Ferrari 458 Italia at the Frankfurt Auto Show

Ferrari 458 Italia at the Frankfurt Auto Show.

Short of a test drive or actually owning one, this is the next best thing... the official Ferrari 458 Italia Movie! As we've seen this past week the new Fezza has made it's public debut at this year's Frankfurt Auto Show.

It's the official movie for the F430 replacement as is surprisingly good! It's not full of cheesy-ness and features a red and yellow 458 on a race track in a toe-to-toe battle. Filmed on the Mugello circuit in the Tuscan hills the two cars "play" together for a lap of the track.

Seeing the car in action and hearing the wonderful 4.5 liter V8 using every last one of its 562 horsepower is a treat, and I have personally watched this film, well... several times.

Enjoy the movie, it helps if your volume knob goes up to 11, and the slideshow!

Chevrolet Cruze | Civic and Altis

Perhaps for this class small sedan segment dominated by Japanese manufacturers such as Honda Civic, Toyota Altis, and Mitsubishi lancer. But with the presence of the Chevrolet Cruze early next year, then certainly in this class will increasingly crowded competition.

"Cruze will head to head with 1.8-liter Altis and Honda Civic 1.8-liter,". Although carrying capacity of smaller machines, ie 1600 cc, but Amelia was sure would be the ability Cruze. "We deliberately choose to remember the 1.6 Liter So much power it is good enough for use in the country," he said.

In terms of engine power, probably less than two Cruze Japanese rivals. Cruze a 1600 cc engine could only produce approximately 113 hp, 143 hp while the Altis. But the level above the Civic Cruze has a maximum power of 103 ps.

However, if the condition of streets in major cities in Indonesia, especially Jakarta, which is always crowded, it's a big effort here is less needed. Fuel consumption is now a consideration a person buying a car.

With a 1.6 Liter engine would make more fuel-efficient Cruze than its competitors from Negeri Sakura. "Why did we choose the 1.6 Liter? For considering fuel efficiency, too," said Amelia.

Safety systems for business, features a series of passive and active safety has also been pinned on this American sedans. Among others Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), ESP and airbags in the front and side. Certainly no less a duo of Japanese sedans.

The problem is now a matter of price. GMAI not sure what price would be released for the Cruze. They simply call the equivalent of the Civic and Altis range Rp350 million.
