PT Indomobil Suzuki Sales did not launch a variant of their best-selling MPV, APV. However, in booth Indonesia International Motor Show, Suzuki, Suzuki APV beautifully framed.
Lettering on the plate number of New APV Arena. When most car manufacturers white wash his new car with white, Suzuki had precisely the mainstay of other colors, ie blue.
The most obvious external changes have on the already grill more elegant as well as sporty, as well as air circulation at the bottom of nuanced chrome bumper.
While the stern, though not many changes, but some like the new look on the bumper and the addition of a new exhaust to make it looks more fresh.
Entry into the cabin, you'll be treated to a sporty and dynamic feel of the cabin space is dominated by blue color, the skin layer jok, as well as door trim.
Fun anymore, New APV Arena was only appropriate to make passengers more comfortable, especially with added seat middle row captain seat type.
Then the big question, is this the successor of Suzuki APV? For as in previous years, Suzuki always show the first prototype model on the mat like IIMS before eventually launched.
However, if you can not wait to have APV with a view like that, please reach for the pocket more of USD 40 million, to be brought to the garage of the house.

Car show in Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS) 2010 is currently underway. But of the many cars on display, Which car to be the most expensive and cheapest cars brought into the exhibition ATPM
IIMS 2010, held in the region JIExpo, Kemayoran, Jakarta, occupying 57 830 square meters and up to July 29, 2010 has been drawing attention from the 147 476 visitors.
And instead of the many existing car, the Audi R8 FSI Quattro Audi that was the most expensive car at IIMS with the official price ranging from USD 5.3 billion.
Meanwhile, Indonesia's national car, Wasps become the cheapest car on display at IIMS with the price USD 48 million only.
Actually there was another car like the Rolls-Royce Ghost which is suspected to have higher prices and go on display in this IIMS. But the car was not trafficked by the official car manufacturer, but only just taken by the General Importer. The price is certainly not the general importer.
Well then, let's peel what greatness Audi R8 FSI Quattro is a car that became the most expensive and Wasps cheapest car at this prestigious exhibition.
Viewed physically Audi R8 FSI Quattro do imply an aura of exotic sports is so strong. Design Audi R8 FSI Quattro impressed very sharp to support the dynamics and aerodynamics of this car.
It was not surprising. Audi R8 FSI Quattro For complemented by a capacity of 2.5 liter V10 engine direct injection FSI technology is already applying the typical German manufacturer.
With these machines, cars that trafficked by PT Garuda Mataram Motor which became Indonesia's car manufacturers Audi is finally able to accelerate from rest up to the speed of 100 km per hour in just 3.9 only and reach peak speeds up to 316 km / hr.
Great ability that it is not strange, especially when we find out if this car has enough power to reach 525 hp malignant ie up to 530 Nm of torque.
While Wasps made by PT Super Gasindo Jaya (SGJ) derived from Cimahi, Bandung, West Java with a cute and minimalist look.
Car body shape that takes this concept city car body design contrasts sharply with the Audi R8 FSI Quattro. Because when the Audi R8 FSI Quattro appear with sharp lines on his body, Wasps appear with curves that tend to impress the cute and rounded when viewed.
Similarly with the kitchen spur, Wasps and Audi R8 FSI Quattro is not a car that should be comparison. Because if Audi R8 FSI Quattro has reversed bonnet crazy machines, Wasps perform with the original engine design brings Indonesia's eco-friendly.
Wasps are currently carrying four stroke engine with three cylinders which is equivalent to 650 cc engine. This car can accommodate four adult passengers and can be accelerated by gentle manual transmission 4-speed thanks to their application.
According to the Project Manager Njoto Kuntoaji Wasp tells the engine block has been using aluminum alloy. "This is the same as those used luxury cars such as Jaguar and others," he said.
How else Wasps is Indonesia's national car and so this could be to be Indonesia's future cars.
Curious about both? Just go straight IIMS arena in 2010. In this most prestigious auto show, Audi R8 FSI Quattro A8 can be enjoyed at Hall JIExpo. While Wasps will be looking at their booth in the corner of the JI Expo Hall C2 arena.
Volkswagen will now be offering a near-bench seating arrangement for the rear seats of the Comfort Coupe or CC. Launched almost exactly a year ago, the CC had initially been sold as a four-seat, four-door coupe.
Apparently customers liked the shape and value on offer, but were turned off
by the four seats. We are South Africans and we like ferrying entire neighbourhoods in our cars. Prices were not increased as a result of the new optional seat.
The CC comes in four models, with the 2.0 TSI engine worth 147kW being the baseline petrol model and supplied with either a manual or a DSG gearbox. The second petrol is the 3.6-litre V6 running on all four wheels through the 4Motion AWD system and a DSG. The V6 produces 220kW. One diesel in the form of a 2.0 TDI is sold.
Ford’s new fun and fashionable compact car, Figo, has been developed and designed with the customer’s desires in mind. Figo derives its name from the colloquial Italian expression, which translated into English means ‘cool’. With its stylish design language and practical layout, the Figo is set to be a hit among South African consumers.
The new Figo is based on proven global small car architecture. It is available with a choice of two of Ford's class-leading, fuel-efficient engines, the 1.4-litre petrol Duratec with 62kW at 6000rpm and maximum torque of 127Nm at 4000rpm, and the 1.4-litre turbo diesel Duratorq making 51kW at 4000rpm, with torque of 160Nm at 2000rpm. All models are equipped with five-speed manual gearboxes. The chassis has been thoroughly retuned to suit market conditions with a more compliant suspension tailored for local road conditions.
The exterior and interior styling of the new Figo are fresh and include bold interpretations of Ford's kinetic design philosophy.
“The Ford Figo is an exciting new introduction to the local market. It offers both style and practicality at an affordable price,” says Ford Marketing Manager, Ben Pillay. “It's small enough to weave through city traffic but big enough to accommodate a family.
The space and practicality that define the Figo are more commonly associated with larger, more expensive vehicles rather than those typically found in the sub B-Value segment. The precise and responsive steering of the Figo instills confidence, while a fine balance between ride comfort and control is ensured through the optimized suspension design. There’s no shortage of big-car features either, the Figo features substantial technology including MP3/iPod connectivity, dual front airbags, ABS with EBD and PATS (Passive Anti Theft System).
Research has shown that there is a growing market of young buyers, particularly among women. The Figo offers a fantastic platform for them to enter the vehicle market, affordably without sacrificing on style and comfort.
“While affordability and practicality are of great importance in this segment buyers are not willing to sacrifice on style and performance. The Figo offers a perfect combination of style and affordability,” adds Pillay.
The design team focused on listening to customers prior to the initial design process ensuring that the final design of the Figo was representative of the desires of the market. Ford designers set out to create an attractive exterior coupled with a stylised and exquisitely crafted interior that offers generous proportions and delivers exceptional value for money.
''Creating appeal and communicating value to the customer starts with good design," says Emily Lai, colour and materials Design Manager for Figo. "You want a car that reflects and makes a statement about you."
According to Lai, lowering the cost of a vehicle doesn't mean quality; luxury and character have to be excluded. "You start with a quality baseline and build from there," she explains.
The Figo's solid design, good stance and contemporary silhouette are refreshing features for a vehicle in its class. "These features graduate Figo into the next class of vehicles, making it look like more car than you would expect for the money. Small doesn't have to be boring," says Scott Strong, Ford Asia Pacific and Africa (APA) Design Director.
Designers were careful to ensure that the final blue print shows Figo as a legitimate form of transportation. Despite its youthful spirit, Figo is mature and smart. "Some manufacturers make the mistake of thinking small cars have to look cute, almost toy like," he says. "Figo communicates solidness and safety, and drives like a car rather than a toy."
Beyond design, Figo is all about lifestyle. With features like CD with MP3 compatibility and 'Aux-in' port for iPod connectivity, the new Ford instantly connects with the energy and vitality of the buyer. And with a proven, global chassis, Figo delivers a strong promise of reliability, functionality and performance.
In addition to excellent fuel economy customers are offered further value for money through Ford’s ability to secure affordable spare parts and offer reliable servicing through its extensive dealer network. The Figo comes with a 4-year/120 000km fully comprehensive warranty and 5-year corrosion warranty. Service intervals are 20 000km for petrol derivatives and 15 000km for diesel.

Both have appeared at the Tokyo Motor Show last year. "We're not finished this two-car entry to Indonesia because there are several obstacles, including for delivery time too long," says Endro Nugroho, Marketing Director of SIS.
But as knowledge for the end, pairs of SIS and equipment specifications and posters that contain both cars this way of working. And do not forget to publish video presentations about the workings of both in the middle of the booth Suzuki.
Yet there is nothing wrong if we keep the car carried a review of technology is environmentally friendly. Starting from the Suzuki Swift Hybrid. This car has a blend between the conventional combustion engine, an electric motor and battery to store electric.
The difference, fuel engine was replaced with K-Series engines, K6B a capacity of only 658cc. As a substitute for the missing energy has been put up an electric motor. The results of this car can actually cover the distance 20 km without consuming a drop of gasoline.
And because it uses a system of hybrid plug-in, rechargeable battery from anywhere including from the mains at home. But do not worry about having to run out of battery power, because after the battery run out then the generator will work in motion by the earlier 658cc engine fuel.
SX4-FCV
Next up was the Suzuki SX4-FCV. As the name implies, Fuel-Cell Vehicle, the car was being environmentally friendly because fuel cell systems apply. SX4-FCV carries 70 MPa pressurized hydrogen tank and compact capacitor that was developed by Suzuki.
SX4-FCV is currently undergoing road trials in general agreement with the government. The test result will be the benchmark for developing fuel cell systems Suzuki better.

In the future such a tiny city car car believed to have ditched the car families such as the Multi Purpose Vehicle (MPV) and becoming one of the best-selling car model in Indonesia.

The first trend that developed at this time is the issue of fuel efficiency that was almost to the attention of all parties whether it be producer or consumer.
It is possible that in future advertisements would no longer prioritize car advanced features but more to show the efficiency problems that they could achieve.
While the second trend, according to John is a small family trend with the number of children who are not a lot.
"Judging from current and predicted demographic future, the possibility Indonesian families will be dominated by small family with little children. Life would be more individual, "he said.
While the third issue that will make the city car segment is the fact that demand is now increasingly jammed roads only.
Even many who predicted the streets within the complex it will be stalled when car sales growth is not accompanied by the addition of a long road.
"In those conditions, a small car that can be possessed-skid will be preferred. Moreover,car-park home or apartment will be more limited, "he added.
That's why John believes these small car segment will continue to evolve in the future. When a city car last year accounted for only about 3 percent of total national car sales, this year John expects to grow at rates of at least 5 percent.
"The parameters most easily seen is the increasing number of brands playing in this segment. That proves my eye with their eyes also think if the city car has a bright future in Indonesia," concluded John

From the SUV segment which includes many devotees are in Indonesia, Subaru New Outback presents, intended for those who argue that the uneven surfaces and perfection can not be united, they obviously have not seen the Subaru Outback.
The design of mixing between an SUV with a muscular MPV family car that has a roomy cabin space. Plus of course with luxury features and functional support for passenger comfort.

The Audi A7 has been revealed. “The Audi what” someone might say? The Audi A7, a big four-door coupe with a length of almost 5 metres. Where does it fit in exactly? As the model badge points out, family-wise it sits between the A6 and the A8, but assumedly harbours sportier ambitions than both. Its main competitor is the Mercedes-Benz CLS but one or two of its models will also punch it out with the Porsche Panamera and the Aston Martin Rapide.
Some hallmarks include things like LED headlights (not daytime running lights) which will be optional in some models, a mostly-aluminium body, those four doors, and strictly speaking, four seats, although the rear arrangement does not completely rule out someone sitting in the middle. The luggage area can swallow up to 1390 litres of stuff.
Audi has given the interior lots of high-end appointments to increase passenger and driver comfort levels. Such includes the new MMI system with navigation and other goodies, an optional Bang & Olufsen sound system, ambient LED lighting, head-up display also an option and others.
There will be four engines available at market launch. They range in power from 150kW to 220kW, both petrol and turbo diesel. Just look at the new A8 and even A6 for exactly what kind of engines we can expect. Does that include the 426kW RS 6 engine? Your guess is as good as mine. But given that pretty much every Audi model (except A3 and A8) has an RS version…
Standard drive is a front-wheel setup, with quattro being offered for the more expensive versions.
Audi South Africa is certainly bringing the A7 over in 2011, probably as a high-end family sports coupe, which means steeper-than-normal pricing and only the powerful engines.
Isn't it so refreshing to see a sixteen year-old dressed like this?
I didn't immediately know if I wanted to take this shot. While I was deciding I thought about my own daughters and realized it would be nice for them to see a young lady ,that is obviously very cool, dressed like this instead of the constant media parade of Britneys and Lindsays. This is the anti-"Jersey Shore" (I mean the show not the actual place)
MINI is making a comeback on the international rally circuit. From 2011, the brand will compete at selected rounds of the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) and will go on to contest the entire season from 2012 onwards. This involvement is planned for several years.
The car charged with this task is the MINI Countryman WRC, which is being developed by Prodrive, in close cooperation with MINI, and is based on the production model. The powerful heart of the racing car is a 1.6-litre, four-cylinder turbo-charged engine from BMW Motorsport. The car complies with the new Super2000 regulations put in place by the International Automobile Federation (FIA), which stipulate the use of turbo engines with 1,600 cc displacement and four-wheel drive combined with an increased emphasis on road relevant technologies. The result is a significant 25% reduction in overall costs. The first test drive for the MINI Countryman WRC, which will also be available to customer teams, is planned for autumn 2010.
This decision sees MINI continue its success story in the world of rallying. In the 1960s, the MINI Cooper S caused a sensation with victories at the legendary Monte Carlo Rally. The company also tasted success on many occasions in the European Rally Championship. Having already demonstrated the sporty character of its models in many countries in the MINI CHALLENGE, the brand is now taking its presence in motorsport to a new level with the commitment to the WRC.
Ian Robertson, member of the Board of Management of BMW AG, responsible for Sales and Marketing, says: “I am delighted MINI will be represented on one of the most popular stages in international motorsport. The success enjoyed on the rally circuit has made a vital contribution to the image of the brand. MINI customers have always shown great interest in motorsport. I am convinced we will add a few more chapters to our success story in rallying.
The MINI Countryman provides an excellent basis, from which to create a competitive racing car for the world championship. In Prodrive, we have a strong and experienced partner. We will work hard together over the coming months to ensure we get the project on track right from the word go.” “This is a very exciting new motorsport programme,” said Prodrive Chairman, David Richards. “During the 1960s MINI captured the imagination of the world when the tiny car took on the might of V8 powered Fords and won what was then one of the toughest motorsport events, the 4000km Monte Carlo rally. I believe our new MINI will become a firm favourite of the latest generation of rally fans, just as it is adored by its millions of owners across the world. We already have a significant number of confirmed customer orders for the new MINI rally car with the first deliveries scheduled for the start of the 2011 season.”
Prodrive has been working on developing the MINI Countryman WRC since early 2009. The company was formed in 1984 by Richards, who won the World Rally Championship as co-driver to Ari Vatanen (FI) three years earlier. Based in Banbury (GB), Prodrive has developed into a leading independent company in the motorsport and automobile sector under Richards' guidance, and today employs over 500 staff. Prodrive's many successes currently include six overall victories in the World Rally Championship, five titles in the British Touring Car Championship and three class victories at the Le Mans 24 Hours (FR).
BMW was present when the World Rally Championship made its debut back in 1973. Achim Warmbold (DE) and Jean Todt (FR) tasted victory in their BMW 2002 at the Alpenfahrt Rally in Austria. However, MINI's tradition in this discipline stretches back even further: Pat Moss (GB) clinched the first victory with the MINI 850 at the 1959 Mini Miglia National Rally. MINI ultimately enjoyed its finest hours at the Monte Carlo Rally in 1964, 1965 and 1967: the MINI Cooper S celebrated three overall victories at the most iconic rallying event in the world.
Paddy Hopkirk (IR, 1964), Timo Mäkinen (FI, 1965) and Rauno Aaltonen (FI, 1967) joined the list of winners at this prestigious event. In 1965, “Rally Professor” Aaltonen also won the European Rally Championship. Tony Ambrose (GB) and Mäkinen finished second and third to round off an excellent overall result for the MINI Cooper S. In addition, MINI drivers also enjoyed many individual wins at renowned rallies throughout Europe. The last BMW World Rally Championship victory was achieved in 1987 in Corsica by Bernard Béguin (FR) driving a BMW M3 which was built and run by Prodrive.
From 2011, over 40 years down the line, the MINI Countryman WRC will be charged with adding further chapters to this success story. It bridges the gap between the classic MINI concept and a contemporary Sports Activity Vehicle. The brand’s first model to feature four doors and a wide-opening tailgate, it offers more space – which can be used in a wide variety of ways – to go with its raised seating position and optimised ride comfort. Plus, the “go-kart” feeling for which MINI is a byword has been preserved and takes on a new dimension with the optional MINI ALL4 all-wheel-drive system. The MINI Countryman expresses the defining virtues of the brand in terms of design, premium quality, handling, efficiency and the scope for customisation – and does so in an absorbingly individual way.
The next step down from the racing version is the MINI Cooper S Countryman. With its twin-scroll turbocharger and direct injection now complemented by fully variable valve management, the 1.6-litre four-cylinder petrol engine in the range topping model offers by far the best balance between output and fuel consumption in its displacement class. The engine generates an impressive 135kW and allows the MINI Cooper S Countryman to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.6 seconds. Furthermore, the MINIMALISM concept sees wide-ranging technology designed to reduce fuel consumption and emissions – such as Brake Energy Regeneration, the Auto Start/Stop function, Shift Point Display and the need-based operation of ancillary components – fitted as standard and in model-specific combinations.
The MINI Cooper S Countryman and MINI Cooper D Countryman can be ordered as an option with MINI ALL4 permanent all-wheel drive. Here, an electromagnetic centre differential positioned directly on the final drive varies the distribution of power seamlessly between the front and rear axles. In normal driving conditions up to 50%of the drive is sent to the rear wheels, in extreme situations as much as 100%. The result is a new, traction-led expression of the agile handling for which MINI is famed.
For 60 years now, the 1000 Lakes Rally – which then became the Rally Finland – has been a classic fixture for all the crews. The event is often nicknamed the ‘Jyväskylä Grand Prix’ and it has featured seven times in the top 10 fastest rallies ever held in the history of the World Rally Championship. The quickest Rally Finland took place in 2005, with an average speed of 122.86 kph recorded on the event.
For the eighth round of the season, Citroën Racing has made some adjustments to its team nominations. Sébastien Ogier and Julien Ingrassia join the Citroën Total World Rally Team for the first time, while Dani Sordo and Marc Marti form part of the Citroën Junior Team as team mates to Kimi Räikkönen and Kaj Lindström. The Spanish crew will also be nominated to score points for the Citroën Junior Team in Japan and Great Britain this year.
“The objective of the Citroën Junior Team is to allow young drivers to perform to the best of their abilities at the highest level,” pointed out Team Manager Benoit Nogier. “We have seen this goal being achieved with Sébastien Ogier and we are very happy for him. His results reflect the hard work that the entire team has put in since the start of the season. We hope to be at the same level with Dani, so that he too can show what he is capable of.”
Dani Sordo, aged 27, is currently sixth in the World Championship standings and has finished on the podium twice this year, thanks to third place in Portugal and second in Bulgaria. The Spaniard looks upon his new association with the Citroën Junior Team as a fresh opportunity. “I’ll be feeling less pressure,” he said. “By switching teams, I won’t always have to drive with the fundamental need to score manufacturer points for Citroën at the back of my mind. I’m going to concentrate on just doing my own rally and delivering the best performance possible.”
For the first time in his short World Rally Championship career, Kimi Räikkönen will be starting an event that he has already contested last year. In 2009, the 2007 Formula One World Champion showed some highly impressive pace before unfortunately going off the road.
“We were able to get back up to speed on gravel thanks to a good pre-Finland test,” said Kimi. “Those testing kilometres are absolutely vital on a rally like this one. The experience from last year is certainly going to help, but there is such a performance gap between a Super 2000 machine and a World Rally Car that it’s almost like driving a different rally. I’m really looking forward to getting started. When I was in Formula One, I never got the chance to race in front of my home crowd. I know that there are going to be loads of fans out in service and by the side of the stages. For me, this is a real highlight of the season!”
