Entry into the cabin, you'll be treated to a sporty and dynamic feel of the cabin space is dominated by blue color, the skin layer jok, as well as door trim.

The entire body is wrapped in white paint APV crystal, it is interesting attention .let alone looked to the inside, especially the passenger space has been demolished completely. Seeing the design and interior configuration, APV Arena is no longer referred to as a family vehicle. Because seating is available only four: two in front and two behind.

"The concept is a luxury vehicle. Suitable to serve business partners, "said Edwin, the designer who participated monitor consumer interest towards creations at booth Suzuki. Hence, the cost of modifying the APV is big enough and he said out of about USD 120 million. Therefore, if sold, the price of this APV could reach USD 250 million!

Mini Alphard

APV appearance is, at first glance like a Toyota Alphard, so called Mini Alphard. For that, Edwin must replace the bumper and use the spoiler with a model of "Dower". Also there are additional side skirt on both side of the body.

Another significant change is the rear fender or sepatbor and fourth. Size fourth fatter fenders. The goal, in addition to providing an exclusive appearance, for 20-inch tire and rim can be installed properly and make the vehicle able to walk with a normal condition.

My Solution To WikiLeaks

If I was POTUS, the guy who runs WikiLeaks would be snatched, tried before a military tribunal as a material supporter of terrorists, and then sent to prison.

And if I couldn't snatch him, I would cause him to have a tragic accident.

Espionage is an act of war, and leaking military documents could actually cost the lives of our soldiers or our allies.

More Volt Math

The comments to my previous post, Some Volt Math, had some very astute observations.  Obviously my little calculation was based on lots of assumptions, and there are many ways to make the economics worse for the Volt.

For example, if you add the cost of a 240V home charger, professionally installed, it could add thousands to the cost.  On the other hand, it may be partly offset with tax credits.

Sales tax on the difference can be significant, 7% of $8,500 is $600, or 9 months of cost advantage gone.

12c/kWh electricity may be a rosy assumption for some, such as Californians.  What if you had to pay 15c/kWh, or in Hawaii, 27c/kWh?

On the plus side, the alternative to the Volt might not be a 30mpg vehicle, it could be a 25mpg vehicle.  But then again, it could cost $20,000 instead of $25,000, adding another $5,000 to the payoff barrier!

I have also read stories on forums that some Chevrolet dealers are planning on charging thousands over MSRP.  This won't last long, they are just going to make extra money on the early adopters, and will have to make deals when demand collapses at those prices.

I think I need to make a spreadsheet.

"Sponsored Post" WTF?

Over at LeftLane News, I read a glowing review of Toyota safety features.  I wondered why they were basically repeating Toyota's new marketing campaign, until I saw the tag "Sponsored Post".

Guys, write your own stuff.  It is bad enough that readers have to wade through banner ads, side panels, and on some sites, popup ads.  If they have to learn to ignore parts of your main feed, they'll get annoyed and start to tune out.

I don't have massive readership, but for the few readers I do have, I can promise this: any posts you read on here were written by me, with some thought.  There will be no sponsored posts.  No ghostwriting.

Some Volt Math

Today's big news is that GM will charge $41,000 MSRP for the Volt. (Question for GM: how will you keep dealers from adding a "market adjustment"?)

Assume you can get the $7,500 tax rebate, so your actual price is $35,000, plus applicable local taxes. And suppose that a comparably equipped vehicle of similar size, in a non-hybrid flavor, can be had for $25,000 (a premium compact like a VW Jetta, Volvo C30, or a Subaru Impreza).

For $8,500 premium, you get a 40mile all electric range. That represents 80% of the 16KWh battery, or about 13kWh. At 12c/kWh, if you can drive all electric, 15,000mi/year will cost you about $585. Very nice.

If your premium compact gas car gets an average of just 30mpg, 15,000mi at $3.00/gal will cost you $1,500.

Under these assumptions, best case (all electric Volt miles), you save $915/year driving the Volt. To gain back your $10,000 price premium, you will have to drive the Volt for 9.3 years, 1.3 year longer than the battery warranty.

Now suppose you can't run your Volt 100% electric, but you need to rely on the gas generator engine for just 33% of your mileage. 10,000 miles electric will cost you $390, and 5,000 miles at 40mpg (assume) will cost you $375. Running a Volt 66/33 electric/gas will cost you $765. The payback time for your $10,000 premium is now over 11.1 years, 3 years longer than the battery warranty.

My point here is that at $41,000 MSRP, the Volt is not a great deal, except for people who are passionate about not using much gasoline. In order to even come close to making sense for the average consumer, the Volt needs to be priced for a payback of about 5 years, or about $29,000 out-the-door, or $36,500 MSRP, with the $7,500 tax credit.

Update: fixed my math error.

SPESIFIKASI Mitsubishi Motor Corp | Mobil Murah Mitsubishi

Japanese manufacturer, Mitsubishi did not explicitly want to get the car cheap in Indonesia. However, the possibility of the birth of cheap Mitsubishi car was not yet closed.

For now Mitsubishi Motors Corp. (MMC), which became the principal Mitsubishi is preparing a tiny car that Mitsubishi will become a global product.

This was revealed by Marketing Director of PT Krama Yudha Three Berlian Motors (KTB) Rizwan Alamsyah IIMS arena, at the JI Expo Kemayoran, Jakarta.

"I heard that MMC is currently preparing a global small car in Thailand. Hopefully, this new car can cost a relatively affordable," he said.


Mitsubishi Motors North American CEO, Shinichi Kurihara, on the sidelines of the New York International Auto Show (NYIAS) said Mitsubishi models in the future will be smaller dimensions than the B-segment vehicle Europe.

"This car will use the engine capacity between 1.2 liters or 1.3-liter four-cylinder," as reported by Kurihara I autoevolution, Monday (5/3/2010).

But he was still keeping the other details regarding the presence of these Mitsubishi small car. Hanay he promised more information will come at the same time displaying a prototype of this car in the next international automotive exhibition.

Currently the smallest model is issued Mitsubishi Colt engine that uses powerful 1,100 cc 75 hp with a torque of 100 Nm at 4,000 rpm.

After Colt, a car with a fairly compact dimensions issued by the ASX Mitsubishi crossover to market in Europe after his first appearance at Geneva Auto Show, March ago.

The car also has another name RVR using 1,800 cc direct-injection engine created by Mitsubishi Motors Corp. (MMC) and Mistubishi Heavy Industries, which is paired with a six-speed manual transmission. As for markets in Japan there is also a choice of CVT transmission type.

Rizwan further explained that this car will be shaped as the name that is tiny. Because that's expected selling price of this car will be suppressed.

"If it be produced, hopefully Indonesia will goto the allotment," he said.

Currently the Indonesian government is currently preparing a major project a make environmentally friendly cars but cheap, because the plan will be released at a price of about USD 75-80 million only.

Several car manufacturers have shown interest. And the closest is the Daihatsu had even made a concept car called the F-Concept which gives a chance for cheap car plans.

SPESIFIKASI Proton | Saga Listrik

Talk about environmentally friendly cars, Proton already have them. In the arena of Indonesia International Motor Show, Proton showcase the power of technology embedded in the Proton Saga.

EV Proton Saga has a lithium ion polymer battery which can produce 15 kWh of energy. Battery charging time to reach 6-8 hours. Proton also provides rapid charging version just an hour. Once the battery charge is sufficient to explore Jakarta to Bandung.

Saga EV electric motor performance is pretty tough. Of 000-100 km per hour can be reached by 12 seconds. The maximum speed can reach 110 km per hour ie.

According to the Detroit Electric told Down Jones News Agency, the contract is valid for five years. In the first year, Proton is expected to reach a revenue of 1.2 billion ringgit Malaysia.

The Dutch company plans to sell 40,000 battery as a power source of Proton cars to be produced at the plant in Tanjong Malim first year.

Magnetic Flux Motorcycle engine technology and Lithium Polymer batteries that have been tested both as a source of energy is expected to support speeds. With Lithium batteries the car can travel a distance of 180 km (111 miles) to the model city range and 325 km (200 miles) for extended range model.

In the production schedule, electric cars will be produced as many as 270,000 units during the first four years. Management said Detroit Electric was first electric car will be shown to the public in February 2010.

Detroit Electric CEO Albert Lam said the base of the vehicle using the Proton gen-2 and Persona with minor modifications. While relying on lithium battery power source that produced Detroit.

Lam confident with such a large project and estimates there will be demand for as many as between 120,000 to 150,000 units. He said the market will grow rapidly associated with the government's insistence that more intense focus on environmental and green technology sectors.

The car is planned, will be sold with prices ranging from 23,000 dollars to 33,000 U.S. dollars. It all depends on the size of the battery because it is very influential on mileage.


Proton Saga EV (Electric Vehicle) white colour it comes with 12 packs of lithium ion polymer battery which can generate 125 kW power.

Driven by system 5-speed manual transmission, Saga EV could issue a power of 168 hp through a ditopangnya electric battery.

When the power source is exhausted, the battery can be recharged within 6-8 hours. In the full condition, the battery can be used to cover the distance as far as 109 km.

Although equipped with electric motors, but the power of this little sedan is almost equivalent to conventional-engined variant. In order to accelerate from 0-100 km / h Saga EV only takes 12 seconds with a maximum speed reaches 161 km / hour.

Unfortunately, PT Proton Edar Indonesia (PEI) as the sole agent Proton cars in the country not intend to market electric-powered cars.


When compared with the Persona car gasoline, the cost of course cheaper. Saga EV for each km only need USD 120 only, or Rp 3.6 million per year while the Persona USD 360 per km, or Rp 10.8 million per year.

Another advantage is the owner of the Proton EV was not necessary to the gas station. Charging the battery is done at home or at work. Practical is not it?

This electric technology does not only apply to only Saga, Proton plans as stated by Proton Holdings Berhad Managing Director Dato 'Syed Zainal Abidin Syed Mohamed Tahir will install an electric motor to the other Proton cars.

Meanwhile, for its application in Indonesia, Proton requested the preparation of the government's electricity infrastructure.

SPESIFIKASI Tawon Transformer | Mobil Nasional

Event Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS) 2010 took place lively. But behind the festive prestigious car shows, national car Wasps looked cornered.

Wasps produced by PT Super Gasindo Jaya (SGJ) were cornered in the arena of IIMS 2010. Wasps Transformer SGJ featuring only simple. Indonesia mobnas even this is not appearing behind closed doors but just being in the road corridor in the arena of the JI Expo.

"It's okay, the important thing we can look here. Moreover, this prestigious exhibition, we are very proud to be here," said President Director SGJ, Nyoto Kuntoaji in the arena of IIMS 2010, Kemayoran, Jakarta.

More and more tragic, when the opening yesterday Wasps had no official recognition by the Vice President Boediono. GMU economists are just coming stand-manufacturer of large car manufacturers like Toyota, Honda, Mitsubishi or Daihatsu.

Wasp itself is a genuine car production in the country who designed, developed and produced by the children of the nation.

Wasps plans will go on sale two months or less retreated from the original plan in July 2010. "Two months away with the price of USD 40 million alone," said Nyoto.

Wasps that will be marketed later by Nyoto is Wasp, which brought 650 cc engine capacity of domestic production.

Transformer is a mini pickup, designed as a vehicle for rural areas. Further, these vehicles use engines designed by the BPPT (Ir Ir Nyoman Suparto Sujatmo and Honest). He will be sold at between Rp 30 million and Rp 35 million. Carburizing supply system (carburetor) is chosen for an affordable price and enables those living in the village to maintain and improve it.

"We are preparing Transformer with full-body press. Later this year will be the engine endurance test. After that, newly manufactured, "said Njoto.

AG Hornet
Another product on display was the AG SGJ Hornet. This small car similar to the hare. "There are three doors. Later developed into a five-door with better performance, "beber Njoto.

AG Hornet 650 cc engine, produces power 20.6 kW (27.5 PS), and targeted as a substitute for Bajaj in Jakarta. According Njoto, now there's no new permits for three-wheel vehicles to transport passengers.

"Instead, we offer a Hornet. We have received recommendations from the Department of Transportation. However, permission from Gurbenur Establishments that we wait since one and a half years ago until now would not go out, "beber Njoto. In fact, ever be asked again, the file is unknown!

Njoto and his colleagues do not despair! Despite his pride cornered product position, he still berlega and enthusiasts claim to be able to filter enough. "They transport businessmen from outside Jakarta," I Njoto.

Enthusiasts, among others came from Serang (Banten) and Makasssar (South Sulawesi). Explained, enthusiasts are already pocketed a license to operate as public transportation vehicles. For this, according to Njoto, Hornet sold USD 40 million.

Of the thousands of visitors every day, only a few people who seriously ask questions and want to watch Transformers this seriously.

Because the format is similar to F-Concept of Daihatsu inside air-conditioned hall, Njoto pleaded not afraid to face the car was also used as a cheap car project. The reason, "Daihatsu injection system. The price is definitely more expensive. Most cheap USD 50 million. "

Apparently, some officials who were visiting Daihatsu IIMS on the first day was also invited by the management SGJ to see one of their products, AG Hornet. According to Dewa Yuniardi, Director of Sales SGJ, on his Facebook, Daihatsu officials could see and observe Hornet directly.

Not only that, but even then leaked when Nyoto SGJ is currently developing a new engine with a capacity of 500 cc which was developed together with a friend.

And if there is no hindrance crosswise, Wasp-engined 500 cc they will be marketed next year.

SPESIFIKASI FT-EV | Mobil Hijau Toyota | Mirip Mainan

Mobil Hijau Toyota Yang Mirip Mainan

Toyota seem to continue to strive to become a leader in technological innovation in the field of environmentally friendly cars. And cute car Toyota Future Electric Vehicle, or abbreviated as FT-EV, an example, which you can physically see in Indonesia International Motor Show.

This is the second generation development of the FT-EV. Positioned as the embryo of a future city car that relies on electricity as a source of energy. The form is an ultra compact, equipped with a sliding door that can accommodate four passengers in comfort, although we know, the FT-EV looks very cute dimensions.

Auxiliary Design window under the windscreen and panoramic roof made the view out from inside the cabin large enough, so they can support safety around the vehicle.

FT-EV also already applied the drive-by-wire technology, with the rudder joystick, which can operate all functions including akselarator, brakes, the wheel, so that both can be stretched legs freely without activity.

And not only designed as a means of transportation,the FT-EV is also a communication tool as well as seekers of information for the driver, with many advanced features that applied to the electric car Toyota.


"Prius and the FT-EV II that we represent at IIMS 2010 in one embodiment of Toyota's vision untu presents an environmentally friendly vehicle technologies," said Johnny Darmawan, President Director of PT. Toyota Astra Motor in a press release Monday.

Prius has sold over 1.7 million units of the technology developed 'hybrid vehicles' (HV). Technology that makes the Prius hybrid can get power from the electric motor and a conventional engine. Based on the concept of HV, Toyota developed a Plug in Hybrid Vehicle (PHV) and Fuel-Cell Hybrid Vehicle (FCHV).

Besides the Prius, Toyota's seriousness in developing future-oriented vehicle was also seen in the FT-EV II, which is the development of TF-EV, the precursor of the 'city car' electric-powered future.

FT-EV II is a unique electric-powered vehicle that apply the technology 'drive by wire' with steering wheel-like 'joy stick' that can manage all the functions such as brake, gearshift, brake, and steering.

Silent when driven, comes with a 'panoramic window', zero emissions, and even design as a means of communication and information seekers, the FT-EV II is a reflection of the future of urban vehicles.

"Certainly all the thoroughness of this innovation is expected to bring goodness to all parties," said Johnny Darmawan

"FT-EV which we represent in IIMS 2010 This is a manifestation of Toyota's vision
in presenting the environmentally friendly vehicle technologies, "explains Head, Product Planning Department, PT Toyota-Astra Motor, Achmad Rizal, at the Toyota booth IIMS.

President director of PT Astra International Tbk Prijono Sugiarto a chance to see this funny car also had a brief comment. "Oh yes much like a toy car," he said.

Indeed, judging from the FT-EV kokpit II is like a toy car, thanks to the steering system such as the joystick games.

Cars that are smaller than the IQ concept car last year Toyota brought to Indonesia also has a wider leg space. Because the brake, and gas is set by the joystick function earlier.

This futuristic car designed for short trips and offers high visibility with the monitor near the dashboard that could monitor the condition of the rear car.

2011 Explorer Reveal

So yesterday was National Explorer Reveal Day.  I won't re-write what you have no doubt already read from many other source.

Here is a nice slide show of the reveal in Dearborn, from the Examiner.  Apparently, worried that people would get the idea that the new Explorer is an on-road machine only, Ford constructed a 30 foot high dirt hill (very well groomed) which they used to unveil the new Explorer.  

I think the vehicle looks great, inside and out, but it is a definite departure for Ford.  It is no longer PC to sell a truck which over-capable, primarily targeted at suburban families, who won't really ever drive it on off-road trails or tow anything heavier than a jet-ski trailer or pop up camper.   Ford looked at who was buying the old Explorer, and made a vehicle that appeals to a majority of those customers.  This will however alienate the few people who actually used the old Explorer as a heavy tow vehicle, or benefited from a real locking 4x4 system.

Uniquely, the bench in the middle can be folded to accommodate wheelchair users. Security sector in the bus was also noted. Namely by covering every iron grip with rubber material, which would make passengers safer during an impact.

Another thing that may be the attraction at the 180-powered engine vehicles J05D dk is also located in the sector an attractive exterior. With round lights on the front, and the form of houses that tend to round, make this bus looks sweet.

No wonder, with the uniqueness as well as safety and comfort, poncho many residential and tourist vehicles made in Japan since 2002. Unfortunately, Hino has not been interested in marketing the poncho in Indonesia. One of the causes for the lowest distance poncho to the ground is very low, so that did not match the road conditions in Indonesia.
