Mitsubishi - Still a Contender : New cars 2009
Mitsubishi - Still a Contender
by Jon Barlow
I used to work with a guy who told me that his wife worked for Colt Cars in Cirencester England. I remember at the time saying to him "Who the hell are they!" Which I suppose was a bit impolite but I thought I knew most car manufacturers and had never heard of them. Luckily he ignored my rudeness and explained that Colt Cars were a joint venture with Mitsubishi Motors, who I had heard of, and were established largely for the purposes of importing and distributing Mitsubishi vehicles in the UK.
I had forgotten that Britain used to have strict import quotas on foreign vehicles in a vain attempt to protect British manufacturers from the threat to their market from foreign imports. It wasn't until the British public realised that British cars were in fact useless that they started buying foreign cars by the thousand which spelled the end of the road for the majority of UK manufacturers, sad but true.
There was a small backlash from people of a certain generation against buying foreign cars particularly Japanese ones but when their Austin Maxi's and Morris Marinas finally rusted into oblivion they begrudgingly grasped the nettle and now wouldn't be seen driving anything other than a Micra or Yaris or indeed a Mitsubishi Colt.
Mitsubishi have had mixed fortunes over the years with some successful models and of course you can't really mention Mitsubishi without talking about their successes with the Ralliart division and the whole Evolution phenomenon. Aside from this though the history of Mitsubishi is quite complex and they have had business partnerships with companies you would not have expected, notably Volvo and Daimler Chrysler to name but two.
Mitsubishi Corporation is a huge concern in Japan of which Mitsubishi Motors are a subsidiary of and with a history that dates back as far as 1917. The logo of three red diamonds, which is shared with over forty other companies within the group, predates Mitsubishi Motors itself by nearly a century. It was chosen by Yataro Iwasaki who was the founder of Mitsubishi. Apparently it represented the emblem of the Tosa Clan who first employed him and because his own family crest was three diamonds stacked one on top of the other. The name Mitsubishi is an amalgamation of Mitsu ("three") and Hishi (literally meaning "water chestnut", which is often used in Japanese to denote a diamond or rhombus).
Mitsubishi are currently the seventh largest car manufacturer in Japan and seventeenth in the world which puts them as fairly large but not huge by any standards. Mitsubishi's main problem has been a lack of models to choose from but in the last few years they have worked hard to address this and now have a fairly large range covering most sectors of the market.
After working with Chrysler since the 1970's Mitsubishi were then involved with Daimler Chrysler until around 2005. They have also had alliances with Proton and Hyundai but now after some quite drastic financial reorganisation the company seems to be more settled and were able to reveal the award winning I model in 2006. The new Mitsubishi Lancer has been received favourably and Mitsubishi has joined up with PSA Peugeot Citroen to produce the 4007 and C-Crosser which are SUV vehicles based on the Mitsubishi Outlander. The Outlander itself boasts favourable fuel economy combined with the lowest C02 emissions in its class.
The Shogun or Pajero whose name is rumoured to be rude in Spanish is another vehicle which has ensured Mitsubishi's success over the years. The latest version is far more refined and is now pitched at the luxury SUV market.
A lesser known fact about Mitsubishi is that Jackie Chan has had a long association with the company so with him on their side I guess they will always be a contender!

The Five Best Hybrid Cars to Buy : New Mitsubishi new car 2009
The Five Best Hybrid Cars to Buy
by Erick Gibson
The hybrid auto was made due to the insistence for cars that consumed less energy making it greener on the environment and more cost effective on your pocketbook. So what is a hybrid? Hybrids are vehicles that combine two or more sources directly or indirectly provide propulsion is a hybrid. In other words, when a vehicle uses gasoline and electricity as forms of power, then it's a hybrid. When looking at the right hybrid auto for you, you need to research these five:
Nissan Altima Hybrid
Nissan Motors has been producing cars and motorcycles longer than most of their competition. One of the most fashionable choices among hybrid owners today is the Nissan Altima Hybrid since Nissan is synonymous with style and performance. When Nissan manufactures any auto, they usually add a variety of designs and choices that allows you to build a car that is built for you! The average Price for the Nissan Altima Hybrid is approximately $25,000 while the average mileage per gallon (mpg) for the Nissan Altima Hybrid is 42 mpg on the highway and 34 mpg in the city.
Honda Civic Hybrid
Another Honda built auto that makes our list is the excellent Honda Civic Hybrid. If you're looking for a robust hybrid that is cool to ride, then the Honda Civic Hybrid is a great choice. Honda has been producing cars for some time so they understand how to create a high quality hybrid car that has a low price tag. The average Price for the Honda Civic Hybrid is approximately $24,000 while the average mileage per gallon (mpg) for the Honda Civic Hybrid is 51 mpg on the highway and 49 mpg in the city.
Toyota Prius
Seeking for an inexpensive hybrid auto, enter the Toyota Prius, Japanese built auto. Toyota hybrids have increased in popularity with the youthful and older crowd probably due to the smooth style and low price tag. While the Toyota Prius is low cost what you gain in decreased price you do not lose in quickness and power making this hybrid auto, the most desired in the world and one that deserves the most honors. The average Price for the Toyota Prius is approximately $22,000 while the average mileage per gallon for the Toyota Prius is 60 mpg on the highway and 51 mpg in the city.
Toyota Camry Hybrid
Another Toyota built auto that makes our list is the excellent Toyota Camry Hybrid. If you want a consistent and robust hybrid, then the Toyota Camry Hybrid is a great choice. As an extremely fuel-efficient hybrid auto it also has exceptional quickness with excellent crash test scores. The average Price for the Toyota Camry Hybrid is approximately $26,000 while the average mileage per gallon (mpg) for the Toyota Camry Hybrid is 40 mpg on the highway and 38 mpg in the city.
Ford Escape Hybrid
The lone United States built hybrid auto is the Ford Escape Hybrid. Despite being a United States built auto you can count on a highly meticulous, robust auto that handles superbly. The speed increase is efficient yet quite strong. The Ford Escape Hybrid was the first hybrid SUV and remains a leading seller. The average Price for the Ford Escape Hybrid is approximately $26,000 while the average mileage per gallon (mpg) for the Ford Escape Hybrid is 36 mpg on the highway and 31 mpg.
Hybrid cars were produced to help the environment due to the reduction fuel emissions. By combining two power sources, hybrid cars use less gasoline. By using less gasoline they help the environment and help you save money. After researching hybrid cars you'll recognize that the Honda Civic Hybrid, Nissan Altima Hybrid, Toyota Prius, and Ford Escape Hybrid are the most popular.

HHO Cars : : New mitsubishi water hybrid cars 2008
HHO Cars
by Timothy Payn
An HHO car is something special and something to be proud of. However it could not be much easier for any old bod to convert their existing vehicle to an HHO car( http://mikey890.wordpress.com/2008/06/04/hho-car-manual-advicehho-car-manual-advice/). Not only that, but it costs less than $400 for an HHO car. That’s right, that is less than your monthly shopping bill. And anyone can make an HHO car without any technical expertise whatsoever.HHO cars fall into the category of technologies which use a proton exchange membrane as the electrolyte within the fuel cell. Hydrogen is stored in the car or truck, just like standard gas. The difference is that very small amounts of hydrogen are stored compared to gasoline. This makes the whole system safe. Oxygen is then sucked in from the air outside and used as fuel. The only results are water, heat and electricity.
The electricity powers or part-powers the vehicle. The heat and water are dispersed into the atmosphere. So, as far as byproducts are concerned there is no pollution. The environment is left unaffected and safe.
Hydrogen produced by a proton exchange membrane in an HHO car is clean and green. It is not like extracting hydrogen from methane. This process produces carbon dioxide which is harmful to the environment. It accounts for around 90% of hydrogen produced in Western economies.
To convert an existing car to an HHO car is easy and cheap. All you need is the right manual. It is not necessary to modify the existing internal combustion engine in any way. The HHO car conversion can be removed within minutes, if wanted, without in any way affecting the engine. A water fuel system will increase the engine’s efficiency by about 35%, actually increase performance and prolong the life of the engine. HHO car owners report the lifespan of their vehicles to outstrip diesels by more than 60%.
With a HHO car kit, H2 (hydrogen) is pulled into the fuel cell via flow field plates. They control the flow of electrons permitting the hydrogen molecules access before they are dispersed in an even manner by a carbon mesh. A platinum (or similar) catalyst then splits the hydrogen molecules into positive ions and negative electrons.
In a HHO car the PEM is at the heart of everything. This proton exchange mechanism rejects electrons but readily lets through electron ions. The electrons then make a vortex around the PEM and produce electricity. This electricity is passed to the motor. With most systems this reduces the gas fuel requirement. In more advanced technology, no gas at all is needed. However, as I write, these systems requiring no need for gas are very bulky and not particularly practical.
Oxygen is also pulled into the fuel cell. The oxygen (O2) is then split in two. These atoms then combine with the hydrogen electrons and ions. That forms water (H20) which is then expelled from the vehicle, ultimately via the exhaust system.
Anyone can have an HHO car, right now. I decent manual will cost around $90. The parts will set you back another $300 or so. Even someone with very rudimentary mechanical knowledge and almost no automotive tools, like me, can convert their vehicle to an HHO car in under two hours.

Run Your Car on Water, or Something Near To It: New Mitsubishi hybrid car 2009
Run Your Car on Water, or Something Near To It
by Andreis Miller
Before you let your imagination run wild, here is the truth: water by itself won't start your car. Before your car even powers to life, combustion between water and gasoline needs to occur. The mechanics behind this technology is known as electrolysis. By passing electric current, electrolysis separates the elements in a compound. In the case of water and gasoline, the water is burned to make hydrogen. When oxygen and hydrogen are separated by electricity, it then powers the car as it evaporates. With a 25-50% increase in fuel efficiency, powering your car on gasoline and water can truly spare you the costs of gasoline alone. With the kits available, converting your car is simple. But the price of these kits vary, based on your car's make, and can go between $50 to $300. You can get the kit installed by a professional, or do it yourself by following simple instructions. Although some models may demand mechanical alterations, there's usually no need to tune up your car to install or remove the kit. They are just add-ons that can be used at once. Safe For You, Safe For The Environment The increasing costs of gas might make things seem bleak, but hybrid cars that run on both gasoline and water is the solution. You don't even need a new car. You can have a hybrid car out of an old one with an easy conversion kit. Powering your car on water provides two excellent results - you contribute to the environment and you save tons of money on gas. Combining the power of hydrogen with gasoline doubles the mileage. On a gallon of gas and water, a Subaru can already go 32 miles. The build-up of carbon is greatly lessened, and you have cleaner emissions. This makes it simpler for the car to maintain. Moreover, hydrogen is just produced when required, so it is definitely safer. The News Have to Be Spread There are still skeptics, even if there are already numerous happy conversion kit users. Really, hesitating any longer is without cause. At this point when environmental and economic problems are critical for everyone's survival, utilizing both hydrogen and gasoline to run cars is a direct response to the issue. Minimal gasoline means extra money in the country's coffers and fresher air to boot. The coming of age of water-run cars has come on time. Becoming more and more a force to reckon with is water. This technology can definitely improve the world and save it for the better. It's time to do your share.

Top 10 Most Expensive Cars To Insure : New mitsubishi new car 2008
Top 10 Most Expensive Cars To Insure
by James. Lee
Car insurance: love it or loath it, if you own a car it's as sure as death and taxes. We all get that feeling that we're paying too much for our car insurance, but how much do some people really pay? We're going to cheer ourselves up by looking at the most expensive to insure cars in the world.
1.Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution There have been ten versions to date, all of them share a two litre, turbocharged engine and four-wheel drive system in common. Evolution models prior to version V were the officially-approved models for Mitsubishi's efforts in the World Rally Championship. Because of its racing roots this car is considered high risk and is very expensive to insure.
2.Mercedes CL-Class The Mercedes-Benz CL-Class is a grand tourer produced by the German automaker Mercedes-Benz. The most powerful model of the CL is also the most expensive Mercedes-branded vehicle on the market, costing up to $197,775. The car's cost alone is reason enough for the high price of insurance, but because it's so expensive it's is also one of the world's cars most targeted by criminals.
3.Dodge SRT-4 The reason Dodge's car has made it into this list is hinted at in what SRT stands for, "Street and Racing Technology". This car is bought by people because it handles like a race car to be driven like a race car, but places where it shouldn't be, like on busy roads in towns and cities. Owning one is almost a declaration that your going to be driving quickly and recklessly, and as the car doesn't come cheap the insurance premiums have to be able to cover the risk.
4.Subaru Impreza WRX The Subaru Impreza WRX, is a turbocharged version of the Subaru Impreza. Compared to the base Impreza, the WRX has wider low-profile tires, larger brakes, and firmer, higher quality suspension components. Because of this, the car is popular among car enthusiasts for its handling capabilities.
5.Jaguar XK The Jaguar XK is another long distance purpose built car by legendary British manufacturer Jaguar. Like all Jaguar cars it's expensive and fast, two qualities in any car that'll guarantee to scare insurers.
6.Lexus IS 300 The Lexus IS 300 is considered and entry level luxury car. The interior features leather seats, lightsaber-like electroluminescent dash display lighting, and the choice of metallic or Bird's Eye Maple wood trim. Lexus SmartAccess keyless entry with push-button start is a standard feature. The Lexus car can be considered the ultimate in expensive boys toys.
7.Honda S2000 This is another expensive, rare and fast car. Launched in April 1999, the S2000 was created to celebrate the Honda's 50th anniversary. The new Honda S2000 CR became available in the fall of 2007. The S2000's price starts at $36,300.
8.Acura RSX The Acura RSX is sold by Honda in North America and Hong Kong. There are several models and make of the car which can confuse matters. The Acura RSX is meant as an entry-level luxury sports car and as such is an expensive car to insure.
9.Nissan 350Z The Nissan 350Z is another luxury sports car intended to be the less expensive, but still expensive, option for car enthusiasts. The 350Z is available as 2 door coupé and roadster.
10.Jaguar XJ The Jaguar XJ is a luxury saloon and flagship model sold under the British Jaguar luxury marquee. The car is known as the choice of wealthy people around the world and, although the style is dated, it is still considered a top of the range car with a powerful engine.

Fuel Economy For Pennies : New mitsubishi 2008
Fuel Economy For Pennies
by Holly Johansen
Over three dollars is what you're shelling out at the pumps... you've felt the pain. Chances are fuel will go down in price tomorrow and then rise again to a new expensive standard. Fuel prices are obscene and most people just accept this and how the government does things. The truth is the government and the oil companies are out of control. Exxon is a tyrant and as the daughter of a commercial Alaskan salmon fisherman I can tell you first hand how true this is...more oil is not the answer but saying "stick it" to the oil companies is. The reality is that you don't have to take it. Fuel economy for pennies is an absolute reality. The progressive thinkers are way ahead on this. No, I don't mean stopping by your local china cafe for corn oil (though for some this works quite well). But let's look at something a little more streamlined. There is a technology you can apply in as little as ten minutes that will change your life forever.Fuel economy is part of your immediate future so listen up. Have you heard about running engines on water? Well now you have...ANYONE can do this and by that I even mean your grandmother. This hydrogen fuel idea has been around for about 100 years and the idea was borrowed from Nikola Tesla. The modern version was gleaned from a forgotten patent and prototype and is now readily available, safe and efficient. The oil companies are the dragon you're going to slay but first you have to educate yourself. Here's the facts: The hydrogen fuel process uses a small amount of electricity from your car's battery. The gas that is made from this process is known as hydroxy or HHO. You will frequently hear this gas referred to as "Brown's gas". It is three times more potent than regular gasoline and will boost your car's performance. Plus this patient old planet earth will thank you. This is a smog free technology that will have you passing MARTA with flying colors. The converter kit you will be installing couldn't be easier. The converter can be used in any vehicle carburator engine or fuel injected. It can be installed on a semi truck to increase it's power and speed. You can use it on your motor home and be able to travel twice as far. The economy will go through roller coaster prices but your fuel costs will remain stable. HHO is supplied to the intake manifold or to the carburator. The connection is childs play. The device connects to the 12 volts on your battery via your ignition switch. This prevents hydrogen production when your engine is turned off. The device only draws 1-3 amps of current and is protected by a fuse.Your fuel economy will skyrocket and your acceleration will be faster. You can create a hybrid car using tap water now and the savings will be incredible. If I didn't mention it...the IRS will give you a refund simply for installing this converter so you have absolutly nothing to lose. This is a progressive green technology that's very hot right now. How safe is it? VERY, no worries... there are literally thousands of these cars on the open road right now. Every day truckers are catching on to the idea more and more.It won't be long before the music biz catches on and tour busses take a go round. If you're interested in slashing gas prices anywhere from 50% to 285% then this is your best bet.Success is no accident. Successful people take action and they think outside of the box. Consider yourself the next fuel economy success story and end the outrageous prices at the pump. Remember...educate yourself, take action and get back "on the road again." Here's wishing you great success in all your endeavors....

The Most Expensive SUVs To Fix After A Rear End Collision : New Mitsubishi SUV new car 2008
The Most Expensive SUVs To Fix After A Rear End Collision
by Jeff Mohr
You know when I was first learning to drive, my dad would jokingly say, "back-up until it sounds expensive". Well, back in those days -the 50's and 60's - you actually could do that. You could smack into something and there would hardly be a dent or scratch in the old Chevy wagon. But don't try that today.
According to the Insurance Institute For Highway Safety (IIHS), the most expensive mid size SUV that they ever had to fix after the 5 mph "rear into pole" crash test was the 2000 Isuzu Trooper. That's 5 mph folks - just above walking speed, and the vehicle sustained $3,317 damage! Part of the reason for all this damage is that the spare tire hangs on the end gate. When the vehicle encounters something like a pole or another vehicle the spare tire crushes the end gate, blows out the rear window and in some instances, pulls the side fender wells in.
Between 1999 and 2003, out of the 10 most expensive SUVs to fix from that same crash test (that we could find records on) as tested by the IIHS, 7 of them had the spare tire hanging on the end gate. Those vehicles (and the damage they sustained) included the Isuzu Trooper ($3,317), Mitsubishi Montero ($2,961), Toyota RAV4 ($2,719), Honda CR-V ($2,727), Land Rover Freelander ($2,096), Suzuki Grand Vitara XL-7 ($2,175) and the Jeep Liberty ($1,627). Brian O'Neill of the IIHS probably said it best: "SUVs may be advertised as rugged and manufacturers tell potential buyers they can drive these vehicles anywhere adventure leads them. But consumers can expect big repair bills if they're unlucky enough to bump these so-called rugged vehicles into something at slow speeds."
It's been 27 Years since the consumer has had 5 mph bumpers (1982)-now we only have 2.5 mph bumpers - and, only on passenger cars. There are NO federal bumper standards for pickup trucks, SUVs or mini vans which is one of the reasons they do so poorly. Even on the standards for passenger cars, the rules allow for unlimited damage to the bumper. According to Jeff Mohr, CEO of Mohr Mfg and the experts at superbumper.com, "the average cost to fix a full size pickup truck bumper from the 5 mph rear into pole collision is $1,618, and that's in 2004 prices. And some pickup trucks and SUVs don't even get tested because the IIHS only tests the most popular vehicles.
Now the IIHS has eliminated the rear into pole test because most automakers complained that it was not a "fair" test. But there's one heck of lot of parking lot poles out there just waiting to walk into your vehicle. The IIHS also found that some of the automakers were cheating by adding extra energy absorbing material right where the vehicle would hit the pole.
Today, the lightest tap from a vehicle can leave damage from $450 to over $2,000 damage. The average cost to repair a plastic bumper is $450 and the average cost to replace a plastic bumper is $900. And if you have a vehicle with a backup alarm you're looking at twice that amount. A backup alarm might help you from hitting something but it don't help in the rear end collision.
There are over 12 million rear-end collisions in the USA every year -both reported and unreported and over 8 million plastic bumpers are replaced each year. The rear end collision accounts for 38% of all the dollars paid for automobile claims and you can't afford to make a claim any more. The typical insurance premium will increase 40% if a claim is made.
There are thousands of tailgaters, uninsured motorists, distracted drivers, inattentive cell phone users, drivers with poor judgment, text messengers and lousy-stinking parallel parkers out there just trying to wreck your vehicle, cripple your family, steal your deductible and jeopardize your insurance. "There are products on the market today that can help you fight back says Jeff Mohr. Do your homework and start protecting your family, vehicle and insurance - you can't afford not to."
