To me the best feature of this car isn't one of its technical specs, but its price. It starts at around US$ 13'ooo in the United States, which is incredibly good value for such a beautiful car. I'm trying to convince my father to buy me one when I go study in the United States. At least he won't be able to say that costs are too high.

Audi R8 Spyder
The audi R8 is probably one of the best-looking cars on sale today. As I was talking to my friend Francisco last week, another R8 fan, the white one is probably one of the "sexiest" cars around.

As it was already introduced in the last post, Fiat recently announced the totally-redesigned Uno model for the Brazilian market. Now, this post highlights the regular versions, its specs and its prices.
The picture above is the interior of all the trim levels. The appearance only varies depending on the options the person chooses, which vary from power windows to air-bags. The buyer may also choose visual accessories, such as stickers, wheels and dashboard colors.
André's opinion
I went to a dealer to see this car, and I think it has everything to be a best-seller. It has plenty of room on the inside, and it is compact enough to fit into almost any parking space. In addition, the accessories the person may equip the car with allow them to build an unique car. This has everything to be a best seller, and the best of all, it's cheap!

New Fiat Uno Ecology Concept
It is rare for Brazilian carmakers to make concept cars, or concept versions of their cars. Fiat just released the all-new restyling for their oldest model on sale, the Uno. And during the debut event, they surprised everybody by showing a concept version of the Uno, called the "Ecology Concept." As the name already suggests, this is only a concept model, which could make it to production or not.
The "Ecology Concept" does not fit any ground-breaking technology, like the American and European carmakers do in their home countries. Instead, it proposes simple technologies that can make a car more efficient, and are not expensive to implant in production models. It features a start-stop system, which shuts down the engine at speeds below 3km/h and switches it back on as the driver takes its foot off the brakes.
It also features a tire-pressure monitoring system, which assists the driver in maintaining optimum tire pressures, so that fuel consumption is not increased. The most unusual technologies it carries are plastics, fabrics and some parts of the body made of recycled PET bottles and coconut fibers; it also features photovoltaic solar panels on its roof, which make it look as if a glass roof was installed. It is unlikely that Fiat will release an "Ecology" version of the Uno with all these features, but it is indeed likely that it will use some of these technologies on already-existing trim levels.
André's opinionFiat's redesigned Uno is a very good-looking car, but I have not seen it in person yet. Only after I actually see it, I will have a strong opinion about it. However, I find these technologies simple and easy to implant on models, which could not only benefit the driver with lower fuel consumption, but also reduce the car's impact on the environment.
