Of course DesignworksUSA rose to the challenge, coming up with an interior design that immediately reminds one of James Bond. "We studied the young, Russian billionaire clientele that would be the potential buying group of this aircraft," explained the...

When vehicles get restyled, most car fans and aficionados most likely have thoughts on these vehicles having new exterior parts or getting new features like having additional Extang RT covers as standard features. There are also people which may think of the restyled vehicle having a new type of engine that could give the vehicle a further boost in power. However, this is not all of the things that a vehicle can get when it goes through restyling or redesigning. One of the main parts of the vehicle that we often neglect is the interior. And most of today's vehicles have come with restyled and redesigned interiors that we may not notice much from the outside but we most certainly would be...

Taking my terrier for a walk is never a relaxing experience. It's go, go, go all the way, with no time to sit back and admire the scenery or even slow down for a second. Much like taking the Mazda3 MPS hot hatch for a spin, really. With a jaw-dropping 256bhp from a turbocharged 2.3-litre turbocharged four engine, there's an almost obscene amount of power to tap into for such a modest-sized five-door. And performance is equally as devastating - a lightning 6.1 seconds from standstill to 62mph, making this the quickest hatch around and a limited 155mph top speed that's comfortably more than double the legal limit. Yes, the Mazda3 MPS is very, very quick ad it also proves itself a compulsively...

Volkswagen has been selling wagons in the United States for over fifty years and is one of the most successful car companies in the world. If you can even set your mind back far enough before the introduction of the first Transporter or when people started to call it the Microbus, Volkswagen referred to it as the Volkswagen Station Wagon, plain and simple. That Volkswagen line went on for some time until the first Type IIIs burst on the scene. This ultimately paved the way for the Type IV, then the Dasher, to the Quantum and Fox wagons, and finally the Passat, which has been the leader in this area since 1990. The latest wagon that is released from the Volkswagen manufacturers is the SportWagen...

The Detroit Big Three CEOs earlier told a Senate-sponsored manufacturing forum that the government can do more to aid the struggling domestic auto industry. The executives called for more help on trade and health care policies. "While our industry has supported trade liberalization, we have seen a diminishing focus on manufacturing in United States trade policy," Ford President and CEO Alan Mulally said, according to a copy of his prepared remarks. "In recent years, there seems to have been a willingness in trade negotiations to overlook or even trade off manufacturing's interests for those of other sectors that are perceived as either sacred cows or the new frontier," Mulally said. Chrysler Group...

A mistake that many drivers make when filling their gas tank is to overfill it. In other words when the gas pump nozzle clicks off automatically,do you keep pumping trying to add as much more gas as you can? Do you add more gas after the shutoff to round out the dollar amount of the total. In either case this habit is most likely costing you money and is bad for the environment. In most areas, gas station pumps are equipped with vapor recovery systems that draw gas vapors back into their tanks to prevent those vapors from getting into the air and thus contributing to air pollution. If you top off your gas tank it can result in your paying for fuel that is fed back into the gas station's tanks...
