The measure was decided during the week by the local is still unknown its value, but it is thanks to this tax rebate that General Motors will be able to invest 359 million dollars needed to open the plant unborn child.

This move seems logical consequence of ‘agreement, signed in 2007 to provide engines FPT F1C (4-cylinder 3-litre common rail 16V) for vehicles Mitsubishi Fuso, at the time signed with DaimlerCrysler.

The public taste change, and even U.S. customers are no longer than once: as said Thomas Stephens, vice president of GM Powertrain, is not entirely ruled out the possibility of taking-even on the U.S. market-a 2.0 on four cylinders ‘Current Cadillac CTS.

Obviously, the performance will be better for what concerns the saloon, the 0-100 will be covered in 8.5 s (9.4 as long as necessary to 143 hp) and the tip velocistica touch the 229 km / h, compared to 215 of which he is capable powerstep the less performing.

The new engine, the second Audi UK, will cover 15% of the demand for the model and will cost about 1000 pounds more than 2.0 TDI 143 hp.

Jaguar would in fact working on a diesel model of its coupe, along the path already taken by BMW with the Series 6.

The news of cooperation that BMW and Fiat are evaluating what currently is still fresh, but more shares begin to tick the first indiscretions on the detail of future agreements. What it comes exactly?

As we anticipated, the network of dealerships Mini will support the marketing of Alfa in America, and the counterparty will be the arrival of the mechanics of small Turin in England. Now we can point out that according to the news more fresh, the next generation of the Mini (the third is expected in 2012), with all derivatives, and the heirs of Fiat Grande Punto and Alfa Romeo MiTo relatives will be so very close, because that arise on a common architecture designed by Italian contractor.it is new car.

What is more, the other news-bomb is that from 2015 Mini will develop a second family of larger models that will complement the current and that grows on the platform C-Ages, also of native Italians.
