difficult, because in each case may be nuances. If the tint did not very long ago, no more than three years ago, the removal of the film is simple enough warm water, and if earlier - in this case have to try and try different cleaners. That's all you need for this simple process. Nothing extraordinary, all you need is in each sector. If dubbing the film stuck very long time, then rastonirovaniya glasses require building a hairdryer, a typical home is not suitable, since its power is quite small. Before you remove the dubbing a film, be sure to thoroughly warm up the glass. To heat the film is recommended to use a hairdryer construction, have a greater capacity and ability to quickly heat the film. When heated to monitor air temperature, so that it did not reach 40 degrees, otherwise you risk melt dubbing the film, which greatly complicate its removal. Carefully heat a small portion of the film, but do not remove immediately. Aim the dryer only to the film, otherwise under the influence of hot air to glass or plastic and rubber parts will crack. If you properly remove the film, the glue will remain on dubbing the film, the glass also will be clean. To remove adhesive residue, use detergents for cleaning glasses. Many motorists use rubbing alcohol or clean with warm soapy water. Full clean glasses on the adhesive easier to navigate after the removal of glass from the car, also working with the filmed glass, you eliminate the likelihood of damage to the exterior and interior car. Although it is not necessary to dismantle the glass, if you act very carefully. It has long been known that much easier to remove the high-quality dubbing the film, as if to catch her and pull, it will come down one piece. Rastonirovanie glasses coated with cheap dubbing the film is more complex, because this film is easily torn, separated by parts, and requires more energy from your side.

New Car Review 2011 Chrysler 300




Front 3/4 view of black 2011 Chrysler 300 driving on mountain road
The 2011 Chrysler 300.

This is the second 2011 Chrysler 300 the press fleet folks have sent our way in the past few months. I wrote about the first one for High Gear Medias Carnewser.com a couple of weeks back.  That first car came option-free...sporting a price tag $7590 less than the 2011 Dodge Charger reviewed here on TireKicker in late September.

The Carnewser.com piece focused on my trying (and failing) to understand why Chrysler, working to set itself apart as an upscale brand would build and sell such reasonably priced examples of their flagship, the 300.

Since then, though, word has come that Chryslers dropping the ax on the Dodge Grand Caravan. Come 2013, theyll only be selling the Chrysler Town and Country, setting off speculation that once Fiats, Alfa Romeos and Lancia-sourced Chryslers begin appearing in showrooms, the product mix between those brands, Dodge and Jeep may be very different from what we see now.

So lets assume a plan is in the works and assess the 300 on its own merits, absent percieved price crowding with its cousin, the Dodge Charger.








The 2011 Chrysler 300 rear view.

First of all, even in base form. the 2011 Chrysler 300 is drop-dead gorgeous. Its a completely different design from the last generation, relying on subtle cues to tie the two together. The details are superb and the effect sets the 300 apart as the only big American sedan of its kind.

The new Chrysler Pentastar V6 is a revelation...strong, smooth and economical. Even with a five-speed automatic (an 8-speed is on tap for 2012), the EPA says 18 city, 27 highway, and we saw a rock-steady 20 miles per gallon in a week of nothing but city streets.





The 2011 Chrysler 300 interior.


Like example number one, this 300 was the base model, with a base price of $27,170. Unlike the first car, this one had options...but just two. $295 for Deep Cherry Red Crystal Pearl Coat exterior paint, and another $295 for Customer Preferred Package 27E...Chryslers Uconnect voice command with Bluetooth.

Fold that in with the standard equipment (4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes, stability and traction control, brake assist, hill start assist, all the airbags a car can hold, power locks, keyless entry and pushbutton start, 8-way power drivers seat, tilt and telescoping steering wheel, an AM/FM/Sirius/CD/mp3 audio system with 6 speakers and USB and auxilary connections, and dual-zone climate control and while you dont have the pinnacle in luxury, you do have a remarkably equipped, very quiet, comfortable and reasonably quick big sedan for $28,585 with destination charges.

Ive decided to stop worrying about why Chrysler offers this car for so little money. There are people who will be very glad they do.


2011 Chrysler 300

Base price: $27,170.

As tested: $28,585.

Likes: Room, quiet, fuel economy for its class.

Dislikes: Pairing and connecting phones with the Bluetooth system is a lengthy, hit-and-miss proposition.

EPA estimate: 18 mpg city/27 mpg highway.

New Car Review 2012 Acura TL



Front 3/4 view of 2012 Acura TL on road
The 2012 Acura TL front view.

I am not a fan of plastic surgery. Too many botched jobs out there reminding us every day that the nose wasnt really that big or other bits werent really that small. In the case of the 2012 Acura TL, however, Im prepared to say that sometimes a nose job is really what the patient needed.

In case you dont remember the 2009, 2010 and 2011 TL, heres the "before" picture:



The 2009-2011 Acura TL front view.



If you think its not so wonderful in pictures, trust me...thats a flattering angle. A change was needed...and now, we have one. The TL is, as it was before 2009, a conventionally handsome sport sedan.



The good news is that overall, the package as a whole has had a chance to jell, too. While not the canyon-carver that the TL with SH-AWD (Super Handling All Wheel Drive) is, the TL holds its own quite nicely. Up front is a 3.5 liter V6 that makes 280 horsepower and its hooked up to a six-speed automatic transmission with Sequential SportShift. Theres also four wheel disc brakes, front double-wishbone suspension, a rear multi-link suspension, electric power-assisted rack and pinion steering, and a high-flow sport-tuned exhaust system.

Our tester was the Advance model...a package that includes a blind spot information system, ventilated front seats, 18-inch alloy wheels and all-season tires, as well as the Tech Package (navigation, backup camera, AcuraLink communication system with real-time traffic and weather, leather sport seats, push-button ignition, GPS-linked, dual-zone automatic climate control and keyless access with a security system...plus an AM/FM/CD/DVD-Audio/SiriusXM/Hard Disk Drive Dolby Pro Logic II ELS Surround Sound audio system, along with an auxilary jack and USB connection for your personal music player (as astonishing as the demo disc of the DVD Audio system sounds, its a very nearly dead format, overtaken by the comparatively low-fi iPod).) in the base price of $41,535.


The 2012 Acura TL rear view.

Yes, I said GPS-linked climate control. No, Im not kidding. Heres Acuras explanation:

The GPS-linked automatic climate control system further enhances occupants comfort level by tracking the suns position and intensity. The GPS positioning technology monitors the suns location relative to the cars position while a sensor on the dash measures the suns intensity. By knowing which part of the cabin is receiving the suns rays, the system compensates to keep each side of the cabin at its designated temperature. The system is completely automatic and requires no manual adjustments, regardless of outside conditions.

Wow.

Base price is also bottom line in the case of our tester. Zero options, just the standard $885 destination and handling charge, which made the final tally $42,420. For that, in addition to what weve already mentioned, you get the full complement of airbags, Vehicle Stability Assist, anti-lock brakes, electronic brake distribution, active head restraints, tire pressure monitoring, a power moonroof, LED taillights and fog lamps.


The 2012 Acura TL interior.
Inside? Well, like most Honda products of the past few years, its a gadget and button fest. But as other manufacturers have chased that particular rabbit, weve had a lot of opportunities to get used to it.

Other no-cost goodies: Driver recognition memory system, power seats (10-way for the driver, 8-way for the front passenger, both heated), HomeLink, Bluetooth, steering wheel-mounted controls for audio, phone, cruise and trip computer).

While 280 horsepower isnt epic power for a sport sedan in 2012, it is more than adequate to move the TL with some authority. And theres a bonus...better than typical gas mileage for its class. The EPA says 20 city/29 highway.

Overall, the TL is an attractive package. And more so than last year. Especially from the front.

2012 Acura TL

Base price: $41,535.

As tested: $42,420.

Likes: Balance, handling, a superb (if technically outmoded) audio system, new front styling.

Dislikes: If Honda can clean up the nose of the TL, they have to be able to get the button count in the cockpit down to three dozen or so.

EPA estimates: 20 city/29 highway.

Future Car Without A Driver Control Of Navigation Sensors

Cars without a drivers record of successfully ending the trial along 15 thousand kilometers from Italy to the city of Shanghai, China. Cars that are controlled by using a sensor that, departing from his native city of Parma in Italy on July 28 and traveled through Eastern Europe, Russia, Kazakhstan and China last. Now the car without the driver was on display at pavillun EU in Shanghai Expo 2010 and attracted thousands of visitors.

Piaggio electric van has traveled nine thousand miles from Parma, Italy to Shanghai on Tuesday. What makes it special, the driver does not need to control the wheel.


Alberto Broggi, automotive expert from the University of Parma, which is also the project leaders car without a driver welcomed the success of the test. Although to park the vehicle was still done by manual means requiring a technician to parked. During the trial in the Russian car must also strive to deal with the situation in the city of Moscow jam.
