Porsche has traditionally put great emphasis on the efficiency of its cars, but the new flagship 911 will give a whole new meaning to its high performance label: while its acceleration, braking and handling capabilities make it a true super sports car, it will go about its business with a thriftiness that is equally remarkable and by no means the norm in its class.

Combining technological innovations with clear-cut refinement for an even greater dynamic driving experience, Porsche AG will present its new flagship, the new 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo at the Frankfurt Motor Show September 17-27, 2009 in both Coupe and Cabriolet form.

The U.S. Department of Energy today announced a grant for the largest deployment of electric vehicles (EVs) and charging infrastructure ever undertaken. Nissan (Nasdaq: NSANY) is supporting the lead grant applicant, Electric Transportation Engineering Corp. (eTec), by pledging to make available up to 1,000 Nissan LEAF zero-emission electric vehicles in each of five major markets. Nissan, through the Renault-Nissan Alliance, is committed to being a global leader in zero-emission vehicles.

The $99.8 million grant to eTec, which will be matched by regional project participants for a project valued at approximately $199.6 million, is for installation of approximately 2,500 charging stations in each of the selected markets - Tennessee, Oregon, San Diego, Seattle and the Phoenix/Tucson region. The project also involves the deployment of up to 1,000 Nissan LEAF zero-emission vehicles in each market.

Kelley Blue Book, www.kbb.com, the leading provider of new-car and used-car information, today announces an addition to its Cash for Clunkers Calculator on the company’s top-rated Web site, kbb.com. As the federal Car Allowance Rebate System (CARS) - the official government name of the Cash for Clunkers program - takes effect this week, the kbb.com Cash for Clunkers Calculator, which helps consumers determine if their current vehicle might be eligible for up to $4,500 toward the purchase of a more fuel-efficient new car, now connects consumers with dealers offering their best price on the qualifying new vehicle of choice.

Kbb.com provides a simple, interactive Cash for Clunkers Calculator that helps consumers evaluate vehicle model years 1989 to 2009 based on make, model and condition, and then determines whether they may be eligible for a credit under the CARS program. The age of the vehicle, its fuel economy and the fuel efficiency rating of the new car are key factors to determine whether the vehicle qualifies for a ‘Cash for Clunkers’ credit toward the purchase of a new vehicle. The calculator also displays the Kelley Blue Book(R) Trade-In Value, so that consumers can determine whether their vehicle is worth more or less than the possible credit they could receive from the CARS program.
