New Tucson crossover

While Toyota has been going through the wringer, Hyundai seems to be walking on water. Executives met with their dealers today in Orlando and it sounds like the news was mostly good, if not great.

The CEO of Hyundai Motor America, John Krafcik, crowed about the seven new models on the way. "The pipeline is bursting," he said. The new Sonata is so popular as an under-$20,000, high-mpg sedan that he says customers are literally buying them off the trucks arriving at dealers.

Spyshots: 2011 Hyundai Sonata

Hyundai Sonata is one of the most famous ones among Hyundai models and indeed all mid-sized family sedans, and I can’t think of a market in which Sonata hasn’t been present during its time. Next year the new generation will be introduced with some dramatic changes over the current model. You can notice some of the new stuffs through these latest spy pictures though…

Although the curves of the body is very well disguised, but the roof line is clearly visible. As you see it has become sleeker and more elegant, but calling it a four-door coupe style seems like a tall order. Specially because the Sonata is an economy family saloon, and that sorta car should not be too fancy! More than that, the next Sonata might not become a four-door coupe because it’ll cost it lots of interior space, and that’s the car’s party piece.

Anyways, we still have to wait to realize how it’ll look with new body lines, lights and grille. Hope that next shots will be clearer with less cover! Next generation Hyundai Sonata will also feature new technologies in tune with times.

India September Car Sales Rise on Diwali

Car sales in India rose 21% in September as the onset of several festivals and easing borrowing costs led customers to buy vehicles from Maruti Suzuki India Ltd., Hyundai Motor Co. and General Motors Co.

File photo of an employee standing amid cars at the stockyard of General Motors India Ltd. plant at Halol, about 150 kms(93 miles) east from the western Indian city of Ahmedabad August 28, 2009.

Sales in the past month climbed to 129,683 cars from 107,517 a year earlier, showed data issued Tuesday by the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers, an industry lobby group.

This is the eight straight month of growth in car sales and follows August's 26% and July's 31% jump, which was the biggest percentage gain since February 2007.

Higher lending rates and banks' reluctance to lend in a slowing economy had crimped demand for automobiles in India last year. But, a series of government stimulus packages, including tax cuts, earlier this year and rate cuts by banks are now encouraging people to buy new vehicles.

Sales in September received a boost also from the start of several Hindu festivals, which are considered auspicious for buying new vehicles.

In Argentina and other countries of the South America there is a considerable quantity of the voluntary organisations. However the basic voluntary organisations are based in Buenos Aires.

Thus in capital of Argentina socially-active citizens create voluntary funds and international groups for all interested in studying of the Spanish language. Also, study abroad scholarships is one more way to raise the professional qualification and knowledge.

Gratuitous Voluntary +1 in the Karma

Often voluntary activity is a direct way to highly paid work because the volunteer has a possibility to test in various fields of activity and different vital situations, thus to be defined with a choice of a course of life — as easy as shelling pears.

Voluntary activity is a wide range of activity, including traditional forms of mutual aid and empathy which is carried out voluntary, and the gratitude — is not the main motive.

Because the main idea of volunteers — to unite people from the different countries within the limits of the project of an embodiment of ideas of the world, international friendship and understanding. Thus the best way to understand people and their culture — together to work and study. In this plan, the Spanish schools in Buenos Aires — show the best example of rallying and friendship between the different people.

Who such volunteer?

The volunteer is any citizen, including foreign citizens who introduces the essential contribution to development of the voluntary help, being based on universal principles of voluntary activity.

Also, the volunteer is a person who works gratuitously, i.e. to aspire to realisation of socially-significant projects on a gratuitous basis. Thus, free Volunteering South America Foundations it's absolutely noncommercial organisations existing exclusively at the expense of the state grants or patronaging donations.

Volunteering for the person is possibility to save up social experience, to receive recommendations for the further career growth, also it is possibility to get acquainted with noncommercial activity and to find for itself a place in social sphere. Many volunteers start to create in due course own Voluntary Funds to embody own social projects.
