			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Internet offers an exciting new market for consumer which, in many cases, provides to access to products throughout the world, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

<p>Nowadays, the <a href="http://www.easyexport.us/" target="_blank">car auctions</a> also take place online. In the car auctions, you can also buy old and used vehicles. There are sold different types of cars, those which were sent back because the lease has expired and cars that were used for the rent. There are also salvage cars that are sold by banks and insurance companies. Vehicles that have good demand in the market along with the cars that are not so popular will be auctioned through online car auction. There are people who love to buy exotic cars and for them the online auction is very helpful because they can see all kinds of cars at the same time. </p>
<p>If you think about a salvage car or looking for something within affordable range, the salvage auction is the right things to spend money. Actually the salvage cars were insured with the insurance company. If the cars meet with accidents, if they are insured then the insurance would assess all the damage. But if the repair cost is much more than the insurance value then they go at auctions of <a href="http://www.easyexport.us/salvage-cars-for-sale/" target="_blank">salvage cars for sale</a>. The purchase of a salvage car is the best option if someone is new to driving. You can buy salvage cars with cheaper rates. It is really very beneficial to purchase a salvage car from the car auction as it saves money and time.</p>

<p><a href="http://auto-week.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Volkswagen-CC.jpg"><img src="http://auto-week.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Volkswagen-CC.jpg" alt="Volkswagen CC" title="Volkswagen CC" width="450" height="300" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2189" /></a> </p>
<p>Stylish, sporty, or just convenient &#8211; sets the tone right where the customer wants it. The figure emphasizes, for example, a new exhaust hood at the rear of the Volkswagen CC. Thus, the coupe advanced by the tapered shape, the highly polished stainless steel muffler and a diameter of 76 millimeters to the optical epitome of sportsmanship. </p>
<p>Little effort, lots of action also shows the rear spoiler from the accessories program, through which shows the vehicle is still aerodynamic.

<p><a href="http://auto-week.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Volkswagen-CC-2.jpg"><img src="http://auto-week.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Volkswagen-CC-2.jpg" alt="Volkswagen CC" title="Volkswagen CC " width="449" height="285" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2190" /></a></p>
<p>Cleanliness can not harm: a luggage compartment tray with CC logo protects so before dirt.

In addition, in the offer: bike, kayak, ski and snowboard rack or roof box. Form the base for all roof structures of the city crash-tested basic support from Volkswagen accessories. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Unforgettable is the Peugeot 205 GTi, which was hit in the 1980s, higher than sporty small car, the hearts of car enthusiasts. With the &#8220;GTi Concept&#8221; can resurrect the myth of the French, who knows how to convince even under the hood with pure power. From the first moment, visually impressive, is the study based on the brand new Peugeot 208 price-not right away all its secrets. </p>
<p><a href="http://auto-week.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Peugeot-208-GTi-Concept.jpg"><img src="http://auto-week.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Peugeot-208-GTi-Concept.jpg" alt="Peugeot 208 GTi Concept" title="Peugeot 208 GTi Concept" width="450" height="300" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2179" /></a></p>
<p>It is characterized by the deep red and black color reflections of body paint. Upon closer inspection reveals roof hood and then its secret: a racing flag pattern shimmers from beneath the multiple layers of paint and varnish. The best friends in motor racing motif adorn known as the metal mesh of the grille at the base of which you can also discover the French national flag as a proud symbol of origin. As a special contrast carry the cooler and the bottom bar of the rear bumper cover, a black painting. </p>
<p>Red color accents on the 18-inch diamond wheels, on the inner surfaces of the twin chrome exhaust and a red mark engraved on the front grille design in detail in addition to stress. At the rear part is the logo of the &#8220;GTi Concept&#8221; made of brushed aluminum &#8211; a winking reference to its legendary ancestors, the Peugeot 205 GTI. </p>
<p>Charisma shows the concept car based on the special light signature of Peugeot 208 with exquisite features such as full LED and a lighting design of the latest generation. The special &#8220;eye&#8221; effect is due to the well-equipped with full LED indicators, for the welt of them associated with the beam iris of an eye. High technology development is reflected in the elaborately designed optics, geometric elements in the lamps and a floating decorative element on the beam, which is reminiscent of the pupil of a cat. </p>
<p>The Peugeot 208, the new reality of forms of the brand, which is reflected in every detail, such as in an elegant, flowing and yet aggressive front panel or the boomerang rear lights look. The little lion is distinguished by a sophisticated, clean design, which embeds it in an emotional world of sensuality and energy. </p>
<p>Underline this appearance is actually the plastic uplift and downward tapering grille with a chrome border, and the sharp, irregular shape of the headlights. The contoured hood, the concave side panels and dynamically designed rear with the LED tail lights and the roof edge spoiler, the roof continues the modeling work, balanced. Other accents in the side view of a metal bar under the window that runs from front to back swinging. </p>
<p><a href="http://auto-week.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Peugeot-208-GTi-Concept-2.jpg"><img src="http://auto-week.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Peugeot-208-GTi-Concept-2.jpg" alt="Peugeot 208 GTi Concept" title="Peugeot 208 GTi Concept" width="450" height="300" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2181" /></a></p>
<p>The &#8220;GTi Concept&#8221; was only an only motorization in question: that of the RCZ THP 200. With the 1.6 THP under the hood, a 6-speed manual gearbox and a completely redesigned architecture of the cockpit &#8211; as in the standard counterpart Peugeot 208 &#8211; the driver controls a vehicle that it opens up new dimensions of driving experience. The performance data was not known Peugeot. But 200 hp in a small car more than provide a strong draft. </p>
<p>Its excellent performance is due to the &#8220;GTi Concept&#8221; of a compact architecture and low weight &#8211; sporty and with a bite. This is favored by a front and rear by 36 millimeters wider track and the sport spoiler that stabilizes the vehicle with plenty of drive. The &#8220;GTI Concept&#8221; is also equipped with four large disc brakes (302 mm front, 249 mm rear) and red painted brake calipers and breaks the athletic claim accordingly. </p>
<p>It is extremely athletic on the inside: alcantara leather with gray stitching on the dashboard view, contrasting with a black roof lining and aluminum pedals. In fine gradations combined red and black can be found on the instrument panel and air vents. On the aluminum handles of the door panel on the other hand turn the racing flag pattern is indicated. </p>
<p>A sporty driving experience indicates the seat of three different materials &#8211; references in the side panels in nappa leather, in the middle part of checkered plaid, head restraints in leather &#8211; and the steering wheel with a pronounced lower flat, the aluminum-ring logo of the &#8220;GTi Concept&#8221; bears. Another clever detail proves to be the red perforated steering wheel rim, which takes up the racing flag motif again. </p>
<p>The small steering wheel allows the driver a direct contact with its car. Thanks to the high-mounted instrument cluster dials with brushed aluminum and perfectly constructed scale division are all important driving data on the speed of the speed up to the temperature in the line of sight of the driver. A red LED backlighting in the boundary of the circular instruments rounds out the action from optically.</p>

<p><a href="http://auto-week.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Audi-RS4-Avant-2012.jpg"><img src="http://auto-week.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Audi-RS4-Avant-2012.jpg" alt="Audi RS4 Avant" title="Audi RS4 Avant" width="450" height="300" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2171" /></a></p>
<p>The 4.2 liter eight-cylinder engine develops a whopping 331 kW (450 hp) and brings in just 4.7 seconds from 0 to 100. The top speed ending at 250 km / h, there is an option but an open circuit to 280 km / h. Deliver the entire force stand up to be able to work behind the chic 19 inches high-performance brakes in the so-called &#8220;wave-design&#8221;.</p>
<p>The frame held in matt aluminum look includes the hexagonal single-frame grille, diamond lattice whose mission was held in anthracite. The wedge-shaped headlights are LED daytime running lights on again set the scene better. </p>
<p>Overall, the RS4 Avant was in contrast to the A4 Avant by 20 millimeters in length and 24 mm in width, which should give it a distinctive and unique appearance. The interior was equipped with the finest materials made of carbon and leather. </p>
<p>The Hungarian plant in Gyor assembled by hand FSI engine it should be satisfied on average with less than 11 liters per 100 km. After the experience with the RS5 a spring on the accelerator is required but for this usage probably. </p>
<p><a href="http://auto-week.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Audi-RS4-Avant-2012-2.jpg"><img src="http://auto-week.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Audi-RS4-Avant-2012-2.jpg" alt="Audi RS4 Avant 2012 " title="Audi RS4 Avant 2012 " width="450" height="300" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2172" /></a></p>
<p>The maximum torque of 430 nm brings the RS4 avant thanks to quattro playfully on the road. Up to 70 percent to the front and can transfer up to 85 to the rear. By default, the RS4 Avant wagon with 40:60 votes is highlighted moves. This provides the standard seven-speed DSG gearbox for a smooth and especially fast progress.</p>
<p>It is shifted either automatically or manually using paddles on the steering wheel. About the standard Audi drive select system; this can be characteristic of the steering, the S-Tronic and the throttle valve to switch between modes, Comfort, Auto and Dynamic. In the dynamic program grumpy exhaust system then moves on to peak performance and commented on the driving process with ear-friendly intermediate gas shocks. </p>
<p>The elaborately designed chassis is largely made of aluminum. It compared to the A4, the RS whopping 20 mm deep on the road. Who will be the sports suspension plus with Dynamic Ride Control (DRC) orders will benefit from the adjustable damping in three votes. So the ride is also the driver for kindergarten fun. We are looking forward to the first driving impressions.</p>

<p><a href="http://auto-week.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Delta4x4-Ford-Ranger.jpg"><img src="http://auto-week.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Delta4x4-Ford-Ranger.jpg" alt="Delta4x4 Ford Ranger" title="Delta4x4 Ford Ranger" width="450" height="300" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2162" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Audi goes beyond its own dimensions and uses more power. The new Audi TT RS plus wants only one thing: speed and adrenaline. As a coupe, as well as the compact sports car roadster impresses in spring 2012 with a tremendous performance. The achievement increased five-cylinder turbo comes now on 360 hp that enables a breathtaking sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in only 4.1 seconds. Also in the top speed, Audi drops regulate one thereon, instead of this in the usual 250 km/h.  </p>
<p><a href="http://auto-week.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Audi-TT-RS-plus.jpg"><img src="http://auto-week.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Audi-TT-RS-plus.jpg" alt="Audi TT RS plus" title="Audi TT RS plus" width="450" height="300" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2149" /></a></p>
<p>The 2.5-liter TFSI in the Audi TT RS plus achieved in relation to its base 20 hp more power and an increase of 15 Nm of torque. The result: 360 hp and 465 Nm. Of the transmission are a manual six-speed gearbox and the lightning fast switching seven-speed S-Tronic to choose. The dual-clutch gearbox has a launch control function, which optimizes acceleration from a standing start. The permanent all-wheel drive, which operates with a multi-disc clutch, brings the motor sovereign powers on the road. </p>
<p>It accompanied by the characteristic growl of the tubes and five-cylinder engine, catapults the Coupe with &#8220;S tronic&#8221; in just 4.1 seconds (4.3 seconds with manual transmission) from a standstill to 100 km / h. The roadster completed the same exercise in 4.2 seconds (4.4 seconds with manual transmission). Top speed is limited for all variants at 280 km / h. At 100 kilometers, the coupe is content with the &#8220;S tronic&#8221; in the middle with just 8.5 liters of fuel; the roadster is 8.6 liters per 100 kilometers. Whether that will provide prospective owners with a spirited driving style probably is questionable. </p>
<p>These top values are due not only to numerous efficiency measures, especially the lightweight bodies in the &#8220;Audi Space Frame&#8221; (ASF), and consist of aluminum in the front and the rear sheet steel. The manual transmission coupe brings, including the all-wheel drive, only 1450 kg on the scales. This results in a weight ratio of 4.0 kg / hp for the coupe and 4.2 kg / hp in the roadster. </p>
<p>The high-performance brake system is the power of the engine each time grown. At the front 4-piston calipers sit in conjunction with perforated brake discs. The Audi TT RS plus rolls on 19-inch cast wheels in the five-arm rotor design and are painted black, while red rim flanges set accents. The tires are size 255/35. </p>
<p><a href="http://auto-week.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Audi-TT-RS-plus-2.jpg"><img src="http://auto-week.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Audi-TT-RS-plus-2.jpg" alt="Audi TT RS plus" title="Audi TT RS plus" width="450" height="300" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2150" /></a></p>
<p>Optionally, the adaptive damping system &#8220;Audi Magnetic Ride&#8221; is available. The system uses magnetic fields in the oil-pressure shock absorbers, for how it works within milliseconds to the requirements of the road and the driver&#8217;s style align. </p>
<p>Even at first glance does the brawny-compact, just 4.20 meters long trial bike full potential of expression. The apron is &#8211; like a race car &#8211; down into a splitter. Diamond-shaped inserts indicate the large square enclosed air intakes. On the flanks, the major side wheels and strong accents, while the rear features a prominent diffusers. A large, fixed-mounted wing increases downforce on request at the rear. </p>
<p>For the optical differentiation of the Audi TT RS plus contributes to the single-frame radiator grille: its diamond lattice is high-gloss anthracite and the decorative frame in matt aluminum look. The exterior mirror housings are made of carbon fiber. The dual exhaust system in which sharpens a sound damper the engine sound carries further, oval, black tailpipe trims. </p>
<p>The dynamic appearance of the Audi TT RS Plus continues in the interior. The multi-function leather sports steering wheel has a thick rim is flattened at the bottom and trimmed in perforated leather. The instrument cluster integrated driver information system includes a display for boost pressure and oil temperature and a lap timer, which can hold the driver&#8217;s lap times. The design package &#8220;Carbon&#8221; refined the engine compartment, the knob of the selector lever or switch also carries an aluminum-look trim ring and a &#8220;TT RS plus&#8221; badge. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many buyers constantly researching how to find good cars, but few of us know how to get the car of our need at a good price. The price of many new vehicles is so high and consumers are considering used vehicles offer a good alternative. The buyer wants to find a used car at a fair price that is safe and reliable. Before you start looking for the best deal on a used vehicle, ask yourself the same questions as you would if you were to buy a new car and you can get more information at <a target=_blank href="http://www.autousatexas.com/">Dallas best used cars</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://auto-week.com/what-to-know-before-buying-a-used-car.html/"><img src="http://auto-week.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/what-to-know-before-buying-a-used-car.jpg" alt="what to know before buying a used car" title="what to know before buying a used car" width="450" height="280" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2145" /></a></p>
<p>Below are some important tips you should know before buying the used car. And if you think necessary, take a mechanic to give you an overview to the car you want to buy.</p>
<p><strong>Painting</strong>: See and touch around the exhaust, moldings and windows as well as every part of the body, so that you realize if the car is patching, poorly painted or bring some bumps and scrapes.</p>
<p><strong>Tires</strong>: Check the pressure of each tire and wear of the tread to see if require alignment or change.</p>
<p><strong>Electrical</strong>: This is one of the most important, since repairs of this system are often the most debilitating because they are not easy to identify and sometimes expensive repairs. You should check the operation of lights and signals, radio, air conditioning, such as <a target=_blank href="http://www.oldairproducts.com/catalog/1965-72-camaro/1969-camaro-c-120131979_120132053_120132056_120132061.html">1969 camaro air conditioning</a> and lifts the glass if necessary. You should remember that there is never any guarantee for electrical parts.</p>
<p><strong>Interior</strong>: You should check that the trim is not too worn, burned or broken, like the compartments. Lift the carpet and look for evidence of leaks, floods or rust in the trunk. That has no welded parts such as door handles, mirrors, control buttons or other accessory.</p>
<p>After all if you want to buy a used car, the fundamental decision is from Private or Dealer. The purchase of private car holds many dangers because without warranty and hardly have the opportunity to sue the seller for defects. But the trader must give a warranty for the car. As a caution there are also the dubious dealer providers. You can usually rely only on your knowledge of human nature and some reliable deals such as <a target=_blank href="http://www.autousatexas.com/best_used_cars">best used car deals in dallas</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Opel Meriva gets more power-efficient engines and lowered consumption. The new LPG version 1.4 LPG Turbo ecoFLEX also with very low fuel costs, which may enjoy the bargain hunters. Furthermore, the Meriva thrilled by the proven concept with numerous seating configurations, and its counter-opening rear doors (FlexDoors), which allow a very comfortable and safe boarding. </p>
<p><a href="http://auto-week.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Opel-Meriva.jpg"><img src="http://auto-week.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Opel-Meriva.jpg" alt="Opel Meriva" title="Opel Meriva" width="450" height="300" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2133" /></a></p>
<p>The fuel-saving start/stop technology is available in the Meriva future for all levels of the 1.4-liter petrol engine. With its reduced consumption of the 120-hp version of previously 6.1 l/100 km to 5.7 l/100 km &#8211; that&#8217;s impressive 12 percent less than before. The new six-speed version of the Opel engineers have increased torque compared to the five-speed variation by 25 Nm to 200 Nm, or 14 percent. Thus, the flexible space can still be more relaxed and switching giant lazy. </p>
<p>For comfort-conscious diesel customers, Opel now offers a 110 PS 1.7 CDTI version with 6-speed automatic transmission. The new version with 160 g / km, but 8 grams of less CO2 per kilometer ejects 10 hp stronger than the previously offered 1.7-CDTI automatic version.

Between the modes you can switch by pressing a button. The gas operation uses the Meriva 1.4 LPG ecoFLEX in combined cycle just 7.6 l/100 km, which corresponds to CO2 emissions of 124 g / km. Thus, the CO2 emissions are running on gas, about 15 percent lower than comparable gasoline, LPG users may be compared at the pump up to 40 percent savings in fuel costs. </p>
