After sitting around and wishing I knew how to play the guitar, I've finally decided to just go ahead and learn. I’m not new to music by any means, I've been playing violin and piano since I was 5 years old (I'm now 24) and have been in some light touch with the guitar. My biggest problem now is where to start. I also understand that there are two different types of acoustic guitars: steel-string and classical. I'd actually like to learn a bit of both...to be able to play some classical guitar (John Williams blows me away) along with some more light-hearted Jack Johnson-type stuff. I plan on taking some online lessons to help get me started and want to have a source that can match all the needs I want like learning all the chords,. I just don’t it to be over soon, but practice with daily lessons. Suggest me something that I can look upon …… Sorry for the long post and thanks for your help!

The Chevrolet Malibu has only been on the market for six months, but the mid-size sedan is about to receive a major update. On April 24th, General Motors will finally launch a four-cylinder six-speed automatic version of the Malibu. The range-toping LTZ and up level 2LT models will come standard with the powertrain, while the Malibu 1LT will offer the setup as an option. According to General Motors, the addition of the six-speed automatic transmission will improve the Malibu's fuel mileage by 2 mpg, bumping its EPA ratings to 22/32 city/highway. "With this new model, the Malibu lineup offers an unmatched range of powertrains, technology and amenities," Chevrolet head Ed Peper said. According to Automotive News, Malibus sales are currently split 40 percent four-cylinder and 60 percent six-cylinder, but the new powertrain is expected to shift the mix to 30/70. Helping to achieve that mix, the new powertrain will retail for $1,200 less than a comparably equipped V6 Malibu. Source: Left Lane News ______________________ Truck Parts

Scion — Toyota's youth brand — took the wraps off of its latest concept Wednesday at the New York Auto Show. Dubbed the Hako Coupe, the concept was designed by Scion's Tokyo Design Division and is intended to reflect "youth-inspired trends." The Hako Coupe's shape is unmistakably Scion, but its unusual design will no doubt have a polarizing effect. According to Jack Hollis, Scion vice president, the Hako Concept's look is supposed to be that of a "sporty version of a box." Maybe Hollis confused ugly with sporty. The front of the car is highlighted — if you can call it that — by LED headlights, a large upper grille and smaller lower grille. In profile, the Hako Coupe has shape similar to that of an armored truck. Outback, the concept features LED taillights and backup lights integrated into the car's exhaust. The Hako Coupe's roof is comprised of a barcode pattern, but Scion execs say one day you might be able to chose the roof's display — from messages to images. Inside, the Hako Concept has a design theme inspired by gaming, and uses many rubber materials for easy cleaning. LCD monitors are integrated into the concept's front head rests. A Bluetooth connection allows music or video files to be uploaded to the Scion’s entertainment system, which is comprised of two video monitors on the dash, with a centrally-mounted roller-ball acting as the interface. There are more screens on each doors and in the rear side walls displaying images from a-pillar mounted cameras that point outside. Scion remains open-minded about building or redesigning the Hako. “We'll listen to the feedback from this concept to help us determine how our brand could evolve and grow over the next five years," said Hollis. There have been rumors that the Hako Coupe could replace the Scion xA, but we hope they stay just as that — rumors. Source: Left Lane News ____________________________ Truck Parts

With new CAFE regulations and ever-rising fuel prices, it won't be long until every automaker has at least a few diesel-powered models in their lineup. But the first push into the clean-diesel market will be lead by the German brands, and it doesn't look like we will have to wait long for them to arrive in the U.S. According to BMW Blog, the BMW 335d and the X5 xDrive35d should be hitting U.S. shores in mid-October. Both models will be powered by BMW's 3.0L twin-turbocharged inline six — producing 265 horsepower and 425 lb-ft of torque — and should be atop their respective segments in both fuel-economy and performance. The diesel-powered 535d will also be sold in the U.S., but its on-sale date still remains unclear. However, prototypes have been seen testing in Michigan, indicating that it shouldn't be far behind the other diesel offerings from BMW. Source: Left Lane News ________________________ Truck Parts

Although the front of the concept looks familiar as it has themes from the Aero X that was launched in 2001, the rear is something special. At first glance it makes you think of the Volvo P70, but soon you'll see the unique lines. The concept has a shooting-brake silhouette, and the long roof provides more rear headroom and interior space. When the bottom half of the BioHybrid's split tailgate is opened, an electrically powered cargo floor-coated with high-friction rubber carpeting-slides out. And up front, a Sony Ericsson-designed interface, similar to Ford's Sync, provides in-car wireless connectivity and incorporates streaming data, entertainment, and sat-nav functions, along with support for the simultaneous use of multiple devices. The concept also explores the use of active aerodynamics for reducing drag and thus fuel consumption. Over 43 mph, the roof spoiler automatically extends to lengthen the roof line and an underbody diffuser is deployed from the bottom of the rear bumper. The 9X BioHybrid shows a potential for efficient power from its 200-hp, 1.4-liter biopower turbo engine, backed with GM's next generation Hybrid system with lithium-ion battery pack. On E85 fuel the concept can accelerate to 62 mph in 7.9 seconds and to a 134-mph top speed, and the CO2 emissions of 105 g/kg shows the potential of the package.
