FIAT Bugster – environmentally friendly fun

While most cars designed to protect the environment look, at best, well-meaning, at worst, plain dull, the FIAT Bugster is designed to make saving the planet outrageous fun. As might be expected when a group of Brazilians and Italians, two countries not renowned for their wall-flower tendencies, got together to produce a car under the “Environment and Fun” banner they came up with the FIAT

Original Batmobile Spotted at Car Wash?

It’s no secret that Southern California is home to one of the best car cultures in the world. You can find a cruise or car show pretty much any day of the year, and it’s always amazing to see the vehicles that show up.

The 2011 Audi A3 ranks 2 out of 8 Upscale Small Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of 99 published reviews and test drives of the Audi A3, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.

The 2011 Audi A3 has a lot to offer: a TDI trim with impressive fuel economy, fun driving dynamics and a well-crafted interior. The A3’s most intimidating feature is its price.

The automotive press can’t deny that the 2011 Audi A3 is a good car. It has a winning combination of quality, sportiness and attractive styling that is a rarity for small car shoppers. The A3 is also one of the safest small cars on the market. In fact, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety named last year’s A3 a “Top Safety Pick.” With no significant changes for 2011, the designation should stick.

In addition to top safety ratings, sporty performance and high quality, Audi offers an optional TDI diesel engine to the mix. The diesel’s fuel economy is impressive, and drivers should expect to average 30 mpg in the city and 42 mpg on the highway -- figures other upscale small cars can’t match.

Despite these strong points, reviewers say the A3’s price tag makes its performance capabilities and high-quality fit and finish less attractive. The base A3 starts at $27,270, and the base TDI is an additional $2,980. Consumers willing to pay nearly $30,000, however, won’t be disappointed.

Other Cars to Consider

If you can live without Audi’s prestige and performance, there are many less expensive choices that won’t make you feel like you’re settling for less. The Volkswagen GTI is about $4,000 less and is zippier. Reviewers even say the GTI’s interior could be mistaken for an Audi’s.

About $3,000 less than the A3, the Volvo C30 will appeal to shoppers looking for an eye-catcher. The C30 is modern and muscular with a unique elongated glass hatchback door. While the C30 looks good, it doesn’t perform as well as the Volkswagen GTI or Audi A3. Plus, the C30 can’t stow much with only 12.9 cubic feet of cargo space.

Those looking for a car with German roots and available diesel power should check out the Volkswagen Jetta. It’s not ranked as an Upscale Small Car, but it is German, has a bunch of trunk space (16 cubic feet) and with a base price of $15,995 for the 2011 model, there’s plenty of room for customization. The Jetta also has a TDI option that’s cheaper than the base A3. Pricing for the 2011 Jetta TDI isn’t available yet, but the 2010 TDI was $22,830. If upscale options found in the A3 -- such as a navigation system, sun roof and rear side airbags -- are added, buyers will pay $27,820 (with the automatic transmission), which is only a few hundred dollars more than the base gasoline Audi A3. In comparison, the A3 TDI with the same options is $33,650 -- or $5,830 more. Another reason to buy the Jetta TDI over the A3 TDI: the A3 and Jetta have the same engine.

Still, shoppers who know they want an A3 should look into the 2010 gas and diesel options, which are practically identical to the 2011. Dealers need to clear 2010 stock, so there are many good deals to be had. Check our Audi listings to see the average price paid in your area.

Merapi 2 Kali Keluarkan Letusan Sekunder, BPPTK Minta Warga Tidak Panik

Merapi 2 Kali Keluarkan Letusan Sekunder, BPPTK Minta Warga Tidak Panik
Parwito - detikNews



Magelang - Gunung Merapi kembali mengeluarkan letusanya. Letusan ini sudah terjadi sebanyak dua kali berturut-turut selama dua hari ini.

Letusan pertama pada pada Senin (31/1) malam pukul 24.00, letusan kedua pada Selasa (1/2) sore ini sekitar pukul 15.10 WIB.

Diduga letusan tersebut diakibatkan hujan yang terjadi di puncak Gunung Merapi yang dua hari terakhir kondisi cuaca mendung menyelimuti wilayah Magelang, Jawa Tengah.

"Saya mendengar Gunung Merapi kembali meletus tadi sore (kemarin). Mungkin itu disebabkan letusan sekunder," ujar anggota Tim SAR Kabupaten Magelang Hendry alias Mas Heng kepada detikcom Selasa(1/2/2011) melalui ponsel.

Menanggap hal ini, Kepala Balai Penyelidikan dan Pengembangan Teknologi Kegunungapian (BPPTK) Yogyakarta Subandriyo menyatakan material vulkanik panas yang ada di lereng Gunung Merapi sangat banyak. Hal ini memungkinkan munculnya letusan sekunder.

Menurut Subandriyo letusan sekunder ini bisa terjadi karena timbunan material vulkanik yang panas terkena air hujan dengan intensitas tinggi.

Namun ia menegaskan bahwa letusan sekunder bersifat lokal dan tidak membahayakan masyarakat yang tinggal di sekitar lereng merapi.

Dikatakan Subandriyo, ketebalan material vulkanik sudah dideteksi karena lokasi yang sulit dijangkau. Namun demikian berdasarkan analisa BPPTK ketebalan material vulkanik bisa mencapai puluhan meter.

"Di kawasan lembah-lembah Merapi material vulkanik bisa menumpuk puluhan meter. Material tersebut juga sangat panas karena suhunya bisa mencapai ratusan derajat celcius," jelas Subandriyo.

BPPTK juga menerima sinyal dari seismograf yang dipasang di Gunung Merapi pada Selasa (1/2). Sinyal ini bisa pertanda ada letusan sekunder namun bisa juga berarti ada gempa vulkanik.

"Kami belum pastikan apakah letusan sekunder atau gempa vulkanik," terang Subandriyo.

Subandriyo meminta masyarakat tidak perlu panik karena letusan sekunder merupakan peristiwa yang wajar dan terjadi di lereng Merapi yang jauh dari permukiman penduduk.

Warga Magelang Mengaku Lihat 2 Crop Circle Tahun 70-an

Warga Magelang Mengaku Lihat 2 Crop Circle Tahun 70-an
Parwito - detikNews



Jakarta - Crop circle di Sleman dan Magelang bukanlah fenomena pertama yang terjadi di Indonesia. Setidaknya begitulah pengakuan Dimyati (50), warga Magelang. Dia mengaku melihat 2 pola lingkaran misterius itu pada tahun 1970-an.

"Dulu ada sekitar tahun 70-an. Waktu itu saya masih berumur 21 tahun," kata warga Dusun Kumbangan, Desa Banyu Sari, Kecamatan Tegalrejo, Kabupateng Magelang, Jawa Tengah, inisaat ditemui detikcom di rumahnya, Selasa (1/2/2011). Warga setempat menyebut crop circle sebagai "lingkaran aneh."

Menurut Dimyati, saat itu memang tidak ada media yang menyorot keberadaan crop circle. Sang pemilik sawah kala itu juga bersembunyi dari incaran media dan polisi karena takut. "Dulu nggak banyak media sehingga warga desa nggak berbondong-bondong seperti sekarang ini," cerita Dimyati.

Kala itu ada dua crop circle ditemukan di dua tempat berbeda. Satunya ditemukan di Dusun Banyu Urip, Desa Banyu Urip, Kecamatan Tegalrejo. Dusun ini kira berjarak 4 km dari crop circle yang sekarang ditemukan. Crop circle yang ada di dusun ini berbentuk lingkaran.

Kemudian crop circle kedua ditemukan di Dusun Ngencek, Desa Krinjing, Kecamatan Secang. Berbeda dengan yang pertama, crop circle ini berbentuk segitiga.

Sementara itu, Irfan, santri Ponpes Hidayatul Muhtadin mengaku masih melihat sawah dalam keadaan utuh pada Jumat (28/1) malam.

Saat itu Irfan sengaja ke sungai untuk mengecek lele milik Ponpesnya. Irfan merupakan orang yang dipercaya untuk mengurus lele-lele tersebut. Irfan berjalan melewati sawah menuju sungai tersebut.

"Saya di sana sampai pukul 19.00 WIB. Kemudian balik lagi ke pondok dan mengaji sampai pukul 23.00 WIB. Habis ngaji saya belik lagi lihat lele," ujarnya.

Namun menurut Irfan, sekitar pukul 23.30 WIB, tiba-tiba ada angin kencang. Angin kencang ini merobohkan batang pohon yang ada di sekitar sungai. Sekitar 30 menit akhirnya angin ini berhenti.

"Malam itu nggak biasanya saya takut sampai merinding. Saya langsung lari ke pondok dan cerita sama teman-teman ada angin kencang. Tapi teman-teman bilang itu hanya angin biasa," jelasnya.

Irfan mengira kemungkinan crop circle tersebut terbentuk sekitar pukul 23.30 WIB hingga pukul 07.00 WIB keesokan harinya. Karena Sabtu (29/1) sekitar pukul 07.00 WIB, Irfan dan temannya, Muhaimin, pergi ke sawah untuk menanam cabai. Tapi sesampainya di sawah, keduanya langsung terkejut melihat bentuk sawah sudah tidak seperti semula. Sudah ada 5 lingkaran di sawah tersebut.

"Pas itu tidak ada satu pun orang yang masuk persawahan. Tidak ada bekas kaki manusia juga," kata warga asli Dusun Mojotengah Desa Mojotengah Kecamatan Krasak, Kabupaten Wonosobo, ini.

Irfan mengaku setelah melihat ada crop circle di sawah tersebut bersembunyi beberapa hari. Pemuda 24 tahun itu takut diperiksa polisi terkait hal ini.

Pantauan detikcom di lokasi sekitar pukul 12.00 WIB, police line sudah dibuka sejak kemarin. Namun warga mengganti police line tersebut dengan tali rafia agar warga tidak memasuki area crop circle.
