Let us begin this report by examining how closely related Cost/Mile is to the Size of the car being tested. To do this, a multiple regression analysis was run using Cost/Mile as the dependent variable, and the ‘dummy’ variables Family-Sedan and Upscale-Sedan as independent variables.

There are more than 253 Million cars and trucks in the U.S at this moment. That sounds like a lot but really it isn’t that many. For every 1.3 cars or trucks there is only one person in the United States. With this many cars and trucks in the U.S. there is bound to be some controversy about which one is better. Many people may prefer trucks over cars and in vice versa. They both have their advantages and disadvantages. While trucks are better at hauling or towing things, cars have better gas mileage and can hold more people.

Conventional wisdom was that diesel was the only way to deliver significant fuel economy improvements in trucks. However, the growing emergence of direct-injected and turbocharged gasoline engines have made the fuel economy difference between gas and diesel engines much smaller than before. Seredynski said that regardless of fuel, the end goal is the same: maximum power from the minimum amount of fuel. The Ram 1500 Eco Diesel is the current full size pickup mileage champ at 20/28 mpg in EPA testing, but Ford's new 2.7L Eco Boost V-6 gas engine is likely not be far behind. Another enabling technology that has increased economy on both gas and diesel engines are transmissions with much higher gear counts, with six speeds now considered the

Andrew Simms, a policy director and head of the Climate Change Program for the New Economics Foundation in England, presents his argument about the impact SUV’s have on our roadways, and the air we breathe. “Would You Buy a Car That Looked like This? “. The title alone gives great insight on what the article is going to be about, (vehicles). “They clog the streets and litter the pages of weekend colour *supplements. Sport utility vehicles or SUV’s have become badges of middle class aspiration” (Simms 542). Simms opening statement not only gives his opinion on how SUV’s are the new trend, but he also paints a picture of what we see every day driving down our roadways. Simms also compares the tobacco industry’s gap between image and reality

Sedans, which is a four door automobile, seem to be one of the safest types cars to date; therefore, numerous parents of teenagers decide to purchase these as first cars for their children. In just this body type, dozens of different brands exist: Honda, Ford, Toyota, and Chevrolet. Being somewhat small and simple catch the eye of many parents because they want an affordible yet reliable car for their teengaers. A good example of teenagers first sedan is the Honda Accord, which is one of America’s top safety picks. The Accord is rated in the top ten in the Driver Magazine. It is also unique because it is available in two different body styles, Sedan and Coupe.

For the better part of nearly 2 decades leading up to 2007 the automotive market was dominated by light trucks and suv’s. US auto makers were able to make very high profit margins off of these vehicles due to their price point while they could hardly break even on compact cars so the industry put very high focus on making them, causing them to become cheaper and sales to skyrocket. The general public ate it right up with low asking prices, loads of room, and perceived safety. Sales were at an all time high for entering the new millennium, surpassing minivan sales by 1994. It seemed like nothing could stop SUV’s from selling like hot cakes, that was until 2008.

Eventually electric cars had a down fall and almost everybody went back to gasoline automobiles. That however, wasn’t the end of electric cars completely, they had made a comeback in 2006 when Tesla Motors publicly unveils the ultra-sporty Tesla Roadster at the San Francisco International Auto show In November. Since Gas prices reached an all-time high it was very easy for car makers to shift over into making smaller, more fuel efficient cars, preferably ones that didn’t run on gas. Electric cars are a lot smaller and people with big families obviously won’t be able to take them on family outings, but I wouldn’t be surprised with car making industries start making more fuel efficient SUV’s or Trucks. By the looks of how things are going I say electric cars are going to take off at any moment. Now we push onto the future of self-driving cars, no one is thinking that self-driving cars is coming anytime soon, but they couldn’t be more wrong. According to Alex hern a person who rode in a prototype of a self- driving car had this to

The majority of new compact cars get good fuel economy, but the Dodge Dart and the Ford Focus exceed more than most of their competition. The Dart delivers 41 MPG on the highway, and the Focus delivers 38 MPG. If

For instance SUV’s for who have high income rate, smaller cars like Polo or Golf for who have lower income rate. According to Age scale VW appeal to 18-49. For example, when young people get a driver’s licence, their family buy them Polo or Golf generally and another situation who like fast and sport car VW offers them a different type of car such as Polo GTI, Golf R, Golf GTI, Scirocco and Scirocco

Diesels get better fuel economy than gas engines because they use a leaner air/fuel ratio meaning more air is taken in than fuel (Truck Trend). Diesel automobiles were popular in the 1970s and 1980s for their fuel efficiency. They are become more popular again for the same reason(Blackwell). The reason diesels get better mpg than gas is because the runoff combustion instead of spark (Truck Trend). The higher the compression ratio the better the fuel economy (Truck

It was once much easier to chose a vehicle, as the number of choices were limited. Today day there are so many types to chose from, most are self explanatory, some may confuse many people. The crossover is a relatively new type of vehicle, and many people may not know what a crossover is.

Technology has brought many luxuries to people. The invention of the automobile has brought convenience to everyday living. People use their vehicles to commute to work, school, home, and other events. Some people cannot even imagine living life without the use of an automobile. People have different tastes in the type of automobile that they drive; the automotive industry has made several different ways to commute. The car and the sports utility vehicle seem to be the most common types. The sports utility vehicle is inferior to the car.

SUV’s have become the center of a large controversy in the last couple of years. Many studies have been conducted on the relation to the economy and the popularity of the SUV. The sport utility vehicle not only affects the economy with its gas-guzzling capabilities during a time of war, but with the safety questions that have continued to arise.

There are many different types but the main four types are sedans, coupes, sports utility vehicles (SUV), and pickup trucks. there are a few sub-categories like van/minivans, wagons, and hatchbacks but they are included in the four main types. There are also different types of drive types such as front wheel drive, rear wheel drive, or 4x4/all wheel drive.
