Volvo is pushing the boundaries with their new model…

Swedish automakers Volvo have released information of a new Volvo car that will rival the likes of Volkswagen small car the Golf.

Focusing on 'functionality and elegance' Volvo are set to go back to their roots with their styling and stay extremely traditional and steer away from the current 'sporty' trend that Volvo is producing like the new Volvo C30.

Based on the all-wheel 'wagon' like thesis, the new Volvo car will not only be functional and powerful but especially stylish and carry an air of sophistication that a BMW would be proud of. Watch this space.

Los Angeles sets the scene for the VW Eos…

OMG, LOL, ROFL… the annoying words uttered by those that have clique like status. Your only cool if you know what they mean and if you don’t, then TTYL, you’ve ‘obvs’ just not got it.

When I first read about the Eos, I racked my brain trying to determine its meaning, and then I took a step back and thought, ‘hey you know what! Maybe there is life other than the world of Paris Hilton’ and realised the Eos was actually a Volkswagen car. D’oh.

The new Volkswagen Eos car will be displayed at the Los Angeles Motor Show this year and it has rather a following already thanks to its great design and superb styling throughout. Fully equipped with horizontal headlights, blacked-out fog lights, grille and an overall sporty feel, the new Volkswagen Eos is up there with the likes of the VW Golf and VW Jetta.Kent Volkswagen dealership Euro Canterbury sell this currently and I adore it every time I drive pass.

I digress. The new Volkswagen car has an innovative keyless entry system that enables you to access the car and start it without the use of a key (handy) and first introduced successfully in the earlier Volkswagen Jetta.

An altogether great driving experience is promised much alike to that of the Volkswagen beetle. Kent Volkswagen dealership also stocks this uber- trendy beetle which I have test driven before and loved it. Can’t wait to test drive the Volkswagen Eos.

Volkswagen up the Indie…

Volkswagen car manufacturers have long been a supporter of independent film (6 years to be exact) and have decided to go one step further within the indie sector.

Launching the new website SeeFilmDifferently.com, Volkswagen has put themselves at the forefront of showing new adverts, interviews, snippets and latest releases in the independent cinema field.

Using the ‘location’ campaign that is currently riding a wave of success for big name brands such as Facebook and Foursquare, Volkswagen are said to be focusing their attention on “movie locations, kicking off with a series of exclusive screenings” allowing you to “enjoy some classic movies in the places where they were filmed.”

The locations-based map they are going to use will also mean that “you can discover where many iconic movie scenes were shot” and you may even find that you’ve already “unknowingly, been ‘on set!”

I wonder if my Volkswagen dealership Kent is actually a ‘Sex & the City’ set- Hmmmm.

Renault Latitude is the ultimate in luxury…

Launched originally early this year in Moscow, the new Renault Latitude for 2011 has just been debuted also at the Paris Motor Show and is said to be the flagship model for the Renault new car range as well as a top leader in the executive car line.

Available in a range of two engines; a 2.0 litre and a 2.5 litre V6 engine as well as another few to be added to the line-up in further countries.

Not only made-over on the exterior thanks to some heavy styling features, the inside cabin of the new Renault latitude is extremely comfortable and even comes complete with a massage function that would beat any rival masseuse as well as climatic control for the ultimate in luxurious driving.

I have never personally owned a Renault car, but my friend purchased a used Renault Clio, Sussex and has been more than happy with the car and received little to no problems. The used car dealer Sussex that she bought the car from also guaranteed Renault aftersales care so she has been as pleased as punch with the little brum.

Ford blush for the month of October….

Last month, I ran 5k for Break through Breast cancer at my local park and successfully rose over £380 for the charity. October is the official Breast cancer Awareness month and everyone will be donning pink to get involved. From Fun runs, to cake sales there is something for everyone in October.

Ford car manufacturers are also getting involved with the month of fundraising and have transformed their headquarters to blush (quite literally) a shade of pink for two nights in the spooky month to salute the survivors of the disease and also honour those that we have lost.

Currently, Ford has donated well over £105,000,000 to the charity and is set on continuing each year with the donations. They have even created a Ford Facebook page for the campaign called ‘Ford Warriors in Pink’ and for every ‘Like’ on the page, Ford will donate $1 to the worthy cause. So go on…. Like away.

I wonder if I drove past my local Ford used car dealer Sussex what I will find as I am aware that they are keen charity donators…
