STI will become like BMW M

A new regional office for Fuji Heavy Industries in Singapore will be opened in order to further study the customer preferences of the Subaru’s parent company in the Asean region. 

During the press conference, the Corporate Senior Vice-President for Fuji Heavy Industries And Chief General Manager For Subaru Overseas & Marketing Division 2 Plus Subaru Parts & Accessories Division, Hidetoshi Kobayashi said that despite the 70 percent contribution of Japanese cars in the regional car sales, Subaru is still being left behind in terms of sales.

However, Kobayashi said that the sales during the 2013 January local assembly in Malaysia and the Thailand and Indonesia exports increased “by more than ten times. So we though, now is the time to be more aggressive and sell more cars, and to do that we really need to know the customers really want from a Subaru car.”

Due to the difficulties of the past years like many other Japanese automobile manufacturers, Subaru managed to come up with a strategy to turn things around. And in 2013, Subaru have seen 26 percent sales improvement in USA which they were able to achieve through XV crossover and new WRX performance sedan release.

That’s not all, Mr. Kobayashi definitely created a buzz due to his intent to increase model range for Asean and Singapore and run like a premium sub-brand.

Imagine more Levorg wagon and then STI running around in Singapore like a BMW M?

Car Detailing: Things That You Should Know

Aside from dirt wiping, car grooming has more to offer. Here they are.

Don’t Start Cleaning Without Lubricant

You will prevent scratching the paint when you use water, spray wax, waterless wash product or soap, plus it will surely remove dirt from the exterior. Unlike wiping it dry where you’re just probably pushing the dirt around.

Work Step By Step

You risk causing water spots on the paint, wasting time and smudging the windows when you don’t clean strategically. Don’t splash the entire car right away, clean the wheels first, then the paint, work on the interior next and the windows.

Allot One Bucket To Mitt Painted Areas

Use separate wash mitt for the paint and wheels. This way you avoid scratching the paint with the brake dust from the wheels when you use a single mitt for the entire car.

Use Grit Guard Insert

Put it in the bucket. This will prevent dirt at the bottom of the bucket from soiling the mitt that you use to clean the car.

Use Wheel Woolies

They make scrubbing easier because it gets into narrow spaces that is hard to reach with ordinary scrubs.

Microfiber Towels Are For The Paint

A heavy 300-400-gsm of microfiber towels are great on paint because it doesn’t scratch it, aside from that it easily picks up dirt when washing and release it when drying.

Waterless Wash Product For Cleaning

When combined with microfiber towel, you can forget water altogether. 5-10 towels and 10-20 ounces of this product can clean your car. Just use a scooping motion when picking up the dirt, with light pressure and you’re good to go.

Wet Painted Surfaces With Light-Mist Spray Wax Or Hydrophobic Drying Agent

This will provide a thin layer of protection when you’re on the process of drying the car after washing.

Portable Vacuum Blower For Tight Spots

This will release trapped water in mirrors, tailings, and emblems that will likely to spill out when you drive unless to remove it beforehand.

Vacuum Attachments For The Interior

When you’re done with the tight spots, use the attachments for air vent, crevice and other gaps.

Google’s New Endeavor: Self-Driving Vehicles

Despite the possibility of these self-driving cars to work on the road and signs that there are automakers willing to take on it and produce for public consumers, Google hast still made a clear answer about the future of their new technology.

For those who have been waiting, the question have finally been answered, Google is onto building their own self-driving steering wheels-free cars.

100 prototype vehicles, furnished with two seats, just enough space for passengers and buttons for inputting directions is what the plans stated by Chris Urmson the Google’s director. This is after testing Toyota Priuses and Lexus RX 300s with sensors and Google software installed, for years.

In a blog post, Urmson stated that “They won’t have a steering wheel, accelerator pedal, or brake pedal… because they don’t need them. Our software and sensors do all the work. The vehicles will be very basic—we want to learn from them and adapt them as quickly as possible—but they will take you where you want to go at the push of a button.”

With the target to launch a pilot test project in California, since self-driving cars is legal there, in the near future, Google cars are reported to be limited to 25 mph only with seat belts, headlamps and wipers. They didn’t tell what powers the car, though.

Despite the buildup and assurances, legal and moral concerns are still being raised due to the fact that locations that aren’t mapped can’t be reached by Google’s system and it can’t tell the difference of object’s density also. Major car manufacturers still believe that a human input is still necessary to drive a car.

Although Google’s attempt on this self-driving cars looks promising and futuristic, consumers may still prefer to have control over a car than rely on the system alone due to safety concerns and driving experience (being able to step on the gas for speed and use the steering wheel to turn left and right is still way cooler right?). Why not develop a better paint protection so that car owners can always have a sleek and shiny car?
