One of the advantages of running a successful online publication like Auto Trends Magazine is that I get to preview and drive numerous vehicles before or just as they hit the market. A recent call from the Ford Motor Company arranged for my drive of the 2012 battery electric version of the Ford Focus, a compact car slated to go on sale summer 2011.
It's Electric!
This vehicle will be important for two big reasons: it will replace the current American spec model with the European derived one, offering a better-looking, more fuel efficient and updated package. It will also allow customers to buy an electric car if they choose to do so, though the gas version producing 40 mpg on the highway may be sufficient for most drivers.
What was so special about the 2012 Focus BEV? Well, it was the same car produced for the Jay Leno Show as part of the TV personality's bid to showcase green cars. This specially developed prototype is based on the Focus SVT, a car sold in Europe and considered by some to be the sportiest and fastest compact car on the market.
But, that was just the exterior of the vehicle -- underneath the Focus BEV featured an honest to goodness lithium-ion battery pack, exactly like the one that will be found in production versions of this car. This particular prototype functioned just as well as a production car, with none of the customary squeaks, rattles and unfinished compartments apparent.
Recaro Seats
Opening up the door and sliding into the driver's seat was a thrill. Recaro seats were standard although Ford hasn't said whether production models will offer this option or the beautiful exterior paint scheme. Remember, this was a "show" car meant to appear on Leno's show and nothing more. Still, the seats were fabulous, setting the tone for my drive.
The Ford Focus BEV has a push button start which means all you have to do is press on a button and the car comes to life. No roar of the engine to tell you that the car is running, but the dashboard lights up, telling you to go ahead and shift into gear.
Quietly, I pulled out of the parking space at North Carolina State University and proceeded to wind my way through the parking lot and onto local roads. This was a limited drive -- covering two huge blocks, with the total trip less than a mile long. Yet, it was long enough for me to gain an appreciation for quiet driving. Making no noise seemed odd at first -- even the tires were among the quietest I've ever ridden upon.
Raw Power
Heading back into the lot got me thinking -- electric cars offer plenty of torque. Naturally, I stepped on the accelerator pedal and the car suddenly zoomed forward without hesitation. Yes, this car has power and plenty of it -- I didn't miss the internal combustion engine one bit.
A preview of a car is just that -- a short introduction to a particular model. Certainly, a longer drive over several hours, preferably days would be best and that time will come next year. Meanwhile, the Focus BEV is a promising vehicle, one of many all new electric cars hitting the market in 2011.

Nissan Leaf Is The Car Of The 2011 Year In Europe
By Eugen Ili
Nissan Leaf is a one hundred percent electric car that will appear on the market from December 2010. According to Wikipedia the name Leaf comes from "Leading, Environmentally friendly, Affordable, Family car."
The model is a compact 5-door hatchback that runs only on electric motor. According to the specifications, we can go with this car a distance of between 130-175 kilometers before you need to reload the batteries. The time you can spend in front of the steering wheel of this car depends on various factors such as temperature, speed, driving style and load. But do not worry because the manufacturers have introduced to this model of Nissan a regenerative braking system (regenerative breaking) that uses the energy, that results from braking, to charge car batteries, extending the autonomy of running.
The car has an electric motor output of 80 kW, a couple of 280 Nm motors and speed that can reach almost 150 kilometers per hour.
The official Nissan site, have not specified exactly the life time of batteries, but they said that they reported this time to the average miles made by an urban environment person, so the batteries can be used for years. It all depends on how the car is used and maintained.
This is the first time in history when a one hundred percentage electric car, Nissan leaf, gets the distinction of "The Car of the Year." It's amazing that Nissan Leaf reached to the final with Alfa Romeo Giulietta, Opel Meriva, Ford C-Max, Citroen C3, Volvo S60 and Dacia Duster. Even more, it surpassed the Giulietta model from Alfa Romeo with nine points and with thirteen points the Meriva model of the Opel.
The participating cars were voted by a jury of 59 members from 23 countries. Among the jury had participated Steve Cropley, representatives of Autocar.co.uk, who said that he supported very much the electric model of Nissan, so it was his first option on the voting list, and the second option was the Dacia Duster model.
Other awards of this amazing car are: Popular Mechanics 2010 Breakthrough Award, the 2010 Green Car of the Year by "The Green Car Website", 2011 European Car of the Year, one of the five finalists for the 2011 Green Car of the Year awarded by the Green Car Journal, and one of the 50 best inventions of 2009 named so by Time magazine.
The Nissan Leaf Awards is a clear sign that there is a very good future for the green car industry.

Learn the Basics: Introduction to Car Auctions
By Anjo Bacarisas
There is no doubt that the best place to get a used car is through auto car auctions. From those flashy sports cars to classic cars, you may find one on these types of auctions. There are also instances where you can see cars from other countries that are auctioned. But before discussing on where to find the location of these auctions, let us first discuss the process of these auto car auctions.
When we talk about auctions, one thing that could come in our minds is that the cars available are impounded cars. Also, there are plenty of reasons why these cars are repossessed: they are used by syndicates in committing a crime, and some of these cars are taken due to their owners' failure to pay the tax.
On the other hand, if these cars are not claimed by the owner's, it will remain at the hands of the police. And sure the maintenance will be a huge expense of money for the government. For that reason, they need to put these cars into auctions as quickly as possible. That is why they must hold auctions every now and then to get rid of these vehicles. Other items are also available aside from cars - boats, homes, and any items that are seized by the police.
Because of that fact, it confirms our hypothesis that car auctions are the best place to find the best deals regarding vehicle purchase. You will surely see wide types of vehicles, and a wide variety of people as well as young and new drivers who wish to drives their first car. There are also businessmen who buy at these auctions and sell it on a higher rate for profit.
Also, when you are already in the auction, you have to make sure that you get the one that is desired, and have no problems. You must see if the car has dents, and any other damages that could affect the appearance and performance of the vehicle. If you find one, make sure that the repairs would only cost less. After checking the car, there is no reason that you won't bid.

Outstanding Role of Carbon Fiber in Automotive Production
By Wes Collins
According to the recent survey made regarding the consumption of each country to carbon fiber, the United States of America consumes sixty percent of the world's production of this material. Near on its trail is followed by Japan which uses around fifty percent of the production. From the production of this material, almost every market has beneficial use in it. But the market which has the top use is the Transportation. It showed that 31.6% of its total volume consumption of the product. This is followed by construction with 20.8% use; and Corrosion-resistant at 11.8% use; among the top three markets. What does this indicate? That this metal is quintessential and that it has proven to be vital especially to the production and manufacture of Transportation.
Studies show that these fibers' two main applications are in specialized technology and transportation and general engineering. This is predominantly true since we have seen the vast grow of the manufactures of engineering components like automobile bodies, fan blades, gears and bearings. But what made this material so special and liked a lot especially by those in production of cars?
In a nut shell, carbon fiber, alternately called as graphite fiber, is made up of very thin fibers, major part of which is made up of carbon atoms. These intensely thin fibers have only a diameter of about 0.005-0.010 mm. However, this material proved itself greater than its size. For one, it is made of carbon, and for the other thing, these fibers are spun together with the help of crystal alignment that made it even stronger. It is no wonder then that with its size, it has produced a dynamic strength-to-weight ratio. The density of this metal proved to be much lower compared to other metals like steel. It is conceivable then to think that many fields prefer this material as a better option when it comes to applications that require low weight. Other properties of this metal like having low thermal expansion, high tensile strength, and of course its low weight, are also beneficial to motor sports, among many other fields.
Magnificent properties of this metal wonder were being applied effectively to different transportation production most especially with sports car. Since it features physical strength, among its many other profound characteristics, as well as its electrical conductivity, its application to automobile hoods proved to be efficient. With tested qualities, other parts of automobile become carbon fiber-applied like novel tooling, built-in electronic equipment inside the cars, and even EMI and RF shielding.
In automotive styling and racing, this metal proved to be the new boon companion. We see different parts of a car that are made of graphite like the hood, bonnet, trunk, boot, lip and fender. According to many who already experienced at least driving such cars, they are totally impressed about the extensive packaging. These racing devils are in perfect condition!
So long as men will be engagingly enthusiastic about sports car, that long will carbon fiber be a significant part or their passion.

Snow and Ice Safety While Driving
By Levi Quinn
The time of year is upon us when the weather begins to get bad and the possibility of ice and snow getting in the way of our efficient commute is imminent. Depending on the area of the country in which you live, you may not be well versed in how to drive when it comes to dealing with snow and ice.
While the first good rule to follow when it comes to snow and ice is to stay put and stay home, sometimes that is not always possible. Consider these tips to make sure you stay safe, while also making it to your destination.
If you have never been faced with driving on snow, it is best to practice. Find a snowy, empty parking lot and work to learn how it feels to maneuver your car in inclement weather. This is especially useful for new drivers. Do not hesitate to open up your owner's manual to see if the vehicle manufacturer has any specific tips that pertain directly to your vehicle's handling.
Next, always make sure that you plan for the fact that when you drive in snow, it is going to take you longer to get from Point A to Point B. Give yourself a cushion of time to work with, so you don't put yourself in danger in the process.
Work to pay attention to the speedometer and don't feel pressured to go faster than what you are comfortable with. Regardless if that SUV next to you is topping the speed limit, don't feel like you have to keep up. Decrease your speed to your comfort and experience level and make sure you give yourself at least three times more stopping room than what you traditionally need.
When you brake, know that there is a high possibility of fishtailing or loss of traction. Tap the brakes and if you feel like your wheels are locking up ease off. Always remember that if you have to correct out of a fishtail to turn your steering wheel the way you are swerving. Take special care to not over correct, that could force you into a spin.
Always use your lights when you are driving in inclement weather and make sure you have good windshield wipers and plenty of wiper fluid.
If you are faced with driving on a hill, know that you should use low gears, this will help you keep traction and prevent you from sliding backwards. Alternately, when you are on a bridge, understand that this is the first place that will experience ice. A bridge will freeze faster and before the roads on either side. Therefore, reduce your speed significantly and stay aware.
Finally, it is wise to never assume that just because you know how to drive on snow means that your vehicle is built for bad weather. Use good judgment and if you drive a sports car, opt to stay indoors or find alternate transportation. Remember, it's better to call in sick or be late to work, than to put yourself in danger.

Protect your whole family (including cheap insurance for young drivers) with the policy that's right for you.
