Cars: Subaru 2.5 Liter Turbo Engine Named International Engine of the Year
Subaru 2.5 Liter Turbo Engine Named International Engine of the Year
CHERRY HILL, N.J., May 8 -- Subaru's 2.5-liter Boxer turbo engine
has won the 2008 International Engine of the Year award in the 2.0-liter to
2.5-liter category.
"
This is a testament to the unique design qualities of our Boxer engine," said
Tim Mahoney, senior vice president and chief marketing officer for Subaru of
America, Inc. "Subaru has been producing Boxer engines for over 40 years
and we are delighted to once again be recognized by the International Engine
of the Year Awards committee."
Juror, Christophe Congrega of L'Automobile Magazine, stated that the Subaru
engine is: "A 2.5-liter Boxer full of torque and power." This statement
is backed up by the fact that Subaru's Boxer engine beat BMW's 2.5-liter
6 cylinder engine twice in its category for the International Engine of the
Year Award in the last three years.
The 65 judges on the International Engine of the Year Awards 2008 committee
were impressed with the Subaru Boxer engine's power in the 4 cylinder 305
hp Subaru Impreza WRX STI, but were equally impressed with the performance
of the 2.5-liter turbo in the 224 hp Subaru Forester. The engine is also
found in the 224 hp Subaru WRX and in naturally aspirated form in the 170
hp 2.5i Subaru Impreza and Subaru Forester. The jury noted that aside from
being a performance powerhouse, the Subaru Boxer engine offers impressive
fuel economy.
As judge Nikos Kounitis stated, "This powerful, fun-to-drive engine justifies
Subaru's persistence in Boxer engines."
The Subaru Boxer engine is produced in several forms for world markets including
4 cylinder engines in 1.5-liter, 2.0-liter, 2.5-liter capacity and also 6
cylinder 3.0-liter and 3.6-liter versions. Additionally, the Company recently
introduced the world's first Boxer diesel engine for sale in Europe.

Cars: Chrysler Celebrates Production of All-New 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8(R)
Chrysler Celebrates Production of All-New 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8(R)
- Highly anticipated 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8(R) production begins at Brampton
Assembly Plant
- Employees, guests join Chrysler executive Vice President Frank Ewasyshyn
for festivities
- Manufacturing expertise contributes to product quality
- Modern muscle car offers best of past, present
AUBURN HILLS, Mich., May 8 -- Chrysler LLC today celebrated the
production launch of one of the industry's most highly anticipated vehicles
-- the all-new 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8(R). Dodge Challenger is back in Chrysler's
line-up as a modern muscle car with a new SRT8 model. A full line-up will follow
in the 2009 model-year. Consumer interest in the Dodge Challenger has been
some of the highest seen at Chrysler.
The all-new Dodge Challenger is built at Chrysler's Brampton Assembly Plant
on the same assembly line as the Dodge Charger and the award-winning Chrysler
300.
"
Even though the development time for this Dodge Challenger SRT8 is one of the
shortest in Chrysler's history, the wait for this exciting car has been too
long, and as of today, the wait is finally over!" said Frank Ewasyshyn,
Executive Vice President - Manufacturing. "Dodge Challenger represents
the best of Chrysler's past and future. The teams that worked to bring this
vehicle to market with quality and speed have done an excellent job."
Nearly 1,000 employees and invited guests joined Mr. Ewasyshyn for the celebration.
Quality Manufacturing
To ensure quality targets were met and to foster a smooth manufacturing launch,
a team of Brampton employees spent months helping to build pilot vehicles
at Chrysler's Auburn Hills Technology Center. Then, early pre-production
models were built on the Brampton assembly line -- rather than a pilot facility
-- which allowed engineers to more realistically test the production process.
"
The vision of rolling launches on lines that build multiple and variant models
is becoming a reality as demonstrated with the Dodge Challenger at the Brampton
Assembly Plant," said Fred Godetel, Vice President - Car and Minivan Manufacturing. "Chrysler's
Flexible Manufacturing Strategy, little more than a theory a few years ago,
is being proved out at plants across North America."
The Brampton Assembly Plant features Chrysler's Flexible Manufacturing Strategy
which provides for the production of higher quality products at lower cost.
This unique system combines off-the-shelf robotics with customized and interchangeable
tooling to build a variety of products on a single assembly line. This manufacturing
expertise also allows the Company to more quickly and easily balance vehicle
production with customer demand.

Cars: STMicroelectronics and Mobileye Deliver Second-Generation System-on-Chip for Vis
STMicroelectronics and Mobileye Deliver Second-Generation System-on-Chip for
Vision-Based Driver Assistance Systems
GENEVA and JERUSALEM, May 7 -- STMicroelectronics (NYSE:STM)
, a leader in the design and manufacture of automotive ICs, and Mobileye N.V.,
the leading provider of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) to the automotive
industry, today announced that the two companies have successfully sampled
the second generation of their system-on-chip EyeQ2 for the vision-based driver
assistance segment of the automotive market.
The implementation of this type of technology is fundamental for increasing
safety on ever more congested roads. According to research (Autosafe 2006)
the total number of casualties on the roads of USA, Europe and Japan was
94,000 and regional programs are being launched to reduce this to 63,000
by 2010. It has been shown that if drivers reacted half a second earlier,
they would avoid approximately half of all accidents. In Europe, one third
of accidents are due to lane changing or leaving the road, and overall two
thirds are due to lack of attention.
The first generation of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, implemented on
EyeQ1, are already in production at several car makers and offer functionality
such as lane-departure warning (LDW), adaptive headlight control, traffic-sign
recognition, collision avoidance through radar/camera fusion and forward
collision warning that can drastically reduce the number of accidents. The
LDW is akin to a 'virtual rumble strip' that alerts drivers when they cross
lane markings -- a common factor in many head-on collisions and other serious
accidents.
"
By using an audible warning upon an unintentional deviation from the driving
lane, these lane-departure warning systems create an intelligent rumble strip
imitation that alerts the driver even when there are no physical strips on
the shoulder of the road," explained Amnon Shashua, Ph.D., Chairman of
Mobileye N.V. and the Sachs professor of computer science at the Hebrew University
of Jerusalem in Israel.
As a significant portion of run-off-road crashes are attributed to driving
while drowsy, to the point of falling asleep at the wheel, Mobileye's lane-detection
technologies can play an instrumental role in reducing accidents and fatalities
for multi-tasking motorists who also log long hours.
The new generation ADAS being sampled now takes this active safety concept
to a new level. By increasing the processing power six fold, the EyeQ2 introduces
added functionality, such as pedestrian detection and well as the previously
mentioned lane-departure warning (LDW), adaptive headlight control, traffic-sign
recognition, collision avoidance and forward collision warning on one vision
processor. The EyeQ2 takes input from two high-resolution image sensors and
has video-output capabilities that include graphic overlay.
Pedestrians are the most vulnerable road users and in the EU alone, it is estimated
that there are 9,000 fatalities and 200,000 injuries from road accidents
involving cars colliding with pedestrians or cyclists. Pedestrian detection
is in development with a major European OEM and is slated for production
on EyeQ2 bundled together with additional features including LDW and collision-mitigation
functions.
"
The detection capabilities of the EyeQ2, even in difficult environmental conditions,
allow for both notification and for crash mitigation, increasing safety for
road users dramatically," said Marco Monti, Vice President of STMicroelectronics'
Automotive Product Group. "By combining ST's automotive design and manufacturing
expertise with Mobileye's strength in video-based driver-assist systems we
provide an optimal solution for innovative, automotive-market proven, and cost-competitive
solutions for the automotive market."

Purchase Volkswagen's All-New Routan and Help Fund Your Child's College Tuition
Volkswagen partners with Upromise(R) to provide customers $1,500 when they
buy or lease a Routan
HERNDON, Va., May 7 -- Volkswagen of America, Inc. announced
today a partnership with Upromise, the country's largest private source of
college funding contributions, to provide $1,500 to customers who purchase
or lease a new 2009 Routan for their child's future education savings.
"
We know parents are concerned about saving for their kid's future. To help
families tackle this challenge of saving for college, we're excited that we
are able to partner with Upromise," said Tim Ellis, Vice President of
Marketing, Volkswagen of America, Inc. "We're aware that the cost of college
continues to rise exponentially, far outpacing inflation, and our hope is to
help our customer's off-set that cost, while getting a great new vehicle."
Upromise members can get $1,500 in college savings when they pre-order a Routan
by August 31, 2008 and take delivery by November 30, 2008. To do so, members
should log on to www.upromise.com/vw, print their unique Upromise VW Savings
Code, and present it to their preferred Volkswagen dealer at the time the
pre-order deposit is made. Anyone can join Upromise at no charge simply by
visiting www.upromise.com. Signing up is fast, simple and completely free.
The Routan, Volkswagen's all-new seven-passenger minivan, delivers families
the best of both worlds: a vehicle that combines German sensibilities in
design, fit and finish, and handling characteristics with market relevant
features and outstanding value. The Routan is instantly recognizable as a
member of the Volkswagen family, with its stylized front grille and exterior
treatments. The interior enhancements create an environment that is visually
pleasing, modern, and meticulously detailed. The high quality materials,
beautiful textures and rich luxurious colors are combined with exacting tolerances
and superb fit and finish.
While pleasing and contemporary, the Routan's interior also follows the traditional
Volkswagen design philosophy that form follows function. The Routan comes
with a host of functional features, including: conversation mirror, rear
seat entertainment system with two nine inch screens for second and third
row, touch screen navigation with 30 GB JoyBox(TM) Multi-Media Entertainment
system, dual power sliding doors with power windows, power fold third row
seating for extra storage room, and no less than thirteen cup holders.
Second row captain's chairs offer an increased level of luxury and comfort
while still providing the convenience of a traditional minivan, with over
32.7 cubic feet available behind the third row seats and a full 83 cubic
feet is available behind the second row.
The Routan will come standard with a 3.8L V6, offering 197 hp and 230 lb. ft.
of torque when combined with the standard six-speed automatic transmission.
A 4.0L V6 will also be available rated at 251 hp and 259 lb. ft. of torque.
Routan features European tuned suspension and steering optimized for handling
and improved driving dynamics. Standard all-season traction control and ESP,
brings safety and security to the Routan.
The Routan will have starting prices of $24,700 for the S Model, $29,600 for
the SE Model, $33,200 for the SEL Model and $38,400 for the SEL Model equipped
with a Premium Package. A distinctly designed minivan at an attractive price
point will broaden the brand portfolio, while providing a roomy alternative
to existing Volkswagen owners. The Routan is expected to be available at
dealers in September 2008.

Cars: Lamborghini Makes Another Iconic Appearance in Latest Batman Movie 'The Dar
Lamborghini Makes Another Iconic Appearance in Latest Batman Movie 'The Dark
Knight'
- Bruce Wayne Drives Batmobile by night, Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 by Day
-
SANT'AGATA BOLOGNESE, Italy, May 6 -- When he isn't protecting
Gotham City from various villains in the Batmobile as his alter ego, Batman,
billionaire Bruce Wayne's vehicle of choice is one of Lamborghini's sexiest
super sports car ever built, the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640. Bruce Wayne's
newest Lamborghini can be first seen prowling the streets in the movie's new,
extended theatrical trailer shown in theatres May 2, 2008, prior to "Iron
Man."
The Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Coupe is not Bruce Wayne's first Lamborghini.
The association with the marquee began in 2005 when Propaganda Global Entertainment
Marketing, Lamborghini's entertainment marketing firm for worldwide activities,
brokered the deal for the Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster to make its on-screen
debut in "Batman Begins." In the film, Bruce Wayne can be seen
driving the Lamborghini supercar to an exclusive party with two beautiful
models in the passenger seat.
The Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Coupe appearing in "The Dark Knight" is
powered by a 640 horsepower 12-cylinder engine and is capable of more than
211 mph.
"
The Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 is the natural choice for Bruce Wayne's other
car," stated Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. "Lamborghini
is proud to be associated with one of the greatest movie franchises in history,
especially co-starring with the night-bound Batmobile."
"
The Dark Knight" is set to be released in theatres worldwide on July 18,
2008.

Cars: Chrysler LLC Delivers Economic Stimulus; Protects Consumers from Rising Gas Pric
Chrysler LLC Delivers Economic Stimulus; Protects Consumers from Rising Gas Prices
for Three Years
- "Let's Refuel America" available throughout the U.S. exclusively
at Chrysler, Jeep(R) and Dodge dealerships through June 2, 2008
- Three-year price protection from volatile gas prices available on compact,
mid-size and full-size models, minivans, crossovers and pickup truck models
- Seventy-six percent of customers cite rising gas prices as "top concern"
AUBURN HILLS, Mich., May 5 -- In response to direct customer
feedback citing the prospect of rising gas prices as a top concern, Chrysler
LLC today announces its own economic stimulus package: an exclusive gas price
protection policy that eliminates the risk of further spikes in fuel prices.
With the U.S. purchase of eligible Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge vehicles, customers
can enroll in the "Let's Refuel America" program and receive a gas
card that immediately lowers their gas price to $2.99 a gallon, and keeps it
there for three years. The offer is available at 3,511 U.S. Chrysler, Jeep
and Dodge dealerships through June 2, 2008, and is available on vehicles ranging
from popular new compacts, crossovers and minivans to full-size diesel-powered
pickup trucks.
"
Today we are proud to introduce an unprecedented program to help put customers'
minds at ease and do something to help working people who are worried about
the volatility of fuel prices and vehicle cost of ownership," said Jim
Press, Vice-Chairman and President, Chrysler LLC. "The Let's Refuel America
Price Guarantee puts money in your pocket today, and allows our customers to
better manage their fuel expenses. And you can't get it anywhere else besides
a Chrysler, Jeep or Dodge dealership."
The Let's Refuel America program offers consumers a combination of the fuel
price protection program and additional bonus cash up to $3,000 on available
vehicles, including Chrysler PT Cruiser, Dodge Charger, Jeep Grand Cherokee,
Dodge Dakota and Dodge Ram.
Consumer Economic Solutions
Chrysler has a number of solutions to help our customers during these tough
economic times. "Chrysler is committed to providing the best value,
and the least worries, for our customers," said Press.
Chrysler's lineup includes five models for under $20,000 that get 28 miles-per-gallon
or better on the highway. To protect consumers from unexpected repair costs
in the future, Chrysler models come with the industry's best powertrain warranty,
covering the original owner for the life of the vehicle. And Chrysler has
made a number of its most popular options standard on its New Day Package
vehicles.
Fuel Economy Solutions
Chrysler currently offers six models that get better than 28 miles-per- gallon
on the highway: Chrysler Sebring, Chrysler Sebring Convertible, Dodge Avenger,
Jeep Compass, Jeep Patriot and Dodge Caliber. Through April, the six of these
models combined have higher sales than in the first four months of 2007.
The recently-launched 2009 Dodge Journey comes with an available 173-hp four
cylinder engine, helping it achieve best in class fuel economy.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel 3.0-liter engine provides a class-leading driving
range of approximately 450 miles and gets an estimated fuel economy of 18
miles/city and 23 miles/highway for 4x2 models and 17 miles/city and 22 miles/highway
for 4x4 models. Outside of North America where fuel-saving diesel engines
are in higher demand, Chrysler offers 17 models with diesel powertrains.
This fall, Chrysler will launch in the United States, two new hybrid SUVs,
the Dodge Durango Hybrid and Chrysler Aspen Hybrid, boasting a fuel economy
improvement of more than 25 percent overall, and 40 percent in the city.
In 2010, the Dodge Ram Hybrid will reach the market.
Chrysler is currently in the midst of a $3 billion powertrain investment offensive
to develop new fuel-efficient powertrains and axles for our next- generation
models.
Chrysler supports the federal government's new dramatically increased CAFE
fuel economy standards, which will increase fuel efficiency by an average
of 40 percent by 2020. Recently, Chrysler joined the US Climate Action Partnership,
working to find solutions to global greenhouse gas emissions.
Customer Advisory Board
In February, Chrysler created the industry's first Customer Advisory Board
to encourage a direct dialogue with customers and gather insight and feedback.
A recent Advisory Board survey generated the following results:
- 76 percent of the community is "very concerned" or "extremely
concerned" about fuel prices.
- 83 percent of the community responded that fuel prices will affect
their summer vacation plans.
(Note: the poll shows that 19 percent responded "extremely", 22
percent
responded "very much", 30 percent responded "somewhat",
and 12 percent
responded slightly, 17 percent responded that it won't affect their
plans.)

Car Racing: Land Rover G4 Challenge Nevada Passage Adventure Competition Gets Underway on
Land Rover G4 Challenge Nevada Passage Adventure Competition Gets Underway on
May 6
Nevada hosts only U.S. qualifier - one of 18 national selection events worldwide
CARSON CITY, Nev., May 5 -- Twenty amateur adventure athletes
will drive, run, bike, climb and kayak through the wide-open Nevada landscape
as Land Rover North America and the Nevada Commission on Tourism kick off the
Land Rover G4 Challenge Nevada Passage, May 6. The four-day multistage competition,
which lasts through Friday, is the United States' sole qualifying event for
the prestigious international Land Rover G4 Challenge.
The top two teams will advance to the international selection event at Eastnor
Castle in Herefordshire, United Kingdom, in early 2009, where one team will
be selected to represent the United States against teams from 17 other countries
in the three-week-long finals taking place in Asia mid-2009.
Ranging in age from 25 to 47 years of age, male and female athletes from 13
states have been paired into 10 coed teams to race across the majestic mountains,
scenic deserts and historic lakes of Nevada.
With driving at the core of the competition, each team will be equipped with
a fully outfitted 2008 model year chawton white Land Rover LR3 HSE vehicle
brilliantly logoed for the event. Teams will navigate their way across hundreds
of miles of existing, yet off the beaten path, 4WD dirt roads throughout
southern Nevada and camp under the stars each night.
The specifics of each day's challenge are a secret to the competitors; they
only know there will be some off-road driving, navigating, trail running,
mountain biking and kayaking involved.
"
We can hardly wait to get this competition underway and showcase Nevada's incredible
recreational opportunities to a wide-ranging audience across the country and
around the world," Lt. Gov. Brian K. Krolicki, Nevada Commission on Tourism
chair, said.
The Land Rover G4 Challenge is recognized as one of the world's top off- road
driving and adventure events and is held every two years with national selection
events taking place in 18 countries around the world. This year marks only
the second time the United States has participated in the global competition
since the inaugural event in 2003.
"
We are so excited to partner with Land Rover, a brand that promises class and
rugged adventure, to create an event that truly distinguishes Nevada as an
outdoor adventure mecca," Director Tim Maland of the Nevada Commission
on Tourism said.
In 2005, the tourism commission created Nevada Passage as a dynamic and entertaining
way to brand the state as a premier outdoor adventure destination. Nevada
Passage is a made-for-television adventure competition and is syndicated
in more than 80 markets across the country, along with regional and resort
cable networks. To date, Nevada Passage has showcased 18 different locations
and adventures to 25 million potential television viewers nationwide and
earned $5.6 million in free publicity.
Past competitions have included events such as back-country skiing in the Sierra
Nevada, sand boarding near Fallon, kayaking on the Truckee River in downtown
Reno and rock climbing in Red Rock Canyon, just outside Las Vegas. Land Rover
North America saw the Nevada Passage as a natural fit for the G4 Challenge.
"
The Land Rover G4 Challenge epitomizes the spirit of adventure," Finbar
McFall, vice president of marketing for Land Rover North America, said. "The
competition was designed to reward teamwork, athleticism and strategic thinking.
The grueling mental and physical challenges take competitors from extreme off-roading
in the desert to kayaking through some of Nevada's rockiest waters. In the
end, the winning team of the Land Rover G4 Challenge will be rewarded for their
endurance and stamina in navigating one of the world's most demanding adventure
competitions."
