  Worldwide, Luxury car dealers see varying degrees of economic impact

  More signs of global economic slowdown. Reports from Luxury auto dealers in India are that they are not seeing an increase in demand for Rolls Royce between this November and November 2008. Like here in the US, dealers are citing the financing crater as a major problem. Apparently dealers of Laborghini, Porche and Bentley are feeling the same crunch abroad. More detail available at: IndiaTimes.com Interestingly Rolls Royce has only started selling cars in India again, after a 50 year hiatus, in 2005. More on this point at Carpages.co.uk

  

  Although it isn’t bad everywhere.  In Qatar the persuit of luxury cars is still moving full speed head.

  

  “As a Qatari banker I have some apprehensions about the global financial downturn, but I think Qatar should do fine and we are relatively safe here,” he observed. The auto lover agreed that cost is a factor when considering a new car. “I am hoping to negotiate a lower price,” he said.

  Congress Supports Mileage Tax, Tracking Drivers Via GPS

  

  Big Brother is watching you, or he will be, at least.

  On Capitol Hill, members of Congress are throwing support behind a new piece of legislation that will swap the gasoline tax for a mileage tax, allowing the government to tax drivers based on the number of miles they drive rather than the amount of fuel they consume. According to proponents of the plan, the demand for higher fuel-efficiency and the sudden influx of hybrid cars are in danger of stymying the flow of revenue reaped from the gasoline tax. Specifically, Congress is concerned that the nation’s bridges and roads will fall into a state of neglect without the gasoline tax to fund new projects. Fearing that the jobs of countless municipal workers standing around smoking Marlboro’s and jabber-jawing might be in jeopardy, Congress has proposed levying a mileage tax to ensure a “more reliable source” of funding. The devil, however, is in the details.

  While a mileage tax would theoretically level the playing field between different types of vehicles, opponents of the plan cite a host of potential problems, chief among them the stark violation of privacy. Currently, the only successful method by which to monitor and record a vehicle’s activity from a satellite location is via GPS device, which would allow the government to constantly monitor a vehicle’s every move. Although White House spokesman Robert Gibbs firmly stated that a mileage tax “is not and will not be a policy of the Obama administration,” staunch supporters of the tax like Rep. James Oberstar (D-Minn.) appear ready to go head-to-head with their own party in favor passing the tax. In response to Gibbs’ immediate dismissal of the suggestion, Oberstar reportedly said, “I have news for you, transportation policy is not going to be written from the press room of the White House.”

  Magna Unveils its new Electric Vehicle at Geneva

  It is an Austrian-based auto manufacturer Magna Steyr who decided to bit Mitsubishi at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show. The company will present their new eco-friendly vehicle that is fully electric Magna Steyr MILA Concept. It is reported that the car will come with a lithium ion battery pack and recharge time of 2.5 hours.

  

  A car can drive up to 150 kilometers on a single but full charge. However, even if everybody concerned loves the car, Magna Steyr doesn’t feel like producing the MILA for the mass market. The car will be created as a concept solely and some parts can be bought  by other auto makers.

  By the way, magna is going to cooperate with Ford in order to create a fully electrical vehicle with zero CO2 emissions.

  The She Driver Set – Screwdrivers For Women

  To tell the truth I don’t belong to a kind of women who likes and drives small red cars and puts numerous fluffy bears in them, I even don’t like all these stickers on women cars, I DO believe they are not for real drivers. But the following set of screwdrivers for women is fantastic – even if you don’t feel like using them you will be surprised how nice and pretty they are.

  

  No doubts, this set looks like a bridal gift or a box of lollipops, I think nobody will treat this driver seriously and any of this screw-driver will put smile on face of a man. BUT, tastes differ and I guess a lot of girls will like it. Would you use the She Driver set just as it is?

  BMW 5 Series GT Concept Officially Revealed

  Any BMW car is an embodiment of luxury. To drive a BMW car means to be on the top of the world and among really successful and rich people. The BMW 5-series Gran Turismo Concept is exactly of this kind. The car is all about the “driving experience” and attractive appearance. What I like the most, the company has finally backed down from their usual black colour concept and created an eye-pleasing soft apricot colour.

  

  The 5-series Gran Turismo Concept is a Progressive Activity Sedan, that is their own category name they are going to create for vehicles. For example, let me remind you that the X6 not is positioned as an SAV (Sport Activity Vehicle).

  

  The new BMW is pure elegance and luxury four-door, four-seat coupe. I don’t understand the idea behind providing this car with 1650 liters of luggage space but the idea with the Panorama glass roof is something I like a lot. Travelling with comfort and style that is the idea behind this car.
