It's unique 'overboost' facility, which can increase the torque on demand to a staggering 266Nm (and it's only a 1.6 engine, remember) means it can overtake before the 'victim' realises you're planning the move. Floor the throttle and the engine management system gives you a five second burst of up to 15 per cent more torque. It's dubbed 'Popeye's spinach for your car' by Vauxhall, which says it all.

AFE Air Filters – An Attribute To Save The World?

by Tim saunier on 2008-07-25

What is happening with our air? Is there anything people can do for our environment? And if so, are there any activities that a single man can do? Does he really impact the whole environment, where billions of other influences factor in as well? For the last two months I have been dealing with these kinds of questions. I thought, if a man who was not able to beat George W. Bush in an election (faked or not), wins a Nobel price due to his huge attainments for the safety of the world, I should at least rescue the clean air in my hometown, where cows and birds are playing golf together and the fox beats the rabbit at playing chess. As you can see, first of all I wanted to consider one element and “air” was the only one that came into question. Why?

Earth: Remember your childhood and how often you got dirty because of a ..

Toyota Trucks

by on 2008-07-25

You may have noticed that the truck market has become very hot lately. It seems that you don’t have to have construction type jobs to own a truck these days. In the past foreign trucks struggled with quality issues. Now a days all manufacturers have stepped up in quality and have produced their own profitable truck market segment.

The Toyota Tundra was previously known as a light-weight duty truck, but since 2007, the Tundra has upped the heavy-duty competitive bar. Toyota has also started an aggressive branding of their tundra line to compete more aggressively with American car manufacturers. By keeping the brand in front of the customer you slowly begin to program potential buyers into the fact that there is a better truck out there, and you don’t always have to buy American to get the best product. There newest commercials show the trucks being used by hard working laboring men in various jobs. This promotes some pride in the job and shows that it is ok to have a forei ..
