Many automaker industry analysts are starting to give dire predictions for auto sales in 2006-2007 and say things could continue to get worse and slip even more. US Automakers fear increased competition and increased market share losses from the Japanese imports and the future Chinese cars as well. Much is being blamed on the obvious; high fuel prices.

IPods Will Be in Cars in 2007 - Who Knew What Amazing Technology Advances

Filed under: Fuel Economy — Administrator @ 4:45 am

BMW installed IPods into the audio system two years ago. The player is plugged into an adapter that goes in the glove box. Using the car’s normal controls, users can access their own music library.

Chevrolet was co-founded by Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant. Louis Chevrolet was a Swiss racecar driver, who developed the design of the first Chevrolet. William Durant, was the man who actually founded General Motors, but was forced out of it in 1910. He wanted to use Louis Chevrolet’s unique designs to make his way back to the top of the automobile industry.

In 1916, Chevrolet was enough a strong player to allow Durant to buy his way in to General Motors. After the deal was finalized in 1917, Durant was president of General Motors, and Chevrolet was merged into GM, becoming a separate division.

In 1911, Chevrolet and Durant entered the automobile market to compete with the Ford Model T. In 1914, the “Classic Six” Chevrolet started marketing a new model they called ” The Classic Six”. It was a 5-passenger touring sedan equipped with a 4.9 L, 6-cylinder engine capable of taking the car’s passengers to a “stunning” top speed of 15 miles per hour.

General Motors and Ford, number one and number two automakers, will provide compatibility for seventy percent of autos sold in the United States for Apple Computer. All new models produced by GM and Mazda will offer iPod integration. Ford will offer this technology on many Fords and Lincoln Mercury models this year.

Automakers say they are reacting to consumer trends. Sales if iPods and MP3 players should more than double between 2005 and 2009. Sales are predicted to be 132 million a year in 2009. Since Ipod has approximately seventy-five percent of this market currently, it makes good sense to work on integrating the technology now into autos.

The first use of the Chevrolet logo we all know was in 1913. That logo is often called “the bowtie”.
