			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">General Motors Co. on Wednesday forsook a months-long attempt to gain European government assistance for reconstituting its Opel and Vauxhall operations, alleging that it required to move ahead and would fund the redevelopment itself.</p>
<p>A week after Germany declined its petition, GM said it was backing away applications for loan guarantees totalling euro1.8 billion ($2.2 billion) from a number of European countries. The car manufacturer said its own bettered finances were an element in the decision.</p>
<p>GM has obtained approximately $50 billion in financial aid from the U.S. Treasury and $9.5 billion from the Canadian federal and Ontario provincial governments. It has paid back $6.7 billion to the U.S. and $1.4 billion to the Canadian governments and the remainder converted to equity in the car manufacturer.</p>
<p>Rainer Bruederle the German Economy Minister, cited GM&#8217;s ameliorated finances in refusing its aid application, greeted its determination to give up seeking aid. He stated that, &#8220;I feel vindicated in my assessment that General Motors has the funds for an Opel restructuring,&#8221; Bruederle said. He hailed that GM &#8220;seems ready to take its full responsibility as an owner toward its 100 percent subsidiary Opel.&#8221;<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now drivers who have attained their majority can access the offering extended by Vauxhall of free insurance as well as the £2000 scrappage discount on its Corsa SXi.</p>
<p>This offer is kind of a replay of the early &#8217;90s. It was during this period when producers were intentionally directing the young drivers who were able to afford for the wheels but did not have enough money to meet high-priced insurance costs.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2010" title="Vauxhall Corsa SXi" src="http://www.wheeltronix.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Vauxhall-Corsa-SXi.jpg" alt="Vauxhall Corsa SXi" width="500" height="326" /></p>
<p>Vauxhall is extending a year&#8217;s free insurance on the Corsa Sxi. It is also providing with 3 years&#8217; 0% finance and free joblessness cover.</p>
<p>With the £2,000 scrappage grant for an suitable conversion young buyers can pick up the SXi for £9845.</p>
<p>The Corsa SXi is specially made for the young market. Boy racers will be offered 16&#8243; alloy wheels, a CD player with MP3 format/auxiliary-in socket/stereo radio and sports-style front seats.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The prices of the Vauxhall&#8217;s 325bhp Insignia VXR starts from £30,995. This was declared by the Luton-based firm today.</p>
<p>The Insignia VXR has 325bhp turbocharged 2.8 V6 petrol modifying the all-wheel-drive Vauxhall to strike 62mph in just 5.6 seconds and peak at 155mph.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1885" title="Vauxhall Insignia VXR " src="http://www.wheeltronix.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/14.jpg" alt="Vauxhall Insignia VXR " width="500" height="316" /><br />
Obtainable in hatch, saloon and estate forms, the VXR rides 10mm lower than an Insignia SRI. It shows off an electronic rear disparity for boosted grip and a &#8216;Hiperstrut&#8217; facade suspension agreement which is like Ford&#8217;s Revco-Knuckle face suspension, considerably reducing wheel pulling, or torque-steer in hard speeding up.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1886" title="Vauxhall Insignia VXR " src="http://www.wheeltronix.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/23.jpg" alt="Vauxhall Insignia VXR " width="500" height="315" /></p>

<p>Vauxhall states that the VXR hatch will average out 24.7mpg while discharging 268g/km of CO2.</p>
<p>The VXR is outfitted with large 19&#8243; wheels, adaptive mufflers, body embracing Recaro seats and, if the Tourer model is opted for then an electronic tailgate is added.  The Insignia VXR will go on sale from this September</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Ampera has been established for production, and goes to the UK in right-hand drive form as a Vauxhall in 2012.</p>
<p>It can run for up to 40 miles on its 16kW battery power alone. The full possible ambit between recharging or refuelling stops is 300 miles. It can be charged by plugging in to any household 240V outlet.<br />
The auxiliary engine can be fuelled either with petrol or E85 for short-distance drives.  GM has not yet supported particulars of the engine&#8217;s fuel consumption or emissions.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-1443 aligncenter" title="Vauxhall Ampera " src="http://www.wheeltronix.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/opel-ampera-f.jpg" alt="Vauxhall Ampera " width="440" height="305" /></p>

<p style="text-align: left;">The Ampera is a 5 door 4 seater with a decent-sized 301-litre boot. The 150bhp motor supplies up to 273lb ft of torque, a peak accessible instantly from a standstill and 0-60mph acceleration comes up in around nine seconds. The vehicles’ top speed is 100mph.<br />
The interior is mostly black, with red detailing and dark metallic trim</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Suzuki is gonna take the fight against big brands like Volkswagen, Ford and Opel.<br />
On the auto show in New York they have released the third version of the Suzuki Kizashi. A concept car that needs to be compared in the same class as the Volkswagen Passat, Ford Mondeo and the Opel Vectra.</p>
<p>It will be a tough time, but with this ride, they will have a change we think at least <img src='http://www.wheeltronix.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
On the 20th of March there will be a final release of this model, so keep an eye on it! Because we are gonna write an update as well.</p>
