The result: a two-minute spot that put trainee drivers in Belgium with an instructor who said part of their driving test would be to avoid an obstacle while texting a random sentence that he'd dictate. Since nothing beyond a cone or two was hurt in the making of this video, we'll admit we laughed. That said, the message is clear.Scroll down to see it for yourself.

| Posted: 30 Apr 2012 05:23 PM PDT  Michigan dealer sells about a Volt a day Filed under: EV/Plug-in, Chevrolet, GM, USA One Michigan car dealership sells almost one Chevrolet Volt every day, a far cry above the sales at most other dealerships. The reason is that the dealer's staff has been extensively trained on the car, aggressively cross-selling the model and playing up the green connection with two windmills on the property. According to Forbes, Serra Chevrolet in Southfield, MI - about 15 miles northwest of Detroit - sells about 25 Volts a month. The dealer trains each salesperson specifically on the Volt for at least 12 hours and encourages them to cross-sell the car to customers that come in looking for anything from an SUV to a midsize to a compact. To put a green point on the deal, about 15 percent of the dealer's electric power is provided by two windmills located behind the building. Some of the other better performing dealers in terms of Volt sales include Maryland's Criswell Chevrolet and Penske Chevrolet in Cerritos, CA, near Los Angeles. Such dealers are helping move a model that struggled for sales last year but has shown recent momentum. In March, the Volt had its most successful month since its late 2010 launch, selling 2,289 units, which was more than triple year-earlier sales. Chevrolet parent General Motors will release April sales figures later this week.Michigan dealer sells about a Volt a day originally appeared on AutoblogGreen on Mon, 30 Apr 2012 19:53:00 EST.

| Posted: 30 Apr 2012 05:23 PM PDT  Watch Cadillac's new semi-autonomous Super Cruise in action Filed under: Technology, Cadillac, GMCadillac is trying to make a name for itself on the safety and technology front, recently introducing its new Safety Alert Seat and outfitting new models with a suite of safety equipment that arguably puts it among the leaders in the industry. We got a chance to sample some of this last month, but we were also allowed to "drive" a semi-autonomous SRX test mule equipped with what Cadillac is calling "Super Cruise." Nominally an improvement on adaptive cruise control, Super Cruise is actually a more sophisticated system that uses a camera communicating with the car's GPS to "see" the road ahead. It goes one step further than currently available systems, however, automatically centering the vehicle in the lane using its electric power steering system. Unlike other active lane-departure systems that use a car's brakes to help prevent it from veering off the road, the system General Motors is developing allows for precisely setting the vehicle's position within the lane. The test mule we sampled had steering-wheel-mounted buttons that would allow you to "nudge" the car from side to side by a foot at a time without upsetting its course. Super Cruise also communicates with the vehicle's other active safety systems to help prevent and mitigate crashes. Super Cruise is designed only for use on the highway, to "ease the driver's workload." Super Cruise is designed only for use on the highway, to "ease the driver's workload," with drivers still required to steer in city traffic and for more complicated maneuvers like passing. GM officials acknowledged the difficulty in deploying a system like this, a technology that if used improperly may encourage inattentive driving. Supposedly the system will only be functional under the specific circumstances for which it is designed, much like today's in-car entertainment systems will not play video on the front screen unless a vehicle is in Park. Currently the system is somewhat limited by external factors, like weather and the need for distinct lane markings. If visibility is low or the road doesn't have at least one clear lane demarcation, Super Cruise won't function. However, GM says it will improve the vision abilities of the system as it readies the technology for the marketplace. GM says that Super Cruise could be introduced into production vehicles in just a few years, "by mid-decade." While on the one hand, its ability to help improve the safety of our roads is laudable, we can't help but express our frustration at the march of technology headed inevitably towards removing the physical act of driving from the motoring equation.Scroll down to watch some video of us aboard the Super Cruise-equipped test mule and read the full press release.Continue reading Watch Cadillac's new semi-autonomous Super Cruise in actionWatch Cadillac's new semi-autonomous Super Cruise in action originally appeared on Autoblog on Mon, 30 Apr 2012 19:01:00 EST.

But a Harley-Davidson motorcycle? That's what one Peter Mark found while riding his ATV on a secluded island off the Pacific coast of British Columbia. It's origin? Japan. The bike - enclosed along with other random items in what appears to be the compartment off a moving truck - appears to have traveled some 3,000 miles across the North Pacific from Japan's Miyagi Prefecture to the Canadian province of British Columbia. That's where Mark found it, rusted but recognizable inside the white cube that was apparently washed out to sea by the tsunami that struck the island nation one year ago. The finder of the piece of iron driftwood left it where he found it and contacted the Japanese consulate in Vancouver which is trying to track down the original owner whose fate remains unknown. Scroll down to watch the fascinating video report.Continue reading Harley-Davidson lost in Japan's tsunami washes up in CanadaHarley-Davidson lost in Japan's tsunami washes up in Canada originally appeared on Autoblog on Mon, 30 Apr 2012 19:29:00 EST.

No es que las cosas les estén yendo tan mal como para tener que buscar nuevos clientes promocionándose a través de internet, pero imaginamos que para contentar a sus fans (la mayoría de ellos de bolsillo rascado) han estado subiendo un buen puñado de vídeos a su casi olvidada cuenta oficial. La mayoría de ellos ya los habíamos visto antes (incluyendo cierto clip del Galibier que rueda por ahí como nuevo a pesar de tener más de dos años), pero este que te dejamos ahora no nos suena de haberlo encontrado anteriormente por ahí. Y si no es nuevo, poco que nos importa. El vídeo en cuestión documenta parcialmente la creación del L'or Blanc, una edición única del Veyron Grand Sport desarrollada en colaboración con la firma alemana Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur que hace gala de un brillante esmaltado artesanal de cinco capas con aspecto de porcelana. En realidad, las piezas fabricadas con cerámica auténtica son solo un puñado (como los centros de las ruedas, el tapón de la gasolina, una bandeja central y los emblemas), pero la excelsa terminación de su carrocería podría engañar a cualquiera.

| Posted: 30 Apr 2012 03:34 PM PDT  Followup: Guy Fieri's stolen Lamborghini found in teen's storage container Filed under: Convertible, Performance, Government/Legal, Lamborghini, Celebrities Sometimes, truth is stranger than fiction. A Lamborghini stolen from celebrity chef Guy Fieri has been found a year after it first went missing. In case you need refreshing, the Lambo was pilfered by a thief who literally rappelled off the roof of a building in order to get access to the Italian Stallion. It seems the perpetrator had a thing for stealthy operations - the vehicle turned up during an investigation that began after a motorcyclist wearing all black fired a gun into a parked car. The gunman was a 17-year-old boy, and Fieri's car was located in a storage container in Point Richmond, California, along with the boy's motorcycle and apparent evidence linking him to the shooting. Fieri, for his part, is happy to have his Lamborghini back: "I would like to thank the Marin County Sheriff's Office and the Mill Valley Police Department for their hard work and effort in the recovery of my car. I'm glad we can put this behind us, and feel better knowing that justice is being served." If absence truly does make the heart grow fonder, we'd be happy to have our Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder back in one piece, too, especially considering it's been over a year since its disappearance.Guy Fieri's stolen Lamborghini found in teen's storage container originally appeared on Autoblog on Mon, 30 Apr 2012 18:30:00 EST.

His 24-year tenure with The Pentastar began in the role of senior engineer. By the time he took the job as head of procurement in 2009, he had helped create marquee SRT models including the Dodge Viper, Jeep Grand Cherokee and Chrysler 300C. Knott's efforts to improve Chrysler's relationships with suppliers has even the suppliers praising him. After just three years on the job, the head of the Original Equipment Supplier's Association said Knott had done "more than any individual that I know of in the history of OEM/supplier relations" when it came turning around Chrysler's dealings with suppliers. On top of that he was a racer, an Automotive News All-Star, an inductee into the Viper Club Hall of Fame, chairman of the Michigan Minority Supplier Development Council, board member on a non-profit for people with disabilities, a key player in Chrysler's sustainability drive, and he enforced reviews of the business that the Chrysler's Tier 1 suppliers did with women- and minority-owned businesses. He will be missed.Dan Knott, former Chrysler exec, succumbs to cancer at 51 originally appeared on Autoblog on Mon, 30 Apr 2012 18:01:00 EST.

Car2go's doing both. Daimler AG's car-sharing division, which has operations in places such as Amsterdam, Vienna and San Diego, last week launched service in Berlin in its native Germany with by far its largest fleet of Smart ForTwo two-seaters available for short-term rentals. Car2go Berlin has 1,000 vehicles available for the approximately 65-square-mile area where customers can pick up and drop of the two-seaters. Car2go is charging a one-time registration fee of 9.9 euros (about $13 at current exchange rates) and will charge 12.9 ($17) euros an hour to drive. By the time the service started up in Berlin, 2,000 people had already pre-registered for the service. The car-sharing service, which has about 70,000 members throughout Europe and North America, launched in 2009 in Austin, TX. Last month, Car2go started service in Washington, D.C., and Portland, OR and said it would debut in the UK in this fall.Continue reading World's largest Car2Go fleet deployed in BerlinWorld's largest Car2Go fleet deployed in Berlin originally appeared on AutoblogGreen on Mon, 30 Apr 2012 17:54:00 EST.

| Posted: 30 Apr 2012 02:48 PM PDT  Report: PSA: Sunbathing in the road can yield unfortunate tan lines Filed under: Etc., Safety, Videos We know rural Midwestern folks sometimes do things a little differently than their urban cousins. If you want to get a tan in the reedy areas of The Corn Belt you don't need a booth, you just lie down in your own yard. One thing you don't do when bronzing, however - even in the Midwest - is lie down in the street. That is what two unlucky girls did in Economy, Pennsylvania and when they fell asleep during their sunlight session they got run over by a car. From what we can gather, after the girls had lain down on Donald Avenue they fell asleep, and did so not far from an intersection. When a car turned onto Donald Ave from the crossroad, it ran over the girls. Turns out that car contained three cousins of one of the injured girls, with one of them, a 19-year-old male, driving. The good news is that the girls were airlifted to the hospital and are in stable condition. The bad news is what their parents have in store for them when they're recovered and home. Check out the news segment on WTAE Pittsburgh for the full report.PSA: Sunbathing in the road can yield unfortunate tan lines originally appeared on Autoblog on Mon, 30 Apr 2012 17:29:00 EST.

Para ser una compañía diminuta y procedente de un país con tan poca tradición automovilística como Croacia, su primer coche, el Concept One (Concept_One si quieres ser especialmente puntilloso) es estéticamente la envidia de cualquier constructor incipiente.

Ahora, tras seducir a los asistentes del exclusivo Top Marques Mónaco, ya se encuentra oficialmente a la venta. Este deportivo con cuatro motores eléctricos ha diseñado por un equipo técnico procedente en parte de Pininfarina y cuenta con la firma de Vilner en su sencillo pero lujoso habitáculo.

| Posted: 30 Apr 2012 02:09 PM PDT  Video: Patrick Dempsey rescues teen from flipped car outside Malibu home Filed under: Videos, Celebrities "I'm not a doctor, but I play one on television." So went the script for countless television commercials of yore, featuring the stars of medical dramas capitalizing on their on-air personae to shill for pills, HMOs and what-have-you. But one television doctor didn't hesitate to jump into action when duty called - medical training be damned. That actor is one Patrick Dempsey, who most might recognize for his role as Dr. McDreamy on the ABC medical drama Grey's Anatomy. He's also a consummate race car driver - arguably today's Steve McQueen or Paul Newman - competing in such events as the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Rolex 24 at Daytona and the Baja 1000 rally raid. These seemingly disparate aspects of Dempsey's life, however, converged when a kid flipped his Mustang in front of the actor's house in Malibu last week. Having rolled the Ford three times, 17-year-old Weston Massett was trapped inside the wreckage when McDreamy came to the rescue, crowbar in hand, to get the kid out of the car, nursing him until the airlift arrived and following him to the hospital. Massett is expected to make a full recovery from the concussion and stretched optic nerve that were his only injuries to speak of. Scroll down for the television report.Continue reading Patrick Dempsey rescues teen from flipped car outside Malibu homePatrick Dempsey rescues teen from flipped car outside Malibu home originally appeared on Autoblog on Mon, 30 Apr 2012 16:59:00 EST.
