Needless to say, after Iron Man and Sherlock Holmes, Robert Downey Jr is one of the best paid actors right now. But even though he can afford a chauffeur, the 47-year-old actor chose to use his own right foot to shift the stunning Acura NSX Roadster concept through the debut of the Avengers movie, which took place at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood.
He and his wife were seen in a convoy of other Acuras, the official Marvel movie car b...

IIHS Study: Child Seats too Hard to Install [Video]
According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), it’s not really your fault for not being able to safely and easily install a child seat. Out of 100 best selling vehicles they looked at, only under a quarter met their criteria for easy installment.
So automakers are actually to blame for making the Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) hard to use.

Volvo cuts European fleetwide emissions by 13% over past two years
Filed under: Diesel, EV/Plug-in, MPG, Volvo, Europe/EU
Volvo said it has cut its European fleetwide emissions from its gas- and diesel-powered vehicles by 13 percent during the past few years and is looking to reduce emissions even further starting next year.
For the 2013 model year, the Swedish automaker will debut a five-cylinder 2.0-liter, 136-horsepower turbodiesel engine - called the D3 - for its S60, V60, XC60, V70 and S80 models. All but the automatic-transmission XC60 crossover will have start-stop functionality.
Additionally, Volvo will also introduce a 115-horsepower diesel engine - the D2 - that will have the same emissions with both an automatic and manual transmissions, which Volvo says is a first.
Volvo is looking to use a combination of diesel technology and electric-drive powertrains to meet progressively more stringent European greenhouse-gas emissions. The company said in 2010 that, for the eight years ending in 2014, it will have sunk more than $2 billion in research and development specifically towards boosting fuel economy and reducing emissions.
Last June, Volvo debuted a battery-electric prototype version of its C30 with a 93-mile single-charge range and estimated that about 250 would be built by the end of this year for leasing to European customers. Volvo, which isn't selling the car, is charging about $2,100 a month for lessees the EVs.
