Datsun Brand to Sell Cars in South Africa as Well Starting from 2014 First Teaser Rendering
At a press conference at Nissans Yokohama plant on Monday, the Japanese carmaker announced that the re-born Datsun Brand is set to return to South Africa, with the first passenger car to be launched onto the market at the end of 2014.
The announcement follows a global decision in 2010 to re-introduce the Datsun brand as part of the Japanese companys "Nissan Power 88" mid-term plan, which calls for an 8 percent global market share and 8 percent operating profit by fiscal year 2016.
Currently, Datsun sales are planned for four major markets, including South Africa, India, Indonesia and Russia, during the course of 2014.
"Following Infinitis launch last year, we are delighted that South Africa is also a destination of choice for Datsun vehicles," commented Mike Whitfield, managing director of Nissan South Africa (NSA).
"Datsun enjoyed a proud heritage in the country after the Bluebird made its debut at the Pretoria Show in 1958, the 120Y and SSS models were household names, before going on to become the number one brand between 1976 and 1978."
In addition to the announcement, we also found a teaser rendering showing the front end of Datsuns first production model that will be a compact passenger car. Were not sure if this image has gone public before, but this is the first time weve seen it.
In December, it was revealed that the Datsuns new low-cost family cars will share their underpinnings with Russias Lada, which in mid-2014, will pass into the ownership of the Renault-Nissan Alliance.

Peugeot 207 RC – 175Hp 0 100km h in 7 1 sec
PSA Peugeot-Citroen’s December webzine issue provides us a premature view of Peugeot’s upcoming 207 RC. To be presented officially at the Geneva Show in March, the 207 RC is fitted with the most powerful version yet of PSA-BMW’s 1.6-litre Twinscroll Turbo engine producing 175Hp & 240 Nm of torque (the same motor is also used on the 2007 MINI Cooper S). According to Peugeot, the RC needs 7,1 sec for the 0 to 100km/h (62mph) sprint and it reaches a top speed of 220 km/h (137mph).
While the 207 RC’s specs are among the best in its class, we’re kinda disappointed with its subtle exterior looks, especially when compared with Renault’s Clio RS and Opel’s Corsa OPC. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a sucker for the 207’s looks, but the RC in particular, is a GTi and in this category you’d expect something much more compelling. At least it gets a set of bucket seats in the interior to differentiate itself from its (much) less powerful siblings.

Diesel engine options account for more than 90% of the BMW X5′s sales in the UK, and from what I’ve gathered during my test in Athens, the oil burner engines are the way to go for the heavy X5.
BMW’s twin turbodiesel 3.0 liter engine makes 286bhp and has a peak torque of 580Nm over a flat curve – an engine that keeps pulling and pulling and pulling until it is time to shift to the next ratio.

Ford’s Kuzak hints that GT successor may be in the cards
Now here’s a juicy rumor we can get excited about: According to the crew over at Automobile, Ford may be considering another shot at the legendary Ford GT. The news comes courtesy of Derrick Kuzak, Ford’s head of global product development. After being questioned about the possibility of a GT successor, Kuzak chose his words very carefully by admitting that there are certain things in the four-year product plan that the company isn’t comfortable with discussing. While that’s not an out-and-out confirmation that the Blue Oval wants to see another mid-engine, high-horsepower machine in its stable, the overly diplomatic response does indicate that the thought may have crossed more than a few minds in Dearborn.
Is this a thin thread to cling to? Absolutely, but the talking heads of the industry typically site pesky issues like a vehicle’s high expense and looming CAFE standards as perfect reasons against building a new halo car. Considering that none of that rhetoric showed up this time around and the fact that we’ve heard rumors about a hybrid GT successor, it wouldn’t seem to be too much of a stretch to think that we just might see a new version of the car in a few short years. Consider our fingers crossed.

Widely seen on the roads throughout, Prius has captured attention of many people in a very short span of time. It is known as most successful hybrid car by the company since its inception in 1997.
Costing at 18,00,000 rupees in Pakistan, surely it’s is an expensive car for imported cars market, but still it has been gaining popularity among different social groups. Economical mileage and efficient use of fuel are another plus point for this car. Being an ‘imported’ vehicle for people in Pakistan, the price factor does make any concern in minds.
While the unique body style and design has been appraised by the users, there are some who are fascinated by the look and force of Prius. That’s why, one can see its high demand by different classifieds and car dealing websites.
The technical aspects start from the engine. Toyota has equipped the Prius with a 1.8L VVT-i machine having 4 Cylinders. This is capable of producing a power of 134 horse power. Power transmission utilizes ‘Electronically controlled Continuously Variable Transmission’ (ECVT) mechanism, seems quite impressive.

For enthusiasts, thrilled by high speed, this is must-buy car to fulfill their thrilling desire, even with a high price.
Its exterior has some outclass features especially the Projector-beam halogen headlights with auto-off feature are applausive. The brightness is greater even in foggy climate. On the rear side, LED tail and stop lights are installed, giving a better outlook to Prius. Further, 5-spoke alloy wheels with 17-inch size are fitted. Beyond than that, P215/45R17 tires are also mounted on these stylish alloyrims to impress the customers.
Another feature that inspires many customers is its UV reduction glass windshield —- a healthy add-on. Though many people are not much aware regarding importance of this type of windshield, but those who are conscious about their skin would really appreciate this feature. Washer-linked variable intermittent windshield wipers for the front windshield and Intermittent rear window wiper are also been added.
Coming to Toyota Prius interior, the cabin is crafted very well. It is spacious and futuristic. Features like automatic climate controller with powerful air filter, dust filtration mode —-especially good for pollen allergic patients’, an electric compressor, humidity sensor and last but not the least push-button controls are some spotlighted gadgets, making Toyota’s Prius a success.
Summarizing other important features, there is a touch tracer display, a smart key system and an audio display with 6.1 inch touchscreen AM/FM CD player. This CD player is also added with a USB port and Bluetooth wireless technology. For making steering more comfortable to operate during driving, it has been added with Electric Power Steering (EPS) steering having a power-assisted rack-and-pinion system.
Mostly, Toyota is providing parts to the Pakistani industry where they assembled them to give these parts shape of a car. But mainly, Toyota Corolla is assembled here. The faith, people have on the imported cars is still just like during the era of 90’s. For this, they are willing to pay way higher to make 100 % confidence on what they buy. Toyota Prius price in Pakistan is high for sure, but the features and supplements, it has are unmatchable. This is the secret of success of this car indeed.

In addition, if your machine unbalanced collapse - toe, it could cause an accident. The first thing, before adjusting the car's wheels, you need to check tire pressure, it must be the same. Then, install a machine on a flat surface and place in a rectilinear direction of the wheel. To remove the remaining friction in the suspension, you sleduet2 3 times with a force push to the front and rear bumper. The next step in this procedure is to define convergence. To do this, you need between the rims front and rear axles to determine the difference. This can be done using special instrumentation or special rulers. This range consists of interconnected telescoping tubes, chains and control terminals. Measuring with a telescopic motion of the tubes takes place through the indicator scale. It is important that you set the line at the front of the wheel, while the control chain should touch the floor, and the ends of the tire should rest against lugs. Next, you should be on the measuring scale, put the arrow back to zero. Then roll the car up to the time when the line will stay on the centerline of the wheel behind. In addition, its vertical position can not be changed. Measuring its size in millimeters of alignment, you can understand how she shifted from the norm. To achieve the recommended standards, you will need on the side steering rockets to adjust the clutch linkage. When finished adjusting clutch, do not forget to pull off their tight bolts. In addition to the special line, camber can be done with a plumb or ordinary smooth rectangle. Raise the car with the jack, so that the wheels do not touch the floor. Then find the point of equal beats. They are located on opposite sides and are located on the sidewalls of tires. Next you should find support as a stand, it will help you make a withdrawal and a supply of chalk to the side of the tire rotating wheel. Then, you put notches on opposite sides of the speakers, where on the chalk marks were left, and then turn the wheel so that the labels were on the vertical. To determine the camber, you need to install next to the wheel of a rectangle or a plumb line. From the top of the rim before the plummet or rectangle - will be the distance. Value should fluctuate within the limits - of 1-5 mm. If the value exceeds the desired size, then you need to reduce it. This process can be done by adding shims, and washers. They should be the same thickness. These materials must be installed between the axis of the lower lever and the crossbar. If you can not cope with this type of work or if you have any difficulties, better consult a qualified professional stations.
