Steve Romshek, a former salesman at the Huber dealership in Omaha (that’s the one that sold the Hummers), has been arrested, while Marilyn Maskill, owner of an Overland Park, Kan., trucking company, hasn’t been arrested yet. According to an Associated Press report, the crafty pair sold the Hummers in 2005 and 2006 to a small broker in Chillicothe, Mo. The Hummers were then resold overseas and exported to Nigeria, Germany, Canada, Japan, just to name a few countries. With the fraudulent titles, they were able to pocket more than $500,000 in unearned incentives from General Motors – and that’s money they shouldn’t have been eligible to collect. In total, the pair is facing 11 counts of wire fraud and one charge of conspiracy.

As for the Huber dealership, they cooperated with FBI investigators and settled things General Motors and regulators a few years back. They also had to pay a $100,000 fine to a state licensing board, but admitted no wrongdoing. It’s interesting to note that this fine was the largest ever handed down by the Nebraska Vehicle Industry Licensing Board.

It’s still unknown whether or not the couple who owned the Missouri car brokerage will be charged.  They could be on the hook, as they bought more than 200 Hummers from Huber in 2005 and 2006.

We’ll keep you posted when we hear of any further developments. Until then, don’t try to mess with GM – they mean business and apparently have the FBI’s number on speed dial.

Infiniti emerg-E (non-E Emerge as noted earlier) Concept on display in the second week of this month at the Geneva Motor Show 2012, is not only interesting from the technological concept and design or appearance. Based on the release issued by Infiniti Europe, the birth of emerg-E sponsored by the Government of the United Kingdom. Great!With the emerg-E, it is hoped the process of commercialization of low emission cars that will operate in central London can be accelerated. As a result, a large city is safe for residents and visitors!

*Lotus
Emerg-E despite using Infiniti brand, the development carried out in conjunction with Lotus. ”This collaboration with Lotus for development of technology rather than design,” said Shiro Nakamura, Senior Vice President and Chief Creative Officer of Infiniti in a special interview with KompasOtomotif after introducing these cars to journalists who also attended by Christian Horner, boss of Red Bull Racing (RBR) and pebalapnya Swiss Sebastien Buemi.

On the other hand, the British Government chose as the parent company of Infiniti premium cars from Japan, Nissan is known for one of its products are environmentally friendly, namely Leaf – 100 percent electric car – which has been mass produced.

Range Extrender
Emerg-E is not a pure electric car. Recognized by Infiniti as a series hybrid cars or “Extended Range”. Therefore, this compact sports car (length 4464 mm) equipped with a gasoline engine in charge of the battery or generator drive (can also directly supply the energy produced to the electric motor for street cars).

Thus, the emerg-E-polluting but still very low, 55 g / km, it was when the 3-cylinder gasoline engine with a capacity of 1.2 liters is used.This car was really clean claimed that only operate in pure electric power from the battery.

According to Shiro Nakamura, Infiniti chose an electric car or hybrid series Extrender Range for the development of automotive technology is there. ”Hybrid cars are just a transition. Later electricity. Demands of increasingly stringent environmental friendly cars. That’s why we chose the electric car Range Extender, “tegasnya.Toh, when converting to a pure electric car, just remove the gasoline engine alone!

Two Electric Motors
The main driver of this sports car is the two electric motors, each directly rotate each rear wheel. Sertiap electric motor capable of producing maximum power of 150 kW or 201 PS. Now, if both are combined, a 300 kW or 402 PS. For this reason, Infiniti claims emerg-E is “400 Wild Horses silk robe”!
With a weight of 1598 kg, the car with wind resistance (cd) 0.34 mapu is claimed to sprint 0-97 km / h in 4 seconds. While the ability to reach top speed (210 kph) from the stop, about 30 seconds.

When the emerg-E only rely on energy from the battery is fully charged, can be used for a distance of 50 km. But certainly, do not have to stop when the batteries run out of energy. Gasoline engine is ready to help, charge the battery or generator drove through.Despite only have 30.6 liter gas tank, can be claimed for a distance of nearly 500 miles or fuel consumption is only 16 km per liter!

Trilogy
Emerg-E is the latest model of car trilogy Infini concept developed in Europe within three years back. The first concept car – also a two-door sport-style – and the second is the Essence Etheria. All three are named with the first letter “E” aims to create continuity with the design philosophy of “Inspired Performance”.

Indeed, the market CX-7 is less exciting. In 2007, when newly introduced, only 41 653 units recorded the highest number. Worse,two years later, its sales drop by half, to live 20 583 units. AlthoughMazda is trying to change the look with just a touch on one side ofthe grille, it can not boost sales.

GM Indonesia officially launched the Chevrolet Colorado, last night (3/5/2012) at Puri Begawan, Bogor. This is the first vehicle and the pickup in the market will compete with the Mitsubishi Triton, Ford Ranger, Nissan Navara, and the Mazda BT50.Consumers are offered in three variants, starting from the lowest extra cabin with a tag of Rp 265 million, double cabin LT Rp 323 million and double cab LTZ Rp 343 million.

“All-New Chevrolet Colorado has been designed and manufactured as a mid-size pickup truck of the most powerful and has the highest performance in its class. We are proud to present it in Indonesia. Pick-up is marketed in 60 countries around the world features, technology, design, exterior , as well as the best interior design and the latest 100-year history of Chevrolet, “said President of GM Southeast Asia, Martin Apfel who attended the launch of the All-New Chevrolet Colorado in Bogor.

Following the success of Colorado in Thailand, Martin Apfel believes that the first mid-size pickup-engined all-new Duramax turbo-diesel 2.500cc will be able to meet market demands double cabin Indonesia, including the mining industry, oil, gas and petroleum, and the freight industry and services, which currently shows remarkable development in Indonesia.

“The three variants of Colorado has four-wheel drive capability with 5-speed manual transmission,” said Marcos A. Purty, President of GM Indonesia. Marcos added that the market double cabin in Indonesia still has a great opportunity to grow. In 2011, sales reached 17 815 units or grew 19 percent from 2010, and is able to reach a new market share to 2% of total car sales nationally in the same year.

Parties did not set a target for Chevrolet Colorado this year. But according to Marcos, it will provide a supply to every consumer need and complete after sales service is good.

Now we can witness how Kia is in full (and risky) venture into an entirely new market for the brand after the good reception given to the GT concept car first seen at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show a few months ago. Just enough that the audience for this Auto Show runs out of breath by the design of the car leading to the design department received final approval by the directors of Kia to move into the commercial phase of development of this sport.

One of the most innovative features for an Asian company is planning to create a whole family of vehicles based on the concept GT, much in the vein of the BMW 6 Series will include a 4-door Coupé from next year. It is very possible even to see a family car with sporty lines very much in the tradition of Alfa Romeo.

Clearly, the German Audi and BMW are well on the lookout to the development of a line of cars that compete directly with its flagship products, with the added factor of a considerably lower price without it even imply lower quality or reliability.

The concept that we saw in Frankfurt had a 3.3-liter V6 turbo with 390 horsepower so you can probably expect something similar, although not ruled out hybrid powertrains.

Finally today BMW has decided to end the rumors and has issued a press release with a lot of photographs that makes clear that the car goes. This is a 2 +2 display described as the BMW ActiveHybrid technology. That is, according to the company, a symbol of high performance and efficient conduct of the future.

To illustrate that most of the public understands that it is, would a car with a BMW M performance combined with fuel economy and emissions of a small modern car in the high-end segment. This is the core of the BMW EfficientDynamics development strategy.

The car uses a hybrid configuration consisting of a three-cylinder turbodiesel with two electric motors. It develops 356 hp and 800 Nm of torque is transferred to all four wheels driven by electric motors located in the front and rear. According to BMW accelerates from 0 to 100 in 4.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 250 km / h (electronically limited). Consumption is 3.76 liters per 100 km and emits only 99 grams of CO2 per kilometer.

Being a hybrid car such as “plug-in”, the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics is able to cover the entire driving cycle for metering using only the electric motors. Considering the generation of electricity for electric motors (according to EU joint production), we obtain a value of just 50 grams CO2 per kilometer.

Having car today is not a luxury but a necessity that does not mean that there are brands that combine to perfection the binomial. Honda is one of them.

On Tuesday, November 29th was the day that the new model of this important Japanese brand presented its latest model, the Honda CR-V 12 , a truck aerodynamics, sports and the best technology that makes the management more exciting and personal.

The qualities of the CR-V were shown in an impressive “performance” and then are presented.

The event took place in the presence of various media and had a unique presentation chaired byLeonardo de Lozanne and Ana Serradilla .
