Esemka Ingin Seperti Kijang
Banyak orang menganggap, mobil buatan anak bangsa kurang mumpuni, baik secara kualitas maupun penampilan. Tapi, coba lihat mobil buatan anak-anak SMK yang satu ini. Dari segi tampilan, dan kualitasnya tidak meragukan.Tidak seperti produsen mobil China yang kebanyakan mentah-mentah mencaplok desain produk lain untuk membuat mobil nasional mereka. Tapi Esemka benar-benar mendesain Digdaya sendiri, dengan kreasi sendiri.
Begitu juga untuk dapur pacunya. Esemka mengerjakannya sendiri, mengambil basis dari mesin KIA yang sebelumnya sempat dikembangkan Mazda yang mengambil basis dari GM dan Chrysler, sehingga jadilah mesin tipe Esemka 1.5i.
"Semua kita kerjakan sendiri," ujar konsultan Departemen Pendidikan Nasional Ari Setiawan, ketika dikunjungi detikOto, di pameran Indonesian Manufacturing, di JI Expo, Kemayoran, Jakarta, Rabu, (2/12/2009)
Ari pun mengakui memang masih banyak kemiripan dengan produk lain, tapi itu wajar, karena setiap permulaan pasti meniru, mencontoh, tapi pada akhirnya bisa berkembang sendiri.
Sehingga, sampai saat ini, mereka sedang mengembangkan ECU (Electronic Control Unit) agar bisa dilokalisasi juga, karena untuk mobil Esemka, hanya tinggal ECU yang masih mengambil dari Siemens.
Harapannya, tambah Ari, semua pihak bisa memberikan apresiasi, karena biar bagaimanapun, produk anak-anak SMK ini akan terus berkembang, terus menyempurnakan diri, karena tidak ada yang instan.
"Seperti juga Toyota Kijang, dari mulai Kijang buaya yang tanpa jendela kaca, sampai sekarang ada Kijang Innova, nah, kita juga bakal seperti itu perkembangan kedepannya, tunggu saja," pungkas Ari.
VW Amarok Pictures and Video
Showcasing the cool VW Amarok pickup truck! The Amarok is scheduled to make it’s world debut on the 15th of December 2009 as looking at these pictures and video, it going to be a beauty.
Initially there will be a 2 liter 4 cylinder common rail diesel producing about 120kw and 400nm which will be the strongest unit available. Fuel consumption will be awesome as the predicted range on a 80 Liter tank will be almost 1000km! A second, less powerful diesel and a direct inject petrol engine will also be offered later.
Double cab versions as well as single cab versions will be offered, but no extended cab versions are on the cards. At least not for the launch. Three levels of specification will be offered – basic, trendline and highline but no word on pricing yet.

2010 Bufori CS Sports Car Coupe
The BUFORI CS, which stands for “Compact Sports”, is powered by a 2.0L turbo-charged engine, the sportscar will feature a lightweight composite body and offer the typical BUFORI craftsmanship, attention to detail and quality. The BUFORI CS is expected to be launched in Malaysia at the beginning of 2010 and more details will be revealed towards the end of the year.The Bufori CS is a two-door, two-seat sports Coupe from the Malaysian manufacturer Bufori. It represents the first model in a new lineup of vehicles from the company.
Unlike previous BUFORI models, the design of the BUFORI CS is intentionally modern, boasting elegant flowing lines and subtly pronounced fenders. Four circular LED rear lights give an additional sporty dimension to the overall, timeless elegant body.
Bufori have been around since 1986. Originally based in Australia the company has been successfully producing cars like the La Joya for many years and exporting them to markets all around the world including Australia, Europe, USA, and the Middle East.
The CS, which stands for 'Compact Sports', marks a new styling direction for Bufori. All their previous vehicles have had a distinctly classic appearance, but the CS is modern in its design.
The monocoque body is made of ultra-light and rigid reinforced Carbon Fiber & Kevlar and lies on a space frame chassis. The unequal upper and lower arm front and rear suspension with coil over shocks are fully adjustable and provide excellent road holding.
2010 Bufori CS Sports Car CoupeAnother factor working in the CS's favor is the fact the company is developing a racing version in order to test and develop the vehicle under the extreme conditions only achievable through competitive racing.
The overall shape of the Bufori CS is not a million miles away from the lines of the first generation BMW Z4 Coupe, especially when viewed from the side. Up front Bufori have integrated their curious moustache-like grille into the bodywork, a feature which probably would have been better left out. But at the rear, the quadruple round taillights and sloping tail section, coupled with the powerful rear arches give the CS some stylistic appeal. The Bufori CS features unequal upper and lower a-arm front and rear suspension with fully adjustable coil over shocks.

German edition Auto Motor and Sport has published official photos of the serial pickup first in the history of company Volkswagen which will be accessible not only to Americans, but also inhabitants of Europe.
It is interesting that is primary Volkswagen Amarok, the pickup will be called so, first must bet shown only in January, 2010 during start of rally Dakar - Amarok will represent itself as there an escort car of command Volkswagen. Germans have absolutely fairly judged that difficult rally to which the great attention from outside motorists will be chained, becomes an excellent advertising platform for new model.
Apparently, at first Amarok will be sold in more comfortable version with a double cabin (the length of the car will make 5250 mm), however, in 2010-2011 there should be more accessible cars with an unary and "one-and-a-half" cabin (in the latter case will be two doors, but in interior it will appear nevertheless two rows of seats). Load-carrying capacity of the car with a double cabin makes 1,15 ton.
Base equipment Amarok will be rather modest that, however, it is peculiar to German cars. Here there will be only ABS (the truth, with driving function on impassability), safety pillows, adjustable front armchairs, a bulb in a baggage compartment. But here in "heaped more up" versions Trendline and Highline already there will be CD-player, the multipurpose display, the air conditioner, fog lights and so on.
Under a car cowl there will be one of two diesel engines. Or the 2,0-litre unit which gives out 163 h.p. at 1500 "turns" and 400 Nm. Or more modest motor capacity of 122 h.p. and 340 Nm. The drive gear at desire of the buyer can be full.
