Das Kompaktwagen-Segment ist ebenso beliebt wie wettbewerbsintensiv – insbesondere in Deutschland. Jeder vierte Autokäufer entscheidet sich für diese Klasse. Auch wenn VW mit dem Dauerbrenner Golf mit einem Marktanteil von über 30 Prozent alle Wettbewerber dominiert – wer als Großserien-Hersteller mitmischen will, muss sich in dieser Klasse vom verbleibendem Kuchen ein möglichst großes Stück erobern. Diese Aufgabe hat bei Peugeot die am 21. September auf den Markt kommende neue Generation des 308, der seit seinem Erscheinen in 2001 immerhin insgesamt 4,2 Millionen Käufer fand. Und dies dringend – denn trotz ordentlicher Verkäufe des neuen 208 befindet sich Peugeot bei uns nach wie vor im Rückwärtsgang. Bis einschließlich August beträgt das Zulassungsminus satte 28,9 Prozent gegenüber dem Vorjahreszeitraum und das bei einem durchschnittlichen Branchen-Gesamtrückgang von 6,6 Prozent. Mit einer Länge von 4,25 Metern ist der neue 308 die kompakteste Limousine ihres Segments. Auch der Karosserieüberhang fällt vorn wie hinten überraschend kurz aus, was ihm eine dynamische Optik verleiht, ohne die Platzverhältnisse im Innenraum einzuschränken. Dank des auf 2,52 Meter vergrößerten Radstands profitieren Insassen im Innenraum von mehr Bewegungsfreiheit. Das Kofferraumvolumen von 470 Litern (VDA-Norm: 420 Liter), von dem 35 Liter unter dem Bodenteppich versteckt sind, stellt nach Angaben von Peugeot einen Rekordwert im Segment dar. Darüber hinaus gibt es im Innenraum zahlreiche weitere Ablagemöglichkeiten wie das zwölf Liter große Handschuhfach oder die großen Seitentaschen an den Vordertüren.

TruGreen, the nation’s leading professional lawn care company helping people live life outside, is expanding its expert service offerings with the launch of TruGreen Mosquito Defense to help homeowners combat mosquitoes and help protect their families.
As the weather gets warmer, these backyard invaders can prevent homeowners from reaping the benefits of living life outside. According to a recent online survey conducted by Harris Poll on behalf of TruGreen, among over 2,000 U.S. adults, 85 percent of Americans say that mosquitoes limit their or their family’s outdoor activities during the months they’re most active. The same survey also found that nearly two thirds of Americans (64 percent) are concerned about protecting themselves and their family from Zika or other mosquito-borne illnesses. Furthermore, 65 percent of Americans use bug spray on themselves/their family to combat mosquitoes outdoors at home and though it’s the top response for preventative measures, still only half (51 percent) say it is most effective at preventing mosquitoes from biting outdoors at home.
