Como era de esperar debido a su coste reducido, el Renault Twizy ha sido de nuevo el eléctrico más demandado con 42 unidades matriculadas sólo en septiembre y 867 en lo que va de año. El pequeño Twizy están teniendo unos primeros meses bastante buenos, aunque por debajo de las elevadas previsiones de la marca. En Europa ya se han entregado desde su lanzamiento la pasada primavera 7.893 unidades del pequeño biplaza, una cifra que casi dobla los resultados del Kangoo Z.E que ha logrado 4.251 nuevos clientes. Ambos modelos no se tienen en cuenta en el ranking general de modelo en España al pertecener a categorías específicas (cuadriciclos y comerciales respectivamente).Continue reading España: Así fueron las ventas de híbridos y eléctricos en septiembreEspaña: Así fueron las ventas de híbridos y eléctricos en septiembre originally appeared on Autoblog Español on Sat, 20 Oct 2012 03:29:00 EST.

That's what UK Nissan dealers are saying in an attempt to sell the all-electric Leaf across the pond. Nissan UK sent a letter to its customers saying that Nissan owners could use the Leaf as a courtesy car when their vehicles are in the shop, according to Green Car Reports. And the automaker stressed that this applied to owners of all Nissan vehicles, not just those who already own Leafs "We thought the chance to drive the 100% Leaf might come as something of a pleasant surprise," the letter says in an oh-so-polite British tone. A loaned-out Leaf with a right-hand drive? We'll take that.UK Nissan dealers offering Leaf loaner cars, even when ICE vehicles are in the shop originally appeared on Autoblog Green on Fri, 19 Oct 2012 19:37:00 EST.

| Posted: 19 Oct 2012 05:13 PM PDT  Video: Watch the entire 30-minute Urban Outlaw documentary Filed under: Classics, Convertible, Coupe, Performance, Videos, Porsche Earlier this year we had the pleasure of sharing with you a short film called Urban Outlaw, which detailed some of the life and cars of iconoclastic Porschephile Magnus Walker. The original three-minute film, by director Tamir Moscovici, was impeccably shot and well worth your time if you are even the slightest bit interested in old 911s. The small project gained enough momentum to turn in to a larger one, it seems, and Moscovici's short video has now given life to a 30-minute film. The fuller version of Urban Outlaw debuted at the Raindance Film Festival in London, and is now available to watch from the comfort of your own computer. Sit back, grab your Porsche hat, dim the lights and enjoy the complete story by scrolling down below.Continue reading Watch the entire 30-minute Urban Outlaw documentaryWatch the entire 30-minute Urban Outlaw documentary originally appeared on Autoblog on Fri, 19 Oct 2012 19:59:00 EST.

| Posted: 19 Oct 2012 05:12 PM PDT  Motorsports: Running order set for 2012 Petit Le Mans Filed under: Motorsports The 15th running of Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta is slated for this weekend, and there promises to be plenty of exciting racing in the last event of the American Le Mans Series. Despite being dropped from the World Endurance Championship in favor of the 6 Hours of Bahrain, the field of cars remains bountiful thanks to the European Le Mans Series joining in and making the 10-hour endurance race its series finale as well. To set the starting order for tomorrow's race, each of the teams ran a 15 minute qualifying session this afternoon split up by class. In P1 the Rebellion Racing Lola-Toyota qualified on pole, just ahead of the Muscle Milk Racing HPD ARX-03a that has dominated the class in ALMS this year. Rebillion Racing finished 5th in last year's event and are looking to add a victory at Petit Le Mans to their extensive list of wins already achieved this year. In the hotly contested GT class it was a pair of Extreme Speed Ferrari 458 Italias leading the way in a 1-2, followed by BMW and Corvette. The SRT Viper team, constantly improving since their debut at Mid-Ohio, qualified in 6th and 10th. After being extensively repaired from Wednesday's crash, the Nissan DeltaWing posted a qualifying time on par with the P2 class, netting a fast lap of 1:12.850, eight-tenths off the quickest P2 car. Check out the complete list of qualifying times here (PDF), and check out our photos from the practice and qualifying sessions in the gallery above.Running order set for 2012 Petit Le Mans originally appeared on Autoblog on Fri, 19 Oct 2012 19:28:00 EST.

| Posted: 19 Oct 2012 04:01 PM PDT  Video: Man reunited with his first Harley after more than 30 years Filed under: Videos, Motorcycle Ed Church bought his first motorcycle, a 1958 Harley-Davidson, when he was a sophomore in high school. He rode it and learned to dearly love it over the next 13 years, and then sold it when his daughter was born. Like many of us who've been in the same position, Church regretted the decision he made to sell the bike, practical though it may have been, and spent many years wondering what he'd do if he could only find it again. This eBay video (part of its new eBay Thanks You series) may be just a tiny bit over-the-top in its tenderly scored and sepia-toned scenes, but it still tells a pretty great story. Motoring enthusiasts and romantics alike, be warned, the video below may jerk a tear or two.Continue reading Man reunited with his first Harley after more than 30 yearsMan reunited with his first Harley after more than 30 years originally appeared on Autoblog on Fri, 19 Oct 2012 18:44:00 EST.

| Posted: 19 Oct 2012 04:00 PM PDT  Report: Toyota Prius now best-selling model(s) in California Filed under: Hybrid, Toyota We've heard the Toyota Prius jokingly called the State Bird of California, but recent sales data shows that the world's most popular hybrid is, in fact, the best-selling car in the state. Well, the best-selling vehicle line, at least, since the Prius now comes in four variants. If you add up sales of the Prius Liftback (aka, the regular Prius), the C, V and Plug-In models, you get 46,380 units for the first three quarters of 2012, according to numbers from the California New Car Dealers Association and reported by Bloomberg. That's enough to move the Prius from fourth place last year to first this year in the sales rankings in America's most populous state. In fact, roughly a quarter of the Priuses that Toyota sold in the US were in California. Reports of $5 gallons of gas are relatively recent, but we have to assume that the state's long-time high gas prices are playing a role in pushing the Prius to the pinnacle there. Nationwide, Bloomberg says, the Prius is in seventh place ("by sales volume among car models"). The Prius is already the best-selling car in Japan, and has been for years, even though the Honda Fit has been nipping at its heals. Worldwide, the Prius family was the third best-selling nameplate in the first quarter of 2012, behind the Toyota Corolla and the Ford Focus.Toyota Prius now best-selling model(s) in California originally appeared on Autoblog Green on Fri, 19 Oct 2012 17:55:00 EST.

How many times can you reference Creedence Clearwater Revival in a story about a Volkswagen? For some Fortunate Son or daughter looking to get behind the wheel of the 2013 Volkswagen CC R-Line, we now know how much you'll have to pay the Penthouse Pauper. (Hey, we could do this all day). MSRP for the R-Line edition of the Volkswagen CC is set at $32,195, not including a destination charge of $795. For that, buyers get unique R-Line visuals including a more sporting grille, projector-style fog lights, along with revised lower front fascia and side skirts. The R-Line also receives 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels, while the cabin is fitted with a navigation system and steering wheel mounted paddle shifters augmenting the DSG dual-clutch transmission. The CC R-Line debuted at Germany's Auto Mobil International show, and it comes equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four sending power to the front wheels. In addition to the DSG, a six-speed manual gearbox is available. The rest of the features list is essentially that of the CC's Sport Plus trim. You can expect to see the CC R-Line Up Around the Bend or Down On the Corner at your local Volkswagen dealer in the near future (okay, enough) or you can check out our gallery and the official press release below.Continue reading VW looks out its back door, prices 2013 CC R-Edition at $32,195VW looks out its back door, prices 2013 CC R-Edition at $32,195 originally appeared on Autoblog on Fri, 19 Oct 2012 17:15:00 EST.

| Posted: 19 Oct 2012 01:59 PM PDT  Official: Lincoln opens dedicated design studio Filed under: Lincoln, Design/Style, LuxuryLincoln showed off its new design center Thursday, the first dedicated studio for the luxury brand since the 1970s. Company officials say the new studio will let designers focus just on the Lincoln brand - which is in the early stages of a badly needed rebirth - instead of splitting their time between Ford and Lincoln models. In the new space, Lincoln designers can focus on one thing: Making the brand something customers want to buy again. "We're trying to bring the best talent in the company together in order to move this brand forward," says J Mays, head of Ford's global design. The new Lincoln design studio is located inside Ford's existing Dearborn, Michigan product development center, where about 150 designers, sculptors, math sculptors (folks who can translate computer designs into clay), and modelers will work to bring future Lincoln designs to life. The designers utilize computer-assisted design software to help translate sketches into clay models. The computer designs are then fed to a Tarus milling machine, which scrapes and drills clay models until they look like a real car. Then, clay modelers use traditional hand tools to perfect the pieces, which can be changed on a moment's notice. Lincoln isn't saying how much the 40,000-square-foot space cost, but officials note the studio has been styled to look like a loft apartment, with open spaces designed to let artists and engineers pop in on each other and foster conversation. It was designed by a company named Imagine, but Lincoln's head designer, Max Wolff had a lot of influence in the space - particularly pushing the openness concept to make the cubicle areas seem like a newsroom. The radically new 2013 Lincoln MKZ goes on sale later this year and the automaker is poised to show two new models in the coming months. "Our ambition is not to be No. 1," said Jim Farley, head of global sales and marketing. "We'd rather have a few people love us than everybody like us."Lincoln opens dedicated design studio originally appeared on Autoblog on Fri, 19 Oct 2012 16:30:00 EST.

Lexus, which first unveiled a concept version of the 2+2 hybrid at the Detroit Auto Show in January, showed a second version of the car - this one decked out in blue, giving it the creative name of LF-LC Blue - at the Australian International Motor Show.

More impressively, Lexus said the car's hybrid powertrain delivers 500 horsepower.

F1 head honcho Bernie Ecclestone has reported that the event, previously expected to take place in Weehawkin, New Jersey in 2013, has now been pushed back by a year.The Associated Press is reporting Ecclestone as having said, "Everything is set up but now it's too late to finish on time." The New Jersey race had tentatively been scheduled for June 16 of next year. Reasons for pushing back the race seem to lie in the slow arrival of some funding, and/or road repair and permitting issues. The Jersey Journal reported that organizers fell behind on said logistics, while Ecclestone mentioned, "They got all the permissions together. Everything was done, that was all fine, but then they missed the boat a little on some financing that was coming in." Of course, the very existence of this race has been a contentious issue for some time.F1's New Jersey Grand Prix postponed until 2014 originally appeared on Autoblog on Fri, 19 Oct 2012 15:45:00 EST.

| Posted: 19 Oct 2012 12:18 PM PDT  Video: BMW E30 3 Series is the Ultimate Plowing Machine? Filed under: Aftermarket, Videos Don't look now, but snow season is rapidly approaching, and what better car to clear snow from a driveway than a... mint E30 BMW 3 Series Convertible. While most plow vehicles are big, heavy-duty trucks, Nordic Auto Plow didn't want the rest of us to be left out in the cold, so the Chicago-based company developed a plastic, light-duty plow that can attach to almost anything - including a car, an ATV or even a riding lawn mower. Now, this isn't the first time we've seen a product like this before, but the fact that the company turned the Ultimate Driving Machine into the Ultimate Plowing Machine definitely grabbed our attention. This plastic, modular blade hooks to the front or rear of just about any vehicle using a pair of straps and a pair of bungee cords, and since it only rests against the car's bumper rather than actually being attached to it, we imagine it would be pretty hard to cause any frame damage. On most cars with plastic fascias, there will most certainly be paint damage, though. Still, weighing under 50 pounds, taking less than a minute to install, costing less than $700 and being able to remove snow from the heated comfort of your car, this would probably be a time-saving, cost-effective alternative to a snow blower when clearing a driveway or small parking lot as shown in the videos below. Now all you need is a Mr. Plow jacket.Continue reading BMW E30 3 Series is the Ultimate Plowing Machine?BMW E30 3 Series is the Ultimate Plowing Machine? originally appeared on Autoblog on Fri, 19 Oct 2012 14:57:00 EST.

| Posted: 19 Oct 2012 12:18 PM PDT  Chevy to show SS in Vegas in race trim Filed under: Motorsports, Sedan, Performance, Chevrolet, Racing A lot of speculation has been made with regards to the SS, the promised new Chevrolet rear-wheel drive performance sedan. The Holden Commodore-based muscle saloon will be prowling the open road as early as next year, while a NASCAR version is set to compete in 2013. Shots of the cars testing in their respective natural habitats have led to endless speculation, and it appears we now know which car will debut first. Word from Speed is that the 2013 Chevrolet SS NASCAR Sprint Cup car is set to bow on Thursday, November 29 at the Wynn Las Vegas hotel and casino. The car will reportedly be shown in full race trim, sans sponsor graphics for Bounty, Skoal or Taylor Swift. The Vegas debut will mark the introduction of the final vehicle to enter in the 2013 NASCAR season. Dodge unveiled its Charger racecar in March before leaving the race series. Toyota showed off its V8, RWD Camry NASCAR in May, while Ford debuted its race-spec Fusion in January of this year. The remaining entries are expected to (visually) bear a closer resemblance to their road-going counterparts. While the SS racecar is debuting next month in Vegas, no mention of the production version SS was made. We are still under the impression that February 21, 2013 will still be the launch date for the road-going version of the rear-wheel drive Holden-based sedan that has GM enthusiasts so worked up.Chevy to show SS in Vegas in race trim originally appeared on Autoblog on Fri, 19 Oct 2012 14:15:00 EST.

| Posted: 19 Oct 2012 11:28 AM PDT  Video: Courb C-ZEN impresses with looks, test drive Filed under: EV/Plug-in, Europe/EU, Videos Let's just say the Courb C-ZEN had a bit of a home-court advantage when Technologic Vehicles got to test drive the two-seat electric vehicle. The French EV was put through its paces at the Paris Motor Show recently, and the little car was apparently impressive. Technologic Vehicles said the Courb was "very comfortable," had a "high-quality finish" and an "impressive" trunk that holds 400 liters (14.1 cubic feet). The C-ZEN, which will also come in a pick-up version called the C-TOP, will start deliveries next year with a lease price of about 300 euros ($392 US at current exchange rates) per month and a purchase price of more than 25,000 euros ($32,690). The car, which uses battery packs from Valence Technology, was first unveiled at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. Back then, it was said the car would have a single-charge range of 125 miles and a top speed of 68 miles per hour. Technologic Vehicles didn't get a chance to test both those numbers out, but you can watch the 85-second test-drive video below.Continue reading Courb C-ZEN impresses with looks, test driveCourb C-ZEN impresses with looks, test drive originally appeared on Autoblog Green on Fri, 19 Oct 2012 14:10:00 EST.

Filed under: Sedan, Hatchback, Mazda, Design/Style The next-generation Mazda3 is expected next year, but aside from renderings and our own imagination about a compact economy car sporting Mazda's new Kodo design language, we really have no clue what this design will actually look like. Auto Express has gotten a hold of some shots it believes are official digital images from Mazda that could be a very good indication of what the Japanese automaker has in store for its top-selling car, but it's important to note the images could also be of an upcoming concept vehicle or just a design proposal. Production or not, these renderings show the possibility for the 2014 Mazda3 that finds itself competing in a much more interesting class of cars than what was available back in 2009. The image of the Mazda3 5-door hatchback design shows a sloped rear D-pillar that gives it a strong family kinship with the new CX-5 and Mazda2, while the sedan has a sleek and sporty roofline along the lines of what we've recently seen on the new Mazda6. We reached out to Mazda for comment on these images, and Jeremy Barnes, Mazda's director of public relations, had this to say: "Any speculation about a next-generation Mazda3 is just that - speculation. And, as a policy, we do not comment on future product speculation."Are you the next Mazda3? originally appeared on Autoblog on Fri, 19 Oct 2012 13:30:00 EST.
