Together with the increase in the popularity of hybrid cars is the possible corresponding increase in risk of accidents and sacrifice of innocent lives due to too much silence when running on streets and highways.. We may think a noise free car is an advantage but think twice before you make your conclusion. “Hybrids are so quiet that pedestrians can't hear it when it's starting up or idling, and they often walk right into the path of the moving vehicle.” That’s what Gary Richards said in his article in www.mercurynews.com
He made an examination report to determine the silent danger that hybrids pose to pedestrians and passer-bys especially to those who rely on their hearing to cross a street. The National Federation of the Blind aired out their concerns regarding the risk posed by silent cars on pedestrians especially the hybrids to the National Highway Traffic Safety. They suggested to have a little noise for the hybrids to warn people walking nearby.
They also mentioned that a buzz from the radiator fan switch while the battery is in use would even do. Hybrid owners can look for such parts at Auto Parts Discount. Most GM and Honda Hybrid such as Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra hybrid pickup trucks, Civic Hybrid and Honda Insight could be an exemption since the electric battery can produce audible noise. On the other hand, Toyota Hybrid such as the Prius is included in the line-up of the silent cars.
Several personal experiences were presented although it is not backed up with real data or statistics that can prove the supposed silent danger of hybrid vehicles. However it can be considered as a warning to prevent the silent danger of hybrids lingering in the air from endangering innocent lives. Take note that an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.
General Motors made its final verdict of axing the Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird in 2002. Various speculations cropped up regarding the company’s decision but GM remained silent.
This year, GM revives the classic Camaro heritage and this time, it is equipped with new features that give it refreshed style, looks and performance. The release of the concept may imply that GM finally realized their mistake of ousting the Chevy Camaro from their line-up. The power and performance that embody the Camaro’s legacy returns with a blend of modern style and looks that give the sports coupe an over-all aura of confidence, and aggressiveness.
Waiting to be brought back to life is the 400-horsepower aluminum small-bock V-8 engine backed up by a six-speed manual transmission and muscled chassis with four-wheel independent suspension. The redesigned Camaro features an Active Fuel Management System as a response to the fuel-saving call of the times. Every detail of the car’s design is in-line with the company’s desire to satisfy the customer’s demand for power, comfort and functionality. “The Camaro Concept isn’t just a styled shape. The design incorporates what the vehicle needs to perform to its optimum level,” Tom Peters, design director, said.
So will Chevy Camaro finally drive its way back to the rugged road of success? Let’s wait and see if it does. In the meantime, why not maximize the potentials of your car with the best auto parts and accessories from Auto Parts Discount?

Ford, Dodge, Chevrolet and Cadillac are now heating up the European market with the revved up features and styles of the models included in their line-up. The refreshed models will be launched at the Geneva Auto Show with changes that are meant to match the trails and terrains of Europe. The demand for better fuel economy and gas mileage is also answered by the improved power trains.
First in line is the bold American style of Dodge with the Dodge Caliber hatchback and the Dodge Nitro SUV. Dieter Zetsche, Chief Executive of DaimlerChrysler's U.S. group, proudly said that Dodge is considered as the most American of all the brands in their line–up. They expect sales to increase from 90, 000 units sold last year to approximately 120,000 this year. That’s about 1.4% sales increase. In general, the cars are geared up with more muscle and power to attract more male buyers.
The American carmakers have one goal in mind: to set up a base that will strengthen their roots and to increase their share in the European market although they differ in their marketing system and strategies. The competition is tough especially with the Asian carmakers around now growing in. That’s it for now.
