| Toyota waves British flag with new Auris Posted: 28 Nov 2012 12:44 PM PST Chrises Cars - Toyota waves British flag with new Auris
The flag-waving effort comes with the launch of the latest Auris family car, which is built at Burnaston in Derbyshire. Speaking at the Auris launch in Portugal, Toyota GB MD Jon Williams says there is a growing awareness among customers that the brand builds cars in the UK; "That’s something we are going to make more of in the future." To get the message across, more than 1,600 sales staff from Toyota dealerships are being given factory tours at the Burnaston plant, which also builds the Avensis. Some 180 sales staff a day from across Toyota’s dealer network are visiting the factory over nine days, including parts not normally included in regular tours. "The sheer scale of the operation seems to be what impresses them most,” says Nick Freeman, of Toyota Motor Manufacturing. With a car coming off the production line every 66 seconds that’s hardly surprising. But the visit is not just about building cars – Toyota’s environmental credentials are reinforced too. Burnaston hasn’t sent any waste to landfill or incinerators in the last decade – how that is achieved is explained to visitors. “They get to see things you wouldn’t normally see,” says Freeman. The flexibility of the line also impresses. There are 120 base models with, for example, 85 different wing mirrors. The Auris and Avensis come down a single line in any combination of car, colour and trim. “It gives the sales staff something to talk about when they are with customers,” Freeman adds. The new Auris goes on sale from 3rd December. Prices range from £14,495 for the 1.33 in Active trim to £21,745 for the hybrid in Excel trim.

| Safety body criticizes Dacia after crash testing Lodgy Posted: 28 Nov 2012 12:27 PM PST Chrises Cars - Safety body criticizes Dacia after crash testing Lodgy
The safety body tested 15 recently released cars and all secured top five star ratings apart from the Dacia Lodgy MPV, which managed only three. Presenting its findings, Euro NCAP states that the Lodgy performed below average in all areas of safety. In the frontal impact test the car suffered a heavily deformed windscreen pillar with the roof bent in front of the B-pillar. The rear passenger floor panel and tunnel were completely separated, extending into the driver’s footwell and the transmission tunnel was deformed between the front seats. The Lodgy scored 44 per cent in the pedestrian test, while all other cars exceeded 60 per cent. The testers were also unimpressed with the car's child protection score of 77 per cent and also criticised Dacia for not making electronic stability control standard equipment, just beating the deadline before ESP becomes mandatory on new cars. Commenting on the results Euro NCAP Secretary General Dr Michiel van Ratingen describes the Lodgy result as disappointing. "The Lodgy is a budget vehicle and customers will accept compromises in comfort and performance, but not safety," he says, adding; "Euro NCAP believes that occupants' safety should be paramount, regardless of how much they pay for their vehicle."  Side impact test for the Range Rover Euro NCAP highlights the Range Rover and the Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid as performing well – the Volvo scores very similarly to its conventionally-engined counterpart despite the extra 350 kilos of the hybrid powertrain, while conversely the Range Rover has lost more than 200kg compared to its predecessor. The latest Mk7 Golf is praised for the several advanced driver assistance technologies available for it, including a Multi Collision Brake system, Front Assist and Proactive Occupant Protection. But it gets a minus black mark for not having a standard-fit rear seatbelt reminder. New driver technologies are also highlighted on the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, with Collision Prevention Assist and Attention Assist as standard, and the Ford Fiesta with its MyKey This is a programmable key system that allows limiting of some safety-critical characteristics of the car – parents for example limit the maximum speed on their child's car. Dr Ratingen believes that programmable keys open up a whole new range of possibilities, and not just for parents; "The technology will also be of interest to companies with safe-driving policies and I look forward to more widespread application of this sort of system in the future." The other cars earning the five-star award are the Fiat 500L, Ford Kuga, Hyundai Santa Fe; Mitsubishi Outlander, Opel/Vauxhall Mokka, SEAT Leon; the Skoda Rapid and sister car the SEAT Toledo and Subaru Forester.

Lexus ranked as the top luxury brand in JD Power’s 2012 Sales Satisfaction Index Study, with Mini occupying the first place for mass-market brands.According to the survey, consumers are increasingly satisfied with the auto-buying experience, as overall sales satisfaction among new-vehicle buyers increased to 664 on a 1,000-point scale, up from 648 a year earlier. Most of the gain was due to better salesperson ratings. All 11 luxury brands and nine of the 20 mass-market brands scored above industry average in JD Power’s 2012 survey. For the second consecutive year, Lexus was the top-rated luxury brand with a 737 score, followed by Infiniti, with 728. The Nissan-owned brand was the biggest gainer of all brands, with 52 points more than a year ago, when it ranked eighth. Cadillac, Lincoln, Porsche and Mercedes-Benz occupy the next four spots, all scoring above the luxury average of 716. The mass-market brand list was topped by Mini for a third straight year with a 712 score. Buick ranked second and GMC third, with GM placing all three of its mass-market brands in the top five. Fiat was fourth and Subaru tied with Chevrolet for fifth. Ford, Honda and Volkswagen also scored above the mass-market average of 657.
