The Car Hub

The car in question is a fantastic one-off Delahaye built in 1949 (pictured), the like of which you won’t see on our roads again; once described as “curvaceous, outlandish and sexy”, just like one of its previous owners, British actress Diana Dors.

Good news for Peugeot fans, the company are now offering zero rate (0%) and very low interest repayment offers on nearly all their models.
This Peugeot offer follows on the heels of Vauxhall’s continuing their swappage scheme with generous part-ex allowances; both the above offers will help car sales of the new “10” registration plate commencing in a week’s time.

Some overdue good news for the UK motoring industry sees Vauxhall announcing an extension of its successful “swappage” scheme.
3 more Vauxhall models, the Insignia, Meriva and Zafira have been added which now allows buyers to use any 7 year old car, providing its covered by insurance, road tax and MOT, in part exchange.

The month of February 2010 may go down as the start of the new electric car revolution.
Quite appropriately it has started in Japan in the East with giant car makers Nissan and Renault joining forces with the All Japan Ryokan Association (AJRA) who will promote and install electric car charging facilities in their 18,000 hotels.

The Renault-Nissan alliance are leading the way with new innovative electric car charging. They are now introducing electric car charging facilities via an affiliate organization into a major chain of hotels in Japan.

Today the 4th. February it has been announced by the government that the car scrappage scheme will be extended for the second time to the end of March, this is due to the last tranche of the £400 million set aside for the scheme not being taken up by buyers.
Three months ago The Car Hub team had once again clearly stated that they continued to oppose the government scrappage scheme as it brought little benefit to the UK.

It is now becoming much more the case that the choice of car you purchase does not just rest with the car’s size, the basic instruments, the cup holders or seat covers etc, but what engine you have in your car.
We’re not talking here about a choice simply between petrol and diesel engines but what type of petrol or diesel engine, confusing?

Mazda have announced today that they will feature their new face-lifted Mazda6 for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show in March.
The new version of the 6 will give the car a much sportier look with new headlamps and rear light units.
Under the bonnet there will be a brand new 2.0 litre DISI petrol engine which is reportedly more frugal on fuel and produces less carbon gas emissions than the old outgoing unit.
