Redundancy for 25 workers as slump continues


We thought the Lexus HS250h would be a cynical rebadge of the Prius with a little more power. We were wrong. The HS was marginally unique enough, but then ToMoCo went and cynically reabdged it as a Toyota and called it the Sai. Sigh. It hasn’t been confirmed for the US yet, but if it

iPod in Your Car

1, Oct 2009

It was in 2006 when Apple first launched a handy, handsome looking iPOD to play over 24 hours music without skipping or other problems that was being faced by other music playing devices. Soon iPODs became a great hit and were affordable by each and everyone. Still you see kids to adults wearing headsets and traveling while listening to their favorite music. We love cars and we love iPODs so how was it not possible that we would have come up with something to merge these two to get maximum enjoyment out of our long and tiring drives. Although iPODs are movable and can be connected to your car through a cassette adapter but people prefer keeping two separate iPODs for their personal use and one that is installed in the car. Philips TransDock for iPod You have jazzed up your car with a spoiler, tints, brand new rims and a stereo system. To get maximum output on that marvelous stereo system is to compliment it with an iPOD for your car. The handling of music becomes easier while you can enjoy the sound productivity from your new stereo system. Before people used to own one iPOD that was used for personal as well as in the car but now when it has come to a price that is affordable by each and every individual people now own 2-3 iPODs. One of them definitely has to be installed in the cars as most of the use of it comes when you are stuck in jam packed traffic. Your only friend at that time may be a cell phone or an iPOD. Belkin TuneCast for iPod/iPhone Luxurious and expensive cars including Audi, Bentley, Buick, BMW, Cadillac, Ford, Chevrolet, Jaguar, Mercedes, Lexus, Rolls Royce and of course Ferrari now comes with built-in iPODs whose menu changing dial is given between the speed dial where you can easily change tracks without any trouble. Although for all those who do not own a car with a built in iPOD worry no more because you can install an iPOD in your car without moving around or changing too much inside your vehicle. A holder can be installed in your automobile that will hold the iPOD perfectly right next to your stereo system. So instead of choosing CDs and tracks from your stereo system you can directly choose tracks from your iPOD and without a doubt the quality of iPOD music is just as good as listening to a CD. This is complimented by an excellent component stereo system which emphasis on every tune individually. Now as iPODs come with a FM transmission it enables you to make your iPOD the ultimate music player in the car without switching to your stereo system for FM and then back to your iPOD for selected tracks. Philips DLA97878 FM Transmitter and Car Charger for iPod The vehicles now being made are iPOD friendly while you can have your iPOD plugged in to your headsets if you do not feel like turning it up. In the late 80s surveys showed that only 4% of the vehicles being made came with an MP3 player or equipment to enable mp3 players but now due to the technology advancement and craze for electrical gadgets more than 75% cars come with either a stereo system that can handle an iPOD or a built in iPOD system. If you are still pondering about installing one in your car then think no further trust me it is going to be a great investment that you can enjoy for a really long time. iPOD in your car will be your friend when it comes to boring drives or jam packed traffics that last for hours.

The F Series line of pickups from Ford have stood the test of time. I myself have owned two different ones, a 97 F150 and an 04 F150, both of which I was very happy with. Dependability, performance, even a little luxury, but maybe they weren’t quite as rugged as I would have liked. That’s why Ford offers Super Duty F Series options, for those who really need to beat up their trucks. The redesigned 2011 Super Duty will over 2 different engine configurations. The gasoline V8 will be a whopping 6.2 liters, while the diesel version will be a 6.7 turbo charged v8. Either one sounds like they won’t have any trouble pulling whatever you might be able to hook up to. Also, thanks to Ford’s relentless pursuit of efficiency, just because you need a big dog doesn’t mean it will eat like one. Ford claims that the new Diesel 2011 Super Duty will be the best-in-class for fuel economy. 2011 Ford Super Duty Original automotive content: Automotive Blog 2011 Ford Super Duty Pic
