Ford Moves Aggressively For Mainstream Navigation System
Ford now looks at the latest trend for auto manufacturers of putting navigation system on mainstream cars even as an option.
Among the six Ford 2006 Ford Motor vehicles to offer navigation systems are the 2006 Lincoln Zephyr and Mercury Mountaineer while the other four nameplates are said to be the Ford Explorer and Explorer Sport Trac SUVs, Five Hundred sedan and Freestyle sport wagon.
The idea of popularizing car navigation system on mass produced Ford cars is an attractive feature for most car enthusiasts. Common only in the luxury segment such as the Lincoln Navigator, on which the option costs around $3,000 on the 4x4 Ultimate editions, the car navigation system will soon be more affordable as foreseen by Ford.
This is an aggressive step by Ford to be competitive and sway the family sedan market into its turf. Mainstream vehicles will soon find car navigation system on its option list as hand held global positioning phones and the concept of beaming satellite map data into the vehicles are also being considered by auto makers.
Popularizing car navigation system will better enhance the features of mass produced Ford vehicles and make it more affordable.

| Cars - All You Need To Know About Pick-up Trucks
Although diesel prices have shot up to about Bt23 per litre, cars with diesel engines are still more popular than their petrol-driven counterparts due to their durability and functionality in varying weather conditions. This is thanks to the lack of a high-powered ignition system. In Thailand, diesel-powered pickups will enjoy continued popularity for decades to come. Motorists, especially in the provinces, need vehicles that can tackle varying road conditions and carry lots of cargo and people. Thus we see pickups being modified for many purposes and hence classified into several vehicle categories.I'm interested car in the Mitsubishi Strada.

| Cars - How To Buy A Used Car At 90% Savings Off The Book Value
To buy a used car is a great idea for saving money. Everyone knows that a new car lost 65% of its value in the first 5 years. But the case would be more extreme for a 1 to 2 years old car, it will lost its value 30-40%. If you don¡¦t mind to drive a used car (I mean a 2 to 5 years old car, it looks pretty new) rather than a new car, you may save much money to pay many other bills. If you want to keep the car not too old, you may resell it after driving for 2 to 3 years and buy another newer one. The value of the car will only drop 15% or less for a 5 years old car. Therefore, your driving cost for 2-3 years would only be 10-15% of the car¡¦s original value. The price quote above was only the price you buy from an ordinary... | |
