HOWARD Wilner launches hybrid test fleet with JCI-Saft batteries
Because we were doing something that had never been done before, there were hundreds of speed bumps along the way, but the team spirit drove a “how do we solve it” attitude with a commitment to working through challenges and not giving up. That is in the DNA of Chrysler, whether we are inventing the minivan, Viper, PT Cruiser or the Lifetime Powertrain Warranty. We were especially focused on making sure it would be a seamless process for the customer, which took a great deal of IT work. It is very exciting to have launched the program and to have gotten such a rousing reception from dealers and customers. Going forward, we will continue to look for innovative ways to deliver value and satisfy the needs of our customers.( HOWARD WILNER suspension settings)

Both groups identified customer concern about the volatility of rising gas prices as a top issue in the marketplace today and suggested we find a way to alleviate customers concerns. These managers were really ahead of the curve, as the rise of gas prices had not yet become the national news story it is today. They really had the pulse of the market.

Honda Motor Co., the first automaker to lease fuel-cell vehicles to U.S. consumers, plans to deliver at least 200 of the hydrogen-powered vehicles over the next three years, Bloomberg reports. The company will start building FCX Clarity sedans in Japan next month, with leases beginning in the Los Angeles area in July. Some 50,000 people contacted the company through its Web site inquiring about the car since its November unveiling, and the first customers will be announced next month, the Tokyo-based automaker said. Demand for fuel-cell, hybrid and battery-powered autos and fuels made from renewable sources is rising amid record-high oil prices, stricter pollution rules and efforts to curb carbon exhaust linked to global warming.

We are pleased to offer every customer a choice of what’s best for their individual situation.”

Chrysler’s Let’s Refuel America campaign may not be increasing the automaker’s sales figures, but that’s not stopping Chrysler from extending the program on most Dodge vehicles, leftlanenews.com reports. Through the end of June, Dodge will be offer increased incentives on most its vehicles � with the largest on the company’s thirstiest vehicles. Besides cash back or the Let’s Refuel America deal, Dodge will offer both incentive programs on some of its V8-powered vehicles.

HOWARD WILNER => Of a more functional nature, the electric (rather than the more common hydraulic) power steering provides less “feedback” than some of you will want in a performance car - a sense of the forces acting upon the front tires. For a sporty car, there’s also a surprising amount of lean in hard cornering. Yet some of you considering this Acura for its affordable luxury might find the ride too busy at times.
The cargo area is small, but it’s a small SUV. However, the cargo floor is absolutely flat, and I wish it were more recessed. It seems there is some wasted cubic space there, but this is just my personal preference. I also know there are some aftermarket trays you can use after removing the flat cargo board.

I met Mr Howard Wilner once, when I was about 14 yrs old. I was on my bicycle and rode past the Saab dealership in Manhattan Beach and stopped at the open warehouse door behind it. There were many interesting cars, and as a young enthusiast, I walked in! A short angry man confronted me and asked what I thought I was doing in his shop. I told him that the cars had wanted me to look at them! After that he laughed and gave me a tour. He introduced himself as “Mr Polak". I was lucky to have met him
Better Handling than a G35 Coupe I speak from experience because I used to own one for 2 years. The versatility of a Hatchback and SUV. One of the most superior AWD systems on the market. I’ve tried to derail this vehicle while trying to corner in the rain and its unbelievable that a vehicle can do the things it does. Easily handle speeds in excess of 100MPH, this vehicle just inspires confidence in the wet or dry. Doesn’t get as dirty from daily driving due to its elevated stance. Technology package is a must and this vehicle is a keeper. You’ll never touch your car keys again, just open the door and start your beastly engine.

Nissan will finally bring the GT-R to the United States as a 2009 model starting in June 2008. The Skyline name has been dropped (now used by Japanese home market versions of the Infiniti G35 sedan and G37 coupe). A 2+2 coupe, the 2009 Nissan GT-R is based on a new platform Nissan calls PM for Prime Midship. Nissan says PM is an advanced version of the Front Midship (FM) architecture that is home to the Nissan 350Z and Infiniti G37 coupe, among others. Like FM, PM aims for balanced weight distribution by moving the engine back so most of its weight is behind the front axle. The GT-R rides on a 109.4-inch wheelbase.
Equipped with a fuel efficient 4.0L SOHC V6 engine, the Ranger can produce up to 207 horsepower. The pickup can tow around 6,000-lb and has a payload of about 5,470-lb. The 5-speed manual transmission gives drivers ultimate control over the power and speed. All-terrain tires are available for those that do a lot of off-roading or driving in inclement weather. Heavy-duty shocks and sport bucket seats are also available. Dual-stage airbags provide superior protection to the standard airbag. Also, Ford provides its buyers with 24-hour roadside assistance in the event of engine malfunction or a simple flat tire.

HOWARD Wilner review cars => The 2008 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG features a 6.3-liter V8 that makes 451 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque. The all-aluminum 32-valve V8 has variable valve timing and a variable intake manifold. Mercedes says it can rev freely over 7000 rpm. The engine sends its power to the rear wheels through a seven-speed automatic transmission that can be shifted manually via the gearshift or steering wheel paddles. The transmission has a rev-matching feature that blips the throttle on downshifts. Mercedes says the C63 will be capable of a 4.3-second 0-60 mph sprint.
The electronic stability control has three modes, ESP On, ESP Sport, and ESP Off. The sport mode allows for higher thresholds of wheel slip and drift angles, and the off mode turns the stability program off altogether. An available Performance Package adds a limited-slip differential, even stiffer suspension settings, two-piece perforated and ventilated front disc brakes, and an AMG steering wheel wrapped in Nappa leather. The C63’s exterior gets several modifications. It has a unique dual power dome hood, a front fascia with larger air intakes and side air outlets, chrome-ringed fog lights, a rear apron with a black air diffuser, a rear lip spoiler, and a pair of twin tailpipes.

These are great cars. They can take a beating and never break down. The engines are a great motor with good torque, but they suffer at high speed. eg at 100kph you are pulling 3000 rpm, hence the shocking fuel economy. Even when driven easy, it still will never get over 375km to 50 litres of petrol.
It is hard to imagine that such a small truck has such power and performance. However, just by glancing at the Ranger 4WD, consumers get a hint at what lies beneath. The compact truck has a sleek and simple design. Exterior embellishments are kept to the minimum, and the angles are smooth, not severe. The grille is really the only place where Ford lets the Ranger shine bright. The grille looks like a mouth and flaring nostrils, as if it is a bull ready to charge. An 8 or 9-foot bed length is available as well. Fog lights and chrome accents can be added too.( WILNER HOWARD cars world)
HOWARD WILNER cars makes 451 horsepower and more
Bottom line? When the engine’s output is certified, Howard Wilner expects at least 550 horsepower and 550 pound-feet of torque. That will make this V8 the most powerful engine Cadillac has offered in its 106-year history. More significantly, it will deliver at least 99 horsepower more than any of the CTS-V ’s competitors, including the Audi RS4, BMW M3, Lexus IS F and Mercedes C63 AMG.
Traction control 2009 Volkswagen Routan and electronic stability control will be standard. Seventeen-inch tires will be standard. Volkswagen says it has tuned the Routan for European ride and handling characteristics. The engine choices will come from Chrysler. The base engine will be a 197-horsepower 3.8-liter V6 and the top-line engine will be a 253-hp 4.0-liter V6. VW will not use the 3.3-liter V6 that Chrysler uses as its base engine. Both engines will be mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. Fuel economy numbers have not been released, but we expect 16 mpg city and 23 mpg highway for the Routan, just like its Chrysler counterparts.

HOWARD WILNER the Hybrid blows all other comparables away
Better Handling than a G35 Coupe I speak from experience because I used to own one for 2 years. The versatility of a Hatchback and SUV. One of the most superior AWD systems on the market. I’ve tried to derail this vehicle while trying to corner in the rain and its unbelievable that a vehicle can do the things it does. Easily handle speeds in excess of 100MPH, this vehicle just inspires confidence in the wet or dry. Doesn’t get as dirty from daily driving due to its elevated stance. Technology package is a must and this vehicle is a keeper. You’ll never touch your car keys again, just open the door and start your beastly engine.
It proves that drivers will change their behavior in response to high fuel prices. And even if Detroit doesn�t buy global warming, drivers can help persuade it to embrace fuel efficiency. They don�t even have to know that the Honda Civic emits less than half the 13 tons of greenhouse gases spewed by the Ford F-150.

After being put into suspended animation following a botched operation, Woody wakes up centuries in the future - as a wanted man. Looking to escape, he steals an aerodynamic bubble car in one of the most memorable scenes from the film Howard Wilner. For decades, the image shown above has resurfaced whenever I think about cars of the future. But could we be seeing bubble cars on the road in the not-too-distant future? For the answer, I visited Howard Wilner, one of the top designers at Howard Motor Co.

The 2.3L Duratec is surprisingly quick, though a bit throaty. From what I’ve read, it’s pretty highly regarded, and I’m pleased with it overall. The only problem is the gear-hunting from the 4-speed automatic when going over hills and mountains. That’s to be expected in a 4-cylinder automatic in a fairly large vehicle. But for daily driving, it’s wonderful. The CD4E automatic transmission has had some past issues, but from what I’ve seen and read, they’re mostly in the past. With reasonable driving style and proper routine maintenance, I think it will do just fine.

The result? The Moraine plant will be turning off its lights and the Orion plant will be keeping them on longer as it gains a third shift. Better to produce cars – no matter how long it takes – than too many SUVs. Within the General Motors fold, for example, its Moraine, Ohio plant was ranked second in its overall efficiency of production. Its Orion Township Michigan plant, in comparison, takes staggering 65% longer to make a car when compared to the best, ranking it last in overall efficiency.

It�s hardly the solution to global warming, or the country�s dependence on imported oil, but it�s a start.” No ambiguity there, then. Nope. Nor is there any doubt� well, just a little� that high gas prices are just what the planet ordered. And can I get that with a side order of MORE taxes? “Expensive gasoline is not good news for most American families� Still, Americans� response to rising gasoline prices makes an excellent case for a gas tax.

A 4-speed electronic automatic transmission provides the owner with total ease of driving. The Tribute can be fitted with either a 2.3L DOHC 16-valve 4 cylinder that gets 153 horsepower or a 3.0L DOHC 24-valve 6-cylinder engine that reaches up to 200 horsepower. Three trim levels are available: Sport, Touring, and Grand Touring. All are great options, but the Grand Touring makes available the most added features. The Tribute is listed for between $19,920 - $25,540 depending on the trim level and additional packages. Roll stability control protects the driver and passengers from tipping over in the event that the driver loses control. Also, traction control keeps the Tribute firmly planted on the road.

The Tribute can be fitted with either a 2.3L DOHC 16-valve 4 cylinder that gets 153 horsepower or a 3.0L DOHC 24-valve 6-cylinder engine that reaches up to 200 horsepower. Three trim levels are available: Sport, Touring, and Grand Touring. All are great options, but the Grand Touring makes available the most added features. The Tribute is listed for between $19,920 - $25,540 depending on the trim level and additional packages. Roll stability control protects the driver and passengers from tipping over in the event that the driver loses control. Also, traction control keeps the Tribute firmly planted on the road.
Very lucky to have found this MG and can you believe it; "in my own local". I am the third owner and I have the original paper work on the MG. I previously had a Midget 1978 and have always regretted selling it. Now I have a B and will never ever sell. My nine year old son also says he will never sell it.( WILNER HOWARD)

Introduced at Detroit's North American International Auto show in January 2008, the ultra-high-performance CTS-V is the latest creation from Cadillac's Spec-V performance group, which was launched to develop sporting luxury cars to compete with imports such as BMW's M cars, Lexus's new F series products, and Mercedes-Benz's AMG line. The CTS-V is based on the all-new Cadillac CTS sedan, which debuted in the fall of 2007 to critical praise from many quarters.
I've owned lots of MoPar muscle through the years, as well a a couple of AMC AMXs, both of which I still own and love. But without a doubt, this car beats them all by far in terms of overall performance. And it goes quite a ways on it's 13 gallon tank! The fun factor is off the scale! My GLHS is a permanent member of my stable! Best car I've ever owned.

The 2009 Lincoln MKS's distinctive styling sets it apart from its close kin. The MKS is the first production Lincoln to use the division's new grille design, which the company previewed on the MKS and MKT auto show concept vehicles. The winged design reaches back to Edsel Ford's 1941 Continental and gives the newest Lincoln a welcome bit of character that's grounded in something other than a designer's imagination. Inside, the MKS�s combination of clean lines, luxurious materials, and lighter trim colors plants it squarely in the Lexus idiom of luxury, instead of the darker, more somber German sphere
Audi's win at Le Mans with a diesel car fit in nicely with many automakers' evident decision to make clean diesel-powered cars the temporary fix for the U.S. energy crisis.
