OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE

- Dr. Joachim Schmidt: “We will continue this positive trend, and we expect sales in the fourth quarter to be above last year’s level.”
- Record sales in China – Schmidt: “We expect Mercedes-Benz Cars to increase its sales in China by more than 50 percent in full-year 2009.”
- Mercedes-Benz USA posts best monthly result since the beginning of the year, with sales up by 21 percent in October
- E- and S-Class sedans maintain market leadership

Stuttgart, Germany, Nov 06, 2009 – In October, global sales were up at Mercedes-Benz for the first time this year. Mercedes-Benz was able to increase sales significantly in October by seven percent to 88,400 units (October 2008: 82,500. The smart brand sold 9,300 (October 2008: 11,300) units (minus 18 percent). With the delivery of 97,700 passenger cars (October 2008: 93,800), total sales at Mercedes-Benz Cars increased by four percent. The October sales increase was due to the E-Class and the new generation of the S-Class as well as to high growth rates in many regions such as North America and Asia/Pacific. Sales of Mercedes-Benz vehicles were also above last year’s level in Western Europe.

“We will continue this positive trend in the coming months, and we expect sales in the fourth quarter to be above the level of the same period of last year,” said Dr. Joachim Schmidt, Head of Sales and Marketing, Mercedes-Benz Cars. Contributing to this development will be the new E-Class and the new generation S-Class, as well as the ongoing strong growth rates in the Asia/Pacific region, particularly in China. By the end of September, Mercedes-Benz had already sold more vehicles in China than in all of last year. Says Schmidt: “Mercedes-Benz Cars will continue to grow at a dynamic rate in China, and we expect the increase for 2009 as a whole to amount to more than 50 percent.”

In October Mercedes-Benz once again set a sales record in China, with sales rising by 78 percent to 6,600 units (October 2008: 3,700). As a result, since the start of the year, Mercedes-Benz has been the fastest-growing premium brand in China. In October, Mercedes-Benz Cars also delivered more vehicles than ever before to the Asia/Pacific region as a whole, handing over 14,100 passenger vehicles to customers (October 2008: 10,500) for an increase of 34 percent. High growth rates were also posted in October in Australia (up 22 percent) and South Korea (up 63 percent).

In the United States, October was the best month of the year so far for Mercedes-Benz. Sales bucked the general market trend, rising by 21 percentto 18,200 units (October 2008: 15,000). This was the first time this year that sales were substantially higher than in 2008, and ensured that Mercedes-Benz remains the strongest German premium brand in the U.S. Contributing factors here included the E-Class, deliveries of which tripled to 6,100 units, and the GLK, which was once again the best-selling vehicle in its class in October, with deliveries of 1,800 units. Meanwhile, Mercedes-Benz posted another sales record in Canada in October, increasing customer deliveries by 28 percent to 2,200 passenger vehicles (October 2008: 1,700).

In the Western Europe region (not including Germany), Mercedes-Benz increased its sales by seven percent in October, thanks in particular to the high increases for the new E-Class. The brand enjoyed strong growth amounting to 55 percent in the UK, with a total of 5,800 units sold.

Sales of new E-Class continued to develop positively in the past month, with worldwide deliveries doubling in October to 17,100 units. Double-digit sales increases were registered in almost all markets. That made it once again the clear market leader in its segment. The company expects the launch of the new station wagon, which can be seen at dealerships starting on November 21, to give an additional positive boost to the E-Class family.

The new generation of the S-Class also got off to a successful start. Worldwide sales of the S-Class sedan were slightly above the previous year's level. Since the beginning of this year, the sedan has been the best-selling sedan in its segment. In China, which is now the biggest market for the S-Class, 1,100 luxury sedans were delivered to customers in October alone, which represents an increase of 12 percent. The sedan also sold very well in Germany, with an increase of 42 percent, and in Japan, where October sales increased by 13 percent. Mercedes-Benz sold 15,100 units of its SUVs worldwide (2008: 14,800), with an increase of two percent. The GLK, which was especially popular, enjoyed mainly double-digit growth rates in the Western European markets.

For 2010 the Legacy looks more aggressive and sporty. The headlights are angled more, the character lines create a more muscular look, along with bigger wheel arches. The Legacy has a more modern, mainstream, Japanese appearance. It will be more competitive in the midsize sedan segment, but it's aggressive styling wouldn't look at home in a forest carrying mountain bikes like the old Legacy did.

While the exterior doesn't give thoughts of the usual Subaru activities of hiking and kayaking, the interior gives impressions of a more mainstream midsize sedan at home in mall parking lots. Comfortably designed for the driver and passenger with easy to use controls, soft cream leather seats, and class leading passenger space. Steering wheel controls are standard on the 2.5i Limited are well laid out and easy for the driver to use. Subaru's shortcomings in quality with their use of hard plastic, flimsy door panels, and cheap wood trim left me disappointed, while the previous generation Legacy excelled in quality.

Subaru has used it's new Lineartronic CVT transmission in the new Legacy. It provides a very smooth drive with gearshifts that are as smooth as a hot knife through butter. The paddle shifters are possibly the easiest I've ever used for manual shifting and coupled with the CVT provide a smooth ride. The base 2.5 liter engine feels very underpowered. Subaru's have been known to have a tighter suspension and this Legacy is completely different. The drive feels more like an everyday sedan focused more on driver comfort than a Subaru has ever been. Everyday driving is more polished and tranquilizing than the previous generation Legacy. I took the Legacy through some winding country roads where Subarus usually shine, and was very surprised. Clumsiness and body roll plagued the Legacy like an old woman without her walker. The 2.5 liter 170 hp engine made the Legacy feel underpowered and heavy. The other two optional 256 or 265 hp engines would make the Legacy feel more capable for everyday driving. Even with Subaru's all wheel drive system it felt as though it lacked Subaru's willingness to go off road, instead focusing on a smooth and comfortable drive for those city folk.

The redesigned Legacy is a Subaru aimed more towards a mainstream market. It's comfortable ride and cabin make for a pleasing highway and city drive. Aggressive styling coupled with it's soft ride may scare away some loyal Subaru owners and attract a different buyer. The Legacy lacks what makes Subaru a Subaru. It has evolved into a mainstream car, one that won't be found driving through dirt trails or going on camping trips, instead will be at home on highways and city streets.

Hi Everyone!

I don’t get paid till this friday, so i need somebody to lend me some money until friday so i can buy this car, if you can front £2m for me i will be a very happy boy.

It’s that time of year when every car imaginable gets an award, apparently for simply existing in some cases.

To celebrate, ScuttleShake has put together a list of models it’s looking forward to for 2010 – and there may be a few surprises.

Buick Superlative

A car widely expected to be slightly better than Buick’s previous offerings in the US executive segment.

“Bob Lutz personally kicked the asses of 18 technicians and engineers until we reached that crucial ’slightly better’ stage with the Superlative,” confirmed a GM insider.

“This is guaranteed to put BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Lexus, Infiniti and Jaguar firmly in their place,” offered the insider with a watery smile.

Dodge Orgasm

A rebadged Fiat Stilo equipped with a 1.4 MultiJet engine, scheduled to hit the US market next year.

“It doesn’t have the power to pull the skin off a custard,” laughed a Fiat insider.

Hyundai i1

Reportedly a tenth of the size of the i10, the i1 will house space for one small child (driver) and a mini soft drink can in a handy binnacle.

Prices start at £99. Standard equipment includes door, seat and roof.

BMW M5 GT Convertible

BMW says its M5 hatchback-saloon-estate has taken 35 years to discover.

“Until recently car designers knew there was another niche out there, somewhere. Perhaps on the very borders of human perception.”

So says a BMW insider who has worked on the so-called Niche Theory problem with BMW since 1977.

“We confidently expect the 34 other people in the world who have also identified in this niche to love the new M5 GT Convertible,” confirmed the wild-haired spokesman

Lamborghini I Will Kill You

“We thought about all those Lamborghini names of old, named after killer bulls, and realised we weren’t being explicit enough,” said a Saint Agata spokesman.

“We don’t want to people to be in any doubt about our supercars,” continued the exec.

“If you buy one of our cars there’s a very real chance you’ll die in a twisted heap of molten metal.

Lamborghini says it expects the I Will Kill You to be its biggest seller yet.

Audi Fuck You Porsche

Audi said it sees no problems with competing for sales with stablemate Porsche, when questioned on the positioning of the new Fuck You Porsche.

Porsche Large Margin

Porsche says its Large Margin estate car will rival the Skoda Fabia SW for internal load space and will cost £89,000.

“Who cares what you think?” said a Porsche insider when we quizzed the manufacturer on the relevance of the vehicle.

“We know from experience that there are some people stupid enough to buy anything with a Porsche badge on it.

“What’s more we have their contact details,” concluded the spokesman.

Aston Martin Metro

Reportedly a result of a chance meeting between Ulrich Bez and Barry Scunthorpe, designer of the original Austin Metro, in a service station near Gaydon, the Aston Metro will be offered for £45,000 when it goes on sale next year.

The Aston Metro features an Austin/Rover K-Series engine, bespoke leather-trimmed steering wheel and Aston badging.

“Aston Martin has one of the finest reputations in the world,” laughed Bez in a Q&A. “And I’m determined to ruin it.”

Maybach New Money

“New mock Tudor mansions, 60-inch widescreen tellies, plaster doric columns, heated outdoor swimming pools. These are the things that Maybach customers know ooze sheer class.”

That’s the claim of a Maybach spokesman ScuttleShake spoke to on the new New Money model.

Clad in a leopard-skin thong and wielding a pimp’s cane, the spokesman continued to pour praise on the new Maybach model while being fellated by a boa-wearing prostitute.

Kia Suck>cee’d:-)

U.S. criticizes Toyota for 'misleading' (LYING) public in recall

Washington — The government sharply criticized Toyota Motor Corp. Wednesday for its
“inaccurate and misleading”
suggestion that sudden acceleration in some vehicles bound for recall may be due only to improperly fitting floor mats.

The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration's criticism of Toyota's statement is the latest hit to the automaker's reputation from what will be the largest safety recall in its history: 3.8 million vehicles.

NHTSA said Toyota inaccurately suggested in a press release this week that the agency had concluded “that no defect exists in vehicles in which the driver's floor mat is compatible with the vehicle and properly secured,” the agency said in a statement.

“It was never our intention to mislead or provide inaccurate information (BS) . Toyota agrees with NHTSA's position that the removal of the floor mats is an interim measure and that further vehicle-based action is required,” said Toyota spokesman Brian Lyons.

“We are in the process of developing vehicle-based remedies to help avoid the potential for an unsecured or incompatible floor mat to trap the accelerator pedal.”

On Monday, Toyota refuted suggestions that other defects might be causing the accidental acceleration, and pointed to the government's decision not to investigate a consumer complaint.

Bob Carter, general manager of the Toyota-brand division of Toyota Motor Sales USA, told reporters there is “absolutely no evidence” pointing to a defect other than poor-fitting floor mats.

Sean Kane, president of Massachusetts-based Safety Research & Strategies, said Toyota was “waving the agency's denial of the latest petition for a defect investigation like a victory banner.”

While NHTSA hasn't found a vehicle-based defect that is causing unwanted acceleration, “it doesn't mean there isn't one,” he said. “It just means that the agency hasn't found it.”

NHTSA says removing the recalled floor mats is the most immediate way to address the safety risk.

“But it is simply an interim measure.
This remedy does not correct the underlying defect in the vehicles involving the potential for entrapment of the accelerator by floor mats, which is related to accelerator and floor pan design,” the agency said.

Toyota’s Lexus recently unveiled its highly anticipated and first-ever LFA Supercar at the Tokyo Motor Show.

Lexus announced that their luxury LFA Supercar will go into production this December. Orders are now being taken at http://www.lexus.com/LFA/.

The launch of the LFA high-performance supercar, illustrates a strategic move by Lexus as it enters the exotic sports car market alongside such legendary names as Ferrari, Lamborghini and Aston Martin.

The LFA will offer a bold design structure with an intensely powerful engine that is unlike any other Lexus vehicle on the road today. Lexus is redefining the supercar for the 21st century.

The first Supercar by Lexus redefines the segment with ultimate performance, featuring:
• 4.8L V10 Engine Generates 552 Horsepower for Powerful Rear-Wheel Drive
• Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer Helps Provide a Light and Strong Structure

The Lexus LFA supercar will be on display for the first time in North America at two back-to-back premier venues – the 2009 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) trade show in Las Vegas this November and the 2009 Los Angeles Auto Show in December.

In 2010, Lexus will show the LFA Supercar at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Chicago Auto Show, Dallas Auto Show and New York International Auto Show.

As the first Lexus supercar, the LFA serves as the flagship for the F portfolio of Lexus performance models and redefines the supercar for the 21st century. The Lexus F brand complements the core Lexus DNA by emphasizing serious performance. The LFA was carefully developed from a blank canvas by a small and dedicated team of hand-picked engineers that pushed every possible dynamic boundary.

“The development of the LFA was unlike any other Lexus,” said Mark Templin, Lexus division group vice president and general manager. “Minute details were engineered to provide an engaging and serious supercar that delivers impressive performance on and off the race track. Only 500 will ever be built worldwide, and each will be assembled to customer order, offering a once-in-a-lifetime chance to be part of a small, exclusive group of individuals.”

Courtesy of: Lexus

All 500 LFA supercars will be hand-assembled by skilled technicians in the “Lexus LFA Works” at the Motomachi Plant in Toyota City at a rate of no more than 20 per month.

The rear-wheel drive LFA is dynamically styled and powered by a sophisticated new high-revving 9,000 rpm (redline) 4.8-liter V10 engine that generates 552 hp and 354 lb.-ft. of torque for adrenaline-fuelled 202- mph performance. This specially-developed powerplant is paired with a unique six-speed Automated Sequential Gearbox (ASG) with blazing-quick paddle-activated shifts for ultimate driver control.

Linked by a rigid torque tube for excellent drivetrain integrity, the ASG is located in a transaxle layout over the rear axle for an optimal 48:52 front-to-rear weight distribution. Motorsport-developed lightweight aluminum alloy suspension components are complemented by Carbon Ceramic Material (CCM) brake discs and an innovative electrically assisted rack and pinion steering system.

Lightweight, powerful and balanced, the LFA features advanced Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) construction for its chassis and much of its bodywork to deliver a light, incredibly strong and impact-resistant structure. Rather than outsource this sophisticated materials technology, the LFA team took the radical step of developing its own CFRP processes internally for ultimate quality control and to make a sound engineering investment in the future.

The LFA’s sporty styling is distinguished by coherent lines that flow from roof to sill in a seamless convex to concave line for sophisticated aerodynamics. Its front-mid engine layout, long wheelbase, short overhangs, and snug, low-slung cabin identify it as a supercar.

CFRP also gave the LFA’s designers a far higher degree of design freedom, allowing them to create shapes, curves and edges that would have been impossible with metal. For example, the sharp trailing edges at the rear of the LFA that help provide superlative aerodynamics would not have been possible had traditional metal been used for the bodywork.

A dramatic low-slung cockpit has been intelligently designed and hand-assembled with the finest materials to reflect the car’s driver-centric dynamics. The intimate two-seat cabin has been conceived at every stage – ergonomics, acoustics, materials, comfort, versatility and visibility levels have all been painstakingly engineered – to put the driver at the center of the driving experience.

Production of the LFA supercar will begin in December 2010 with deliveries continuing for the following 24 months.

Consumers may contact the Lexus LFA Information Center at 866-LFA-4794 to express interest, or visit www.Lexus-LFA.com for more information.

Can Martha Stewart Ever Vote Again?

When and whether federal inmate No. 55170-054, Martha Stewart, ever votes again depends on which of her homes she claims as her primary residence after release from the federal correctional facility. Stewart owns several homes, one each in Connecticut, New York and Maine.

The Fourteenth Amendment grants power to the individual states to determine whether to disenfranchise its citizens “for participating in rebellion, or other crime.” States typically interpret felonies to belong to the nebulous category, “other crimes.”

Most people assume that all felons forfeit the right to vote for life, but only 37 states deny the right to vote to convicted felons who have paid their debt to society. Currently, 48 states and the District of Columbia deny incarcerated felons the right to vote, Maine and Vermont being the only exceptions.

Residency's Role in Reestablishing the Right to Vote

Is it the residence in New York, Connecticut or Maine that Stewart calls home? One of those must serve as her primary residence at any given time, but that has proven unclear in the past, especially to Stewart. In 1991, she told New York authorities that the Westbury, CT residence was her primary residence, claiming that her East Hampton, NY home was uninhabitable. In fact, one of those recitations of the facts took place under oath. In the Christmas issue of her magazine, she must have been confused, because she referred to the uninhabitable East Hampton residence as home. Perhaps the heart of the inconsistency lies in the definition of the word “uninhabitable,” or perhaps East Hampton sells more magazines than Connecticut, but this editorial oversight cost Stewart dearly-in excess of $200,000 in back New York state income taxes, fines, and interest.

If Stewart claims Maine as her primary residence, not only would she be allowed to vote as a convicted felon after serving her sentence, but she would also be allowed to vote by absentee ballot while serving her prison sentence in whatever federal correctional facility Stewart will temporarily call home sweet home. Since Stewart has never claimed Maine as her primary residence either informally or under oath, it's unlikely that she will be the target of any get-out-the-felon-vote initiatives.

If Stewart decided to inhabit her Connecticut farmhouse for 183 or more days of any given year, then she would still be able to vote upon completion of her sentence. Connecticut does not automatically reinstate the right to vote for discharged prisoners. Instead, the felon bears the burden of proof that the sentence has been fully discharged. In addition, the felon must satisfy all fines and penalties levied in connection with the conviction. Until submitting satisfactory written proof to the office of the Registrar of Voters, convicted Connecticut felons cannot vote.

Given that that Stewart plans to serve out the additional five months of her sentence at her Bedford, NY estate, it is likely that she would meet the residency requirement to vote in the state of New York. If Stewart claims her current Bedford, NY estate as her primary residence, her disenfranchisement would end automatically at the conclusion of her sentence or parole, whichever comes first. No further action would be required on Stewart's part.

Regardless of her final destination after confinement, she need only comply with state regulations in whichever state she will call home to reclaim this all-important civil right. Since Stewart leaves little to chance, one wonders how 100% of her homes happen to be located in states that allow convicted felons to vote. Was this an entry on her real estate checklist, falling somewhere between rich, fertile land and rich, old-money neighbors?

… sau alt motiv pentru care sunt “anti-patriot“.

Bai nene, nu ca vreau eu sa fiu mai cu mot, dar da-o in pula mea de treaba. Care sunt cele 3 lucruri care ii vin in minte unui strain atunci cand il intrebi de Romania? Hagi, Dracula si … cacat. Nici macar eu nu pot sa ma gandesc la 3.

Vreau sa-mi placa tara mea, ar fi mai simplu.Cand te intreaba oamenii: “Nu vrei sa pleci si tu din tara?”, ar fi mai comod sa le zic ca nu. Munte ? Este. Mare? Este. Pizdi? Avem. Si totusi motivele pentru care sa stai aici sunt foarte putine, irelevante sau prezinta o forma fara fond.

Acum sincer, suntem pe locul 36 in lista FIFA si ne intrec tari ca Honduras si Bulgaria. Dracu’ stie unde si cu ce se ocupa Honduras si despre bulgari… nu pot decat sa le transmit un calduros muie, cu aroma de paprika.

In orice caz, sa vorbim acum despre fotbal. In esenta e un sport foarte placut de urmarit, dar modul care se desfasoara in Romania este deplorabil, un spectacol de 2 lei, cu jucatori betivi, antrenori care il au ca idol pe Angelo Niculescu si patroni, mai adanc infiltrati in mentalul colectiv, decat elemente cu adevarat relevante pentru fotbal.

Voi stiti cine e patron la Barcelona? Daca isi repara Maybachul cu ranga? Nu. Dar nici macar nu vrem sa stim. Jocul in sine e singurul lucru important. La noi fotbal = curve ( a se citi Andreea Tonciu ) care au fost cu jumatate din loturile echipelor de divizia A, neveste de fotbalisti, nefutute, care sufera de mania persecutiei, Borcea, Becali si Copos fiecare cu probleme de sanatate cauzate de stressul fotbalistic si cam tot in afara de jocul respectiv cu mingea, care de 15 ani nu a mai dat niciun fel de rezultat.

Duminica am vazut exact cum sta treaba. Pe Eurosport era un meci de juniori in timp ce pe Eurosport 2 era Chelsea – Manchester. WTF? Da, coaie, pentru ei e mai important un meci de tineret decat derbyul din campionatul englez. La noi cand joaca nationala de tineret (care din motive care imi scapa, se pare ca are ceva rezultate) dai fara sa vrei peste meci, de cele mai multe ori pe TVR2.

Si apoi m-a lovit , dupa o lunga perioada in care nu am vazut niciun joc, era meciul vietii mele, live, din Liga I Frutti Fresh, Dinamo – Rapid. Nu stiu cum sa va spun, ritmul e mai alert in videoclipurile Corinei Chiriac. Centrarile erau prin spatele portii, mingile sareau din ei ca din coltul mesei. Aveam senzatia ca au delay pshihic : cand era nevoie de o floricica , o pasau si cand te asteptai sa vezi o executie pragmatica, incercau artificii tehnice. Mi se pare ca golurile s-au dat din greseala. Eforturile adevarate se terminau cu cine stie ce faza-petarda si golurile apareau din senin, de asa natura ca nici lor nu le venea sa creada ce se intampla.

In concluzie, asta e tara in care toata lumea si-a bagat pula. Fiecare joaca pentru el. Dracula nu mai e decat o gluma proasta pentru straini, Hagi s-a retras de prea mult timp, sarmale face toata lumea, Dacia e o masina de cacat, oricum ai da-o si toate locurile frumoase din tara sunt la fel de bine amenajate ca in Cidade de Deus.

Hai acum, iubiti-va tara si mergeti la vot. Sa traiti bine!

LE : Care e, in viziunea ta, al treilea element relevant pentru un strain, atunci cand vine vorba de Romania?

A montadora alemã Mercedes-Benz Cars aumentou em outubro as vendas, pela primeira vez este ano, em 4,1% frente ao mesmo mês de 2008, para 97,7 mil unidades.

A Mercedes-Benz Cars, filial da Daimler, explicou hoje que o aumento das vendas de outubro se deveu à Classe E, a nova geração da Classe S, assim como às altas taxas de crescimento em muitas regiões como América do Norte e Pacífico.

O diretor de Vendas e de Marketing de Mercedes-Benz Cars, Joachim Schmidt, previu que esta tendência positiva continuará nos próximos meses e disse esperar que as vendas superem no quarto trimestre o nível do mesmo período do ano passado.

A Mercedes-Benz Cars, que agrupa as marcas Mercedes-Benz, Smart, Maybach e AMG, informou que, no entanto, acumula uma queda das vendas de 14% no ano.

Das Entwicklungsministerium ist nun in liberaler Hand. Das lässt auf einen neuen Ansatz in der Entwicklungspolitik hoffen, ist es doch einer der Grundgedanken des Liberalismus, dass Anreize geschaffen werden müssen. Durch die bisherige Politik des stumpfen Überweisens von enormen Geldbeträgen wurden jedoch keine Anreize zur eigenverantwortlichen Lebensgestaltung, sondern Abhängigkeiten geschaffen. Beeindruckend am Beispiel Ghanas demonstriert, dass 1957, dem Jahr seiner Unabhängigkeit, schuldenfrei und mit einem Pro-Kopf-Einkommen so hoch wie dem von Spanien an sich rosige Zukunftsperspektiven hatte. Heute liegt das Verhältnis des Pro-Kopf-Einkommens bei knapp 35:1 – für Spanien.

Während sich Entwicklungsminister Niebel mutig gegen weitere Hilfen für China stellt und damit lang überfällige Korrekturen vornimmt, ist sein Standpunkt was Afrika angeht leider noch nicht klar. Die Frage sollte jedoch erlaubt sein, weshalb rohstoffreichen Ländern wie Nigeria, Sudan, Niger, Guinea, Sambia oder Angola Gelder zufließen sollten. Es kann kaum in unserem Sinne sein, dass der Herrscher Swasilands mit einem Maybach durch seinen 1,2 Millionen Einwohner Staat fährt (während Sarkozy in einem lächerlichen Peugeot 607 oder Renault vel Satis sitzt).

Es wird Zeit sich von der Schuld zu befreien und die seit nunmehr fast 60 Jahren praktizierte Politik des stumpfen Wiedergutmachens durch Geldleistungen endlich zu beenden. Die asiatischen Länder haben gezeigt, dass sie (fast) ohne Entwicklungshilfe bestens vorankommen. Afrika wird es uns danken, indem es einen wahrscheinlich schwierigen, aber auch nachhaltigen Weg zu eigenständig erarbeitetem Wohlstand findet. China hat uns in dieser Hinsicht einiges Voraus, dort treibt man ganz normalen Handel mit Afrika und erste positive Beispiele werden sichtbar.

Here’s a very interesting article on celebrity endorsement by carmakers from MotorTorque (UK specific):

There’s a bit of a hierarchy when it comes to which celebs get which cars from manufacturers.

Although its never clear just what incentives there are for a ’sleb to be pictured next to a shiny new car, it’s clear that there’s generally more to it than a quick snap as the celebrity in question picks up his or her latest drive.

Samuel L Jackson got a brand new Maybach 57, which though vulgar is an extremely valuable piece of kit.

A couple of years ago, down the road from Dagenham and on the verge of making it into the England cricket team, Essex players Alistair Cook and Ravi Bopara got a Focus ST each. Not bad, but no Maybach.

Take That got aVW Caravelle; Spandau Ballet a Ford S-Max each; while From The Jam had to cram into a Kia Sedona.

Bluntly, the more important you are, the better car you get.

Many manufacturers appoint brand ambassadors to drive their cars and take part in certain marketing events, in exchange for a shiny new set of wheels.

Seat has – or had – Duncan James, otherwise known as the bloke from Blue who’s now on that awful school musical show. He bagged a Leon Cupra from Seat. Here’s how we reported the news a couple of years ago:

James goes on to describe the Leon Cupra as ‘very cool’, which he ‘really enjoys driving’ before concluding ‘I love it!’

Meanwhile Mercedes has – or had – Wayne Rooney, who took delivery of a CL63 AMG.

This actually caused a bit of a stink from snobs who worried that the swarthy scouser may not exactly be a direct fit for Merc’s brand image. Here’s what Peter York reckoned:

“Ordinarily you’d expect Mercedes to choose someone aspirational and classy to advertise its cars, and it’s fair to say Wayne Rooney doesn’t fit that category, said cultural commentator Peter York said.

“It’s extremely strange. You have to ask who chose him? Was it someone who has misunderstood his image or was it perhaps a calculated move to ensure people talked about it?

“It’s possible it will backfire and put off traditional Mercedes customers – but perhaps their choice of Rooney reflects the fact that the kind of people prepared to spend a fortune on a smart car nowadays are not particularly smart people.”

So, manufacturers have to be careful over who they work with. Jordan, for example, is unlikely to be endorsing a Rolls-Royce Ghost any time soon. Nor do we expect to see Brian Sewell hooning around Millbrook in an Evo X, though we’d like to.

Fiat doesn’t seem too worried about who it associates itself recently, with a string of celeb endorsements from the likes of Angela Griffin, Elle MacPherson and now Tom Chambers (some bloke out of Waterloo Road and Strictly Come Dancing).

All are photogenic, mainstream and inoffensive. Here’s Fiat on the latest tie-up:

Actor and reigning Strictly Come Dancing champion Tom Chambers celebrated his return to television this week by collecting a new Fiat 500C.

The actor has been driving a 500 hatchback – recently voted Best Supermini in What Car? magazine’s Reader Awards 2009 – since last Christmas, but planned to swop into a 500C after the car’s UK launch in July this year. Tom and his wife Clare also own an early Fiat 500.

“As an actor, my work takes me to locations all over the country and it’s really important to have a car that can take me there comfortably, reliably and certainly economically. And it helps that it’s a stylish little number too!”

So, it’s not for us to say where Tom may find himself on the auto endorsement scale, and that’s not to decry the 500C or Chambers – it’s just a recognition that some cars, and some celebs, are grander than others.

And speaking of…OPEN SESAME!

A gorgeous fall Sunday was the setting for the 1st Alpine Invitational Classic Car Show on Sunday, October 25th, held to support the Education Foundation of Alpine.  Sponsored by Benzel Busch Mercedes Benz and staffed  by volunteers from our Friedberg Properties Alpine Office, guests were also treated to a tour of the famous 13,000 square foot Frick Mansion built in the 40’s.   

On display were exotic cars of all types but among the favorites were cars by Ferrari, Lamborghini and Maserati plus the Mercedes Benz Maybach, Porsche  356 and, of course, American muscle cars such as a 59 Corvette and Ford GT40.  Friedberg Properties Alpine Office was there in force acting as greeters and guides – even Marlyn Friedberg helped out as a guide and…

supervising the Friedberg Properties coffee and refreshment stand.  Auto enthusiasts and exotic car lovers were out in force – the car show was a great success raising a good sum to benefit the Alpine school district.  People who stopped by were excited about the car show and were all looking forward to coming again next year.   If you want to be put on the mailing list for next year’s show, just call our Alpine Office at 201-768-6868.

Guten Tag liebe Leser und Innen!

Gerade eben fand ich das hier im Netz:

Der normale MaJa- Aktuell Leser fragt sich natürlich jetzt: Wer ist dieser Auto-Klaus?…

…Was macht er in Berlin und was hat er mit Luxuskarossen zu tun?

Hat Klaus vielleicht einen Gebrauchtwagenverkauf mit mehreren Filialen, aber die größte ist in Berlin? Und kaufen die Leute dort vielleicht eher mal einen Volkswagen 181 Astra anstatt einem Maybach?

Oder ist Klaus ein ein leidenschaftlicher Autosammler aus Berlin der Schrotthaufen mehr mag als Luxuskarossen?

Oder ist das alles nur eine Erfindung der Redaktion und der Auto-Klaus existiert gar nicht?

Vielleicht ist er böse?

Ich hab Angst.

Vor Auto-Klaus.

O grupo Daimler anunciou, na última quinta-feira (22), a ampliação da fábrica da Mercedes-Benz em Rastatt, na Alemanha, onde será produzida a nova geração dos modelos Classe A e Classe B. Para isso, foram investidos 600 milhões de euros (US$ 895,9 milhões) na planta. De acordo com a Daimler, as expansões das fábricas na Alemanha, previstas para terminarem em 2010, exigirão investimentos de 3 bilhões de euros.

Para reforçar a produção dos carros de entrada da Mercedes-Benz, o grupo decidiu investir na construção de uma fábrica na Hungria, que ficará pronta em 2012 e terá capacidade para produzir 100 mil unidades. O anúncio da nova unidade foi feito na última quinta-feira (16). O investimento chega a 800 milhões de euros.

A montadora alemã Daimler anunciou nesta segunda-feira (19) que fechou o terceiro trimestre com um lucro antes de juros e impostos de 470 milhões de euros. O resultado ficou acima do previsto pelos analistas, de 150 milhões de euros. Na comparação com o mesmo período do ano passado, quando acumulou 648 milhões de euros, a empresa teve perda de 38% no lucro. A receita da empresa somou 19,3 bilhões de euros, valor abaixo dos 23,8 bilhões de euros registrados no terceiro trimestre de 2008, devido principalmente à queda de 16% na venda dos carros Mercedes-Benz.

Segundo o comunicado da companhia, a unidade total da Mercedes-Benz, que inclui as marcas Mercedes-Benz, a Smart e a Maybach, registrou prejuízo de 355 milhões de euros no período. Já na unidade de caminhões, a Daimler registrou prejuízo de 127 milhões de euros. Por outro lado, o segmento de vans obteve lucros de 1 milhão de euros.

O desempenho da Mercedes-Benz força o grupo a investir nos carros compactos da marca (o caso do Classe C e do Classe B) para, assim, conquistar mais clientes.

Whenever I try and get into something I’m interested in, I always get waaaayy ahead of myself. I spent the last 1/2 hour looking at the WordPress software, how to use it, what server I would use to host it, and even the domain. Now of the easy servers too use I think………..

You don’t care, anyway, My favourite car changes all the time, one minute it could be a brand-new super luxurious Maybach (for the record very rarely are there “new” Maybachs) and the next it could be a gorgeous Ferrari……. which it is……. at least at the time of typing, heck by the time you read this, chances are I’ll have moved on to something else.

The car in question is the new 458 Italia which I saw moving for the first time in this video. My favourite touch is the little intakes (at least I think that’s what they are) beside the headlights, The car is a work of art.  <——– Here, the period should actually be pronounced

В скором времени компания Maybach, являющаяся подразделением концерна DaimlerChrysler AG, может прекратить свое существование. Об этом на автосалоне во Франкфурте заявил директор концерна Дитер Цетше.

По словам Цетше, всему виной снижение потребительского спроса на автомобили повышенной комфортности, вызванное мировым экономическим кризисом. Из-за того, что все больше и больше покупателей предпочитают более скромные и менее роскошные машины, продажи Maybach заметно снижаются, добавил глава концерна.

Впрочем, пока это – не более чем разговоры, отмечает издание Top Speed. Однако когда руководитель такого уровня начинает задумываться о подобных вещах и высказывать свои мысли в присутствии репортеров, ничего хорошего компании это сулить не может.

Ausgezeichnete Glaskunst bei der handgewandt’09 Heilbronn

Das älteste Glasgefäß ist ein Kelch, der den Namen eines ägyptischen Pharaos trägt und um 1450 v. Chr. entstand. Auch die Römer produzierten Glasbehälter, da sie im Gegensatz zu Gefäßen aus Ton, Holz, Metall oder Leder absolut geschmacksneutral sind. Glas hat bis heute nichts von seiner Faszination verloren. Das zeigt die Heilbronner Verkaufsmesse für angewandte Kunst, handgewandt’09, die vom 9. bis 11. Oktober in der Innovationsfabrik drei Künstler vorstellt, die aus dem besonderen Werkstoff Gebrauchsgegenstände und Kunstobjekte unterschiedlichster Art gewinnen.

Eintauchen in die Welt des Glases ist die Devise von Cornelius Réer aus Nürnberg. „Glas hat seine eigenen Gesetzmäßigkeiten“ sagt der erfahrene Hohl- und Kelchglasmacher, der sich nach Jahren in Schweden, England und Frankreich wieder in Deutschland niedergelassen hat. Gute Funktion in Verbindung mit einer entschlossenen Formensprache und subtile Farbgebung begeistern Kunden wie Museen, darunter das Ruppertinum Salzburg und das Rosenthal Studiohaus Hamburg. Seine Trinkgläser und Becher schmiegen sich nahtlos in die Hand, Vasen und Schalen sind von erlesener Schönheit, bei den Karaffen mit ovaler Öffnung geht kein Tropfen daneben. Einzigartig sind seine Mörser für Gewürze und die Serie doppelwandiger Schalen „Dot“.

Alkie Osterland aus Schwäbisch Gmünd bringt Schmuckstücke und Skulpturen aus massivem Glas mit. Sie schätzt das Material „wegen seiner zahlreichen, auch widersprüchlichen Eigenschaften. Es ist transparent, flüssig, weich, fließend, spröde, empfindlich, starr, neutral, alltäglich, bunt, zart, schwerelos, reflektierend, massig, scharfkantig, erdig wie Keramik und leicht“.

Michael Schwarzmüller ist berühmt für Präzisionstechnik. Glasflakons aus seiner Karlsruher Werkstatt zieren die Beduftungsanlage des neuen Maybach-Zeppelin. Aktuell arbeitet er an Glaskreationen, die in Kooperation mit Köchen für spezielle Gerichte entwickelt werden. Bei Schwarzmüller steht das Spiel mit der Optik im Mittelpunkt: „Die Funktion ist mir dabei ebenso wichtig wie die Ästhetik“ so der Glasapparatebläser, der in diesem Jahr den Hessischen Staatspreis für das Deutsche Kunsthandwerk erhalten hat und zur handgewandt’09 edle Glasgefäße und Schmuck mitbringt.

Info: handgewandt’09, die Verkaufsausstellung für Angewandte Kunst findet vom 9. bis 11. Oktober in der Innovationsfabrik Heilbronn, Weipertstraße 8-10 statt. Die Eröffnung ist am 9. Oktober um 19 Uhr, weitere Öffnungszeiten sind jeweils von 11 bis 18 Uhr.
