In reality though it can be very challenging. Right turns are like left turns, freeway exits are on the left and worst of all the turn signal and wiper stalks are flipped around. If you ever have to drive on the left side of the road here are a few tips that should make you a safer driver.</p><p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/" >autoline</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Australia">Australia</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Autoline">Autoline</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/John">John</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/McElroy">McElroy</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/auto">auto</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/autos">autos</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/car">car</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/cars">cars</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/driving">driving</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/suggestions">suggestions</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/tips">tips</a></p> Thu, 05 Jun 2008 16:05:00 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/videos/34/ autoline 2008-06-05T16:05:00Z Australia Autoline John McElroy auto autos car cars driving suggestions tips autoline Stay Left, Look Right http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/videos/33/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/videos/33/" title="Flywheel Hybrid Technology" ><img src="http://www.viddler.com/thumbnail.action?token=2aedd87c&size=1" width="114" height="86" alt="Flywheel Hybrid Technology" border="0" /></a></p> <p>Torotrak is a UK-based company thats developing a technology called a flywheel hybrid. Instead of using a big, heavy battery to store energy, the Torotrak system uses a spinning flywheel. Its simple and lightweight compared to traditional electric hybrids, and its even going to be used in Formula One race cars. Theres no word yet if any automakers are signing up, but if it starts winning races you can bet theyll be all over it.</p><p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/" >autoline</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Auto">Auto</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Autoline">Autoline</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Autos">Autos</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Car">Car</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Cars">Cars</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/F1">F1</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/John">John</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/McElroy">McElroy</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/car">car</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/driving">driving</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/flywheel">flywheel</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/hybrid">hybrid</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/industry">industry</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/technology">technology</a></p> Wed, 28 May 2008 17:27:00 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/videos/33/ autoline 2008-05-28T17:27:00Z Auto Autoline Autos Car Cars F1 John McElroy car driving flywheel hybrid industry technology autoline Flywheel Hybrid Technology http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/videos/31/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/videos/31/" title="AUTOLINE IN LA: California Collectors" ><img src="http://www.viddler.com/thumbnail.action?token=5a0e7491&size=1" width="114" height="86" alt="AUTOLINE IN LA: California Collectors" border="0" /></a></p> <p>Bruce Meyer and Peter Mullin have two of Californias finest car collections.

Autoline was recently invited out to their design studios in Irvine, California to tape a show for our upcoming series, Autoline in LA. This is truly unprecedented because car companies go to great lengths to keep journalists in the dark about their top-secret work. The media are very rarely invited into these studios, and if they are, cameras are forbidden. Autoline got inside for a first-ever glimpse behind the veil of secrecy at Mazda Design.</p><p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/" >autoline</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Auto">Auto</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Autoline">Autoline</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Autos">Autos</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/California">California</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Car">Car</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Cars">Cars</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/John">John</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/LA">LA</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Mazda">Mazda</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/McElroy">McElroy</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/design">design</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/driving">driving</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/in">in</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/industry">industry</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/style">style</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/technology">technology</a></p> Wed, 28 May 2008 15:31:00 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/videos/30/ autoline 2008-05-28T15:31:00Z Auto Autoline Autos California Car Cars John LA Mazda McElroy design driving in industry style technology autoline AUTOLINE IN LA: Zoom Zoom Design http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/videos/32/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/videos/32/" title="AUTOLINE IN LA: Cars and Coffee" ><img src="http://www.viddler.com/thumbnail.action?token=a9bc7700&size=1" width="114" height="86" alt="AUTOLINE IN LA: Cars and Coffee" border="0" /></a></p> <p>Every Saturday morning car enthusiasts gather at Mazdas North American headquarters in Irvine California for an event called Cars and Coffee.

He looks after an impressive collection of more than 150 historic cars, trucks and motorcycles. Its a remarkable museum thats known all over the world, but theres more to it than meets the eye because the Petersen has many cars that arent publicly displayed. They hide them away in a place they call The Vault. After taping one of our programs for Autoline in LA in the museum with the PR chiefs from Honda, Hyundai, Mazda and Toyota, Dick was kind enough to give us a tour. Autoline got a behind-the-scenes look at whats locked inside, but we cant show you everything we saw some of it is top secret.</p><p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/" >autoline</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Angeles">Angeles</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Auto">Auto</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Autoline">Autoline</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Autos">Autos</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/California">California</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Car">Car</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Cars">Cars</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/John">John</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/LA">LA</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Los">Los</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/McElroy">McElroy</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Museum">Museum</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Petersen">Petersen</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/SoCal">SoCal</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/driving">driving</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/industry">industry</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/technology">technology</a></p> Wed, 28 May 2008 15:19:00 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/videos/29/ autoline 2008-05-28T15:19:00Z Angeles Auto Autoline Autos California Car Cars John LA Los McElroy Museum Petersen SoCal driving industry technology autoline AUTOLINE IN LA: Safecracking http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/videos/28/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/videos/28/" title="LA SNEAK PEEK: Household Hydrogen" ><img src="http://www.viddler.com/thumbnail.action?token=6657a25e&size=1" width="114" height="86" alt="LA SNEAK PEEK: Household Hydrogen" border="0" /></a></p> <p>While we were in California shooting our upcoming series, Autoline in LA, Honda invited us out to their American Headquarters in Torrance for a sneak peek at some of the hydrogen fuel cell technologies theyve been working on.

Its a problem common to high-performance cars with big brake rotors, and Chrysler owns the patents on how to cure this problem.</p><p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/" >autoline</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/911">911</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Autoline">Autoline</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Challenger">Challenger</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Chrysler">Chrysler</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Dodge">Dodge</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/John">John</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/McElroy">McElroy</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Porsche">Porsche</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/SRT">SRT</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/SRT8">SRT8</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/handling">handling</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/performance">performance</a></p> Tue, 20 May 2008 20:46:38 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/videos/27/ autoline 2008-05-20T20:46:38Z 911 Autoline Challenger Chrysler Dodge John McElroy Porsche SRT SRT8 handling performance autoline Dodge Challenger: Performance http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/videos/26/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/videos/26/" title="Dodge Challenger: Marketing" ><img src="http://www.viddler.com/thumbnail.action?token=7e94d642&size=1" width="114" height="86" alt="Dodge Challenger: Marketing" border="0" /></a></p> <p>Mike Acavitti is the Director of the Dodge Brand and SRT Marketing Communications.

But kids today are creating a performance genre that's all their own. They've pioneered what's called the "sport compact" car. They're small, typically imported vehicles that come with four cylinder engines. Their owners modify them to create serious power and head-turning looks.</p><p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/" >autoline</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Autoline">Autoline</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/John">John</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/McElroy">McElroy</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/auto">auto</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/autos">autos</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/car">car</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/cars">cars</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/compact">compact</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/performance">performance</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/ricer">ricer</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/sport">sport</a></p> Mon, 21 Apr 2008 21:58:53 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/videos/23/ autoline 2008-04-21T21:58:53Z Autoline John McElroy auto autos car cars compact performance ricer sport autoline Modern-Day Muscle http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/videos/22/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/videos/22/" title="Car-in-a-Box" ><img src="http://www.viddler.com/thumbnail.action?token=69cc5678&size=1" width="114" height="86" alt="Car-in-a-Box" border="0" /></a></p> <p>Surely you've heard of kit cars. From knockoffs of the legendary AC Cobra to Ferrari replicas built on Pontiac Fiero chassis, interested buyers can find replicas of countless different vehicles. Part of the appeal of kit cars is that owners get to assemble the vehicles themselves. But kit cars don't always have to be copies of existing models. Here's a look at one of the tiniest cars that's ever been sold as a kit.</p><p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/" >autoline</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/AC">AC</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Autoline">Autoline</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Cobra">Cobra</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/John">John</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/McElroy">McElroy</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Shelby">Shelby</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/auto">auto</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/autos">autos</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/car">car</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/cars">cars</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/kit">kit</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/kitcar">kitcar</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/microcar">microcar</a></p> Tue, 15 Apr 2008 16:43:45 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/videos/22/ autoline 2008-04-15T16:43:45Z AC Autoline Cobra John McElroy Shelby auto autos car cars kit kitcar microcar autoline Car-in-a-Box http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/videos/21/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/videos/21/" title="Heat-Seeking Missile" ><img src="http://www.viddler.com/thumbnail.action?token=ec781e25&size=1" width="114" height="86" alt="Heat-Seeking Missile" border="0" /></a></p> <p>Almost every luxury automaker builds an entry-level sports sedan. BMW makes the acclaimed 3 Series, Audi the elegant A4 and Cadillac the dashing CTS. Lexus has fielded a car in this segment since 2001 when they introduced their IS.Today, the IS stacks up favorably with its competitors, particularly the Teutons. But unlike the Germans, Lexus has never offered a high-performance version, or a high-performance anything for that matter, until now. Lexus stuck a bulls-eye on the back of vehicles like the M3 and RS4, and then they homed in like a marine sniper. Now they've just fired off their wickedly fast IS F, but the question is, did they hit their targets?</p><p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/" >autoline</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Audi">Audi</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Auto">Auto</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Autoline">Autoline</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/BMW">BMW</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/F">F</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/IS">IS</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/IS-F">IS-F</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/ISF">ISF</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/John">John</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Lexus">Lexus</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/M3">M3</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Mcelroy">Mcelroy</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/RS4">RS4</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Toyota">Toyota</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/autos">autos</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/car">car</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/cars">cars</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/fast">fast</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/luxury">luxury</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/performance">performance</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/sedan">sedan</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/sports">sports</a></p> Wed, 09 Apr 2008 18:10:36 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/videos/21/ autoline 2008-04-09T18:10:36Z Audi Auto Autoline BMW F IS IS-F ISF John Lexus M3 Mcelroy RS4 Toyota autos car cars fast luxury performance sedan sports autoline Heat-Seeking Missile http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/videos/20/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/videos/20/" title="Buying vs. Leasing" ><img src="http://www.viddler.com/thumbnail.action?token=7891bbc4&size=1" width="114" height="86" alt="Buying vs. Leasing" border="0" /></a></p> <p>Are the doors rusting off your favorite hatchback? Does your trusty old pickup burn more oil than it does gas? If so, youve probably thought about treating yourself to a new set of wheels. The only problem is there are so many different vehicles to choose from on todays new car market, picking the one thats right for you can be difficult at best. But choosing the right car is only half the battle. The other half is deciding whether to buy or lease. Each option has its plusses and minuses; which one is right for you?</p><p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/" >autoline</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Autoline">Autoline</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/John">John</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/McElroy">McElroy</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/auto">auto</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/autos">autos</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/car">car</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/cars">cars</a></p> Wed, 26 Mar 2008 22:28:10 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/videos/20/ autoline 2008-03-26T22:28:10Z Autoline John McElroy auto autos car cars autoline Buying vs. Leasing http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/videos/19/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/videos/19/" title="I Pity the Fool" ><img src="http://www.viddler.com/thumbnail.action?token=c64d86c5&size=1" width="114" height="86" alt="I Pity the Fool" border="0" /></a></p> <p>Laurence Tureaud starred on the iconic 80s television program The A-Team. Colloquially as Mr. T, he played the roll of B.A. Baracus, a crime-fighting ex-army commando. But even before he made it big in Hollywood, Mr. T worked as a bouncer and celebrity bodyguard where he earned himself a reputation for being tougher than rusty nails.Possibly drawing inspiration from Mr. T, GMs Hummer division is launching an all-new truck, the H3T. Other than sharing an obvious consonant in their names, the Hummer H3T and Mr. T have at least one more characteristic in common, toughness. The H3T unites the go-anywhere ruggedness of the H3 SUV with the carry-anything capability of a Chevy pickupSure, other manufacturers build similar, half-breed trucks, but even the Ford Explorer Sport Trac lacks the off-road pedigree of this Hummer.</p><p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/" >autoline</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Autoline">Autoline</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Explorer">Explorer</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Ford">Ford</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/GM">GM</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/H2">H2</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/H3">H3</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/H3T">H3T</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Hummer">Hummer</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/John">John</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/McElroy">McElroy</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Pickup">Pickup</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Sport">Sport</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Trac">Trac</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Truck">Truck</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/auto">auto</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/autos">autos</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/car">car</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/cars">cars</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/off">off</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/road">road</a></p> Wed, 26 Mar 2008 21:52:45 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/videos/19/ autoline 2008-03-26T21:52:45Z Autoline Explorer Ford GM H2 H3 H3T Hummer John McElroy Pickup Sport Trac Truck auto autos car cars off road autoline I Pity the Fool http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/videos/18/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/videos/18/" title="The Breakthrough We've Been Waiting For?" ><img src="http://www.viddler.com/thumbnail.action?token=aa910bc6&size=1" width="114" height="86" alt="The Breakthrough We've Been Waiting For?" border="0" /></a></p> <p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/" >autoline</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Autoline">Autoline</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/John">John</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/McElroy">McElroy</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/auto">auto</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/autos">autos</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/breakthrough">breakthrough</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/car">car</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/cars">cars</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/coskata">coskata</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/ethanol">ethanol</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/fuel">fuel</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/gm">gm</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/industry">industry</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/technology">technology</a></p> Fri, 14 Mar 2008 05:11:02 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/videos/18/ autoline 2008-03-14T05:11:02Z Autoline John McElroy auto autos breakthrough car cars coskata ethanol fuel gm industry technology autoline The Breakthrough We've Been Waiting For?

And lucky for GM, theyve jumped on the crossover bandwagon just in time, as gas prices have soared past three dollars for a gallon of regular-strength, 87 octane.Consumers are tired of taking out second mortgages on their homes just to fill up their vehicles; theyre ready to bail out of thirsty SUVs and get into more refined and efficient crossovers. So heres a peek at what I saw in St. Louis while experiencing the new Buick Enclave.</p><p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/" >autoline</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Autoline">Autoline</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/John">John</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/McElroy">McElroy</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/auto">auto</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/autos">autos</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/buick">buick</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/car">car</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/cars">cars</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/crossover">crossover</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/enclave">enclave</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/gm">gm</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/industry">industry</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/suv">suv</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/technology">technology</a></p> Fri, 14 Mar 2008 04:01:01 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/videos/16/ autoline 2008-03-14T04:01:01Z Autoline John McElroy auto autos buick car cars crossover enclave gm industry suv technology autoline Buick's Enclave, GM's Encore http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/videos/15/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/videos/15/" title="Civic (Heavy) Duty" ><img src="http://www.viddler.com/thumbnail.action?token=3877a794&size=1" width="114" height="86" alt="Civic (Heavy) Duty" border="0" /></a></p> <p>In America, the Honda Civic is known for reliability and fuel economy, and its no different across the pond, except Honda offers Europeans more stylish designs and diesel engines.Recently I had the opportunity to test drive a diesel-powered, five door, Euro-spec Civic for an entire week. And while that may not sound very exciting, the car was a blast to drive. With an oil-burning heart, that little Civic pulled like a Freightliner and probably had the enough torque to move Mt. Fuji, but best of all, it managed to deliver some eye-opening fuel economy numbers.</p><p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/" >autoline</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/Autoline">Autoline</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/John">John</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/McElroy">McElroy</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/advanced">advanced</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/auto">auto</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/autos">autos</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/car">car</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/cars">cars</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/civic">civic</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/diesel">diesel</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/european">european</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/honda">honda</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/industry">industry</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/tags/technology">technology</a></p> Fri, 14 Mar 2008 03:10:19 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/autoline/videos/15/ autoline 2008-03-14T03:10:19Z Autoline John McElroy advanced auto autos car cars civic diesel european honda industry technology autoline Civic (Heavy) Duty
