Hummer versus Prius : the knock-out.
Hummer versus Prius : the knock-out!
A month ago, Dr Gleick from the Pacific Institute, in his correction of the CNW Marketing report “Dust to Dust” denounced and castigated the authors of the document for fraud to the consumption.
The “Dust to Dust report” was supposed to be an unbiased analysis of the life-cycle energy cost of new vehicles from concept to disposal. In the arena were the Hummer (and its by-products) and the hybrid Toyota Prius.
In his study of the document, it appeared to the eye of the methodical, sagacious and rational scientist a fraudulent use and manipulation of the data. The report stipulated that the massive Hummer used less energy per mile driven than Prius, that its lifetime mileage was inferior to the hybrid. It also suggested wrongly that the majority of the energy is consumed during the production of the vehicle. All the independent research groups converge in saying that 80 to 90% of the energy is consumed while using the vehicle.
To support his theory about manipulated analysis, he took the example of two Toyota models, the Xcion xA and xB, same cars, same capacities, same qualities and supposedly their lifetime mileage and energy are different?
He also pinpointed their confusion in their terminology, power-energy, certainty-uncertainty, precision-accuracy…
After verifications and preoccupied with objectivity and transparency, the final conclusion was “ the report suffers from fatal flaws”
So, questions, what if the readers’ intelligence did not challenge the veracity of the report? To who does benefit the conscious manipulation of the data if not to the car-maker? What if his goal is to mislead the consumer’s behavior and to discredit and silent the main competitors? Here is a flagrant photography of what big corporations are willing to scarify to be at the top of the competition! The dice are rigged while playing! Who will be the victims? The “whom it may concern”? The target? You? Me? Our credulity? Boycott Hummer!

Tesla Roadster: Red and Green !
One look at this baby and I am sold! Red never looked hotter and greener!
The Tesla Roadster is an all sleek, all American, 100% electric car that does 0 to 60 mph in less than 6 sec! Needless to say, it has won every award since its debut including the cleanest startup award for 2007 from TechCrunch !
The Torque curves of Roadster are, of course, stellar. They are promising peak torque even at 0 RPM! So, no auto changes and high energy efficiency even for the highest acceleration possible !! Apparently, it is alarmingly quiet for the kind of acceleration and power it provides ! That is amazing!!
You know what else is cool ? Its carbon foot print ! It is all electric so you only need to look got your state board’s carbon chart to worry about 
The looks are a killer and the price is north of 100G but, given its startup mode, it has been sold out every year so far!! That truly speaks for how cool this car is !
A 5000 USD refundable deposit starts the process and locks in price. An additional 50 grand would lock in your delivery date as well.

Ferrari 430 Scuderia
The new Ferrari 430 Scuderia will join the road-going V8 line-up alongside the F430 coup and the F430 Spider. The 430 Scuderia is a truly high-performance 2-seater berlinetta which demonstrates how Ferrari's Formula 1 know-how is carried across to its production cars.
The new model is a special series based on the F430 and is aimed specifically at Ferrari's most passionate and sports-driving oriented clients. Development focused on light weight, minimum trimmings and innovative technology. All this to exalt the car's extremely high-performance and ability to thrill the driver.
The new car can count on an extremely low weight-to-power ratio of just 2.45 kg per hp thanks to a low dry weight of just 1250 kg - 100 kg less than the F430 - and to the naturally-aspirated 4308cc V8's 510 hp at 8500 rpm.
Superb performance both on and off the track is assured by a series of cutting-edge solutions. There is the latest software - F1 Superfast - which reduces gearchange times to just 60 milliseconds, and new traction control which, for the first time, combines the E-Diff electronic differential and the F1-Trac traction and stability control in a single integrated system.
Vehicle dynamics, control and performance thus represent the zenith of Ferrari's achievements in terms of developing road-certified sports cars.
