2009 Audi A4 Avant revealed ahead of Geneva
Wagonistas, your chariot has arrived. After showing off the new-for-2009 A4 in Frankfurt, Audi has finally released the details about for its A4 Avant prior to its debut in Geneva next month.
The estate version of the A4 is nearly identical to the sedan from the B-pillar forward, but now features 50-cubic feet of cargo capacity out back. An optional power liftgate is available and the load floor is reversible if you happen to be toting a set of used wheels in the trunk and the mat is coated in brake dust. Overall, the Avant gains about five inches in length, but is almost ten-percent lighter than the outgoing model.
Although powerplant details are scarce, those of us in the States will be stuck with the 2.0-liter TFSI mill, while sedan buyers get a choice of either the four-cylinder or the 3.2-liter V6.
We'll have more from the show floor next month, but in the meantime, check the gallery below for a handful of high-res shots and make the jump for Audi's press release.
Ugur Sahin Design dreams up Corvette Z03 Concept
The last time Ugur Sahin Design came up on our radar, it was for a beautiful modern Ferrari Dino rendering that had us hoping for a production version. Sahin has a come up with a new concept, this time based on a Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Unlike the Dino, Sahin is hoping to actually build this car with a production run of 100, Dubbed the Z03, this concept features full carbon fiber bodywork and design cues from the C3 Corvette and a Ferrari 599 GTB. Performance will be a focus as well, with 100 pounds shaved off the car's overall weight, and three engine packages available from 500 to 750 horsepower. Further details will be available in March, and the delivery of a production car is optimistically set for the end of 2008.
Shot term Car Insurance

Traditionally, a car insurance policy lasts for a year at a time. But what if you won't have the car for that length of time? Perhaps you're just looking after a car while a friend is on holiday, and you need to be insured to drive it. You don't want to take out a full years premium for a car you'll only have for a fortnight, and your current insurance policy doesn't cover driving other cars.
So what can you do? Do you drive your friend's car without insurance and risk having it confiscated? You won't have your friend for very long! Or do you just leave it parked up and just hope that it will still run when your friend gets home?
Or do you get insured temporarily on the car? You can get temporary cover of a car or van for between 1 and 28 days, with an option for Third Party or Fully Comprehensive.
One months temporary car insurance will work out more than a months premium on a standard policy, but as you only pay the one-off fee it's an easy way to legally drive another car with no long-term commitment to an insurer.
Temporary insurance is also useful if you've just bought a new car and haven't managed to get full cover sorted out. You can arrange for a day or two of temporary insurance which will cover you driving back from the dealership.
Or perhaps your current policy has run out and you haven't had time to get a new car insurance quote? You can buy temporary cover giving you time to shop around for cheap car insurance at your leisure.
Temporary cover should not be seen as a substitute for a standard yearly policy. It is purely for situations like the ones outlines here, or in emergencies. But it can prove very beneficial, and certainly easier than trying to negotiate a second car on your current insurance policy!
