Auto X Prize, DOE launch Fuel Our Future student website
Auto Blog: Etc. , Green Daily , Automotive X-Prize Know anyone who’s in school? The Progressive Automotive X Prize (AXP) launched a new website today that targets K-12 students in the U.S. with information about the vehicles and fuels of the future. It’s called, ta-da, Fuel Our Future Now . Divided into three sections – for elementary, middle school and high school students – the website provides videos, puzzles and interactive labs intended to teach students about energy use in vehicles. Teachers will also be able to get curriculum ideas and support for their classroom. While the site is up and running now, more features will be added in the coming months. This website is the first of three education program components that the AXP will bring to students along with the actual AXP competition. The other two will be a national high school student competition (something like an essay contest) and a series of student challenges that will take place in the AXP host cities when the competition vehicles roll into town.. Just FYI, there is also a Fuel Our Future website, and out of date site run by the Western States Biofuels Association.

No 2009 Saturn Astra – too many 2008 models still available
Auto Blog: Saturn , USA Vehicle models have different life spans in different countries, and Americans are used to having new – or at least refreshed – cars pretty much every few years. One model that the U.S. will not be getting new in 2009 is the Saturn Astra. The reason is that Saturn still has a 139-day supply of the 2008 models. Canada will still get a 2009 edition. The car hasn’t been a star seller, having found about 12,000 owners in the U.S. during 2008. GM is planning on resuming new Astra deliveries in late summer or early fall as a 2010 model , but is skipping the 2009 model year altogether. The Saturn Astra is based on the Opel/Vauxhall Astra and is built in GM’s plant in Antwerp, Belgium. GM blames the exchange rate between the Euro and the Dollar for the low sales, though we’re sure there are other factors at play, as well.
