Report: VW outsells GM in China for first time in 8 years

Filed under: , , , , ,



In case you didn't know, Volkswagen is hell-bent on becoming the largest automaker in the world. The German carmaker has inched closer to that goal, having outsold General Motors in China last quarter for the first time in eight years.

Volkswagen's sales in China, its largest marker, increased by 21 percent last quarter to 704,991 units. Those numbers almost tripled GM's third-quarter growth, and were enough to beat out the American automaker's 664,765 sales. GM, however, still leads in year-to-date sales in China by a slim margin of around 77,000 units. The Asian nation also happens to be GM's largest market, and according to the report in Automotive News, China's car market may grow to be larger than the US, Japan and Germany combined in three years' time.

About the news his company was bested in China by VW last quarter, GM CEO Dan Akerson is quoted saying, "It's not whether you're the biggest car manufacturer. It's whether you want to be the most profitable." It should be noted of these figures that GM includes truck figures, yet excludes Hong Kong and Macau from its Chinese sales numbers, while VW does just the opposite. Through September of this year, Volkswagen had 5 of the 10 best selling vehicles in China. GM boasted three of the cars on that list.

One car not on China's Top 10 list is the Malibu. Though GM's second-best selling car in the US, it has been called a "disaster" by Lin Huaibin of IHS Global Insight. The roughly 29,000 units sold were apparently unable to hang with VW's Skoda competitor.

The Automotive News report cites anti-Japanese sentiments and older GM product as reasons for Volkswagen's third quarter rally. Other brands with increased sales included Hyundai, Kia and Ford, citing that the jump in sales for these brands helped their parent companies counter losses incurred in the beleaguered European car market.

The Re-Education Of Me: Mind, Body, Spirit Connection

"Body, Mind, Spirit" is not some far-out thing only attained by 8 hours of meditation a day, hours of intense Yoga, or starting to dress like your Guru. It is our innate way of being. Sometime in the early 1900's, societies moved us away from this natural state of being by making a creating a "split" or division of who we are as humans. The mind went to the government in the form of state education, body to scientific/medical realm (Doctors etc.,) and the spirit to organized religion - our churches. And so our inner split happened. Let's address all three areas.

Motor Trend suggests Tesla Model S may be most important new car since Ford Model T

Filed under: , ,

2013 Tesla Model S in silver - front three-quarter view. Motor Trend Ignition video screencap.

"It may very well be the most important new car since the Model T."

That's the summation of the latest video from Motor Trend and its Ignition video series, speaking of the Tesla Model S. Though the buff site had previously released a video featuring a range-testing excursion from LA-to-Vegas (and back), this time its cameras were out to capture whether it proves its worth as a car.

For MT's Carlos Lago, the criteria involved in the equation includes important things like, "How fast is it, how fun is it to drive." And while he does spend some tire-smoking time testing the five-door hatchback's performance parameters, the approach overall is more holistic than some we've seen.

Adding up the performance, style, technology and price, Lago compares the Tesla favorably with the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and Porsche Panamera. He says it feels "like car 3.0." It all kind of gives us hope our favorite fastback will come out on top when MT reveals its Car Of The Year sometime in November.

Scroll down to watch one of the best-looking Model S video reviews to date, and let us know in Comments if you agree with its conclusions.

On Sept. 15, 2008, Barack Obama was behind in the polls, caught off balance by the Sarah Palin selection and in trouble for the first time since his nomination. Then the financial collapse blindsided his rival, caused a huge civil war in the Republican Party, and dropped the presidency into his lap.It wasn't the first time blind luck seemed to help Obama. When he ran for the Senate, his two serious rivals were sidelined by scandals that broke at the just the right moment, leaving him to cruise in against a far-right ranter (Alan Keyes) who had been brought in as desperate measure from...

Next From Box: Embedding Storage In Your Apps

Here?s a question you may never have thought to ask:  When you?re using an application that?s in the cloud to begin with, why is it up to you to save your documents - especially if you?re saving them to the cloud anyway?  With Box?s latest update, your cloud app saves directly to your cloud storage.

If the programs you run on your device aren?t installed there locally, and the system on which you store the documents for those programs isn?t local either, then why is saving documents a manual act?  Put another way, why do you have to ?click Save??  Shouldn?t your program know how to save? Maybe you?re thinking the answer is, ?Because I have to name my file at some point.?  Well, consider the pointlessness of that act, too, if the app knew the context of your documents by their contents anyway. (If, for instance, it could tell the title of your paper by looking at the first line.)

Saving To The Cloud

Saving to the cloud has quickly become a market in itself. So there?s been a land rush among Dropbox, Box (formerly Box.net), Microsoft SkyDrive, Apple iCloud, Google Drive and some others to stake their claims to automating the Save command. Granted, Google and Microsoft may have a built-in advantage in this regard, but Box is playing the role of ?sooner? in this land rush. Box has begun working with Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) providers to embed storage and document saving functions directly into their apps, bypassing the manual click altogether.

The fruit of their labor is something called Box Embed. Essentially, it?s an interface for allowing applications to access customers Box storage and also their Box functions, such as file preview and task management, inside of SaaS applications so that they appear on the client side.

Last March, Box was working to integrate aspects of operating systems into its ecosystem, including a desktop for launching apps from multiple devices. Box Embed is essentially along those same lines: Just as Windows and Mac desktop applications rely on the Load and Save functions of their respective operating system, a SaaS service that uses Box Embed will rely on the Load and Save functions of Box.

Can Box Pry Away SaaS Storage Customers?

There?s one extra benefit in this for Box, at least potentially: It could pry some customers loose from the built-in, exclusive storage that SaaS providers employ.

?In many cases, you see cloud products requiring that you load content into their cloud,? notes Chris Yeh, Box?s platform vice president. He cites an example of a Salesforce user who?s working with a prospective customer, and needs to load several items of sales collateral. With Salesforce, he says, you have to load that material from the service?s own content store.

?You?ve got files in Salesforce?s cloud, then you?ve got files in NetSuite, and some more content sitting in Workday.  The idea for us was to find a way to use Box as the cloud file system, if you will, and embed that ? where possible ? in these third-party applications.?

If a desktop application can make its operating system create convenient, personal folders for its user, then the cloud-based counterpart should be able to do the same. NetSuite (above) is one of two SaaS applications that is already enabling Box Embed (the other is SugarCRM, below). As Yeh explains it, the automated configuration process for Box on NetSuite actually peruses customer records and generates a folder structure in Box storage for customers by name. Then the existing tagging system is used to flag these customer folders for NetSuite, so that those tagged folders may be shown in NetSuite as though they were NetSuite?s own attached storage.

What Box Embed is not - at least not yet - is an interoperability or cloud integration system. It appears Box could be reserving a niche for itself in this space, perhaps someday competing with services like Informatica that encourage customers to share their own scripts for converting formats and schemas from one service?s database to another.

Box Integration 

?In the past, if you were to take two systems of record and get them integrated,? says Yeh, ?there were a certain number of paths.  You could build a custom integration where you?d take data out of one database and move it into another, in some form. You?d do that with a big systems integration: It was a lot of work, and super-costly. Another would be, you?d go through an integration tool like TIBCO, where when you moved data from one system to another, you?d put it on a third-party integration product, and have it be placed onto another system of record, so data was oftentimes duplicated.?

These types of integration, Yeh continues, pre-date the advent of apps run through the browser, where user interface components are not only easily generated, but readily shared. It becomes an almost academic matter, then, to make the user interface components of one app appear in the context of another.

?So in this particular case, NetSuite is creating a place for us to run - it?s an IFRAME - and what we?re doing is putting a version of Box into that IFRAME which is contextually set up correctly to match the customer records.?

It?s integration in one sense ? enabling a unified cloud storage structure that?s automatically configured to fit the context of SaaS applications. It?s not integration in the TIBCO or Informatica sense, where the data becomes interoperable from that central location.  But Chris Yeh leaves that matter open for future exploration - and the last time Box left something open for exploration, we didn?t have to wait all that long.

If Box makes itself the preferred storage system for work, since its storage agents would already be on your devices, the likelihood you?ll use Box for your personal applications also instead of the others also rises.
