BMW 335d

KPG professional spies, captured live at the BMW 335d will make their official debut for the U.S. market in autumn this year. According to experts, the presentation of the BMW 335d will coincide with the launch of the new BMW 3 Series, which will not be premiering many changes except for a BMW new bumper, some details in the design of the headlights, and the readiness of the iDrive interface recently presented BMW 7 Series model in 2009.

Unfortunately it is expected that the BMW 335d U.S. version loses some horsepower in relation to the European model, and their final placing in the 265 horses and 425 pound-feet of torque. The end result is anything but disappointing because it could reach 60 miles an acceleration from zero to take 6.2 seconds, using just diesel. The forecast that consumption will be 23 miles per gallon in the city and 33 miles per gallon on the road.

BMW naturally promote the entry of its diesel models to the U.S. market for the first time, through a marketing campaign that says "Advance Diesel with BluePerformance," which in Spanish would be "Advanced Diesel with Blue Performance." The blue is nothing less than the urea injected into the engine to reduce emissions of toxic gases.

2009 Honda City with a totally new style

The all-new Honda City has make its European debut at the Istanbul Motor Show in October 2008.

The compact sedan is a radical departure from the previous generation car, with a totally new exterior style, featuring some visual elements of the stylish Accord. The restyled exterior is joined by a new 1.4 i-VTEC engine, which gives the Honda City significantly more power and better performance.

The new engine, which is also shared with the new Honda Jazz is fitted with Honda’s acclaimed i-VTEC system, which provides excellent performance and flexibility, without compromising fuel economy or emissions. The new engine gives the Honda City 100PS, a healthy 17 PS increase over the previous model. This extra power helps the new Honda City complete the benchmark 0-100 km/h in just 11.8 seconds for the manual version, an improvement of 1.6 seconds. The automatic version hits 100 in 14.7 seconds, almost half a second quicker than before.

The manual transmission for Honda City is a modified version of the current gearbox, with carbon synchromesh for smoother changes, improved refinement and a new set of optimised gear ratios. The Automatic transmission is all-new and adds the option to shift gears with steering wheel mounted paddles for the first time. With a sport mode, improved shift logic and ratios the new transmission better compliments the new car’s more powerful engine.

The new Honda City is based on the platform of the award winning new Honda Jazz, and benefits from the many of the technologies seen in the new hatchback. The longer wheel base gives a significant improvement in interior space as well as the associated ride and handling benefits. Safety performance is also enhanced with the adoption of the ACE Body Structure (Advanced Compatibility Engineering), which better protects occupants of both cars in the event of a collision between vehicles of different heights.
