</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Willis risk advisers then work with their clients to assign a variety of weightings to their priorities,” Willis said in a Tuesday statement announcing the global launch. “These weightings for ultimate carrier selection may include such factors as price competitiveness, claims service and underwriting focus, among others. The client's requests are then electronically matched with carrier data, resulting in a recommended match between client need and carrier appetite.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">70% of premiums</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

The 42nd Tokyo Motor Show 2011 will be open to the public on December 3; it comes after a year of hardships, with production impacted by the earthquake and tsunami as well as recent flooding in Thailand. Currently, however, the major concern for Japanese automobile manufacturers is the strong yen, which has eroded the profitability of domestically produced export cars while shrinking overseas profits when repatriated. Japan’s top three automakers all view the promotion of domestic demand as the key to stimulating domestic production as output for export dwindles. The car makers envision electric vehicles as playing a significant role in attracting demand after the summer of post-quake power-saving made consumers more aware of the emergency power capabilities of electric vehicles in addition to their eco-friendly credentials.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Toyota, Nissan, and Honda hope to entice the public with electric vehicle concept cars at the show. Honda will unveil its Micro Commuter concept car. The small EV carries a mini electric motorcycle called a Motor Compo inside one of its doors. A removable battery installed in the vehicle can be used for the bike and also as an additional power source for vehicle. <b>Nissan,</b> the global leading EV maker, will introduce its <b>PIVO3 EV commuter vehicle</b>. The three-seat compact is equipped with an auto valet parking system. The operator will not have to carefully maneuver into tight parking spaces because the car can <b>automatically park</b> itself into lots fitted with appropriate sensors. The PIVO3, which is powered by four in-wheel motors, can also recharge itself, with excess power available for home use or even for sale to the grid. Toyota plans to unveil its FT-EV III, a <b>basic EV model</b> that the company plans to debut in the U.S. and<b> Japan in 2012.</b> The car maker’s Fun-Vii will also be among the horde of<b> electric concept cars</b> to be showcased at the show.</div>Zona Beritahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05013158047569985211noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042912287530975846.post-80574593714979268062011-08-31T20:10:00.001+12:002011-08-31T20:10:49.711+12:00passenger SUV Sonalika Motors launch<div style="text-align: justify;"><b><a href="http://pakar-info.blogspot.com/2011/08/passenger-suv-sonalika-motors-launch.html">passenger SUV Sonalika Motors</a> </b> : After Force Motors, it is now the turn of Sonalika to launch their own SUV in the Indian passenger car segment.

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Land Rover </b>says that a new Defender will launch in 2015, and while the automaker hasn’t released many details, the next-generation off roader will have to be quite a bit different to meet increasingly stringent global safety and emissions regulations. Land Rover isn’t commenting on <b>North American availability</b>, although the British brand hasn’t officially ruled out such a possibility.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The<b> DC100 </b>is what Land Rover calls a “modern interpretation” of the Defender. Penned under the watch of design chief Gerry McGovern, the DC100 clearly departs from the current Defender in a number of ways – like its much larger wheels and almost vintage Ford Bronco-like side profile.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">For now, Land Rover is keeping quiet on just what platform the <b>concept car</b> rides on and the automaker hasn’t made any hints about what’s under its hood. We’d guess it<b> features </b>a shortened version of the LR4 and Range Rover Sport architecture and a 3.0-liter turbodiesel. A hybrid system is also a distinct possibility since Land Rover is likely needing to show off a greener image for the Defender.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">As for off road capability, the DC100 concept looks like it will rely more on a sophisticated traction control system than the big rubber and articulating solid axles of the current model. That’s a trick that has worked well for those few LR4s and Range Rovers that venture off the pavement, so it should combine well with the DC100′s approach and departure angles to make a surprisingly adept performer. </div>Zona Beritahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05013158047569985211noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042912287530975846.post-41421624922433657272011-08-31T18:34:00.001+12:002011-08-31T18:35:18.526+12:00Volvo and Siemens electric cars small C30 hatchback<div style="text-align: justify;"><b><a href="http://pakar-info.blogspot.com/2011/08/volvo-and-siemens-electric-cars-small.html">Volvo and Siemens electric cars small C30 hatchback</a> ; Volvo, the Swedish carmaker owned by China’s Geely, has formed a partnership with Siemens, the German engineering group, to develop electric cars and ancillary equipment.</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The two companies said on Wednesday that an electric version of <b>Volvo’s small C30 hatchback</b> would be available for testing by the end of this year. Volvo will deliver up to 200 vehicles to<b> Siemens </b>for further testing by the end of<b> 2012.</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The venture marks the latest in a series of partnerships between <b>carmakers </b>and <b>suppliers</b> to develop various types of <b>electric vehicles</b>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">General Motors and South Korea’s LG Group announced a similar agreement last week. LG already supplies battery cells for GM’s two existing extended-range hybrids, the <b>Chevrolet Volt </b>and its European cousin, the Opel Ampera. The cars have a small internal-combustion engine to extend the range of their electric battery.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Siemens already has deals with <b>BMW and Renault</b> to develop electric-car charging equipment.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Volvo and Siemens </b>said in a statement that they would co-operate in the development of electric drive technology, power electronics and charging technology, as well as the integration of those systems into the C30.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Siegfried Russwurm, a member of Siemens management board, said: “It is our long-term goal to establish Siemens as a global system provider with solutions both inside and outside of electric vehicles. We see ourselves as a comprehensive electric mobility pioneer.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The companies did not say whether Siemens’ technology would also be made available to Geely. The Chinese government is heavily promoting electric vehicles to help alleviate the country’s environmental and energy dependence problems but electric vehicle sales in large numbers are not expected for several years.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Volvo and Siemens have scheduled a news conference later on Wednesday.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Geely’s purchase of Volvo last year was the biggest acquisition of an overseas brand by a Chinese carmaker. It is viewed as a model of a successful acquisition in the automobile sector by Beijing, which is encouraging other China carmakers to look overseas for targets.</div>Zona Beritahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05013158047569985211noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042912287530975846.post-918941189180267812011-08-31T18:20:00.003+12:002011-08-31T18:21:33.522+12:002012 BMW 1-Series 128I RWD 2-Dr Convertible L6 Interior Features<b><a href="http://pakar-info.blogspot.com/2011/08/2012-bmw-1-series-128i-rwd-2-dr.html">2012 BMW 1-Series 128I RWD 2-Dr Convertible L6 Interior Features </a>; </b><br />

The following are some policy attributes and policyholder benefits to look for when choosing a car insurance policy.</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Roadside Response & Repair</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Most car accidents and car-related incidents don't involve fatalities or grave injuries. For the most part, they are simply inconveniences that can range from waiting for a tow to awaiting long-term repairs or a claim for a "totaled" car whose repairs would cost more than the value of the car itself. Car insurance companies should offer its policyholders swift response to initial towing needs, as well as car rental options and services while they await repair on their vehicles. The repairs themselves should be facilitated quickly and smoothly, with little to no delay on the part of the insurance company for claim assessment or approval.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Policy Flexibility</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Not all motorists drive the latest sports car or can afford full coverage with no deductible. Car insurance companies should offer its policyholders a variety of insurance options that are affordable without leaving the motorist vulnerable.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Benefits and Discounts</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Car insurance companies should offer its policyholders a variety of car and driving-related benefits, such as accident forgiveness for first-time offenders, convenient payment options, after-hours services, 24-hour claims assistance and others. Car insurance companies should also offer discounts for multiple-policy holders, drivers with clean records, students with good grades and others.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br />
</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Customer Service/Claims Timeliness</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Car Insurance companies should respond to policyholder claims in a timely fashion, facilitating the necessary steps to return motorists to their vehicles.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Auto Insurance might appear to be no more than an additional tax or fee for a service that is never used. However, as the statistics show, it is one that is necessary to ensure that you--and your vehicle--remain protected against injury, accident or liable damages.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Running a car isn't cheap, made worse by the rising fuel costs we have seen recently. The cost of car insurance can be a huge strain on your finances so paying for your car cover on a monthly basis is a good way of keeping your initial outlay for <b>car insurance</b> down. However, while this may be a more convenient and manageable way to pay for your cover, it's crucial to make sure you're aware of the additional costs involved. It is also necessary you scour the whole market to ensure you find the most reasonably priced deal. Insurers can also play a part in helping motorists by not charging more than they need.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Motorists could consider other financially-savvy ways to pay for their <b>car insurance premium</b>, such as <a href="http://pakar-info.blogspot.com/2011/08/pay-car-insurance-premium-using-zero.html"><b>using a zero per cent purchase credit card</b></a>,</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">By putting the cost of the<a href="http://pakar-info.blogspot.com/2011/08/pay-car-insurance-premium-using-zero.html"> <b>premium on to a zero per cent purchase credit card</b></a>, drivers can pay for their policy in monthly instalments without paying interest. There are a number of zero per cent purchase cards on the market, so if you are eligible, you'll only pay for the original price of your policy. However, you need to be disciplined if you use a credit card, and aim to pay off the balance before the end of the promotional period, and within 12 months if the promotion is longer otherwise you will still be paying when your insurance is up for renewal</div>Zona Beritahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05013158047569985211noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042912287530975846.post-12861773246230224032011-08-17T04:22:00.001+12:002011-08-17T04:23:35.497+12:00why the cost of insuring high-performance vehicles<div style="text-align: justify;"><b><a href="http://pakar-info.blogspot.com/2011/08/why-cost-of-insuring-high-performance.html">Pakar info - why the cost of insuring high-performance vehicles</a> ; </b>A recent article by GM Authority investigates why the cost of insuring high-performance vehicles is often so much higher than insuring less expensive vehicles.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>High-performance vehicles</b> are categorized as such because they are powerful, and the article notes that insurers view these <b>automobiles</b> as being more prone to accidents. National statistics and studies have shown that high-performance cars are more likely to be involved in crashes, whether big or small, which leads to an increase in the number of <b>auto insurance claims</b>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Another <a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_1849070665"><b>reason auto insurance rates are higher for </b></a><b><a href="http://pakar-info.blogspot.com/2011/08/why-cost-of-insuring-high-performance.html">sports cars</a> </b>is that in the event of a collision, replacement parts for<b> high-performance vehicles</b> are usually very expensive, says GM Authority. It's often difficult to get a hold of parts for <b>high-performance vehicles</b>, particularly for imported models. Even simply repairing a component of a sports car usually costs much more than repairing a similar part on a less expensive vehicle.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The attractiveness of <b>high-performance vehicles</b> to car thieves also plays into higher insurance rates. However, the National Insurance Crime Bureau reports that the most stolen vehicle in the United States in 2010 was the 1994 Honda Accord, followed by the 1995 Honda Civic and 1991 Toyota Camry.</div>Zona Beritahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05013158047569985211noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042912287530975846.post-71235718402713807352011-08-17T04:16:00.001+12:002011-08-17T04:17:31.217+12:00black box for monitor policyholder’s young drivers<div style="text-align: justify;"><b><a href="http://pakar-info.blogspot.com/2011/08/black-box-for-monitor-policyholders.html">Pakar info black box for monitor policyholder’s young drivers </a>: An insurance company specialising in policies for younger drivers has used the latest in-car technology to help it to </b><b>cut premiums by 17 per cent.</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Young Marmalade uses telematics or “<b>black box</b>” <b>satellite technology to monitor the policyholder’s</b> driving behaviour, such as braking and acceleration, speed and at what time of day the car is driven. This is then used to calculate premiums; the better the car is driven, the lower the premium and vice-versa,</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">If the <b>insurance underwriter </b>is not happy with the driver’s performance, they can increase the premium or cancel it alltogether.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“We are delighted to be able to be cutting our premiums at a time when the rest of the insurance industry are increasing theirs,” said Nigel Lacy, co founder of Young Marmalade.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“It’s part of our on-going commitment to get more young people driving - and driving safely. Intelligent Marmalade has had a very positive impact on safety - analysis has shown that drivers are far more vigilant and careful.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In light of skyrocketing premiums at other<b> insurance providers</b>, this latest offering will be good news for young drivers. Earlier this month a report revealed that comprehensive car insurance for young men had soared to £4,000 per annum.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Intelligent Marmalade</b> says young men will pay on average £2,601 for its <b>insurance premiums</b>, and young women £1,642.</div>Zona Beritahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05013158047569985211noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042912287530975846.post-34172406732236228022011-08-08T22:49:00.002+12:002011-08-08T22:50:44.329+12:00Japanese carmakers Honda, Maruti Suzuki and Toyota into price war<div style="text-align: justify;"><b><a href="http://pakar-info.blogspot.com/2011/08/japanese-carmakers-honda-maruti-suzuki.html">Japanese carmakers Honda, Maruti Suzuki and Toyota into price war </a>:</b> Japanese carmakers Honda, Maruti Suzuki and Toyota are aggressively resorting to a price war as they seek to push up sagging sales in India, following a fall in sales for the first time in 30 months in July. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Honda Siel, which cut Rs66,000 off its flagship</b> City sedan last month, is set to launch a new version of its Jazz hatchback with a much more customer-friendly price tag, which according to dealership sources could be around Rs6 lakh, or over Rs1 lakh less than the previous model that was sold out last month through a huge discount offer.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Maruti Suzuki</b> too is in the process of launching a new version of its popular premium hatchback Swift with several added features. This would include variable valve timing (VVT) for added power in the petrol engine, fibre fuel tank for lighter weight, tilt steering and indicators on side mirrors in the new version that also offers extra legroom for its passengers.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The new changes in the specs are designed to give it added punches to take on the likes of Polo and i20 that boast more features than the outgoing Swift. The car is due to be launched on 17 August, but the company is largely holding the price line. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Toyota's entry-level Etios sedan has already been introduced along with the Liva priced at Rs3.99 lakh. Liva is priced much cheaper that its competition like Maruti Swift and Skoda Fabia.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">According to some analysts, the market has seen some rapid changes following Toyota's killer pricing of its new Etios, and then Honda following suit with its hot selling cars. They say now Maruti is expected to bring its top-line cars very aggressively.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Meanwhile, dealers say Japanese automakers are now providing unprecedented support by speeding up delivery after recovering from the earthquake and Tsunami of March this year and offering price cuts to preserve or increase their market share.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Domestic car sales are estimated to have dipped 10 per cent year-on-year in July, in the first fall since January 2009, as increasing overall inflation, rising loan interest rates and fuel prices impacted consumer sentiment. Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai and Tata Motors-which together account for three fourths of all cars sold in the country saw their sales drop in double-digit percentage.</div>Zona Beritahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05013158047569985211noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042912287530975846.post-13345994334399742032011-08-08T22:44:00.001+12:002011-08-08T22:45:04.515+12:00Toyota to build RAV4 electric vehicle at its West Plant in Woodstock<div style="text-align: justify;"><b><a href="http://pakar-info.blogspot.com/2011/08/toyota-to-build-rav4-electric-vehicle.html">Toyota to build RAV4 electric vehicle at its West Plant in Woodstock</a> ; </b> Minister of State for Science and Technology joined Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada on 5 August in announcing the production of the RAV4 electric vehicle at its West Plant in Woodstock, alongside the petrol-fuelled RAV4.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

In California, auto insurance rates are subject to Proposition 103, which prohibits insurers from charging excessive rates and allows citizens to challenge excessive rates. After a review by the CDI and Consumer Watchdog, <b>GEICO </b>agreed to lower rates instead, resulting in an <b>average saving</b> of $127 per year for more than 700,000 California drivers.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">During the rate review,<b> Consumer Watchdog </b>determined that <b>GEICO</b> was improperly estimating its future claims and seeking waivers of the rules for calculating its rates without meeting the requirements for obtaining such waivers. Subsequently, GEICO withdrew its requested increase and re-filed its application, requesting an 8.5% rate decrease. In June of this year, the CDI, GEICO and Consumer Watchdog agreed to the 10.7% decrease, which amounts to a savings of $91 million annually for GEICO customers. Additionally, GEICO agreed to return to CDI in 18 months to subject its rates to another review.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">This massive decrease is a substantial victory for<b> California's consumers.</b> Not only will GEICO be decreasing its rates by $91 million per year, but the agreed upon reduction is actually $125 million less than the increased rates GEICO originally requested and Consumer Watchdog challenged. This kind of turnaround is exactly why Proposition 103 gave consumers the right to challenge proposed insurance rates, said Todd M. Foreman, Consumer Watchdog staff attorney.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The consumer protections afforded to drivers, homeowners and other property and casualty insurance policyholders by Proposition 103 do not apply to<b> Californians' health insurance policies</b>, Consumer Watchdog noted.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Legislation pending in the California State Senate, AB 52 (Feuer), would create similar regulatory oversight of health insurance companies and could save Californians billions of dollars, the group said.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">"Assembly Bill 52, which recently passed out of the Senate Health Committee, will provide the same type of check on skyrocketing <b>health insurance rates</b> that Proposition 103 places on auto insurance," said Douglas Heller, executive director of Consumer Watchdog. "Patients would love to get the news that their health insurer has agreed to lower rates by 10%, instead of the massive hike after hike that Californians now endure. It is crucial that lawmakers considering AB 52 maintain the <b>protections</b> that have proved so effective for motorists since voters passed Prop 103 in 1988. Health insurance companies are pushing aggressively in Sacramento to take the teeth out of reform, but Californians desperately need lawmakers to resist the insurance lobby."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">From its passage in 1988 through 2006, Proposition 103 saved California drivers more than $62 billion on their auto insurance, according to a 2008 study by the Consumer Federation of America.</div>Zona Beritahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05013158047569985211noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042912287530975846.post-37535339609210633032011-07-14T02:11:00.001+12:002011-07-14T02:11:44.106+12:00MetLife Auto Stands By GM Auto Insurance Deal<div style="text-align: justify;"><b><a href="http://pakar-info.blogspot.com/2011/07/metlife-auto-stands-by-gm-auto.html">MetLife Auto Stands By GM Auto Insurance Deal</a> ; </b>MetLife Auto & Home says it sees its direct marketing arrangement with General Motors to provide insurance for new car buyers as a way to increase its brand recognition, which it says should also help its independent agency distribution force.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Some independent agents have questioned the carrier’s marketing deal, now only offered in Oregon and Washington.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Bob Rusbuldt, <b>Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America (IIABA)</b> president and chief executive officer, said his group believes the marketing campaign raises a host of legal issues. “We have raised licensing and regulatory concerns, along with important consumer issues,” Rusbuldt said. “MetLife Auto & Home has been open to our concerns and is seriously reviewing them.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">But the insurer told <b>Insurance Journal </b>it it is sticking with the GM deal for now.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Almost since its founding, <b>MetLife Auto & Home</b> has been known as a company utilizing multi-channel sales, so that we can sell policies to prospective customers in the way they want to buy them, and we remain committed to all our sales partners, both agents and employee-benefit sales,” said company spokesman David Hammarström.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Increased brand recognition for MetLife Auto & Home is a positive for our company and our salesforce, as further customer awareness of the company and its value proposition will continue to drive sales through all distribution channels.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Hammarström said MetLife Auto & Home was approached about being the exclusive insurance provider for this program.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Ultimately, we decided that this program could help us to grow our business and increase brand recognition, and was financially viable. We were intrigued by this program’s possibility of reaching additional consumers who otherwise may not have known about MetLife Auto & Home. In addition, this program allows the company to try something that is truly new and unique within the property and casualty industry, which, if successful, may lead to additional growth opportunities in the long run.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The company said the success of the program will be measured by the number cars sold.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Asked whether the insurer would be interested in forging similar deals with other car makers, Hammarström did not rule it out.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“We do not know whether other manufacturers are interested in this type of program, but we would welcome conversations about similar relationships if that is desired,” he said.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>The MetLife Auto policy </b>is offered with the purchase of new GM models from the Chevrolet, Buick, GMC or Cadillac lineups. The policies cover liability and physical damage coverage, above the states’ required minimum standard, according to GM.</div>Zona Beritahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05013158047569985211noreply@blogger.com2
