			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Citroen’s revolutionary new interpretation of the large car, the  refined, luxurious, uniquely-styled and dramatic <a title="Citroen DS5" href="http://www.andrewsimmseuropean.co.nz">Citroen DS5</a>, has been  named “Family Car of the Year” by the leading UK magazine, Top Gear, in  the publication’s annual automotive awards.</p>
<p>Set to arrive in New Zealand in the middle of 2012, the family-sized  DS5, combines distinctive style with creative technology and takes  design inspiration from the world of aviation, and it saw off tough  competition from already established models to take the best family car  title.</p>
<p>Top Gear magazine said; “DS5 is a well-grounded, slick, futuristic  machine, both inside and out. The is quirky but rational, exciting but  functional and put together with considerable care, just like the rest  of the car. And that makes it very pleasing indeed. All of which goes to  show that because the DS5 isn’t a half-hearted copy of a German saloon,  it’s the better for it.”</p>
<p>The award means a second year of success for <a title="Citroen" href="http://www.andrewsimmseuropean.co.nz">Citroën</a>. In 2010, Citroën DS3 won both Top Gear magazine’s ‘Small Car of the Year’ and overall ‘Car of the Year’ accolades.</p>
<p>“A second year of recognition for Citroën in the Top Gear magazine  awards is a tremendous achievement and further proof the DS range is  cementing Citroën’s reputation for class-leading design,” said Linda  Jackson, Citroën UK’s Managing Director. “Standing out from the crowd  with its unique looks, Citroën flair and innovative Hybrid4 technology,  New DS5 is about an outstanding motoring experience for the whole family  to enjoy.”</p>
<p>The <a title="new Citroen DS5" href="http://www.andrewsimmseuropean.co.nz">new Citroën DS5</a> is an aerodynamic masterpiece with taut features,  flowing lines and a dynamic profile. The model’s compact and agile  design also delivers exemplary handling and meticulous soundproofing.</p>
<p>With pilot-style overhead switches inspired by plane cockpits, the  cabin blends ergonomic function with aesthetic appeal. Immaculate  attention to detail and authentic premium materials ensure an immediate  impression of quality and refinement.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There was a whole new type of star on stage at this year’s American  Music Awards® (The AMAs) when the <a title="Fiat 500" href="http://www.andrewsimmseuropean.co.nz">Fiat 500</a> made its Hollywood stage  debut at the Nokia Theatre performing alongside Jennifer Lopez during  her live performance of her latest hit ‘Papi’ on Sunday (20 November 2011).</p>
<p>The Fiat 500 has already worked with Jennifer Lopez, including  appearing in Lopez&#8217;s new music video for &#8220;Papi,&#8221; as well as in a  30-second trailer of the video. Lopez also appears in two additional  commercials for Fiat broadcast in the USA, &#8220;My World&#8221; and &#8220;Elegance,&#8221;  which feature the Fiat 500 Cabrio and the Fiat 500 by Gucci models.</p>
<p>&#8220;Fiat honoured to share the stage with Jennifer Lopez at the 2011  American Music Awards. Her drive and determination is the common thread  that is shared with the brand and our philosophy that &#8220;Life is Best When  Driven&#8221;, said Olivier Francois, CEO of the Fiat Brand. &#8220;This appearance  allows us to continue to expose the Fiat 500 to a wide demographic.  These past few days have been momentous for FIAT as we have recently  revealed the new Abarth 500 at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show.&#8221;</p>
<p>In 1973 Dick Clark created the American Music Awards to pay tribute  to popular musicians from various genres of music and to put audiences  in touch with the latest phenomena in American music. Since its  founding, the AMAs have honoured and showcased the talents of some of  the biggest names in the music industry.<br />
Infused with the spirit and character of the original Cinquecento, the  new <a title="Fiat 500" href="http://www.andrewsimmseuropean.co.nz">Fiat 500</a> and convertible Fiat 500C continue to build on the  vehicle&#8217;s global popularity. Since its initial launch in 2007, the new  Fiat 500 has been sold in more than 80 countries around the world. The  model&#8217;s unquestionable popularity is the result of the Fiat 500&#8217;s great  ability to deliver a unique personality with advanced solutions in terms  of quality, engine and passenger comfort. In addition to success on the  sales front, the Fiat 500 has earned more than 60 international awards,  including being named the 2008 European Car of the Year, 2009 World Car  Design of the Year and Best New Engine of 2010.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Joining the 1.4 125 kW MultiAir and the 1.7 litre 173 kW TBi small capacity/high output engines already used in the <a title="Alfa Romeo Giulietta" href="http://www.andrewsimmseuropean.co.nz">Alfa Romeo  Giulietta</a>, the Italian car maker has announced that it will launch a  new 1.8 litre 224 kW engine in early 2013 which, says Alfa Romeo, will  set new performance, economy and emissions standards.</p>
<p>Designed for both transverse and longitudinal applications, the new  direct injection four cylinder engine will be compliant with future  emissions standards in both Europe (Euro 6) and the U.S. (Tier 2 Bin 5)  and will be used in both existing and future models.</p>
<p>Made entirely of aluminium, the engine will incorporate the most  advanced technological content; including a 200-bar gasoline direct  injection system, dual variable timing and a high-efficiency  turbocharger.</p>
<p>The aluminium architecture, combined with the most innovative  technologies, will offer power-to-weight ratio, fuel efficiency,  acoustic/NVH comfort, and driving performance that are the very best in  its category and characteristic of Alfa Romeo engines.</p>
<p>“This  is an extremely important step for Alfa Romeo, as we continue to  reposition our brand and prepare it for global distribution. The United  States remains our primary objective as we prepare for a 2013  introduction of our models,” added Harald J. Wester, Fiat’s Chief  Technology Officer and head of the Alfa Romeo and Maserati Brands. “The  dedication of Group-wide resources to develop specific powertrain  solutions for the specific needs of Alfa Romeo is a reflection of the  renewed thrust we are placing on the development of this brand. This is a  first step in a series of initiatives to be implemented in the near  future which will reconnect Alfa Romeo to its historical roots as a  premium Italian sports car brand.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The recently launched all-new BT-50 has been awarded an ANCAP (Australasian New Car Assessment Programme) 5-star safety rating.</p>
<p>The rating applies to all <a title="BT50" href="http://www.dcford.co.nz">BT-50</a> models sold in New Zealand. The  vehicle scored a total of 34.72 points, receiving 15.72 out of 16 in the  offset crash test, 16 out of 16 in the side impact crash test and a  further two points in the pole test.</p>
<p>“Mazda is committed to engineering great driving vehicles that  maximize the safety of their passengers,” says Andrew Clearwater,  Managing Director of Mazda New Zealand.</p>
<p>“The BT-50 is designed for on and off-road use. This 5-star rating  will provide drivers and passengers with the confidence that its  impact-protection systems will minimize occupant injury as well as  vehicle damage and repair costs.</p>
<p>“The BT-50 is a fantastic vehicle that provides the versatility of an  off-road vehicle with car like comfort. The 5-star safety rating will  further enhance its reputation,” continues Clearwater.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The first of Mazda’s new-generation vehicles to  fully adopt breakthrough SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY and new ‘KODO – Soul of  Motion’ design theme</p>
<p>Mazda Motor Corporation will hold the world premiere of the  all-new Mazda CX-5 compact crossover SUV at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor  Show (September 13 through 25, 2011).  The CX-5 is the first of a new  generation of Mazda vehicles that will adopt the full range of Mazda’s  breakthrough SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY and new design theme, ‘KODO &#8211; Soul of  Motion’.</p>
<p>Developed around the full range of SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY &#8211;  including all-new Mazda petrol and diesel engines, manual and automatic  transmissions, body and chassis &#8211; the CX-5 delivers precise response and  a high-quality ride matched with outstanding environmental and safety  performance.  The new model will be progressively introduced to global  markets from early 2012.</p>
<p>Andrew Clearwater, Managing Director of  Mazda New Zealand, says, “The design follows the striking new ‘KODO &#8211;  Soul of Motion’ theme and paired with the SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY, takes  Mazda into a new generation. We believe the CX-5 will prove very popular  with the New Zealand motoring public when it is launched here in 2012.”</p>
<p>The  CX-5 is the first production model to showcase the ‘KODO – Soul of  Motion’ design theme, which was previewed with the Mazda SHINARI and  Mazda MINAGI concept cars. Unique themes of KODO design include a  prominent new front view with a bolder family face and dynamic styling  that conveys a strong sense of vitality and agility.</p>
<p>Joining the  CX-5 on Mazda’s stand at the Frankfurt show will be the facelifted  Mazda3. It delivers lower CO2 emissions; more sporty and stable driving  dynamics; updated interior and exterior design; and higher quality  levels.</p>
<p>Officially titled the 64th Internationale  Automobil-Ausstellung(IAA), the Frankfurt Motor Show will open to the  press on September 13 and 14, and to the public from September 15  through 25, 2011.</p>

</div>
<ul>
<li>All-new Focus comes to market this year with two exciting  bodystyles, three powertrains and four specification levels, including a  new high-series Titanium variant</li>
<li>New Focus combines dynamic design and exceptional array of  smart new technologies with high levels of craftsmanship, outstanding  occupant safety and further advances in acclaimed levels of driving  quality</li>
<li>Offers a range of advanced technologies including Active Park Assist and Torque Vectoring Control</li>
<li>Fuel-efficient, low-CO2 powertrains including new 2.0-litre GDi  direct injection petrol engine and completely updated 2.0-litre  Duratorq TDCi diesel engine, both available with latest six-speed  PowerShift automatic transmission</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>AUCKLAND, New Zealand, </strong>– The dynamic all-new <a title="Ford Focus" href="http://www.dcford.co.nz">Ford Focus</a> is on its  way to New Zealand and will arrive at dealerships in October.  Competitive pricing will be announced closer to the on sale date. The  all-new Focus lands in New Zealand with an exciting two-model line-up  from launch featuring a sporty five-door hatchback and sleek four-door  sedan. The wagon bodystyle will arrive from March 2012.</p>
<p>The all-new Focus is a key element of the Ford product portfolio and has  been expanded to include a new high-series Titanium variant, offering  luxury levels of convenience and comfort that will please buyers  shifting from larger and luxury-class vehicles.</p>
<p>With more than 10 million units sold since its introduction in 1998, the  Ford Focus has become a firm favourite with consumers worldwide for its  outstanding value, comfort and safety, and above all, for being great  fun to drive.</p>
<p>Following an unprecedented global development program under the  company&#8217;s One Ford strategy, the next-generation Focus is set to  continue the successful tradition of its predecessors.</p>
<p>“The all-new Focus raises the bar for expressive design, affordable  innovation, superior quality, responsive performance and exceptional  fuel economy,” said Chris Masterson, Marketing Manager, Ford New  Zealand.</p>
<p>Distinguished by its sleek and sporty design, the new Focus is packed  with more technologies and features than ever previously offered by Ford  in this market segment.</p>
<h3>Developed in Europe, for sale worldwide</h3>
<p>Developed in Europe, for sale in more than 120 markets worldwide with 80  per cent parts commonality, the next-generation Focus is the hero model  created from Ford Motor Company&#8217;s new global small car platform. This  platform will underpin at least ten vehicles around the world and  account for two million units of annual production by 2012.</p>
<p>“A year ago, we shared our vision for a new generation of small cars  from a common global platform,” said Derrick Kuzak, Ford group vice  president for Global Product Development.</p>
<p>“We&#8217;ve delivered the all-new C-MAX and Grand C-MAX for the European  markets and with the all-new Focus we’re demonstrating the possibilities  this new global approach has for transforming the core of the Ford  product lineup around the world.”</p>
<p>Volume Production Has Already Commenced at the Lead Ford Focus Assembly Plants in Saarlouis (Germany) and Michigan (USA).</p>
<p>European production will be expanded in mid-2011 when the assembly plant  in St. Petersburg (Russia) starts building the four-door and five-door  models.</p>
<p><a title="New Zealand Ford Focus" href="http://www.dcford.co.nz">New Zealand Focus</a> models will be sourced from the lead European assembly plant in Saarlouis.</p>
<h3>Striking, streamlined design</h3>
<p>Both new Focus bodystyles share a sporty and dynamic character, marking  the next evolution of Ford’s acclaimed kinetic design form language,  which has contributed to the growing popularity of the company’s latest  small and medium global cars.</p>
<p>With its striking front end, sleek profile, dramatic rising beltline and  athletic stance, the new Focus clearly signals the rewarding driving  experience that awaits customers when they take to the road.</p>
<p>The all-new Focus sedan has a drag coefficient as low as 0.295, compared  to 0.320 for the current model. The streamlined Focus shape and steeply  raked windscreen contribute to significantly reduced drag, while  optimised aerodynamics help reduce wind noise at speed and contribute to  improved fuel efficiency.</p>
<p>Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) levels have been reduced and  driving dynamics improved by the increased stiffness of the body  structure, with 30 per cent greater rigidity than the previous Focus  model.</p>
<h3>Stylish, functional interior</h3>
<p>The dynamic quality of the exterior is reinforced by the distinctive  design of the interior. The new Focus has a modern, cockpit-style  interior, with the stylish centre console wrapped around the driver and  providing outstanding access to the vehicle’s major controls.</p>
<p>Ford’s latest-generation Human Machine Interface (HMI) system is used  within the cockpit, with twin five-way toggle switches on the steering  wheel controlling the two main vehicle displays located in the  instrument cluster and high in the centre of the instrument panel.</p>
<p>The interior combines outstanding functionality with outstanding  craftsmanship. The cabin’s bold and contemporary graphics, the  sculptured shape of the soft-touch instrument panel and the choice of  superior trim materials all help to give occupants the feeling that they  are travelling in a premium-class car.</p>
<h3>Smart technology enhances convenience and safety</h3>
<p>The global scale of Ford’s small car program makes additional  technologies and features more economically viable for cars in this  segment. This unprecedented technology investment is aimed at ensuring  the new Focus offers customers an exciting array of advanced features  generally found only in larger, more expensive vehicles.</p>
<p>While the number of features offered in each market will vary according  to local customer demand and acceptance, the full range of technologies  has been engineered for the new Focus.</p>
<p>Smart innovations available on the all-new Focus for New Zealand include Active Park Assist<sup>*</sup>, cruise control with Adjustable Speed Limiting Device (ASLD)<sup>#</sup>, keyless entry system with push button start* and Adaptive Cruise Control*.</p>
<p><em>* Titanium only<br />
# Trend, Sport &amp; Titanium</em></p>
<p>Active Park Assist is a semi-automatic parallel parking system that uses  sensors around the vehicle and the new Electric Power Assisted Steering  (EPAS) system to guide the vehicle into place. It measures the length  and depth of the chosen parking space and then steers itself into  position, while the driver controls the accelerator, brake and gear  selection.</p>
<p>Passive safety features include a new generation of advanced airbag  restraint systems with driver and front passenger airbags, side front  airbags and side curtain airbags for front- and rear-seat occupants, as  well as an exceptionally strong and light steel bodyshell.</p>
<p>The new bodyshell makes use of more high-strength steels than any previous Ford.</p>
<p>High strength steels comprise 55 per cent of the body shell and more  than 26 per cent of the vehicle structure is formed from ultra  high-strength and Boron steels. These advanced materials help the  structure meet the most stringent crash legislation across world markets  while minimising overall vehicle weight.</p>
<h3>Unmatched driving quality</h3>
<p>When it was introduced globally in 1998, the original Ford Focus brought  new levels of agility and responsiveness to the small car segment. The  next-generation Focus plans to raise the benchmark once more, targeting  class-leading driving quality that blends outstanding steering precision  and road feedback with significantly improved refinement and ride  control.</p>
<p>Ford engineers have enhanced Focus&#8217; cornering stability and agility with  the introduction of an advanced Torque Vectoring Control system, which  is fitted as standard equipment.</p>
<p>The system behaves like a limited-slip differential to constantly  balance the distribution of torque between the front wheels, which  results in reduced understeer, improved traction and better turn-in.  This technology has, up to now, typically only been available on premium  sports vehicles.</p>
<p>Ford engineers have also retuned and enhanced the innovative suspension  concepts from prior models, developing optimised new designs for the  Control Blade Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) and the semi-isolated  front subframe.</p>
<p>The new chassis design also now incorporates a completely new Electric  Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) system on mid- and high-series models,  which has been tuned to deliver precise response at speed while  remaining light and manoeuvrable for easy parking.</p>
<h3>Spirited performance with outstanding economy</h3>
<p>The engaging driver appeal of the new Ford Focus is magnified by a  three-prong powertrain range that delivers spirited performance and  offers outstanding fuel economy and CO2 emissions. The powertrain  line-up includes an all-new 2.0-litre GDi (gasoline direct injection)  petrol engine that combines high-pressure direct injection and twin  independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT) for enhanced performance  and fuel efficiency</p>
<p>A completely updated 2.0-litre Duratorq TDCi common rail turbo diesel  engine is also part of the line-up. Both engines offer significant  increases in power and torque compared to the outgoing model.</p>
<p>Both engines are matched to the latest six-speed PowerShift automatic transmission.</p>
<p>The third powertrain comes in the form of a 1.6-litre Duratec Ti-VCT  engine (only available on Ambiente), which will be the fuel economy  leader for the new Focus range, providing a reduction in fuel  consumption of more than 15 per cent compared to the outgoing model.</p>
<h3>Ford Focus – a history of success</h3>
<p>With well over 10 million units sold since its initial launch in 1998,  the Focus brand has been a tremendous success in markets around the  world. Previous generations have been produced in Germany, Spain, USA,  Mexico, China, Taiwan, Russia, Philippines, Vietnam and South Africa.</p>
