A Spark to light up GM India? Or will it immolate? Autos Articles | August 6 http://www.cheaponlineadidasshoes.com/ , 2007 When you are a small volume player, features should be the marketing weapon and the Spark has plenty of them, including the segment's first 3-yr. 100,000 kms warranty.
I was at the launch of the Chevrolet Spark yesterday. It's a good car, perhaps the most credible and promising product to have come out of GM India ever. The looks are smart and cute and the specs are promising. GM guys seemed to be gung-ho about the product.
So how important is the Spark for GM India? The importance can be gauged from the fact that GM flew in a plane-load of top guys from Detroit for the launch, including the likes of Rick Wagoner and Nick Reilly. The usage of words like ?critical? and ?first priority? to describe the Spark's importance to GM India should be enough indicators that the Spark is the last weapon Cheap Adidas Shoes Store , for a while, in GM's Indian arsenal.
And for the first time GM is not afraid to fight it out on pricing. The Spark starts at INR 309,000, though the air conditioning starts only at INR 332,000 and the top-of-the-line variant comes in at INR 424,000.
However Cheap Adidas Shoes From China , GM's idea of comparing spare part costs and using it as a marketing weapon causes a squiggle in my stomach. It's like Kinetic, LML and TVS using price as a weapon in the 100cc wars. They can't take on a Hero Honda or Bajaj in component prices as costs will be in proportion to volumes.
GM's statistical proof ? they have an elaborate chart comparing the Spark with the Wagon R, Snatro and Estilo ? that the Spark is cheaper to maintain falls flat on a few points. The most apparent and worrying is the aspect of service intervals ? the Spark needs to see the doctors after every 5,000 kms (a weak point surprisingly touted as strength by Nick Reilly) as compared to the Estilo and Wagon R's 10,000 kms service interval.
The Spark has been launched one year before preparations were completed. GM's new Indian plant ? meant for the Spark ? is far from complete and will go on steam in mid-2008 only. Meanwhile, the Spark will be manufactured at GM's existing Halol facility which has a monthly capacity of 7 Cheap Adidas Shoes Outlet ,000 units. With the remaining GM models already accounting for 4500 units, this leaves only 2,500 units for the Spark. Not something that will worry the competition in a segment where the best seller sold more than 200,000 units last year.

Sunglasses are helpful for keeping the sun's glare out of your eyes, especially if you are playing an outdoor sport like golf. Designer eyeglasses and sunglasses need to be chosen carefully, as you will be wearing them for a long time. There are many factors you need to take in consideration- such as ultraviolet light, polarization, and the glass color.

Light bounces in many directions before it reaches your eyes. Glare from different reflective surfaces can harm your eyes. Polarized lenses only permit vertical light rays to reach your eyes Cheap Adidas Shoes Online , not horizontal ones. Try them on to see whether they suit you.
If you want colored lenses, check out how the color that you choose impacts contrast, depth perception, and clarity. Stylish sunglasses should be chosen if you value fashion. Pick a pair which suits your face and matches your personality.
In case you plan to gift a pair of sunglasses, pick a pair that is in keeping with the recipient's taste. Check whether the store allows returns. Set a budget and try to stick to it. A lightweight pair of glasses will not leave marks on your nose.
Pick a pair which is comfortable to wear, especially if you need to wear them all day. If your work involves looking at a computer screen Cheap Adidas Shoes , choose a pair which is suitable. Take good care of your glasses. Clean them everyday with a soft cloth.

Call ahead for an appointment in case you also need an eye test. Think of taking a friend along for advice on which pair you are looking the coolest in.

Summary: The top educators in most English-speaking countries have waged a relentless war against Flesch. His crime: being correct about reading. Their crime: being comfortable with illiteracy.
Rudolph Flesch wrote two famous books, "Why Johnny Can't Read" (1955) and "Why Johnny STILL Can't Read" (1981). I read both books twice, years apart, and had the sense that Flesch was intelligent and honorable. (My reviews of these books are on Amazon.)
