2009 Cadillac Escalade Hybrid :


The Cadillac Escalade Hybrid uses the exact same 2-Mode hybrid powertrain as both the Yukon and Tahoe hybrids. Unlike its platform cousins, however, the Escalade does not incorporate any weight-saving measures. It does incorporate Hybrid badges in the fender vents and "H" logos by the rear windows.


With its hybrid power train, the 2009 Cadillac Escalade Hybrid turns in good fuel economy for such a heavy vehicle without compromising performance.


Audio sources are limited in the Escalade Hybrid, with no iPod integration available.

The new tariff will be a SIM only deal and will offer unlimited calls, unlimited texts and unlimited data for £30 per month.

Apple rejected Google Voice from the App Store :

Google Voice won’t be making an appearance on iPhones any time soon after Apple rejected it from the App Store. The reasoning behind the decision was that it duplicated existing functionality i.e. making calls, etc. It’s certainly a blow for iPhone users given that Android and Blackberry users can both use Google Voice.


Apple has developed a reputation for not allowing apps that it deems either unsuitable or in competition with its own services so Spotify and Google Voice may have a hard time overcoming Apple’s reservations.

Hilary Duff Teams Up with Penn Badgley :

Continuing to film scenes for her string of guest appearances on the upcoming season of “Gossip Girl,” Hilary Duff was spotted on the New York City set.


The “So Yesterday” songstress looked fit and fine in a white top with white belted jeans and black peep-toe ankle boots as she chatted up costar Penn Badgley .


Wearing a cream top, Duff shunned the fans who screamed their greetings and well wishes, Hilary strode with a large bodyguard from her trailer to the set, refusing to look up, make eye...


During the course of her stay on the hit CW show, Hilary plays a movie star who enrolls at New York University in search of a normal college experience.

And in the process, she develops a keen interest in Badgley's character Dan. It sounds like a recipe for plenty of drama this fall.

Volkswagen Passat CC :

The Volkswagen Passat CC (also known as the Volkswagen CC in the United States)[1] is a 4-door coupé version of the Volkswagen Passat. It debuted in January 2008 at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.


The Passat has been a relative success for Volkswagen in the U.S., but the company is already hard at work on a New Midsize (or mid-market) Sedan, not-so-cleverly codenamed NMS, to replace it. The final design has already been approved - prototypes were shown to dealers in Wolfsburg this week.

In the 2009 Volkwagen CC commercial in the United States, the CC passengers are aware of the floating letters and voice-overs, and of being in a car commercial. The commercial is partially voiced by a Beetle.



Technical Data :

The car rests on a 2711 mm (106.7 in) wheelbase and is, for the time being, available with a 1.8-litre TFSI inline-four (118 kW (160 PS; 158 hp)) or a 2.0-litre inline-four TDI engine, both with front-wheel drive and 6-speed manual, or with a 3.6-litre VR6 engine (220 kW (299 PS; 295 hp)) with 4motion four-wheel drive and a 6-speed twin-clutch Direct-Shift Gearbox (DSG).




Step inside the CC and after you’ve rubbed your head better — you will bang it the first time, because the roofline is lower than you were expecting — you will note that all is well. Better than well. In the base models, everything is a bit dreary, a bit public convenience, only without George Michael to liven things up, but in the car I drove, it was all brushed aluminium and ivory leather and splashes of chrome.





When the Passat CC goes on sale later this year, it will be fitted with the 3.6-liter FSI V6 making around 300 hp, along with three selectable chassis control systems, spanning the range from Sport to Normal and Comfort. In addition to a host of electronic gizmos, Volkswagen will begin offering its own version of the utterly sucktastic Park Assist feature on the CC, similar to the system used on the Lexus LS460.
