<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Se vc é daqueles, que como eu, tenta fugir da onda dos carros koreanos e acha que os caras já fizeram de tudo no ramo do vamos imitar qualquer automóvel da terra e vender mais barato, esqueça.</p>
<p>O brinquedinho abaixo é o Kia Forte. Se já tinha visto, já pensou com certeza: o carro parece ser no minimo muito legal. Se não viu, tá aí.</p>
<p>O que mais me chama a atenção é que eles pegam todos os pontos altos dos carros da categoria, misturam, tiram as falhas e mandam bala.</p>
<p>Olha só: concorrentes diretos: Civic, Corolla &#38; cia&#8230;</p>
<p>O design é tão atual quanto o do Civic; o acabamento interno (pelo menos parece ser) impecável e o tamanho do porta malas vai ser para estremecer a concorrencia.</p>
<p>Pois é&#8230; se não for na sua, vai ser na garagem do vizinho que ele estará&#8230;</p>

<p>Vc viu a foto aí encima?</p>
<p>De onde vc acha que foi tirada? Lemans? LeSabre?</p>
<p>Para alegria dos franceses os Peugots deram uma surra nos Audi em Lemans(a  foto é do circuito de Lemans).</p>
<p>Então, vc se pergunta: o que tem de especial esta porcaria desta foto???? Aí que tá. Não é uma foto.</p>
<p>É uma tela do novo jogo Forza Motorsport 3. Microsoft. Concorrente direto do famoso GT5 para Playstation&#8230; com uma diferença. O Forza agora poderá ser usado para treinamento em RFactor.</p>
<p>E RFactor seria&#8230; o simulador oficial usado pelos pilotos de todas as categorias, seja formula ou turismo. Chequem os vídeos aí embaixo. Os detalhes da força G na tocada&#8230; show.</p>
<p>Quando for grande vou ter um desses lá em casa&#8230; mas antes vou precisar de uma casa maior para caber um desses!!!!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:left;"><strong><em>A new international marketplace for luxury cars has been launched.</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong><em><br />
</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>www.luxyauto.com</strong> is a uniformly styled and easy to navigate online marketplace with an attractive graphic design. The site deals solely with new and used cars costing €50,000 or more. Each object is presented with a comprehensive set of professional pictures, offering interested parties a good impression of the overall state and condition of the car.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Luxyauto.com is a European advertising forum presented in six languages. The concept provides an extremely effective tool for anyone who deals in exclusive cars and who has a desire to communicate with a well-informed audience possessing considerable purchasing power.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>Interview with Mr. Christer Olausson – Founder of Luxyauto.com</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em>Why did you decide to establish the Luxyauto.com marketplace?</em></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">“Having studied the advertising of vehicles for sale on the Internet we were of the opinion that there is currently no dedicated advertising site focussed on exclusive cars,” explains Mr. Christer Olausson, founder of Luxyauto.com. “At the moment, all those parties active in the market offer a broad range of objects for sale, and all these objects are presented in a similar way, irrespective of the price class.” To reinforce his point, Mr. Olausson shows a few examples on the computer. The approach is similar on all the sites – most of the cars are marketed with highly dubious pictures. “One should focus on what one knows – car salespeople should sell cars, not act as photographers. I don’t know of any other industry working with capital goods or services that accepts such amateur photography.” It is for this reason that Mr. Olausson and his colleagues decided to develop Luxyauto.com, a concept designed especially for cars in the €50,000+ price class.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">“Of course, we understand that it would be a hopeless task to try to offer such a service across the board, which is why Luxyauto.com distinguishes between exclusive offerings and traditional ones. In our opinion, cars in the luxury segment should be marketed in a graphically attractive environment with a solid presentation and professional graphic material.” In order to illustrate this point, Mr. Olausson picks out a range of advertising material from a number of industries – a travel advertisement with fantastic pictures of a holiday paradise in the Maldives, a property advertisement using images of a designer house on the waterfront taken from airy and attractive angles, and a credit card advertisement showing the portrait of a happy couple toasting with champagne glasses against the beautiful backdrop of a sunset. “As you can see, graphic material is of crucial importance, as we choose to take a closer look at advertisements that attract our attention visually.” According to Mr. Olausson, the principle is no different when it comes to the car industry. He points to three crucial issues that lead to successful sales: Does the car in the picture represent the buyer’s wishes? Does the car in the picture appear to justify its price? Is the car in the picture attractive enough to induce the buyer to contact the salesperson? “There is a good reason behind the car industry putting so much time and money into marketing and presenting new models and accessories. Consumers who intend to acquire capital goods or services with status always have higher expectations, as they take for granted that the exposure and service provided will be in line with the price and the product.” Taking this into account, the philosophy and structure of the Luxyauto.com marketplace seems well thought-out. Mr. Olausson has a point when he says that there is a considerable difference when one navigates amongst clear and well-managed graphic material.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em>The question is – why launch this service in times such as these?</em></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">“We know, from sources such as dealers within the car industry, that the customer group for more exclusive cars is not especially sensitive to economic cycles. The most important issue is to market oneself in the right way now when buyers gain access to a considerably greater choice of objects. In order to allow salespeople to reap the greatest benefit from the Luxyauto.com marketing initiative, we also supply a customer gallery so that dealers can integrate images in their own websites.” It is obvious that Mr. Olausson has a clear view of how he should manage and develop the business. If, for example, one takes a look at the Stockholm Porsche Center website (www.porsche-stockholm.se) and searches amongst second-hand cars in the Luxy.se gallery, one can quickly see the huge difference and the solid overall impression given by the superior presentation of objects.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Para decretar oficialmente as férias no nosso site, que volta em 5 de janeiro, vamos dar a tradicional recapitulada e falar de quem marcou 2009 no nosso esporte:</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-378" title="MONACO FIA AWARDS" src="http://mundoamotor.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2008-lewis.jpg?w=300" alt="MONACO FIA AWARDS" width="300" height="206" />F1: LEWIS HAMILTON. Não tem como falar. Campeão é campeão e vice é vice. O ano foi de Hamilton, o mais novo campeão do mundo na elite do mundo a motor em monopostos.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-379" title="2008-ricardo-mauricio" src="http://mundoamotor.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2008-ricardo-mauricio.jpg?w=234" alt="2008-ricardo-mauricio" width="234" height="300" />STOCK CAR BRASIL: RICARDO MAURICIO. Mais uma decisão apertada e emocionante neste ano e deu Ricardinho, merecidamente por ser o piloto mais completo nessa briga. Merecia um título já faz um bom tempo. Aguardamos agora um 2009 onde ele e Cacá estarão trocando de assentos&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-380" title="MONACO/" src="http://mundoamotor.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2008-loeb.jpg?w=300" alt="MONACO/" width="300" height="233" />WRC: LOEB, LOEB, LOEB, LOEB, LOEB. Falar o quê? Deveriam pendurar o macacão do sujeito e impedir que ele corra valendo pontos. Ou criar um campeonato para quem chegar em 2o. lugar&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-381" title="Spain MotoGP Motorcycling" src="http://mundoamotor.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2008-rossi.jpg?w=219" alt="Spain MotoGP Motorcycling" width="219" height="300" />MOTO GP: VALENTINO ROSSI. Muito bom ver o doutor de volta. Prova que ele é sim ponto fora da curva e tem muita lenha para queimar. Sabe como ninguém por os adversários sobre pressão. Que digam Gibernau e Stoner&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-382" title="83866318JH021_NASCAR_SPRINT" src="http://mundoamotor.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2008-jimmie.jpg?w=200" alt="83866318JH021_NASCAR_SPRINT" width="200" height="300" />NASCAR: JIMMIE JOHNSON. Fez história, perfeito. O melhor piloto do mundo em ovais.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-383" title="NASCAR Nationwide Banquet Auto Racing" src="http://mundoamotor.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2008-edwards.jpg?w=264" alt="NASCAR Nationwide Banquet Auto Racing" width="264" height="300" />Alguns outros méritos devem ser dados, como Scott Dixon na Indy e Carl Edwards na Nascar. Edwards acabou de receber um premio da TAG Heuer, por ser o melhor piloto do mundo de 2009 em estatísticas. Este premio compara todos os pilotos, em todas as categorias. E não vamos esquecer que ele deu um nó em Schumi no ROC. Promete muito para 2009&#8230;</p>
<p>Não vamos nos esquecer que fora do nosso mundo automotivo tivemos Michael Phelps. Tivemos a oportunidade de ver um esportista único, daqueles que iremos contas estórias para os netos.</p>

Não tem competidores que consigam amarrar suas chuteiras no WRC. E para completar bateu os melhores do mundo, se confirmando como o Campeão dos Campeões.</p>
<p>Finalizando agradeço à todos por terem acompanhado nosso site que tem apenas 3 meses de vida e já mais de 40 a 50 fiéis visitantes ao dia, o que não é pouco!!!!</p>
<p>Abraços à todos, boas festas e nos vemos em 2009!!!</p>
<p>VALEU!!!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-365" title="speed" src="http://mundoamotor.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/speed.gif" alt="speed" width="191" height="90" /></p>
<p>Como todo santo site no final de ano fazemos uma retrospectiva do que rolou no ano.</p>
<p>Sem ser muito chato, vou tentar apontar algumas coisas, fatos, pessoas, etc&#8230; enfim, que fizeram diferença para este esporte que tanto gostamos ou mesmo fora dele.</p>
<p>Minha primeira homenagem vai ao Canal Speed e sua cobertura na Nascar.</p>
<p>A cada ano que passa acompanhamos corrida a corrida, passo a passo, daquilo que está sendo a evolução do Speed no Brasil. Criticar é fácil, e locutores/comentaristas sempre estarão no centro das atenções pois não podem errar nunca (segundo os fanáticos). Vejo que Roberto Figueroa e Sergio Lago  fazem, de longe, o melhor trabalho para a Nascar na TV brasileira. Para alguns telespectadores pode ser dificil se adaptar ao jeito à vezes jocoso de suas transmissões, porém basta 1 ou 2 corridas para vc se sentir na verdade em casa. Eles trabalham muito perto do publico, dão feedback, interagem, tiram duvidas sejam elas dos iniciantes aos mais experientes.</p>
<p>Nota 10 para ambos.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Quem disse que o mundo parou nessas férias de nosso automobilismo? Embora pareça&#8230;</p>
<p>. Começa o Rali Dacar Argentina Chile. Um pouco inusitado, estranho até. Ainda não consegui digerir a mudança de rota do rali. Espero que ele recupere o charme e fica aqui minha torcida para a dupla Spinelli/Vivolo, que manda muito bem!</p>
<p>. Começa também o Mundial de Clubes da Fifa, oficialmente em sua 5a. edição. Temos Corinthians em 2000, São Paulo em 2005, Inter em 2006 e Milan em 2007. Agora é Manchester United vs a rapa. Na boa, é isso mesmo. Os red devils tem a obrigação de trazer essa para casa. Aliás, se der M.U. na cabeça fico feliz. Tenho uma simpatia por eles, quase que um segundo time na europa depois do meu Milan. E também, desde que Palmeiras, São Paulo, Boca e Chelsea não sejam campeões mundiais, o resto tá tudo bem&#8230;</p>
<p>. Ontem vi a nova camisa do tricolor do Morumbi. Na frente estava escrito 6-3-3 (alusão à 6 títulos nacionais, 3 libertadores e 3 mundiais) e atrás estavam as taças. Muito bonita a camisa. Mandei um email para o depto. de marketing do Milan para questionar se podiam fazer uma camisa daquelas. Recebi uma resposta dizendo que era inviável, por 2 motivos: na frente iriam ficar muito justos os números 17-7-4 e que eram muitas taças para por na parte de trás&#8230;</p>

Por mais nobre que possa ser uma festa desta para inclusive angariar fundos para as vítimas das enchentes em SC, o momento é totalmente inadequado para o evento. Não faz sentido. Não consigo imaginar uma torcida vibrando em Floripa sendo que o mundo está caindo à sua volta. E não falo de eventuais problemas de infraestrutura para prova, como água, luz, etc&#8230; falo de por a mão na cabeça e pensar um pouquinho.</p>

No caso da Nissan o tiro foi mais longe porque ela também já anunciou que não irá participar também do Salão de Chicago em fevereiro de 2009.<br />

<description><![CDATA[The LA Auto Show has been a ritual that I have enjoyed for 12 years now.  For the last 8 of those 12]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div style="padding-right:4px;"><span> <span>The LA Auto Show has been a ritual that I have enjoyed for 12 years now.  For the last 8 of those 12 years, this annual rite of passage has been enjoyed with the company of my brother in law, a car fanatic himself.</p>
<p>In preparing to go to the show this morning, Agent 001 e-mailed me a list of &#8220;must see&#8221; cars and items at the show.</p>
<p>The list did not go ignored, however a list of my own began to form as I watched the people at the show as much as I watched the cars themselves.</p>
<p>Although in no particular order or importance, here is the short list of questions I came away with in attending the LA Auto Show.</p>
<p>1.  Where do all the beautiful people (woman) come from that man display after display after display at the auto show?  Agent 001 would contend that they are all from Orange County, and while Orange County sure does have more than its fair share of good looking people, the vast majority of people I spoke with today who were working the show WEREN&#8217;T from Southern California.<br />
<img class="alignleft" src="http://shows.autospies.com/gallery/auto-show-photos.asp?imageId=71905&#38;galleryId=100" alt="" width="480" height="756" /></p>
<p>2.  In explaining the Hybrid Saturn Vue, the young lady working the carousel explained that the Tecktometer (I know the spelling is wrong, I am spelling what she was saying) had been replaced by an efficiency gauge.  She didn&#8217;t mis-pronounce the word tachometer, I stopped to listen, she repeatedly said Tecktometer.  Gee, and you wonder why the Big Three are in trouble.  The &#8220;eye candy&#8221; used to display the product wasn&#8217;t even using common automotive terms correctly, but I digress&#8230;</p>
<p>3.  Why do all Aston Martins look the same?  I said to my brother in law, &#8220;&#8230;you could buy the cheapest Aston (Vantage V8) and tell all your friends you spent $200k for it, and the majority wouldn&#8217;t know the difference.&#8221;  I don&#8217;t know about you, but I wouldn&#8217;t want my brand new DBS being confused with a lowly Vantage V8.  A pretty face perhaps, but one that has been done over, and over, and over again.<br />
<img class="alignright" src="http://shows.autospies.com/gallery/auto-show-photos.asp?imageId=70961&#38;galleryId=100" alt="" width="480" /></p>
<p>4.  In reference to item 1, all the beautiful people.  Since these folks are all employed by marketing companies, not the actual manufacturers, how does the job listing read for these jobs?  &#8220;WANTED:  People able to memorize corporate propaganda to spew forth on uninformed buying public.  NO UGLY OR FAT PEOPLE.  Must have perfect teeth.&#8221;  Yes, I know ugly people wouldn&#8217;t sell as many cars, but to have so many pretty faces in one location&#8230;<br />
<img class="alignleft" src="http://shows.autospies.com/gallery/auto-show-photos.asp?imageId=71269&#38;galleryId=100" alt="" width="480" /></p>
<p>5.  I asked the young lady representing Smart if it was true that you could actually be buried in your Smart car after it gets crushed in a freeway accident.  She smiled and told me that since the Smart was 13 feet long and 5&#8242;1&#8243; tall, it probably wouldn&#8217;t fit in a standard size grave which she explained to me is 4 foot by 7 foot by 6 feet deep.  This girl was sharp witted, she answered my smart ass question with such vigor never missing a beat as she took serious my silliness.</p>
<p>6.  You know you&#8217;ve arrived when you are invited into the &#8220;by invitation only&#8221; area of the super exotic cars like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Rolls Royce and Bentley.  I guess I hadn&#8217;t arrived yet, as I was looking at the Bentley Continental Flying Spur and the young lady manning the booth didn&#8217;t so much as look up from the copy of Vogue she was reading.  The funny thing is that while I was incognito today (like Clark Griswald in National Lampoon&#8217;s Vacation) with family, I could buy the Bentley if so desired.</p>
<p>7.  Where do I buy my wife a set of stockings like the ones worn by all the girls working the Volkswagen display?  Do the guys working for Volkswagen have to wear them under their slacks?<br />
<img class="alignright" src="http://shows.autospies.com/gallery/auto-show-photos.asp?imageId=71874&#38;galleryId=100" alt="" width="400" height="630" /></p>
<p>8.  If iDrive was such a bad idea, why has everyone including now Lexus copied the idea?  Maybe, just maybe BMW was onto something&#8230;<br />
<img class="alignleft" src="http://shows.autospies.com/gallery/auto-show-photos.asp?imageId=71730&#38;galleryId=100" alt="" width="800" height="563" /></p>
<p>9.  While we are on the subject of Lexus, is this really the best they could have come up with for the new RX?  It seems to me that the RX has visited the same plastic surgeon as all the Acura models.<br />
<img class="alignright" src="http://shows.autospies.com/gallery/auto-show-photos.asp?imageId=71738&#38;galleryId=100" alt="" width="480" /><br />
<img class="alignleft" src="http://shows.autospies.com/gallery/auto-show-photos.asp?imageId=71292&#38;galleryId=100" alt="" width="480" /></p>
<p>10.  If the show had been held in April of this year prior to $4.00 gas, would we have seen such a heavy emphasis on Hybrid and &#8220;green&#8221; technology?</p>
<p>11.  I love the design of the new Mustang, but where is the independent rear suspension?  Camaro and Challenger both have IRS.  Alan Mulally, if you are listening, YOU NEED TO PUT AN INDEPENDENT REAR SUSPENSION TO KEEP THE MUSTANG COMPETITIVE IN THIS SEGMENT, AND TO TRULY MAKE IT WORLD CLASS.  LIVE REAR AXLES ARE FOR TRUCKS.<br />
<img class="alignright" src="http://shows.autospies.com/gallery/auto-show-photos.asp?imageId=71624&#38;galleryId=100" alt="" width="480" /></p>
<p>12.  Why no Lexus IS350c, or IS-f coupe.  For such a great looking car, a more powerful engine is necessary to compete in this segment.<br />
<img class="alignleft" src="http://shows.autospies.com/gallery/auto-show-photos.asp?imageId=71708&#38;galleryId=100" alt="" width="480" /></p>
<p>Of course these are just observations made during the day today as I roamed the floor of the LA Auto Show.  Short of actually attending the show, the best way to experience the show would be to check out our extensive gallery that very accurately captures the essence of the show.</p>
<p><img class="alignright" src="http://shows.autospies.com/gallery/auto-show-photos.asp?imageId=71701&#38;galleryId=100" alt="" width="480" /></p>
<p>As I was heading back to my hotel tonight I saw a gas station here in Southern California with gas at $1.99 a gallon, at that price I would advise anyone within a 5 hour radius to make the drive to check out the LA Auto Show.  It is truly a visual buffet for the eyes and imagination.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://shows.autospies.com/gallery/auto-show-photos.asp?imageId=71359&#38;galleryId=100" alt="" width="800" height="563" /></p>
<p>If you had a chance to attend the show, check in below and share some of your observations.  I think it is fun to pick up on some of the subtle nuances that are part of the show.  I know there are a lot of things I missed, but hey &#8211; there is always next year.</p>
