The Chevrolet Volt – voted European Car of the Year 2012 – opens a new chapter in the history of electric motoring. By virtue of its fundamental design, the Volt enables occupants to enjoy the benefits of no-emission driving as well as the performance and practicality normally associated with conventional cars. Whether you are out in the countryside or bogged down in a traffic jam, the Volt will get you home.

Equally important, the Chevrolet Volt delivers confident road manners. Its electric drive unit provides 370Nm of instant torque, an acceleration time of 0-60mph in 9.0 seconds; and a top speed of 99mph, making the Volt as nimble as any passenger car.

On a single battery charge, the car is capable of covering 25-50 miles using solely its internally stored electrical energy. Independent studies have shown this is sufficient to meet the daily needs of 80 per cent of European drivers.

In extended-range mode, which activates whenever the battery has reached its minimum charge, motive power from a generator is seamlessly inverted to the electric drive unit.

“The Volt is the first mass-produced car that combines the efficiency and carbon footprint of an electric vehicle with a range and degree of flexibility previously unthinkable in this segment,” said Susan Docherty, President and Managing Director of Chevrolet Europe. “The Chevrolet Volt is the best solution on the planet today for worry-free electric driving.”

A sample of early Volt customers in the US, where the car has been on sale since late 2010, suggests that they drive 1,000 miles before filling up the fuel tank. In Europe, meanwhile, the Volt qualifies for government subsidies in many countries and cities. In the UK, the Volt qualifies for the government’s Plug-In Car Grant worth up to £5,000, while it is exempt from the daily congestion charge in London, saving owners up to a further £2,000 per year.

The DS5 is Citroën’s most innovative car since the 1970s. It’s a beautiful, five-seat family car that looks like the lovechild of an MPV and an estate, and it bloods Peugeot-Citroën’s unique diesel/hybrid powertrain. There is a hatchback boot, room for five inside, plus a driver-oriented cockpit with a series of overhead switches, a head-up display and keyboard-laden center console. It looks good. The DS5 is the first model to feature Citroen PSA HYbrid4 technology – we have the diesel-hybrid powertrain in 3008 and 508 seen. The clever design combines driving a 163bhp 2.0-liter HDi engine, the front wheels, and rotate a 37bhp electric motor on the rear axle.The result should be a hatchback with a decent turn of pace, extraordinarily low fuel consumption, Co2 emissions and running costs, and a desirability unmatched in a Citroën since the SM and GS glory days.  UK sale in March 2012, with prices starting around £23,000  its a great buy.

What with the advent of the internet, searching for used cars has never been easier, instead of walking up and down the roads that lead into our cities and towns where used car sales pitches dot the landscape, now we can turn to our laptops and tablets to find and get access to images of literally millions of used cars for sale in Britain today. Where though websites like Arnold Clark we find that there are thousands of used cars ready to be sold to right now to first time buyers. So stop hunting down those private ads and head straight for the virtual forecourts of Arnold Clark and get set to snap yourself up a bargain on a used car this winter.

With 2012 just around the corner, used car salesmen and women are waiting in the knowledge that in no more than 10 days’ time all their used car stock will be at least appearing one year older. Henceforth making that 2005 model feel just that little bit older, and thus potentially reducing its value to the end user. And with this knowledge burring at the back of the minds and hearts of the forecourt car dealers, negotiating your way to a better deal is easy by praying on this sore note with the sale rep, simply manipulate the salesman buy exclaiming exactly that “well – in the next week this car is going to be another year older” and see what kind of reaction you get, if nothing else the sales rep should respect you for pointing out that they need to sell this car soon or it is simply thousands of pounds tie up in stock.

With business in 2012 set to boom once more, getting your new used car now while the market is in your favour could be key to any future success of yourself, buy in confidence the used car you have been dreaming about from Arnold Clark this winter and save more than a packet on the Forecourt price.

As far as cars are concerned, Antonio Margarito is not really known for his cars.  He has a driver’s licence, of course, but cars do not seem to be his passion, or at least this isn’t much reported on.  His manager, however, is a completely different story.  Francisco Espinosa, who also manages Jesus Soto Karass, is a big fan of classic cars.  He owns a range of classic cars and is particularly interested in those that are usually used in old gangster and Mafia movies. 

Little is known, however, about Antonio Margarito’s own preferences.  Perhaps he just simply isn’t the biggest car fan or perhaps he wants to keep this part of his private life hidden.  He has been seen driving a simple pickup truck once though, which was in preparation for his fight against Manny Pacquiao.  This raised some eyebrows, as most people are used to seeing big superstar athletes driving in big expensive cars.  The pickup truck seem slightly too humble to befit someone of Antonio Margarito’s status.

Margarito does have a close relationship with his manager, however, and is often seen at classic car shows and auctions, including some for charity.  Interestingly enough, these types of shows are also often attended by Margarito fans, even if Anotonio Margarito himself or his manager are not due to attend.  Whether that is because fans hope that they will come, or whether they are demonstrating their love for the superstar by enjoying similar things is of course unclear.
