The Chinese-made Chery A3 and a car by Hongqi have also been awarded the ranking. Foreign autos Mercedes-Benz C200, produced by a joint venture called Beijing Benz-DaimlerChrysler Automotive, and the FAW-Volkswagen Bora have also received rankings at that level, according to an English-language newspaper in China.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSbPZMGv13UN5h3ZahHtjz1H8LRIgwSzfupraRcao5H1yDoeZKK9u08FZDc_780V1Di5yGnGYSsbUi2zwWY5dZd5Jmw-QAAuz8HF_IaBtxYWb6q4047NnSWy4mjaRyzdORwUIC0XzoW9tr/s1600-h/roewe-550-c-ncap-crash-testing_6.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285873044840349458" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSbPZMGv13UN5h3ZahHtjz1H8LRIgwSzfupraRcao5H1yDoeZKK9u08FZDc_780V1Di5yGnGYSsbUi2zwWY5dZd5Jmw-QAAuz8HF_IaBtxYWb6q4047NnSWy4mjaRyzdORwUIC0XzoW9tr/s400/roewe-550-c-ncap-crash-testing_6.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" /></a><br />Such dramatic increases leads one to speculate on the integrity of the tests.

LED lighting is already found on the new Porsche 911. Overall this upgraded Cayenne is shaping up to be a more exciting model from Porsche and it is giving drivers more features that they want such as the LED lights and the more efficient layout of interior controls just to name a few.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifFRHqpPUtMqXWFOnyOFJsb0NX7ynkWyDwxDruh5GWszxrWJefky6ANzAgjLOR5fWaEYsSTAV0sbD_7rtVFOXEiDu-iVewDJC3fNkyd9nTSbZMavtgwJveqZd1M6NOftNpoBSrmk9CGsd9/s1600-h/6a00d834515a6e69e201053695fbd8970c.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285487142335946290" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifFRHqpPUtMqXWFOnyOFJsb0NX7ynkWyDwxDruh5GWszxrWJefky6ANzAgjLOR5fWaEYsSTAV0sbD_7rtVFOXEiDu-iVewDJC3fNkyd9nTSbZMavtgwJveqZd1M6NOftNpoBSrmk9CGsd9/s400/6a00d834515a6e69e201053695fbd8970c.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 268px;" /></a><br />Surrounding the shift lifter on both sides are a plethora of buttons for the driver, which should include window controls, lock controls, and controls for the navigation unit just to name a few.

For those wondering, Modulo is the name Honda gives to jazzed-up versions of factory-designed cars. The accessorized Insight pictured above features a sporty bodykit with a front spoiler that incorporates an extra set of (fog?) lights, side skirts, a rear apron and larger alloy wheels. Finally, we also learn from the leaked brochure that the JDM Insight will be offered in three trim levels, G, L and LS.<br /><span class="fullpost"><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYUhl-chLB8p4hvtQsYxvcEXwWnvUEV8TheTrXd0Li8IlUZWIvBPJkDcMTZ8k_HxLtgYWRmXB7B9GRU4px852pxRlOAsFHYaTNipqDpuOZZpyGEUnQaDB_camCPyYVbYiYLmGE9I5likA/s1600-h/2009-Honda-Insight-7.jpg"><img alt="2009 Honda Insight Hybrid Sedan " border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284932237829879474" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYUhl-chLB8p4hvtQsYxvcEXwWnvUEV8TheTrXd0Li8IlUZWIvBPJkDcMTZ8k_HxLtgYWRmXB7B9GRU4px852pxRlOAsFHYaTNipqDpuOZZpyGEUnQaDB_camCPyYVbYiYLmGE9I5likA/s400/2009-Honda-Insight-7.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 214px;" /></a><br />Despite Honda's attempts to keep a tight lid on any information concerning the new Insight hybrid sedan, a set of scans from the official Japanese market model (JDM) brochure have been leaked online, two weeks before the car's worldwide premiere at the Detroit auto show on January 11. Honda had released a three-quarter front shot of the production version but the brochure scans give us our first glimpse of the 2009 Insight's more conservatively styled rear-end along with the hybrid's interior which remains for the most part unchanged compared to the Paris Show Insight Concept.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWChTsVUqTlFZ4jdg_ZVSSVZzkd6sWbTBkqwMDBWMDs6xVosmWujt56kTC-yzU0SJrDLUhwOTf3SpXWg70BfSb-oyetxaLZFsAJHu576szebFVd8InY-4Wzhz_rwJ2w63P0epFdXwAjbU/s1600-h/2009-Honda-Insight-6.jpg"><img alt="2009 Honda Insight Hybrid Sedan " border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284932234640792738" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWChTsVUqTlFZ4jdg_ZVSSVZzkd6sWbTBkqwMDBWMDs6xVosmWujt56kTC-yzU0SJrDLUhwOTf3SpXWg70BfSb-oyetxaLZFsAJHu576szebFVd8InY-4Wzhz_rwJ2w63P0epFdXwAjbU/s400/2009-Honda-Insight-6.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 282px;" /></a><br />Another site called 'Insightman' posted a more detailed article with plenty of data sourced from an unnamed Japanese car magazine that supposedly gathered the information from a product preview meeting for Honda dealers in Japan.

The company is holding firm on its commitment to Formula One as well, even though "to keep it up at the current level [of spending] is extremely difficult", according to CEO Katsuaki Watanabe.

The dual turbocharged 3.0-litre AJ-V6D Gen III diesels are a direct development of the 207 HP 2.7-liter AJ V6 that was jointly engineered with the PSA Peugeot-Citroen group. Both units are matched to Jaguar's six-speed ZF 6HP28 automatic transmission. In standard form, the 3.0 V6 diesel produces 240 HP (16 percent more than the 2.7 V6) allowing the XF to go from 0 to 60mph (96 km/h) in 6.7 seconds and reach a maximum speed of 149mph (240 km/h).<br /><span class="fullpost"><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzoEg8OX3fsH0f-3-OM_xBht0l3V7Bwvo-aRna99cHM4CEAjPXKXRjVn6enzzloXq9yhgfck3NKjpGVPx6dRAuWT4FSlNcXuax4O0620vt6Ix1CRA8zj4EOCnnw16-HsGb7VYrkHhfdhW1/s1600-h/Jaguar-XF-Diesel-S-2.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285465070770477938" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzoEg8OX3fsH0f-3-OM_xBht0l3V7Bwvo-aRna99cHM4CEAjPXKXRjVn6enzzloXq9yhgfck3NKjpGVPx6dRAuWT4FSlNcXuax4O0620vt6Ix1CRA8zj4EOCnnw16-HsGb7VYrkHhfdhW1/s400/Jaguar-XF-Diesel-S-2.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" /></a><br />On the outside, the Diesel S XF is distinguished by a set of newly designed 19-inch wheels, an aerodynamic boot lid spoiler and discreet 'S' badging.<br /><br />Along with the presentation of the new diesel-powered models, Jaguar said that it has also performed 'significant trim and specification changes' that include the introduction of a new luxurious Portfolio version.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjLHiiJJwFw_qeFYGgltt-lkLYdSwDdNP_UlmoR3EeQtJMAeqggfiBCjH7xgaj3Ir_PpTu4eOdvASekvemnaakYn1H19_V4f6tzg7Ft8LgjbtRhOWWbzAMfBF1J5PX2lvDjBa4qRtqBYr-/s1600-h/Jaguar-XF-Diesel-S-3.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285464990595725298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjLHiiJJwFw_qeFYGgltt-lkLYdSwDdNP_UlmoR3EeQtJMAeqggfiBCjH7xgaj3Ir_PpTu4eOdvASekvemnaakYn1H19_V4f6tzg7Ft8LgjbtRhOWWbzAMfBF1J5PX2lvDjBa4qRtqBYr-/s400/Jaguar-XF-Diesel-S-3.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" /></a><br />The more powerful XF Diesel S that delivers an output of 275HP and a massive 600Nm (443 lbs-ft) of torque, accelerates from 0-60mph (96 km/h) in just 5.9 seconds, 1.8 seconds quicker than the 2.7-litre model, while the car's top speed is electronically limited to 155mph (250 km/h).
