For those of us that just came back from Detroit or live in an area that extremely warm you will be happy to know that every automaker tests its products to make sure that no individual parts show any signs of warping or sagging when subjected to high temperatures. For example GM tests its cars at 200 degrees Fahrenheit. They recently produced a video showing their test of the Chevy Volt.

LA Auto Show Roundup

Chris — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 07:45:45 +0000

All the big news at this year’s LA Auto Show is small cars. It all started with the big reveal of the Chevy Cruze compact car that will be replacing the outgoing and aging Cobalt model. The new Cruze will sport either a 1.8L engine or a turbocharged 1.4L with the same power output as the larger engine but with an estimated 40mpg. This new compact from Chevy will target the Honda Civic, Ford Focus and Toyota Corolla as its sales competition.

Ford and Mazda have micro on the mind as they reveal their new hot hatch sub compact cars. First one being the highly anticipated Ford Fiesta, sporting a 1.6L engine and 40mpg (seems to be a trend here) the big news though is the inclusion of the PowerShift electronic dual clutch automatic transmission. This will allow the Fiesta to be lighter than a typical automatic transmission car and has a sealed internal lubrication so it is maintenance free. The new Mazda2 was announced for the US market without specifics. It is known that the car is based on the same architecture as the Ford Fiesta but the engine and driving dynamics being specifically built to Mazda’s Zoom Zoom quality.

The big winner of the day on reveals goes to Mitsubishi with its announcement of the Colt here in the USA. The EVO nosed Colt is a current global car for Mitsubishi and will be up against a tough and growing crowd of B-Segment cars like the Ford Fiesta, Mazda2, Toyota Yaris, Nissan Versa, and Honda Fit. No details have been given yet, but we know that it will come with a manual or CVT transmission and have a MIVEC engine. A turbocharged Ralliart version is sold in Japan and would be the fastest B-segment on the market if introduced.

Now if we could twist American Suzuki Motor Corporations arm a little we could fill the segment with the world’s best B-Segment hit the Suzuki Swift, maybe there will be a surprise left at the LA Auto Show.

Stay tuned to OdoClub blog for the latest updates from the LA Auto Show. Also, if you are planning to attend the LA Auto Show make sure you sign up for OdoClub before you hit the road.

OnStar Stops First High Speed Chase

Chris — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 03:00:04 +0000

OnStar was Mr. Jose Ruiz’s hero after he was carjacked in Visalia Ca. Stopped at a light in the early morning Mr. Ruiz was approached by a man with a gun and told to get out of his Chevy Tahoe and remove the contents of his pockets. Ruiz’s cousin was in the car with him and at first refused to comply. However, knowing that OnStar would recover the vehicle Mr. Ruiz told his cousin to obey. As the Tahoe sped off Mr. Ruiz went to find a pay phone and instead found an off duty sheriff on her break. The sheriff notified local police about the carjacking. Officers quickly contacted OnStar and with Mr. Ruiz’s permission tracked the vehicle, as officers spotted it the suspect started to flee. That is when OnStar sent a signal to disable the vehicle. The Tahoe rolled to a slow stop and the 21 year old suspect was apprehended. From notification of the stolen vehicle it took OnStar only 16 minutes to find the truck and disable it so the police could apprehend the suspect. Mr. Ruiz had his Chevy Tahoe and property returned to him the same day as his carjacking.
