Cars of the Future

Cars of the Future

Jun 30, 2010

To make the article clear from the beginning, we will not talk about what cars will be developed in the future or if we are going to use flying cars or if we’ll use teleportation stuff in order to move our self’s from A to B. No, this article is about normal cars, usual cars, which we are using and enjoy driving and seeing on the roads today, cars that we hope to be able to also use them in the future. Personally, I like seeing old BMWs driving beside me on the street; I like to see funny Trabants with bright colors, pulling a huge cloud of black smoke made from the oil and gas mix. I like to see cars that I’ve dream to have when I was a child and with a bit of luck be able to also drive them. This is what this article is about; we will try to find some today’s cars that we will like to see in the future on the streets. And I will start by mentioning that we will exclude from beginning exotic cars, I don’t see so many Ferraris or Aston Martins on the streets today, not to say in the future, maybe is because I don’t live in California or near the Nurburgring, but this is not the point. Don’t get me wrong, I will be smiling an entire day if in 20 year time a Bentley Continental Super Sport with his W12 and 621 bhp will pass near me. But the problem is that there are more chances that a Renault Megane RS to make your day in the 20 years time then a Lamborghini. Or let’s look at the problem from a different point of view, maybe in 20 years time we can afford to have all this exotic cars and we will be bored to see them every day on our garages, so, we will turn...

Kia: alphanumeric designations for the future models

Kia: alphanumeric designations for the future models

Jun 30, 2010

The top management of Kia is facing the appropriateness of adopting alphanumeric designations instead of names, instead of current models names, for the future ones. In some markets such as the home of South Korea, a group of models is already identified in this way: you can include the Kia Optima that is called K5. The shift, which could affect the U.S. and not Europe would be for strengthening the brand image, said the Vice-President Chung Eui-Sun, interviewed by Automotive News. If we add that the sister Hyundai has produced in recent times in such an operation, it seems that the road has been cleared in this direction. But, says Eui-Sun itself, the Americans have never proved particularly pleased by alphanumeric designations in market research. Ergo it is more to think about before making a final decision. Real problem or issue coy?
