  • Opel GT: Opel Goes Roadster
    January 2007 Opel GT: Opel Goes Roadster • Classic proportions: sleek silhouette, long hood, short overhangs • Archetypal roadster architecture with front-mounted engine and rear-wheel drive • High-tech turbo direct injection and twin A-arms • Roadster fun and performance at affordable price: 264 hp for 30,675 euros Rüsselsheim. The modern definition of an athletic two-seater finds its form in the new Opel GT. As a classic roadster, it has a powerful front-mounted engine, rear-wheel drive, a cockpit with sporty instruments and a tailor-made fabric roof. With a wide stance, sleek silhouette, long, front-hinged hood and short overhangs, the proportions are typical of this class. The Opel GT also brings new charm to this genre with its own unmistakable personality thanks to its exciting shape, which contrasts sharp edges with curved surfaces to create a dynamic look, and its configuration, which enables a refined driving experience, even on long journeys. The GT’ s pricing is also attractive. For 30,675 euros (recommended retail price in Germany incl. VAT), customers get no less than 264 hp from the high-tech turbo engine with gasoline direct injection. Acceleration from zero to 100 km/h takes less than six seconds. The new two-seater carries its legendary name because it continues the tradition of the first Opel GT (1968 – 1973) and, like the original, competes in one of the most exciting vehicle classes. The new Opel GT also showcases the brand’ s passion for dynamic cars, and the conviction that “ Opel was never as young as today” . This is underlined by niche models with a high fun factor, such as the Astra GTC with panorama windshield, the Tigra TwinTop Information concerning specifications and equipment applies to the models offered in iermany.

  • 2007 Saturn Aura
    2007 SATURN AURA The Aura is a midsize car that replaces Saturn’s L series. The newcomer shares its platform with the Malibu, the Pontiac G6 and the Saab 9-3. For the time being, it is only available as a sedan; a station wagon should arrive in a year or two. The XE version gets a 3.5L V6, whereas in XR trim power to the front wheels comes courtesy of a 3.6L V6. A hybrid version will be added sometime in 2007, and a four cylinder should be available the following year. The Aura is similar in size to the Accord, Altima and Camry, give or take a few centimetres. Interior and trunk Because of the car’s relatively low stance, tall people may not find it all that easy to enter and exit the Aura. The doors open wide and are not easy to close once you’re seated. The front seats are very comfortable, but the controls to adjust them are hard to reach when the doors are closed. Headroom is a bit tight for tall individuals. Added to the difficulty accessing the front is the sharp rearward angle of the roof that makes it that much harder to get in and out of the back. The rear bench seats two adults comfortably. Headroom for tall people is rather limited. The seatback is split 60/40 but folds to reveal an opening lacking in both height and width. The trunk is roomy but has a small opening that won’t accept bulky items. There is no hand grip to help open the trunk lid.

    Automotive CO2 Emissions Characterization by U.S. Light-Duty Vehicle Platform Revised Manuscript for TRB, 15 November 2004 Feng An,1 John DeCicco,2* and Huiming Gong1 1Energy and Transportation Technologies, LLC 42977 Ashbury Drive Novi, MI 48375 248-347-9004 [email protected] [email protected] 2Environmental Defense 6327 Todds Lane Dexter, MI 48130 734-424-3742 [email protected] *corresponding author C:\Documents\Active\CarBur\Platforms\An, DeCicco, Gong -- TRB 05-1960 (15 Nov 2004).doc An, DeCicco, and Gong -- TRB 05-1960 2 ABSTRACT Raising the fuel economy of automobiles to lower carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions affects many aspects of vehicle design. Automakers organize their production using platforms, representing shared engineering across different models. A platform level of aggregation is therefore useful when examining the opportunities for and impacts of redesign. This paper explores the CO2 emissions-related characteristics of major platforms in the U.S. market, using data for model year 2002. The top 30 platforms were found to hold 69% of sales and emit 72% of the annualized CO2 contribution of the model year 2002 new light vehicle fleet. Variations of up to 35% in vehicle weight were observed for models within a given platform. The within-platform variation of CO2 emissions rate ranged up to 45% for all platforms among the top 30, except a platform including diesel engines, which had a 67% variation. Across major platforms, average CO2 emissions rates varied by a factor of 2.3 from lowest to highest. Powertrain efficiency, as indicated by ton-miles per gallon, varied by 40% across platforms, with both the lowest and highest values being seen in truck platforms.
