What Car? News
Premium sound systems for all
Car audio specialist JBL says all cars will eventually have sound systems of the quality that only premium cars currently have.
The start, says JBL, is its MS-8 System Integration Digital Processor. It boosts the quality of your car's current system without having to add amplifiers or speakers.
'Eventually, this will be in all cars,' predicted Mark Hockey of JBL's parent company Harman UK.
The MS-8 optimises sound for up to eight channels, while its digital signal processing (DSP) equalisation and correction automatically improve the stereo's sound and compensate for the characteristics of the car's speakers, electronics and interior.
When the system is set up, it automatically optimises the sound for up to four seating positions inside the car, so the sound hits your ears at exactly same time no matter where you are sitting.
The MS-8 is not cheap, costing around £600, and it's recommended that a professional installer fits the MS-8 as it can take three hours to install. However it is certainly cheaper than buying a premium sound system.
The MS-8 will be followed by a smaller cheaper model. Called the MS-4, it will cost around £350 and is on sale next March.
The product line up will be completed with a Pocket DSP that requires no special installation â users will simply plug it in to the car's AV socket. It will cost less than £200.

Renault face-lifts the Laguna
These are the first photos of the face-lifted Renault Laguna, which will be officially unveiled at the Paris motor show at the end of this month.
The most obvious changes are at the front end, where both the hatchback and Sport Tourer models (but not the Coupe, which remains unchanged) get revised headlights and bumpers, with a new design of grille below the numberplate.
More efficient engines
Along with the cosmetic surgery, all the engines have been revised to meet Euro V regulations, with the result that emissions have dropped across the entire range. In the hatchback, the 1.5 dCi 110 engine now emits just 120g/km of CO2, 10g/km less than before.
In the UK, three trims will be available â Expression, Dynamique and GT Line â with the companyâs 4Control system available on models with the 2.0 dCi 180 engine.
This allows the rear wheels to turn slightly, with the angle and direction depending on the circumstances. The company says it gives better manoeuvrability at low speeds, increased stability at high speeds, and more safety in an emergency.
Prices for the revised models will be announced in mid-October, with the car going on sale in November.

Chevrolet Cruze hatchback revealed
Chevrolet has revealed the first photographs of a new hatchback version of the Cruze.
It will be unveiled at the Paris motor show at the end of this month, and the five-door car will join the existing four-door saloon in Chevrolet showrooms in the middle of next year.
Although the two models look similar, the hatchback stands out from the saloon with its coupe-like roofline.
The range of engines and trims will mirror that of the saloon, although the new hatchback will be launched with Euro V-compliant engines, which will find their way into the saloon in due course.
Exact details of the car and its specifications will be confirmed nearer its on-sale date, so there is no confirmation of whether every detail of the show car â such as the LED running lights in the front bumper â will appear on the production car.
The company has confirmed that the five-door, five-seat car will have a 400-litre boot (50 litres less than the saloon), with 60/40 split-folding rear seats.
The Cruze hatchback will be one of four Chevrolet world premieres at Paris. The company will also unveil the Orlando MPV, the new Aveo supermini, and a revised version of the Captiva 4x4.

Celebs a bad influence on young drivers
Reckless celebrities are setting a bad example to young drivers, according to a new report.
The Autoglass survey claims the increasing amount of celebrities and sports stars â such as England footballers Ashley Cole and Joe Cole â being brought before the court to answer speeding charges is having a negative effect on young drivers who look upon them as role models.
There was more bad news for younger drivers, with 68% of those questioned calling for tougher penalties for those caught speeding. Half of respondents also want young drivers who break motoring laws to be forced to retake their driving test.
Other results of the survey included
• 32% wanted an instant ban for young drivers who break the law
• 67% said teens should be restricted to small-capacity engines
• 60% wanted youngsters to display a P-plate for 12 months after passing their test
• 23% called for a night-time ban on young drivers
