beatiful Ladies at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show

The Geneva Motor Show is one of the biggest car shows in Europe with all the car manufacturers attending in order to show off and promote any new launch that is going to happen in the next year. Ford announced at the event that the Ford Kuga and Ford Mondeo will both have new engines later this year to improve performance. Ford introduced the Kuga late compared to other car manufacturers such as Land Rover, Toyota and Nissan. But even though the Kuga was late to the party it doesn't lack any of the features and charm of its rivals. In fact when Ford was designing the Kuga they probably researched the other models on the market to see what were the advantages and disadvantages of the 4x4 vehicles on the market. Ford has certainly got the style right with the Ford Kuga. In fact the stylish chassis is probably its best feature if you consider the price Ford is currently selling the 4x4 at. Its looks definitely play a part in why people love this car so much.

The technological features aren't as good as other models from other manufacturers but you probably wouldn't expect it to be considering a brand new Ford Kuga is priced at just £17,500. This is one of the cheaper 4x4s on the market which is stylish too. The Kuga is not only stylish but it is also very comfortable inside. The space might be a problem though with it feeling quite compact inside. Space is usually a problem with most 4x4 vehicles on the market, because of its robust build the interior is smaller than some estate cars for example.

There are many exotic super cars which are really so gorgeous so as to take the spotlight all through their debuts at the auto show. Apart from all these facts prototypes high quality equipped with the new equipment, technical breakthroughs, international partnerships, as well as political and social debates, were the chief points which were placed on the topmost position in the priority list for announcement at the exhibition. The show has been regarded, for the world's automakers, as a level playing field.

2011 The Chevrolet Volt will initially be released in California

After the first 40 miles a 4 cylinder gasoline/E85-powered engine generator will create on board electricity to a 53kw generator which will enable the Volt to travel a further 300 miles. The power from the generator is sent either to the batteries or the electric motor depending on how much the battery is charged and how much power is required for the car. There are many other features in the Chevrolet Volt as well such as liquid crystal element display, which is completely configurable by the driver along with a seven inch display for viewing vehicle information.

It has a touch screen with climate controls for information and entertainment. There is the provision for an optional navigation system with its own on board hard drive for storing music or whatever you like. There is also a standard Bluetooth device to be used with cell phones and Bluetooth and USB connectivity to enable fast music streaming. The Chevrolet Volt has been scheduled and is expected to be released in late 2010. The price of the car is estimated at around $40,000.

In an industry often chided for dragging its feet when it comes to saving the environment, GM has taken a stand to be the champion of the new electric car. Having failed once before in the 1990s with the EV-1, GM is taking a huge risk by promising an as-yet undeveloped car in just two years. GM needs to build the battery to power this revolutionary car. Between engineering and testing, this could constitute a lengthy and expensive process - and the possibility then exists that GM may not follow through on its promise.

In addition to the science of it all, there's the publicity. GM's name hasn't been inspiring trust and building confidence in the past decade. They've been slow to respond to a changing market and suffered through expensive strikes and internal problems. If this special project succeeds, it may be their ticket out of the hole they dug themselves. If it fails, well, at least they would have inspired their competitors to go out and build us a plug-in hybrid.

The Chevrolet Volt is generating a tremendous amount of press. Try this link to follow all the Volt news, see additional pictures, read updates on the Volt's price (recently bumped to $40,000), and eventually find the release date and availability data.

The Volt will initially be released in California, followed by New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Washington D.C., Michigan and Texas. 12 to 18 months later, nearly all of the 600 Chevy dealers nationwide should be selling the hybrid car, The Volt.
