Mercedes-Benz Ener-G-Force Concept Impressively Intimidating

2012-11-21T16:13:37Z

Winning and staying ahead is the top priority of many car makers especially in the face of the 2012 LA Auto Show Design Challenge. While other car makers have yet to reveal their creations, Mercedes-Benz has unveiled its entrant in the challenge, the Mercedes-Benz Ener-G-Force Concept!

This concept vehicle manifests what a law enforcement vehicle will look like in 2025, according to Mercedes-Benz�s point of view anyway.

]]> The first impression that the Ener-G-Force Concept exudes is intimidation. It looks so solid and can beat down any other vehicle on the road! The sculpted bodywork, huge tires and wheels shout reliability. But looking closely, its maker did not do away with the style that is so much like the G-Wagen vehicle made in 1979. Those similarities are found in the power dome hood, upright grille and blinkers integrated in the arches of the wheel.

Its intimidating appearance is not the only thing this concept car boasts. Its power train is impressive too and environment-friendly! It is powered by hydrogen and water serves as its main fuel. If you will notice, the roof has what looks like a cargo rack on the roof. That contraption is actually there to collect water to be stored in tanks and then directed to a converter that turns it into hydrogen.

Clearly, the Mercedes-Benz Ener-G-Force is one impressive concept vehicle! It�s worth watching out for at the upcoming L.A. Auto Show!

Honda Recalls SUVs for Headlight Wiring Problem

2012-03-30T17:39:56Z

It�s not only Porsche and BMW cars that are experiencing some problems. These two brands recently issued a recall of several thousands of vehicles for fire risk. But it seems they�re not the only ones having problems. Honda is too.

Honda has issued a recall for over 550,000 CR-V and Pilot SUVs because of a wiring problem with the headlight. Take note that affected CR-V SUVsmodels are those from years 2002 to 2004 while Pilot SUVs are those manufactured in 2003.

]]> The problem lies in the headlight wiring system which could fail and cause the low-beam headlight to malfunction. If this doesn�t work the possibility of a crash is higher. But don�t worry since no crashes or injuries arising from this problem have been reported.

Affected owners will receive a notice this April and Honda will replace the malfunctioning parts.

Porsche and BMW Recall Cars Due to Fire Risk!

2012-03-27T11:00:16Z

Porsche and BMW owners listen up! Your car could be one of the models affected by the massive recall issued by the said German carmakers.

If you own a BMW 5 and 6 series model years 2003 to 2010 you�re definitely affected. The problem with the said models is quite serious because it of a faulty battery cable cover. A badly-placed battery cable cover could cause failure in the electrical system and this could cause the whole vehicle to catch fire.

This is one of the worst recalls ever for BMW because there are about 1.3 million affected vehicles. Affected owners are encouraged to contact their local BMW dealership in order to address the problem suitably.

]]> Porsche, on the other hand, is recalling the 2012 911 Carrera S. According to NHTSA website, there are about 1,232 units affected. See, the problem lies in the coolant and fuel lines. Interference between these lines could cause the fuel line to be disconnected from the connector and if that happens fuel leak might occur. This then could cause the engine to misfire or stall. But the worst scenario is that it could cause fire risk!

Affected Porsche owners will be notified by Porsche and they can have their cars repaired for free. Owners can also contact Porsche through 1-800-767-7243.
