Kia shows brand new Cee'd

Kia has released an image of the next generation Cee'd, which has become a much more visually arresting sight.

The Cee'd has arguably underpinned Kia's rise to prominence over the last half a decade or so. It was Kia's first realistic crack at matching Europe's best hatchbacks like-for-like, and has provided a platform from which Kia has grown significantly, with a raft of stylish new models.

The latest versions of the Sorento 4×4, Rio supermini and Picanto city car are examples of the company's shifting emphasis on affordable style and quality.

This one will offer more of everything, obviously. Kia keeps calling it the "sophisticated new Cee'd" – not sophisticated enough to drop the superfluous apostrophe in the name though, sadly.

More sophistication suggests improved cabin quality and refinement, and a greater emphasis on technology.

Kia is saying nothing, though, so we'll have to wait until its official debut at the Geneva Motor Show for full details. We do know it will go on sale in the UK in June 2012, however.

Volkswagen renunţă la fuziunea cu Porsche şi vrea să cumpere divizia de maşini sport a companiei

Fuziunea planificată între Volkswagen şi Porsche "nu este posibilă" din cauza mulţimii de probleme legislative, iar grupul intenţionează să-şi exercite în schimb opţiunea de a cumpăra divizia care produce maşinile sport Porsche, a declarat directorul general al Volkswagen, Martin Winterkorn.

Winterkorn conduce atât de Volkswagen, cât şi Porsche.

Iniţial, Porsche a dorit să preia grupul Volkswagen, mult mai mare, însă încercarea a eşuat după ce accesul la credite a fost blocat din cauza crizei financiare. Conducerea Porsche şi-a dat demisia, iar compania a fost nevoit să accepte o fuziune sub conducerea Volkswagen.

Cei doi producători auto au convenit în septembrie să întârzie planul de fuziune din cauza contestaţiilor în justiţie şi să caute soluţii alternative.

Iniţial, Volkswagen şi Porsche vroiau să obţină aprobarea acţionarilor până la sfârşitul anului 2012.

În prezent sunt analizate opţiunile de a fuziona cele două companii fără holdingul care controlează Porsche, a spus Winterkorn, prezent la Salonul Auto de la Detroit, citat de Wall Street Journal.

Un grup de fonduri internaţionale de investiţii a declanşat un proces împotriva Porsche în Germania la sfârşitul anului trecut, pentru a recupera pierderi de circa 2 miliarde de euro legate de tentativa de a prelua Volkswagen. Alte procese similare au fost intentate tot în Germania sau în alte ţări.

Volkswagen are opţiunea de a achiziţiona 50,1% din acţiunile diviziei auto Porsche AG, pe care nu le deţine încă, iar dacă ar cumpăra acest pachet de acţiuni firma holding prin care este controlată compania Porsche ar rămâne o entitate separată.

Orange opens two new stores in Madrid

On December 2, in line with its policy to open "very large stores" in several countries where it operates (France, Romania, etc.), Orange inaugurated two new stores in the heart of Madrid, at two of the city's most emblematic locations: Puerta del Sol and Gran Vía. 

These two new stores, designed to become the showcases for Orange in Spain, required an investment of over one million euros, creating around 30 new jobs. 

Thanks to their relatively large sales areas (216 and 330 square meters), the two new stores include an exhibition area where visitors can interact and familiarize themselves with Orange products, from fixed to mobile and the internet. 

New environments have also been developed, offering users the possibility to experience Orange's products and services in a different way, thanks in particular to the informative multimedia content made available, enabling visitors to find out information within a simple and attractive framework.

The aim with these two new stores is to offer customers and visitors an enhanced experience, where they can get closer to new technologies, in a pleasant, user-friendly and easy-to-understand setting. Lastly, within this approach, the sales staff have an essential role in terms of establishing more personalized relationships with customers.
