Brucie is loving and loyal which makes it so heartbreaking that he’s been in kennels for 6 long years. He’d like a home where he’ll have someone around a fair amount of time to give him lots and lots of cuddles to make up for lost time.
Scampie is an entertaining, cheeky little lad who has sadly been waiting over a year for a new home. He’ll make a lovely companion to a terrier-loving owner, although he wouldn’t want to be a lap-dog! He loves to have a little sunbathe and enjoys 2 sho…

Although it will be officially unveiled at the Paris Motor Show next month, Kia released a scant few details about its electric Pop concept car today, along with some pictures.
What do seats and charging stations have in common? Very little, except that automotive seat supply giant, Lear, has been chosen by GM to supply the home charging stations and some key parts for the Chevrolet Volt.
Although Lear is best known as a car seat supplier, the Southfield, Michigan, based company says they’ve realized how important it is to get in on the electric car supply chain early on in the process. And, instead of GM going with an electronics supply company for the chargers and parts, GM chose to go with a company that may not have the electronics history, but does have a great deal of experience in the automotive realm.
To GM it seems that knowledge and experience in the auto world holds more water than a lengthy experience in electronics when it comes to the new world of plug-in vehicles.

Mercedes’ S400 hybrid luxury sedan has received a lot of attention this month after a Canadian market study of 16 hybrids singled out the big Benz as the “only” cost-effective hybrid option on the market. Let’s face facts, though: the S400’s clients are less interested in what’s cost-effective, and more interested in what they’re being asked to sacrifice (in terms of luxury) in order to greenwash their driveways. I was curious, too, and when a showroom-fresh S400 made itself available, I jumped at the chance to poke around and see what was what.
How does Mercedes’ S400 hybrid stack up against its more conventional, V8-powered brothers? Find out, after the jump.
The Nissan LEAF is one hot ticket. From hand-raisers to pre-orderers, just about everybody wants to get their hands on a Nissan LEAF. Who can blame them? It will be the first mass-market electric vehicle with an affordable price and practicality to boot. Nissan wants to sell these things en masse too, but at least at launch, numbers will be extremely limited… especially in the U.S.
That is because Nissan has decided on a January launch for the LEAF in Japan. To keep up with orders over there, Nissan is cutting the expected U.S. shipment by 2/3, from 10,000 cars to just 3,300.

The Nikon s1100pj digital camera looks like a standard-issue point and shoot, save one difference: it’s got what appears to be a second lens on the front. But that’s no normal lens: it’s a projector.
