Maruti, Hyundai and GM to hike car prices
NEW DELHI: The new year will begin on a costly note for car buyers with major players, including Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai Motors and General Motors, planning to increase prices of the vehicles by as much as Rs 12,000.
The companies are citing higher costs of raw materials such as lead and aluminium, besides rising freight charges as well as petroleum products, among the reasons for increasing the vehicle prices.
According to dealer sources, Maruti Suzuki India Ltd has told its distributors to gear up for an increase in prices across all models by up to Rs 12,000. The price hike would be applicable on dispatches of vehicles from the date of announcement of the hike in January. When contacted, officials of the country's biggest carmaker declined to comment.
Sources said Maruti has also written to its dealers that it will shut down production facilities for maintenance activities during December 24-31 and the dealers should plan their bookings accordingly.
Maruti's nearest rival Hyundai Motors India Ltd is also planning a price hike of up to two per cent across different models by December-end or January next year. Hyundai's lowest price car is the Santro non-AC which comes for Rs 2.72 lakh, while the high-end Sonata Embera is priced Rs 15.71 lakh.
Sources said HMIL may also revise the price of its recently introduced global car 'i10', which has been priced at Rs 3.39 lakh onward.
While Hyundai officials declined to comment, General Motors India (GMI) confirmed it will be revising prices.
"We will be hiking prices of our products between 1-2 per cent across all models by January," GMI Vice-President Marketing and Sales Ankush Arora told reporters.
He said increase in diesel prices along with input costs have made it necessary to hike the car prices.

OnStar Plays God with Your Car
How much would it tick off a car thief if all of a sudden, during the getaway, the engine started to lose power and the vehicle began to decelerate? Quite a bit, I imagine. OnStar is well on its way to god status by introducing Stolen Vehicle Slowdown, a new technology that is capable of transmitting a signal to a vehicle and corresponding with its powertrain system to reduce fuel flow to the engine and eventually decrease the speed of the car. The slowdown would happen at a safe and gradual level, so that coppers could safely follow and apprehend the thieves. (No more Dukes of Hazzard type chases.)
The tech, which is set to debut in 1.6 million 2009 model GM cars, works in conjunction with OnStar's Stolen Vehicle Location service (needed initially to pinpoint the whereabouts of the car). A direct line of sight is required in order to activate the tech, and according to the site, "Safeguards will be in place to ensure that the correct vehicle is slowed down." Uh, let's hope so. That sure would suck to be the clueless guy driving behind.

Ride High With the Right Toyota : New Toyota 2009
Ride High With the Right Toyota

An air induction tube is a hose that is assembled to the engine. This hose filters the air in the engine because unfiltered air can cause major damages to the engine, such as power loss. So it is very important that there are no leaks of any kind. However, a hose replacement at Toyota is quite expensive, especially if you are the budget type who at least just wants a temporary fix to last until you can afford the permanent fix. A wrecking yard is a good suggestion here, but if the budget can not afford it, just grab a duct tape and cover the hole. It is just that simple, of course it won't last.
Do take note not to burn the paint. Later on, the dent will go off out on its own. If that does not happen, you can do it yourself by applying pressure at the opposite side to pop it on your own. Bumpers that are made out of plastic material have that kind of "memory", just when you press a reset button on a game you are playing. When you apply heat on you plastic-material bumper, it will always go back to the way it was molded figure. Once it has returned to its normal shape, bolt it back to your car. It is just that easy.
A dent in your Toyota's bumper is an awful sight to see. So if you are that person who wants those nasty dents removed by yourself, here's how you should do it. Check if your bumper is made of plastic. If it is made of plastic, see if it is cracked. If there are no cracks at all, all you have to do is unbolt it. If you have an electric fire or a portable gas fire, position it towards the bumper with the dent for approximately thirty centimeters. Just put it that way for five minutes.
Not all lights will work forever, even candle melts and you have to light a new stick to provide illumination in a dark room. Light bulbs will wear out, even in cars, and these lights were provided, in the first place, to give support when checking out dark areas of your car. One of these dark areas in your car would have to be in the dashboard where the air flows which is called airflow control area. These light bulbs are usually attached to sockets, and they can be easily removed by pulling them off. To pull them off, you have to remove this plastic wrapped around the dash.
This kind of incident usually happens when the center pivot of the scissor mechanism that lifts up the window is held by a particular bolt that is getting loose. Because of this loosen bolt, the window will have to shift and/or bind in its track as it was unevenly raised. If you try to bring down the window at least half way, that particular bolt that causes the problem can be accessed from an opening in the door panel (front door; it is not too far from the speaker/s). It is best to tighten this loose bolt as soon as you experience difficulty with the windows because when this worsens, the glass will feel stress with the shift-bind problem and later on shatter right before your eyes.
There will be times that scratches can make your car totally annoying and irritating and chances are you may want to take them out. Today, there are solutions but you have to consider the feasibility of getting an auto detail or washing over the whole car for a fresh look.
Of the two, detailing may seem to be cheaper but is it wise? It is practically the same thing as you try to cheat your way towards restoring your car. If the cost is only minor in terms of cost, then why not go for the complete washover for a better look?
