VW Lease – Still the People’s Car
August 18, 2010 by admin
Filed under Going Green
The name ‘Volkswagen’ translates literally to ‘People’s Car’, a name given to the car manufacturer in its first days in Germany. Although the company’s tag line is now ‘Das Auto’ (translating as simply ‘The Car’), Volkswagen cars are still very much the people’s car, given their current and continuing popularity. In fact VW cars are in demand so much that the car manufacturer has turned out the third largest volume of cars worldwide in the last year.
A VW lease is a popular option for those looking to ‘own’ a reliable, relatively economical and environmentally-friendly car that really performs. The VW Golf and VW Polo are amongst the ‘greenest’ cars in their class, with the latest incarnations scoring well for fuel efficiency and low carbon emissions. So a VW lease on these cars will see the lease buyer spending considerably less at the pumps, thereby reducing running costs. The Golf diesel can achieve around 55mpg and the Polo averaging around 50mpg.
And in addition, because VWs are so reliable, their maintenance and servicing costs are more than reasonable, making them a favourable option for those otherwise occupied with the stresses and strains of busy modern living.
Depreciation values (or residual values) of cars are an important factor in calculating the cost of a lease – and this is partly why a VW lease is such a popular option. The VW Fox and VW Eos have recently appeared in MSN’s ‘Depreciation Heroes’ Top 10, making them both attractive options for those looking for a real cost-efficient leasing deal.

Wal-Mart may contribute hydrogen stations at stores for fuel sell vehicle. Is it still possible??

Filed under Hydrogen Cars
New fuel sell (hydrogen) vehicle Honda FCX is coming this summer in California, and BMW fuel sell vehicle are coming soon. Also, some of United State company are planning.
http://automobiles.honda.com/fcx-clarity/owning/
From Honda web site,
You can be confident that the FCX Clarity has met all required U.S. safety standards. Even the unique structure of the FCX Clarity has its own omni-directional crash protection to help protect the hydrogen and electrical devices in the event of a collision.

Info. from New York Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal…
http://automobiles.honda.com/fcx%2Dclarity/press/
Many problems related to hydrogen vehicle are solved. Now government and corporation involvements are the most important topic; however, Petroleum Company will not help this project. If the largest corporation, such as “Wal-Mart” helps building fuel stations, this fuel sell vehicle can be driven all over the United Stats. Also, Honda is creating and testing the garage fuel station for home owners; therefore, Wal-Mart surely can help building their fuel station at stores and safely provide hydrogen.
About one year ago, Wal-Mart headquarters told to media they want to help hydrogen market. If this is true, they still want to do this project or not. Is there some one know about this?
This is the vest alternative fuel, since this vehicle emits only water vapor.
