Pros: Sporty yet classy styling that will age gracefully, minimal overhang in front and back, impressive stance (especially with headlights on), 17 inch alloy wheels on GT models.

Cons: Stock antenna is huge, 17 inch wheel styling is mediocre.

When ordering our long term 2008.5 Mazda 3 s GT model we were sure to spec it out with almost every option available with the sole exception being factory navigation (We went with a Garmin Nuvi 760 instead).

On top end 2008.5 Mazda 3 s GT models the car is outfitted with more aggressive styling cues like a body colored split grille, sportier bumper design, clear LED taillights and all-season tires wrapped around 17-inch alloy wheels. With a combination of sharp edges and flowing body lines typically found on entry level luxury cars, the Mazda3 is a real head turner and is often mistaken as a car that cost ,000 or more.

On the topic of appearance, the design of the 17-inch alloy wheels left us a little confused. Mazda freshened the wheels with a new design but the newer, snowflake style of the 17-inch wheels looks out of place on a car with such clear sporting intentions. In spite of the snowflakes, the 2008.5 Mazda 3 has a very dominant stance and shows very strongly in photos.

Something that has plagued the Mazda 3′s design since 2004 is Mazda’s choice to use a long antenna at the rear center of the car to give it a more European look. While we agree that the antenna’s placement does look sporty and very Euro, it’s also way too big. In fact, the stock antenna measures more than a few inches tall and sticks out of the Mazda 3 like Elroy Jetson’s hat.

Our first mod for our Mazda 3 was to swap out the antenna with a shark fin.

Other notable exterior features include turn in (folding) power mirrors, auto on/off headlights that come on automatically at dusk, fog lights, rain sensing wipers and adjustable HID headlights that can be adjusted to one of four levels (Level zero is when the lights are pointed at their highest and level three aims the lights lower towards the ground which is ideal for fog).

Overall the 2008.5 Mazda 3 is very well built with striking exterior design features and significant luxury oriented options that not only make driving safer but vastly more convenient. Whether lighting your path amidst thick fog or automatically sensing and keeping rain off the windshield at varying speeds, the Mazda 3 makes driving more user friendly and fun.

Global Automotive Aftermarket to Exceed US$ 336 Billion by 2015, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

San Jose, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) February 14, 2011

Automotive aftermarket is a crucial link in the automotive value chain. The market is highly competitive, dynamic and technology-savvy and has managed to keep pace with trends in the ever-changing automobile industry. The increasing number of cars on the road each year directly translates into mounting replacement demand for auto components. The penchant of car owners to turn their cars from a simple transportation machine to an ultimate status symbol by installing a range of electronic gadgets and accessories has and will continue to remain a traditional growth driver in the aftermarket.

The automotive aftermarket, especially for parts and components is relatively cushioned as compared to the OEM automotive market, primarily because parts and components like fan belts, exhaust pipes and brake pads are less discretionary spends, since replacement of worn parts is a necessity if the vehicle needs to be kept running. Although resilient to a degree, the market is not completely recession proof, and the hypothesis that reduced spends on new cars results in higher spends on maintaining old cars often crumbles when disposable personal income, and gross domestic product (GDP) dip sharply and over a prolonged period of time, as is the case in the current financial crisis led world economic recession. Lesser availability of credit, rising levels of unemployment, reduction in disposable incomes and household wealth and falling consumer confidence have all resulted in postponement of aftermarket purchases of components, parts, and accessories. Reduced frequency of maintenance and repair, especially expensive repairs, is a direct fallout of weakening employment rates, consumer income and spending power. Volatile fuel prices have also resulted in reducing the average number of vehicle miles traveled thus reducing the need for replacements of mechanical, exterior and structural products.

Automotive Aftermarket industry is currently facing a mixed bag of opportunities and challenges. The sizable drop in retail sales of new vehicles will result in a sharp reduction in the number of cars/vehicles covered within manufacturers’ warranty periods thus promising to create increased demand for aftermarket part replacements during the post recession period. However, reduced sales of new cars will also result in reduced demand for in-vehicle telematics, entertainment and other intelligent electronic aftermarket automotive technologies and products.    

Despite the current struggles, the market is poised to make a sturdy recovery in the immediate short-term, largely because the industry still retains its underlying strength supported by trends such as longer vehicle retention, and rising awareness among car owners over the importance of car maintenance. With the recession now having played out its part in full proportions and with the automotive industry having hitting rock bottom, the worst is now over and a rebound is now seen as inevitable. Demand in the post recession period will be driven by resurgence in fundamental growth drivers, such as, recovery in GDP growth, employment rates, incomes levels, discretionary incomes, rise in consumer confidence, increase in the number of vehicle miles traveled and a parallel increase in the wear and tear of auto-parts, and recovery in OEM automotive sales, among others. Specialty aftermarket equipment/accessories, especially those that are environmentally friendly will witness the highest gains.

As discretionary spends improve, demand for street performance parts and accessories is also expected to rise in the medium term period. Legislation and consumer driven demand for fuel-efficient cars will drive post recession gains for fuel-efficiency enhancing products in the aftermarket. Additionally, future growth will be also be driven by strong performance of automotive industries in developing countries like China, and India.

Europe and the United States lead the global market, as stated by the new market research report on automotive aftermarket. Market for Electronic automotive aftermarket products in Asia-Pacific is expected to register a CAGR of 5.7% during the analysis period.

Major players in the marketplace include ACDElco, American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings, ArvinMeritor, ASIMCO, Bridgestone Corp., Continental AG, Delphi Automotive Systems, Denso Corp., Federal-Mogul Corporation, Honeywell International Inc., Johnson Controls, Lear Corp., Magna International, Magneti Marelli SpA, Michelin, Robert Bosch GmbH, TRW Automotive, and Visteon Corp., among others.

All-new Nissan JUKE introduced to Japan market on June 9, 2010. I had a test drive for 10 mintutes (but constantly on low speed). The car felt okay. Very quiet, larger cabin than it looks on outside, and I think it’s easier to drive compared to other SUVs of this size because I could see the front and side edge of the hood while driving. Color: Sapphire Black Trim: 15RX Size: 4135 x 1765 x 1565mm Weight: 1170kg Drive Method: FF Engine: HR15DE (1.5L) Horsepower: 84kW (114PS) /6000rpm Torque: 150Nm (15.3kgfm) /4000rpm Above is JDM spec.

New Electric Car Technology Status Report

By: Sam Jones
Posted: Sep 02, 2010

]]>

There is no doubt that electric cars are powered, the next big thing. But where do we stand in relation to the new technology of electric cars? Are there affordable electric cars available today? Here is a quick overview of what is now.

If you want proof that electric cars can be fast and fun check the Tesla Roadster. This exciting sports car can go 0-60 mph in 4 seconds flat and output speeds of over 100 kilometers per hour. The Roadster sells for over $ 100,000.

Another option is to buy a Scion xB and have people over at AC Propulsion become an electric vehicle. The result is called an Ebox. It handles well and has room for five passengers. The conversion cost about $ 55,000. Oh, and the Scion will cost another $ 15,000.

BMW sells a popular car called the Mini. Now they have produced an electric version called the Mini E. This car is not for sale yet. The good news is that you can rent for $ 850 per month. The bad news is that you need to live in Los Angeles or New York to do so. And there are only 500 of them available.

Believe it or not, but Chrysler has been working on a new technology for electric cars. They plan to launch a Dodge electric vehicle in two or three years – if the company was still around. Like the Tesla, this is also a flashy sports car.

Notice a trend here? There is nary an economy car power to the eye. What is happening today is that people do not want to incorporate electric cars made for them. Instead, they are making their own electric vehicles.

So, there is a growing army of people who are launching their gas engines and replaced them with other utilities. It’s not so difficult and so expensive. But how do you go about learning how to do this?

First you need to buy a electric car conversion kit. There are many available online. These kits are really sets of instructions. They cost between $ 30 – $ 50 and are immediately downloadable, so you literally can begin as early as today.

New electric car technology has made electric car conversion much cheaper and easier than it used to be. Simply follow the instructions, which also tell you where to find the cheapest parts, and you’ll soon be driving your very own electric car!

You can find out more about electric car conversion, including which kits get the highest ratings, at Electric Car Conversion Kits.
