Car thieves shun 4x4s

By Nigel Wonnacott Motor Industry 01 July 2008 11:36 Greens hate their CO2 emissions, campaigners may question their safety record and owners might be feeling the pinch at the pump. But 4x4s can claim at least one advantage over smaller cars; they are among the least likely types of car to be stolen. According to the latest Home Office Car Theft Index, just four in every thousand 4x4s and people carriers in Britain were stolen in 2006, compared to seven for Fiesta and Astra-sized cars.

Genesis and Elantra to star in Hyundai's Super Bowl ads

Hyundai is getting ready for the Big Game, and by that we really mean the big ad game, and the stars of their seventh consecutive Super Bowl ads will be the 2015 Genesis and the 2014 Elantra. Last year's Super Bowl ad from the automaker featured the Hyundai Santa Fe in two spots titled "Epic Playdate" and "Team," both of which were well received. For Super Bowl XLVIII, the 2015 Hyundai Genesis spot titled "Dad's Sixth Sense" is set to air during the first quarter of the game, and all Hyundai is saying for now is that it will highlight the sedan's Automatic Emergency Braking feature in a way that relates to the near-misses and saves of everyday parenting.

Salon Privé 2011: Night Shift

Salon Prive does a Night Shift for the Pommery Picnic It may be a bit of an exagerration to say that Salon Privé – one of our favourite ‘Car’ outings – is going to include a night shift in 2011 – but almost. Salon Prive’s move from the Hurlingham in Chelsea out to the less central – but more hospitable – Duke of Northumberland’s gaff at Syon Park means there’s room to expand the event, so we’re getting treated to the ‘Pommery Picnic’ on the Friday evening – 7pm ’til 11pm. As we never fail to mention when we bang on about Salon Prive, it’s just like a Garden Party in a wealthy friend’s house where he just happens to have littered the grounds with the world’s greatest cars.
