NADAguides (www.NADAguides.com) is one of the leading sources of information on vehicles on the World Wide Web. And just recently, this source of vehicle information has released and announced the favorite summer vehicles as per the likes and favorites of their editors.
‘Fun in the Sun Vehicles?is the name given to such a list. And for this year, 2006, the editors of NADAguides have chosen vehicles that they claim would surely bring about thrills. The editors hand-picked the vehicles themselves and they picked the best vehicles in seven categories that were separate from each other. With the wide range of vehicle choices at present, the editors surely had a grand, yet hard, time looking for the best for each category. Just imagine how it would be like choosing the best Infiniti car parts for your vehicle.
The favorite ‘Fun in the Sun?new car for this year is the 2006 Pontiac Solstice GXP convertible. The lead auto expert at NADAguides, Mark Perleberg, even commends the vehicle by saying, “This year it’s all about having fun and the 2006 Pontiac Solstice GXP is definitely an enjoyable ride.?
Going to the sport utility vehicle, or SUV, segment, the editors had chosen the 2006 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. It was even a unanimous favorite among all the editors. With this vehicle’s abilities to tread on on-road and off-road, surely, it is not much of a surprise that it was picked.
As per the highline exotic ‘Fun in the Sun?vehicles, the 2005 Porsche Carrera GT received the spot. Even Don Christy, Jr., who is the president and the CEO of NADAguides, found this vehicle to be a dream. He even states, “The 2005 Porsche Carrera GT is a thrill-seeker’s dream.?
The mentioned three vehicles are just about half of the whole list. The 1965 Lincoln Continental convertible took the spot for the ‘Fun in the Sun?collectible car. For the motorcycle segment, the 2006 Suzuki M109 was pronounced as the group’s favorite. For the favorite recreation vehicle, the 2006 Fleetwood Gearbox S4 300 FS was picked. And the Party Cruiser 32-I/O in the Sun Tracker series was chosen as the

The Car Care Council is dedicating an entire month to reminding drivers of the importance of being “car care aware.” National Car Care Month, a nationwide effort to focus motorists’ attention on the essentials of vehicle care and maintenance, will take place in April.
National Car Care Month Set For April
The Car Care Council is dedicating an entire month to reminding drivers of the importance of being “car care aware.” National Car Care Month, a nationwide effort to focus motorists’ attention on the essentials of vehicle care and maintenance, will take place in April.
During National Car Care Month, many repair facilities and auto parts stores join local businesses, civic groups, radio stations and others to sponsor free vehicle checkups. The events are held in parking lots at shopping malls, schools, businesses and other highly visible locations.
“The industry has embraced April as an ideal time of year to conduct National Car Care Month activities,” said Rich White, executive director of the Car Care Council. “In April 2005, we plan on conducting more comprehensive vehicle checkup events and promotions that will provide consumers with more information about preventive vehicle maintenance.”
Nationwide results from last year’s checkups underscore the continuing need for vehicle maintenance education. The results showed that 87 percent of all vehicles needed repair or maintenance; 34 percent had low or dirty engine oil; 27 percent had inadequate cooling protection; 25 percent needed new belts; 24 percent had dirty air filters; and 26 percent had low or contaminated brake fluid.
The Car Care Council is the source of information for the “Be Car Care Aware” campaign, educating consumers about the benefits of regular vehicle care, maintenance and repair.

Where would fuel be contained and stocked if not for the fuel tank? Mazda manufacturers had certainly kept in mind to design, create and produce quality, reliable, and durable Mazda fuel tanks, specially crafted for a Mazda.
auto parts,Mazda parts,Mazda fuel tank
Fuel tanks could be considered the container of the lifeblood of your Mazda. And that is for the very reason that Mazda fuel tanks act as the reservoir of your fuel. Without fuel, your vehicle surely would not have the capacity to go miles, and that goes the same for the fuel tank. Where would fuel be contained and stocked if not for the fuel tank? Mazda manufacturers had certainly kept in mind to design, create and produce quality, reliable, and durable Mazda fuel tanks, specially crafted for a Mazda.
A Mazda fuel tank is located in the rear of the chassis under the trunk compartment. As you operate the vehicle and press on the accelerator, the fuel in the tank revs up the engine and produces the power to run the automobile. This fuel is then directed to a complex fuel system. So, basically, the Mazda fuel tank is the storage of the fuel until vehicle needs it for operation. It also contains a drain plug found at the bottom so as for the purpose of cleaning and draining whenever necessary.
As part of the fuel system, the Mazda fuel tank is most often than not found at the rear of the chassis under the vehicle’s trunk compartment, although some vehicles possess a rear engine with the tank in the front portion of the compartment. This part of your Mazda has an inlet pipe and also an outlet pipe. The outlet pipe has a fitting for fuel line connection and could be located in the top or in the side of the tank. The lower end is about a half-inch above the bottom of the tank so as to serve the purpose of preventing any collected sediments from flushing out into the carburetor.
One fact in automobile history is that earlier vehicles had fuel tanks placed higher than the engine, thus causing a problem when the car went uphill. The gas flowed away from the engine, and you had to maneuver the vehicle backwards if you are driving up a hill.
An important factor for these Mazda fuel tanks is that it should have the proper design and construction because this certainly has the safety of the system in its grasp. Improper placement of the fuel tank has proven to lead increased probability of fire in collisions. Several automobile companies have already faced over a hundred lawsuits related to fires caused by the improper installation and location of these fuel tanks.
These Mazda fuel tanks are made of metal which are highly susceptible to deterioration, damage, and corrosion from the elements in the fuel. They are prone to rust, corrosion, and wear-and-tear as it ages. Any of these could actually damage your vehicle and affect the performance of your Mazda.
If you are in need of a replacement for your Mazda fuel tank, Mazda Parts and Mazda Auto Parts hold a wide array for you to choose from. You can choose whatever Mazda fuel tank is compatible with your vehicle. Each of these Mazda fuel tanks have been produced and known for their quality and durability, which is just what your Mazda needs to ensure continued excellent performance.

Mercedes’ compact B-Class will soon appear on American streets followed by the Dodge Hornet, a vehicle that will be inspired and derived from the B-Class.
Mercedes, Dodge, auto parts, car parts, B-Class, Dodge Hornet, Dodge Caliber, Mercedes-Benz, Mopar
The Mercedes B-Class, a line of compact cars about the size of a Volkswagen Golf, is expected to be imported to the U.S. market within one or two years time. This model is unusual in that it will be the first vehicle marketed by Mercedes in the U.S. that is not a true luxury car. Instead, the German automaker is hoping to capitalize on its venerable name by serving a greater share of the American populace by marketing a more ordinary model. Soon after the B-Class?debut, yet another small vehicle derived from Mercedes will also make its appearance in the U.S.: the Dodge Hornet. Both the B-Class and Hornet are being developed to revolutionize their respective brands, pitting DaimlerChrysler against some of the leading youth brands in the world.
Not everyone thinks that it is a good idea for Mercedes to sell a budget model in the U.S., particularly one sporting the Mercedes marque. Yet, Mercedes has been building smaller models for years and in Europe the brand is known for producing luxury cars as well as vehicles for the masses. Indeed, Mercedes?biggest adversary, BMW, also produces a line of small cars and is planning on bringing these vehicles to the U.S. shortly. Thus, like it or not, Mercedes must respond and the B-Class will be the answer.
For Mercedes, the B-Class likely to make it to the U.S. will be a four door sedan outfitted with a six cylinder gas engine. A hatchback, popular in Europe, will probably not be included in the deal knowing American consumers?disdain for that particular body style. Diesel powered B-Class?are a possibility and will become even more likely should BMW introduce the same.
For Dodge, the Hornet represents an answer to Scion and their line of youth oriented brands. While the Mercedes B-Class will likely appeal to VW and Nissan owners, the Hornet will target Scion owners as well as those inclined to purchase a Honda Element or other small, boxy vehicle. DaimlerChrysler, the owner of both Mercedes and Dodge, knows that the Hornet is necessary as the brand’s current entry level vehicle, the Caliber, is too expensive to compete against the lowest priced cars from Japan and Korea. Considering that Chinese cars selling for $8500 or less will also be arriving soon, DaimlerChrysler must respond and respond quickly with the Hornet.
While plans haven’t yet been finalized, the Hornet will likely strongly resemble the concept vehicle now on display at car shows around the country. This means that the Hornet will sport a 1.6L I4 mated to a 5 or 6 speed manual transmission, with a horsepower output of 170. With 19 inch tires, stow and go seating, and Saturn ION-like doors, the Hornet will not be confused with any other vehicle on the road which is exactly what Dodge hopes will happen.
To keep production costs down, DaimlerChrysler is looking for a manufacturing plant, probably in Mexico, to build the vehicle. Aiming to keep prices to around $10,000, DaimlerChrysler may tap Volkswagen to produce the vehicle at one of its own plants. This would enable VW to fill excess capacity and give DCX a readily available source to produce the Hornet.
Yes, the B-Class is poised to change the way American consumers think about the Mercedes brand while giving the make a chance to capture a broader chunk of the market. With the Hornet deriving its platform and other key components from the B-Class, Dodge will also benefit and be able to holds its own against Asian imports. Yes, both products present risky moves for parent DaimlerChrysler, one that the automaker must take in an ever changing and highly competitive world.

Nissan is seeking to break the Honda-Toyota juggernaut with the introduction of three exciting models over the next two years with a fourth model also likely to see the light of day.
discount Nissan parts, Nissan Sentra, Nissan hybrid, Nissan Altima, Nissan Cube, Nissan Versa, cars
Nissan Motors continues to make important strides in becoming one of the highest quality automakers on the scene in North America today. Long living in the shadow of Japanese stalwarts Honda and Toyota, Nissan is fighting back with a series of new or updated models to cut into the Honda-Toyota dominance. Can they succeed? You be the judge as we take a look at four coming attractions soon to make their appearance at a Nissan dealer near you!
Nissan Versa ?Toyota’s Scion division has been a hit with the youth, while Nissan has been scrambling to provide models that can capture the interest of new drivers while being at the same time affordable. Scheduled for release by Summer 2006, the Versa will come with a 1.8L inline four cylinder engine and be available as either a five door hatchback or a four door sedan. The car will be manufactured in Mexico with a starting price in the neighborhood of 12 thousand dollars expected.
Nissan Cube ?Still in the “maybe it will be imported?stage, the new Cube is Nissan’s response to the Scion xB and the Honda Element. Seating five to seven adults, the Cube is exactly that: a box on wheels. Published reports suggest that the Cube will be released to the North American market by 2008.
Nissan Sentra ?A new Sentra is expected to bow during the second half of 2006 as a 2007 model. Significant styling changes and an up market push are planned by Nissan to help the car compete more effectively with the VW Golf and Mazda 3.
Nissan Altima ?The big change coming for the Altima is the introduction of a hybrid engine. Scheduled to hit Nissan showrooms by Fall 2006, this new Altima model will actually borrow Toyota technology to create Nissan’s first hybrid. The engine and the battery will be all Nissan, however; Nissan apparently needs an assist from its Japanese rival to enter the growing hybrid segment.
Beyond 2008 consumers can expect to see an updated Quest van makes its appearance with subtle changes on the remaining vehicles in Nissan’s line up. Additional models are in the concept stage; expect some to be shown at upcoming auto shows.
Although it is too early to confirm each of the four featured models, Nissan’s thrust in the coming years is to increase its share of the Generation “Y?market. Should the Cube and Versa make their appearance as hoped for, Nissan is likely to score some points with young drivers in two areas: style and price. Look out Honda and look out Toyota!

After the Mazda 616 and the Mazda 618 and also before the Mazda Mazda6 came the Mazda 626. The former mentioned vehicles, the Mazda 616 and the Mazda 618, were the predecessors of the Mazda 626. The Mazda Motor Corporation targeted the Mazda 626 to be designed and marketed as a car that could be utilized by families. Also, they made the vehicle as a commodity that could be exported to other areas and regions.

After the Mazda 616 and the Mazda 618 and also before the Mazda Mazda6 came the Mazda 626. The former mentioned vehicles, the Mazda 616 and the Mazda 618, were the predecessors of the Mazda 626. Of course, this vehicle is the product of the Mazda Motor Company’s hard work and efforts. They have been able to build the Mazda 626 as a compact and midsize car. Its competition in the automobile market includes the Toyota Camry, the Honda Accord, the Nissan Stanza, and the Hyundai Sonata.
The Mazda Motor Corporation targeted the Mazda 626 to be designed and marketed as a car that could be utilized by families. Also, they made the vehicle as a commodity that could be exported to other areas and regions. It was actually based on the Mazda Capella which was a vehicle that the company only sold in Japan. In 1979, the Mazda 626 replaced the spot that was the Mazda 616’s, Mazda 618’s, and the Mazda RX 2’s. Up until 2002, the Mazda 626 was in production. However, soon enough, the Mazda Mazda6 took over the family car market and the Mazda 626’s production was completely halted.
If you travel to other parts of the globe, you would see that the Mazda 626 was sold under various names. In Asia, in Australasia, and in Southern Africa, this family car was known and marketed as the Ford Telstar. However, it only lived for a short while since the Ford Mondeo, which was sourced from Europe, came into these markets and took over the Ford Telstar.
This vehicle is actually known one of the very first Japanese brand cars that were built in the United States. However, it was certified as a domestic car by the United States government after ten long years. In last years of the Mazda 626, it was built and restyled to have exterior upgrades and interior upgrades. These upgrades gave the Mazda 626 a sportier look and it also provided the vehicle a better performance and handling.

Every once in a while, an invention comes along that gains so much popular attention that it may seem like it has been around forever. While the basic idea for the hybrid car has been around since 1917, the hybrids that we talk about on the market today have only really been around since the Honda Insight and the Toyota Prius made their debuts in the 1990s.

Every once in a while, an invention comes along that gains so much popular attention that it may seem like it has been around forever. While the basic idea for the hybrid car has been around since 1917, the hybrids that we talk about on the market today have only really been around since the Honda Insight and the Toyota Prius made their debuts in the 1990s. Since that time, other dealers have become involved in the hybrid trade, in part thanks to government initiatives such as the Clinton administration’s agreement with Chrysler, Ford, and General Motors (Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles). What the growth in both popularity and diversity means is that several issues that have come up in the evolution of the hybrid car are being dealt with in the age old capitalist way of competition.
Hybrid cars have always lived up to their touted ability to save gas, but unless your soul is painted green this was not necessarily of any benefit to the average consumers. Most hybrid cars end up costing more than their standard engine counterparts over the long term, largely due to their initial cost. In addition, hybrid parts can be hard and expensive to obtain.
These are some of the key issues that need to be resolved from a consumer’s perspective in order to make the mass purchase of hybrids by the public a reality. It should come as no surprise that in terms of long term cost, the original manufacturer of the hybrid, Toyota, is far ahead of its competitors when it comes to addressing the purchasing needs of consumers. This is currently the only model that over time will actually save a consumer some dollars because of gas savings. Here are some other models of hybrid cars slated for debut in the next few years.
Toyota Prius: Still the gold standard for hybrids, the Prius 2007 model is now being advertised for sale and is in the lot of a dealership near you. The model brags an incredible 110 miles to a single gallon. It is also expected that Toyota will continue to set the standard when it comes to speed for the hybrid (which has been another knock on hybrid vehicles, although they can maintain a legal speed along with any other model of vehicle just fine) as the 2004 model was designed to reach speeds of up to 130 miles per hour. $20,875 US dollars.
Ford Escape: The 2005 is the latest model in the Ford hybrid line, and is great for both domestic car enthusiasts and those who insist on having a sports utility vehicle. The Escape offers 50 miles to the gallon (keep in mind that it is an SUV) and all the luxuries of a standard model car. $27,000 USD.
Honda also offers three models in hybrid version, and these are a few thousand dollars less than Toyota models. As for hybrid luxuries, they might be in the near future as well, with Lexus and Mercedes working on perfecting their own models.

The very first Taguchi Award has been awarded to the Mazda Motor Corporation just very recently. The Taguchi Award is given by Japan’s Quality Engineering Society. The society has decided to award such an honor to Mazda as a way or recognizing the company’s innovative quality control techniques which actually make use of quality engineering approaches on all its production lines.
They were able to make such a decision after they were able to make studies and checked Mazda’s quality controls. After such a study, they were able to see that all got good results as well as successful outcomes. They also received excellent reviews. It was the Mazda Production Engineering Division that was chosen as the recipient organization of such a highly regarded award from the Quality Engineering Society.
Awarding of such a recognition to the Mazda Motor Corporation was done as part of the 14th Quality Engineering Conference which is held annually. It was done last 15th of this month in Tokyo, Japan. Receiving the award in behalf of the company was Yasuto Tatsuta who is the executive officer and general manager of the company’s Production Engineering Division.
So you may now ask what is the Quality Engineering Society? Well, it is the group that gives out the Taguchi Award. It recognizes companies or organizations who continuously strengthens its approaches to research and development. It also considers production and the quality of products that they provide the market. QES also checks into the group or company’s outcome which they base on the evidence like the performance of these groups or companies in its business. Another factor that they look at is the quality of engineering that shows in the improvement of the quality of products that is offered in the market.

Everyone’s favorite type of story one about a first car, in this story a 1962 Chevy Belair.
first cars, chevy, belair, 1962, women drivers, speed, street rods, hot rods, car restoration, car parts, cars, working on cars, showcase, matching numbers, matching car parts, matching vin numbers
My first car was a extraordinary black, 2 door 1962 Chevy Belair with blue vinyl seats, which Inicknamed “The Black Beauty? I mean she shined beautifully when polished. There is nothing like a black car highly polished! It also didn’t hurt to have those 8 cylinders and that great 283 workhorse engine that Chevy put in it! And all for the bargain price of $400! Five years later I sold it for the same price!
Like many of my generation, we normally got cars for our graduation. I was lucky, as my dad worked for Rolls Royce and the head mechanic there, Johnny T was selling this fantastic car. Now this wasn’t just any 1962 Chevy Belair. Since Johnny T was an avid fisherman and didn’t want to ruin the upholstery he covered the cloth upholstery with a blue vinyl one. Johnny also put in all the instrumentation needed on the inside of the car, oil and temp gauge, and tach.He also installed a blinker system, so the blinkers were on the hood. The final coupe de gracewas putting Rolls Royce seat belts in the car. Since Johnny was a great mechanic and of course,did all his own work, when he sold us the car he included extra tires and all the materials tokeep the brakes up to par for many years to come.
I can remember my first drive in the car. I pulled out of my drive way and drove over to the park a couple blocks away, too, of course, show it off to all my friends.
I cleaned the Black Beauty every weekend from top to bottom. My Saturday morning ritual was cleaning the inside, and then washing it. I waxed it once a month. My dad went and got me a 8 track cassette for it (yes, I know I just dated myself; for those of you who don’t know what an8 track is, think CD player of today)! Unfortunately my poor baby was broken into a couple oftimes when they stole my 8 track and some very nasty person slit the front seat. Bad enough they took my 8 track and tapes, the least they could have done is left the seat alone. So, yes there were bad eggs around then too!
Whenever we had to make a trip into the city (New York that is), my father made me drive whilehe sat in the back seat. It had a amazingly comfortable ride, even with all the pot holes on the Long Island Expressway! In addition to drives into the city, I had loads of fun in the Black Beauty with my friends.
Unfortunately I had to sell the “Black Beauty?when my husband and I went off to graduate school. However, don’t feel too bad, we had replaced it with a 1976 Pontiac Trans Am, yep, the last of the big 455’s. Plus we had the engine blue printed, balanced and a whole lot more, so it really hauled a**!
We sold the Black Beauty to a neighbor, who took out the vinyl seats and lo and behold the cloth ones were in excellent condition. He eventually sold it to his brother in Brooklyn, who while driving one day went to step on the brake pedal and his foot went through the floor. Unfortunately the harsh NY winters aren’t kind to cars!
I think many of us wax sentimental when we think of our first car, I know I do! Luckily , I still have my pictures and some very great memories of my “Black Beauty?
Drive On!

The paradox of the 2007 Honda Civic is it’s a sports car that doesn’t compromise fuel efficiency. The low friction 4-cylinder engine with torque rich i-VTEC engine is now available as a Hybrid with fuel efficiency of 50 mpg. The engine is connected to a powerful DC electric motor that stores the energy in a battery format. Both the exterior and interior styling have been updated to enhance the aerodynamics for even greater fuel efficiency. Driving a Honda has never been this much fun.

Given the fact we’re at post-peak oil, which means we’ve extinguished 50% of the world’s oil deposits, we must ponder at our need for larger, less efficient automobiles. The 2006 Honda Civic sedan seems to address this universal concern by giving us an expressively styled car that features a torque rich engine, matched to electric handling, but one that doesn’t compromise fuel economy (EPA of 40 mpg; and 50 mpg for the Hybrid). If there was ever a time to consider a car that’s fun to drive, good for the planet, and easy on your wallet ?it’s either the Honda Civic sedan or the Civic Hybrid.
The new Civic sedan’s futuristic look and sublime technology make it stand out from the ordinary. A technical marvel, the 2006 Civic sedan is the culmination of 34 years of Honda engineering. In 1983, the Civic was the first Honda to introduce the DOHC multi-valve engine. In 1987, the Civic featured Honda’s brilliant VTEC ?variable valve timing and lift system to enhance horsepower without increasing engine displacement. In 1991, the VTEC was further refined to enhance both gas efficiency and horsepower. For 2006, the Civic sedan has already earned Motor Trend magazine’s Car of the Year Award based on its exceptional cutting edge technology, and sensual design.
Resolute comfort is an understatement for the new Civic sedan. Sit behind the futuristic, space age steering wheel and your impressions are confirmed. The 2-spoke steering wheel can be adjusted for tilt and telescope letting you fine tune its exact position. There is a bold new RPM dial to keep you informed about the vital stats of the car on the go. The cockpit also features a backlit two-tier instrument panel displaying information about velocity, temperature, and fuel that are backlit for easy reading.
Reinforced, supportive seats are extremely comfortable for long drives. Each seat is further enmeshed with an active head restraint system to reduce whiplash in case of an accident. For the back seat passengers, the flat floor makes it easy to move around and the wide seats with their ergonomically contoured back makes them more comfortable to sit in than ever before. The suspension and steering systems have also been re-engineered from the ground up for quick, precise response, and a highly refined road feedback quality. The 2006 Honda Civic sedan is an uncompromised, communicative unit.
Powering the 2006 Civic sedan is the new 140 horsepower, 1.8 Liter i-VTEC engine that comes alive in all Civic DX, LX, and EX models. Honda’s racing heritage can be vociferously felt in i-VTEC technology. It provides acceleration across the entire RPM band with the inline 4 providing max horsepower at 6300 RPM and max torque at 4300 RPM while achieving an EPA estimated fuel economy of 40 miles per gallon. (The quieter compact 5-speed automatic transmission further enhances fuel savings.) The new engine also features a Drive-by-Wire Throttle System?for quicker engine response and less maintenance. The Civic has also attained an Ultra-Low-Emission Vehicle (ULEV) rating in 50 states.
For 2006, the Civic sedan is also available as a Hybrid featuring a lightweight, low friction 4-cylinder engine with torque rich i-VTEC engine and a dual-point sequential ignition system that sparks two plugs per cylinder. The engine is connected to a powerful DC electric motor that stores the energy in a battery format. The result is a 110 horsepower engine that is better for the environment with EPA estimated fuel efficiency of 50 mpg during city driving.
The Civic features a long list of standard safety features including: active head restraints, daytime running lights; advanced compatibility engineering (ACE) that structurally absorbs energy; anti-lock brakes with electronic brake distribution to monitor each wheel during heavy braking; dual-stage, dual-threshold front; side airbags; a side curtain system; and structurally reinforced side-impact door beams. In all, the new Civic sedan is well on its way to earning a 5-Star Crash-Test rating by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ?the highest possible accomplishment of any motor car.
The 2006 Honda Civic sedan seeks to fulfill the perfect balance between the car that appeals to your senses, and the car that appeases your conscience. With a MSRP of $14,760 ?$20,760 your senses will be satiated with the 2006 Civic sedan’s sleek exterior styling, and its exciting driving personality. And your conscience will be pleased that the planet will be less harmed by your decision to park one at your home or apartment.
