Honda Freed 1.5G aero L package

Freed who shows good sale from the beginning of a debut in the compact minivan market of the site of a hardfought battle. I will spy into the secret of the popularity by long-run drive.
Freed is the minivan with which the adult was able to give the three-row sheet which can sit down comfortably though it was a compact body. It was put on the market on May 30, 08 and good start called an about 20,000-set order received is shown in one month.
Although Honda put Mobilio on the market as a compact minivan in 01, this thought management nature as important and also stopped full length as short as possible. But, it is said that there was much voice which expects the space of the larger 3rd row sheet from a user.
In response, Freed was developed and it is a succeeding vehicle of Mobilio substantially. As for the derivation vehicle of the ラゲッジ space serious consideration using the platform of Mobilio, and the Mobilio spike, Freed's five two-row sheet riding specification inherited the role.
An engine is 1.5l. FF combines CVT and 4WD has combined 5 速 AT. It roughly divides and variations are G system of a three-row sheet, and a FLEX system of a two-row sheet. Although there are a captain sheet (seven-person riding) and a bench seat (eight-person riding) in G system in the 2nd row, eight-person riding serves as only FF.
This time, it rode also on the backseat to the run over a total of 1400km for several days for a long time.
Freed shares fundamentally the platform and suspension mechanism of a new style fit. Of course, the characteristic center tank layout is also inherited, and the low floor position has contributed it to reservation of good getting-on-and-off nature or a large indoor space greatly.
Full length is 4215mm. It was extended by about 160mm that the 2nd row and the space between the 3rd row should be earned just, and it should come out, and should carry out to Mobilio adhering to making full length shorter than 4m.
However, breadth is stopped by 1695mm and 5 number frames. A rear door is a both-sides slide type, and, as for standard equipment and a right-hand side power slide, in left-hand side, an option setup of the power slide is carried out except for G of a base grade, and FLEX only at the upper grade of FF.
The indoor layout is rather skillful. When the 2nd row is captain sheets by three-row sheet specification, walk-through from a front seat to the 3rd row is also possible for a sheet. Moreover, at least the 3rd row of the field of view with few feeling of a blockade has been obtained by setup used as gradually as high with a flat floor a seating position as the 2nd row and the 3rd row.
Just because that an independent type captain sheet can be set as the 2nd row with the minivan of this size has the width which can use the 3rd row firmly.
On the other hand, although the direction of a bench seat can be widely used for a transverse direction, form is liable to a flat and it is somewhat hot that the light width G also maintains a posture. Moreover, when the 2nd row is bench seats, the belt of a central seat will become a two-point type. This will already have deficient backseat seat belt wear now used as duty.
To be sure, the space of the 3rd row sheet which is also Freed's melon can sit down with a posture with two honest persons also an adult. The grade which a knee touches with a few at a seat back also where the 2nd row sheet is slid to the method of the last. It seems that a knee will not be unnaturally bent if the slide position of the 2nd row sheet is made proper. It bounds, it is a raising type, and in the direction of order, an obstacle does not produce storage of this 3rd row sheet instead of upper width narrowing for a while, when [ to right and left ] using as a load room.
As for the case of FLEX (two-row sheet), a fairly large luggage area is obtained also capacity entrainment. Since the lower end and floor of a ラゲッジ opening are the almost same height, receipts and payments of a load are also smooth.
An engine is fundamentally [ as 1.5 i-VTEC which appears in Fit RS ] the same. It has the spec. of horsepower output 118ps and maximum torque 14.7kgm. Probably, it is just going to worry power performance, because 車重 of no less than 200-220kg is heavier than the fit RS at FF.
However, on the conditions to the three-person entrainment which test-rode, appropriate dissatisfaction was not produced in the passing acceleration which is on cruising on a highway, and practical use, and is [ that it is under / town / of course ] needed.
Control of a torque converter is smooth, without using mind, と can also obtain lenience and severity free, start is also smooth to an accelerator work and its acceleration from there is also so comfortable [ in the case of FF, missions are CVT, but ] to it. Engine sound was also able to consider the common region in the quiet category in this class.
In 100km/h cruising of a flat way, at about 2200rpm, the moment fuel consumption meter of 車載 in this case does 18-20km of liters from beginning to an end. The aggregate average fuel consumption in a total of 1400 aboutkm runs, such as 350km of suburban 路約, about 150km of city areas, etc. which contain about 900km of highways and winding for most by two-person entrainment, was liter 15.4km and good fuel consumption.
It is stability and a degree of comfort that it tends to become a weak point of the minivan where the body is small. In the case of Freed, body rigidity improves more sharply than Mobilio, and it can just regard that it is the low center of gravity, that the wheel base is no less than 2740mm, etc. as not bad so in conditions considering vehicle height.
Also when it went on a cruise in a highway on the strong day of a side wind, the amount of corrections of the steering was small, it ended, and グラグラ and the shaking feeling were also suppressed in the roll direction. As for handling, 14-inch tire specification is feeling in which a tire will begin to cry shortly after there is little margin and it attacks lightly to 車重. The direction of the specification which wore a 15-inch tire is solid also by the field of the response of a steering, or the sense of stability at the time of going straight.
Since assistance also follows quick steering completely, power steering which adopted the ブラシレス motor is set at the time of parking, and as etc. is easy. If indoor space is taken into consideration, it is preeminent for the merit of management.
A degree of comfort is equipped with the profound feeling as this class, and fine unevenness or a fine projection are not sensitively told by a 15-inch tire wearing vehicle, either. With the 2nd row sheet, rather than some 5 number full-size minivans, the calm degree of comfort was shown and it seemed to be desirable.

Subaru エクシーガ 2.0 i-L

It made so that it could ride firmly to the 3rd row. A run is also good! The large cloud of the Subaru goods planning department project general manager who advertizes the selling point of new style エクシーガ as ". Is the confidence a genuine article? It shows up in a trial ride vehicle instantly.
The first minivan in which Subaru did proprietary unlike トラヴィック which was an OEM vehicle from Opel is エクシーガ. Subaru itself must not state this as a minivan, but interesting one should be taken as the new style a lot of people riding vehicle. Probably a feeling of a tool imagined from a minivan is disliked, and Subaru-likeness which valued "the pleasure which runs by car" is pursued.
A development concept is "7 Sita panorama touring." In a feeling of opening, seven adults are the a lot of people riding cars which united the existing indoor space and the touring performance which inherits DNA of legacy with a kitchen and the amenity which can ride.
Body size takes into consideration the ease of treating in the inside of a town. Full length and full are almost the same as that of the out back, and only all the quantities become slightly high. Rather than a minivan, it is an image called a 背高な station wagon.
Of course, a loading engine is level opposite. NA (i, i-L, i-S) and the turbo (GT) of 2.0l. DOHC are prepared. SI chassis (SUBARU Inteligent Chassis) which is proud of the same high run performance as in プレッサ or Forester is adopted as this.
Exteriors are legacy, the out back, and a common image. The center of gravity looks low at a character line with the vigor applied to a front bumper from on a front hood, the wheel arch jutted out greatly, etc., and the arrogant feeling like a minivan is wiped away. Probably, not having adopted the slide door has the implications which aim at passenger car feeling. The large rear door opening is still taken and getting-on-and-off nature is not bad by opening to near right-angled. That the slide width of a second sheet is also large makes access to a third sheet easy.
And it serves as space which can pass those [ all ] that ride comfortably. [ a third sheet ] The effect of a theater layout that it applies to a third sheet from a front sheet, and a seating position becomes high every 70mm is also realizable. Even if it sits on a third sheet, there is no feeling of a blockade, and it is easy to talk also with a front man.
Head clearance and a レッグ space are also taken in a total of seat 10 minutes, and it is finished in full-scale 7 Sita.
The place which is most worrisome with a minivan is a sheet arrangement. But, when the abundance of a kind is pursued too much, functioning [ which is hard to use in fact ] the comfortableness of a sheet may become worsening or being also at the talk [ 本末転倒 ].
In that respect, エクシーガ gives priority to comfortableness with a thicker seat cushion. Abundant Sayori of the arrangement also values the ease of using.
A third sheet is a mechanism in which it is a fall ドダウン type, and a seat back can be folded while sinking a bearing surface. It is possible to make a flat load room space by easy operation also from the rear gate side. Moreover, in the load room, the overhang of a wheel house is suppressed and the space is secured efficiently.
The load room double under box which can stand and load a load tall in becoming an accessory case is also convenient. The know-how of abundant wagon structure is valid.
A second sheet adopts the back rest advance mechanism of 4 to 2 to 4 division by 180mm long slide. A flexible sheet arrangement is possible.
It is the merit of a field of view which he fits in a cockpit and is admired first. A pillar does not become obstructive, but it is legible, and the lower end of rear gate glass is also reduced, and a direction of movement also secures rearward visibility. Probably, the posture adhering to a good field of view is a place in character with earnest Subaru, even if there is a field which disagrees with design nature.
It is pliant and a suspension is very comfortable to [ out of a town ] a highway. Especially NA model can carry out skilled [ of comfort and the high-quality feeling ], so that it may call it healing. Although a little turbo model becomes hard, it is not a degree which spoils comfortable nature.
Although NA model had a little lonely AT in spec. at 4 速, it did not feel big dissatisfaction to a general run. Probably, having filled finishing weight of vehicle lightweight as much as possible with the heart's blood, having thought the torque of the low rotation region as important, boiling down the arrangement of 4AT to which it is used, etc. have taken effect.
A turbo model has a margin in torque, and since AT also serves as 5 速, there is a margin in power performance. Moreover, since SI-DRIVE (SUBARU Intelligent Drive) effective in an ecological drive is adopted, practical use fuel consumption cannot be bad.
エクシーガ which shows the cornering performance which does not make it conscious of the height of the back by winding. stickiness of a rear suspension -- strong -- relief -- and -- low -- a motion of nose is also light by the benefit of center of gravity horizontally opposed engine. However, since NA model has the strong comfortable intention, to the extent that it is slightly hard may be a little unsatisfactory to the Subaru fan of liking. When a turbo model overcomes the larger unevenness in a high-speed region, for example, its shock is increasing, but it is the feeling which subsequent convergence felt refreshed early. A feeling of a flat is also very best and is the Europe vehicle taste.
Although a few silence fundamental as dissatisfied is high, if the devastated way is run, the sound made into Katha Katha from somewhere in interiors will be heard. It may be a factor that it is unfamiliar to a three-row sheet model. But a trial ride vehicle is an initial lot. It can also expect being canceled if production progresses.
While seven persons have anyway the indoor space which can be passed comfortably, it is wonderful to have not sacrificed the pleasant run. It seems that it is suitable too to call it the original a lot of people riding vehicle in character with Subaru rather than a minivan.

Peugeot 308GTi

It is not an overstatement even if it tells ... which becomes infatuation rightly to the マッシブ run. Once it grasps the handle of the hot model GTi of the new model 308, the meaning of the language should be able to understand well.
It is 308 series that Peugeot made it have appeared as the 8th generation of three series in September, last year towards the Europe C segment market which becomes in use [ individual hatchbacks, such as golf of Volkswagen, Renault's メガーヌ, Ore Rith of Toyota, ].
The introduction to Japan is in June, this year, and the lineup of the sport grade 308 GTi3 type of 308 シエロ of basic model 308 premium of 5 door specification and gorgeous equipment and three doors which test-rode this time is carried out. All handles are right specifications.
As for all three models, although a 1.6l. direct injection turboengine of the same type is carried, the version upgraded more is treating the engine to 308GTi. But it is although considering the character it is natural ...
Moreover, although it was late for European sale and was introduced into Japan about 308 premiums and シエロ, 308GTi serves as Japanese introduction which takes the initiative in the world. So much, probably, it has a great hope for the market in Japan.
Peugeot 308GTi which is characteristic of a sports model and serves as a hatchback style of three doors. It is finished in the forcible appearance which makes a presentiment of a reliable run have by equipping with an 18-inch wide aluminum wheel with a sport type rear bumper, a rear spoiler, and the diameter of a large of an exclusive design.
What a door is opened and is first attached to eyes is a step guard of the pedal and door which treated the aluminum material. On the head, the パノラミック glass roof by which a standard setup was carried out illuminates in the car brightly.
The getting-on-and-off nature of the sport sheet only for GTi which serves as a pair of a leather and a fabric is not bad considering the form which is effective, either. The structure where a headrest fits the back of the head easily is also likable in a safe side.
Also although it is called a sport grade, it is with GTi located in the best as a matter of fact, and the hit where an option setup of the integral leather interior design from which a dashboard, and a door trim and a sheet serve as full leather finish is carried out as well as luxury シエロ is the Nik いところ.
Also although Peugeot 308 GTi calls it a sports model, it is not a car which forces the run which sharpened in ガチガチ. It is the specification which delights a sporty run with a relaxed feeling.
Compared with a basic model, there is no changed part in vehicle height or body size, and GTi has equipped with an 18-inch wheel about axle part to being the comfortable specification whose 308 premiums are 16 inches and whose シエロ is 17 inches. Although a thin tire will gather with ザラ of a road surface, since a sheet absorbs them well, a degree of comfort itself is not bad.
At a corner, while a suspension rolls firmly, it bends flexibly. Moreover, although a steering is cut deeply suddenly, there is no secure motion and it is said considering a sports model that it is easy to treat beginners.
Although the touch of a pedal or a shift is lighter, this is seasoning of the France vehicle no one but. It could be called a portion contrastive with the German car which thinks a response as important.
308 The engine of 175ps which made the 1.6l. direct injection turboengine of 140ps adopted as a premium and シエロ upgrade as mentioned above is carried in GTi. It is the feature to urge the optimal combustion to the engine which PSA Peugeot and BMW developed jointly by direct injection and variable valve timing-intelligent, and to generate maximum torque in a broad range called 1600 to 5200 rotations.
The engine which has been blown with a sufficient response also demonstrates the fuel consumption performance where forcible acceleration is obtained upwards and which was excellent to operation of an accelerator. 308 Although 6 速 MT is combined with GTi, it is easy to treat the feeling of the turbo by which 過給 rises smoothly from a low rotation region in the broad situation from town riding to a high-speed region.
A sticky run will be announced by the junction and winding of a highway.
Peugeot 308 is a German automobile technical magazine, and is the model which won the golden steering prize. However, it can catch a glimpse of the aesthetics of the Peugeot style to the place which is never a model only adhering to handling.
The frankness which extracts the power of the shoulder which 308 GTi has and can associate especially, and the luxury style which incorporated the joke sense could be called portion which is directing the sportiness in character with the France vehicle.
308 series carries out a standard setup of 7 air back, ABS, or the ESP on all the cars, and the point of having realized the collision safety of the highest rank can also be called secure equipment in this class.
Although fuel consumption was measured in this trial ride, it was the result of calling it liter 11.1km and town riding liter 6.9km through the drive course which escapes from the Izu skyline from Tomei Expressway. It seems that it is with 6 速 MT and the point it has run with the wide gear ratio demonstrated the effect to improvement in practical use fuel consumption when saying about high speed operation. Although it is a numerical value which is less than a catalog value (liter 10.8km) in town riding, if an early upshift is kept in mind taking advantage of MT, growth expects to a slight degree.

The エク j ステリア design which became スポーツティ more.

On August 27, the Peugeot Citroen ジャポン, Inc. announces new style Citroen C5 as 2nd model that ranks second to C6 of the best. Sale is October 1.
The body of the "saloon" with the independent suitcase and having been called the "break" to a France style until now is two kinds of station wagons which will be called "ツアラー" to a British style from this time.
Compared with the predecessor, all the quantities became low 29mm with 1451mm, and also the body sizes of a saloon are full [ 4829mm in full length / full / of 1860mm ] / wheel base 2815 mm, and are expanded by 89mm / 80mm / 65mm, respectively.
One ツアラー were full [ 4845mm in full length / full / of 1860mm ] / 1490mm of all the quantities, were shorter than the predecessor 9mm, and were broad 80mm, and the 31mm back became low.
An engine becomes two kinds, 2l. direct 4DOHC of 143ps, and 3l. V6DOHC of 215ps, as for missions, in a 2l. vehicle, 4 速 AT and a 3l. vehicle serve as 6 速 AT, and, as for a drive system, both vehicles serve as FF.
The エク j ステリア design which became スポーツティ more.
comparing the new model C5 used as the model change for the first time in seven years with a predecessor -- low & -- it evolved into the dynamic style which makes the performance of an inside imagine, having become a wide style and a shape also drawing a graceful curved surface.
Full [ of / body size equals the Mercedes Benz E class, and / 1860mm especially common to a sedan and ツアラー ] is S class level. Under the parking lot situation of urban areas which is not new, the case where troubles are suffered is also likely to have a mechanical multi-level car parking tower.
An exterior design inherits a large-sized front double Chevron mark from a predecessor. A head lamp is the keen long form used as the identity of Citroen, and large-sized air in テーク of the rib where the edge which continues to a bonnet stood, and the bumper part clarifies DNA of Citroen.
Although a character line runs to a body side as well as a predecessor, the arc is drawn so that a new model may align with the curve of a roof to the predecessor who was a straight line mostly, and it is the impression which became more stylishly and sporty.
Charm also with a big way of fullness of equipment.
Interior design is the design which spread right and left from the center console, and gave admiration, and the circular instrumental music cluster which obtained the hint to the instrument panel of the airplane is creating the future atmosphere in character with Citroen with the original new generation center fix steering.
Equipment is substantial and, as for 2l. and a 3l. model, a front multi-power seat, a dual auto air-conditioner, an automatic electric emergency brake, ヒルスタート reed stance, etc. are standards.
It becomes a full leather and also has 3l. to which, as for a sheet, 2l. gives its name to a half leather and a grade name as "exclusive" of driver's seat massage mechanisms.
"High ドラクティブ III plus" which uses nitrogen gas and oil instead of a spring and a damper like a predecessor is used for the axle part which is the greatest feature of Citroen. The signal from a sensor is analyzed on real time, and "a comfortable degree of comfort" and "high run stability" are realized by maintaining a body at a flat in all speed regions. And five years or the reliability that it is maintenance-free to 200,000km is also likely to serve as charm.
The エク j ステリア design which became スポーツティ more.

High performance coupe thoroughness comparison

"M" of "S" of Audi, "RS", and BMW, "S" of Porsche .... To the base model, each premium brand company in Germany improves the performance of a run, and is doing the lineup of many high performance models which made the inner exterior sportily and high-class.
It is "S5" that Audi raised the degree of sportiness more based on "A5" of 2 door 4 Sita who made it revive for the first time in 11 years. 4.2L V8 direct-injection engine was carried and much equipment only for S is given to the inner exterior. A price is 8,610,000 yen.
As a high performance sports model of three series, as for M3 which greeted the 4th generation by the present model, it is the feature that not the straight 6 of BMW tradition but 4L V8 engine was given. Many of parts were considered as the exclusive design also here, and also using the roof made from carbon and an aluminum part abundantly, and attaining a weight saving and low center-of-gravity-ization etc. has become the full-scale contents which were more conscious of the run. The most expensive the prices of 10,030,000 yen - 10,500,000 yen, and in this time.
ケイマン is the model which gave and coupe-ized the stationary type roof by mid ship 2 Sita opening based on a certain I star. The "ケイマンS" which is a highly efficient model previously was introduced, and standard "ケイマン" was added from the model in 2007. Although all carry flat 6 engine, 2.7L and ケイマン S are set to 3.4L, and ケイマン differs in axle part, a brake, etc. The prices of 7,860,000 yen - 8,280,000 yen.
Audi S5, BMW M3, Porsche Three high performance models of a German coupe called ケイマンS are compared and introduced.
The highly efficient version of A5 which is the 2 door 4 シーター coupe which Audi sent out after a long time at the world is S5. A body called 4,635mm in full length and full [ of 1,855mm ] is a comfortable coupe style by a long wheel base & short overhang. A single frame grill, a position lamp of LED, etc. which are the identities of Audi show the front mask more impressively in recent years. The differences from A5 on appearance are the size of an order bumper, or an aero part and a tire & wheel, a wheel of an exclusive design, etc. S5 is a more dynamic image.
An engine is a 4.2L V8 direct-injection unit which generates horsepower output 354ps (260kW) / 7,000rpm, and maximum torque 44.9kgm (440Nm) / 3,500rpm. The newest クワトロ system of the variable torque split type which set basic drive distribution in front and behind to 40:60 is carried. This is manipulated by 6 速 taped ロニック AT. The feeling which comes out in front with a boss at the moment of stepping on an accelerator forcibly from a low rotation region advertizes high performance. It is the engine with a big driving pre jar that it has blown to a top end as it is, sounding a quick response and the sound appropriate for the high performance V8.
Handling offers coexistence of horse mackerel リティ (= quick nature) and スタビリティ (= stability) with the variable steering gear ratio in greatest arms called a クワトロ system. However, completeness is already one step individually. スタビリティ is very high, although the action of a car is stable, steering Feer is not a little linear and his feeling of grounding is thin. Although it was good especially at the time of large 舵角, it was felt in the minute 舵角 domain. Moreover, the characteristic of the brake common to the Audi vehicle is worrisome. Although it is right just in a high speed domain, to an everyday general run, it will be effective too much abruptly and smooth operation will be barred.
M3 used as the 4th generation. As a top model of three series, much more parts are considered as an exclusive design rather than before, high rigidity is realized, and it has become very full-scale contents, such as a weight saving which used the roof made from carbon, and the aluminum part abundantly, and reduction in the center of gravity. the impression the looks of M3 "are ferocious" to "elegant" 3 series coupe. Even if it sees in the road, presence has a way of M3.
6 速 MT is a setup with a short stroke of a transverse direction, and a long lengthwise direction. There is comfortableness and it is easy to operate. Since a clutch pedal is also a clutch corresponding to torque like this, sticking-by-pressure power must be high, but control force is very light.
4L V8 newly developed engine demonstrates horsepower output 420ps / 8,300rpm, and maximum torque 40.8kgm / 3,900rpm. 0-100 km/h acceleration is the first time in [ of 4.8 seconds ] high performance in an official announcement value. Seemingly engine Feer is M model, is a high rotation type, and is yellow and a red zone from 8,300rpm from 7,800rpm. actually smooth -- it can blow and an uphill condition is sky-high completely. Furthermore, since torque large displacement volume and sufficient also in a low rotation region is generated as it is, it is easy to ride also by MT. V8 thrilling sound as expected is played with a feeling of climax of torque.
In addition, since it says that it cannot respond to a super-high rotation region, valve トロニック original with BMW is not adopted as this engine.
The artificial sense of incongruity as which M servo トロニック power steering was regarded by the conventional active steering fades considerably, and can taste horse mackerel リティ (= quick nature) moderately. Probably, in addition to being rear-wheel drive, this hit has advantage in BMW which dealt with the variable steering ratio promptly. On the other hand, since スタビリティ is high, there are some persons who comment that the stimulus appropriate for M fades and interest is missing, but I regard the royal road of a present-day high performance car as it being the way this should be, as one set which goes.
ケイマン -- me -- although it is positioning called a star's coupe version with a roof, I feel that atmosphere is different fairly and is felt. It is Porsche, no matter where balance in front and behind may also be good, their body size may be small and it may see it from and yet per mid ship. It is visible also like the animal which aims at game, and there is even an impression sportier than 911.
ケイマン S differs in an engine, a brake, axle part, etc. to standard ケイマン.
First, an engine is sharply powerful. バリオカム plus is adopted like 911 and the power & torque which is horsepower output 295ps(217kW) &340Nm is generated. Although it is less than 0-100 km/h acceleration by the power performance in a numerical side 5.4 seconds and in this time, it excels in a pickup very much, and that it can blow going up is also smooth and there is taste like a highly efficient engine. However, there is what is called no sensuous thing, and, as for a feeling, only a part to have stepped on when rather stepping on generates torque mechanically as expected.
While the engine is carried this much in the near place with the crew member, noise and vibration are wiped away satisfactorily. In addition, there is also production of the sound for which a crew member is made to feel a driving pre jar perfectly. Tuning of the hit is very brilliant.
Footwork is wonderful. When a steering is cut deeply, for the moment, the fresh ground where a car turns around this car to the feeling which changes direction at will in a top does not occur. Furthermore, unevenness of a road surface is flexibly and nothing and road-hugging are not spoiled at all, but moreover, it is comfortable to ride in and excels also in going-straight stability.
A setup that throttle valve travel goes up sport mode, and axle part also becomes hard. All are very linear and 車重 is also lightweight compared with other two sets. As a whole, it was greatly impressed in the height of the degree of refinement and completeness of a run.
A user cannot be convinced, if there is no advantage of a run as it is rather than the satisfaction of appearance when a spread with a base model is considered about three sets taken up this time. These three sets differ in basic packages, such as an engine - a power train, considerably. The impression of the run is also characterized in accordance with it. Similarly S5 and M3 carry V8 engine, and they are following the process of the similar evolution, such as devising a steering mechanism. It is pleasant for the combination of V8 engine powerful into the comparatively compact body to have ridden to be sure. However, if it rides on ケイマン S anew there, it will be impressed to the merit of a history. Although it is inferior by power performance, a feeling of rigidity of the steering that from a handle to the tire is connected in one, the handling of ケイマン S, as for which admiration really exists, etc. are wonderful. I think that ケイマン has true horse mackerel リティ after all although S5 and M3 are trying to take out horse mackerel リティ with the technique of being different. Since this is a portion resulting from the fundamental layout as a car, although it is an unavoidable talk --
The cockpit of the right-and-left non-symmetry which did not show off 奇 but was arranged from the driver viewpoint based on the orderly layout of the straight line keynote. In addition, it has the equipment only for S of an aluminum part, S sport sheet for exclusive use, and high-class and sporty many. A steering wheel is equipped with Pasdeloup.
A large-patterned sheet is the specification of [ also jut out side support greatly and ] a stationary type in a headrest. The leather of magma red is also set up like photography vehicles.
Carbon is arranged on a center console or an inner door panel, or chromium is used for the circumference of an air-conditioner jet, a doorknob, and meter. Textures are very different, if there is this and it will drop off. Such specification can also be chosen if it is S.
"MMI" which is an interface original with Audi is equipped standardly, and the audio system of bang & オルフセン which is a high-class audio brand is also equipped standardly.
A rear sheet is perfect separate four-person riding specification, and serves as form sporty also here. Although it will not be necessary to think amenity as important so much because of a coupe, the hips point is not somewhat structure that an adult male can ride satisfactorily, widely [ the circumference of a knee ] by slight height from a front seat. It seems that the size of the depth of a luggage area is thought as important rather.
The luggage area also has narrow breadth and comes to place a golf bag aslant. Moreover, a rear sheet can be moved forward now by 6:4 division by the lever in the right and left on a luggage area.
The instrument panel which arranged the driver mainly to the last. The technique of the latest BMW of wrapping the whole in an exotic atmosphere is the same also in M3, installing independently the monitor of "iDrive" original with BMW for a meter hood in the center of a dash in front of a driver. And M with a memory designed based on the thick steering wheel and thick shift knob of a grip, and ergonomics M3 exclusive use is made to each part, such as a sport sheet.
Although the sheet using a high-class ノヴィロ leather for exclusive use has the largest overhang of side support in this time and can obtain a moderate feeling of a hold, since it can sit down relaxedly, it gets tired also with prolonged entrainment, and it is not knowing. The material only for M3 with higher-quality trims is used. It is the aluminum shadow trim of brush finish here. As it is, it is an expensive car, and before being a sports car, it is the impression made as a high rank personal coupe. It is separate four-person riding specification perfect [ a rear sheet ] also here. Too, although there is no margin in overhead clearance not much, 座点 is low, and a bearing surface is quite long considering a coupe, and the habitation space where an adult male can also sit down perfectly is secured.
the cockpit of such simple composition that it is unexpected -- primarily -- me -- when a star undergoes a model change into Type 987, it remembers that interior design changed with ガラッ. Although the way of the former was a novel design, it became the design which felt it refreshed whether he was conscious of safety or productivity. And it is fundamentally inherited by ケイマン as it is.
Also in the place which can obtain a very low position, the sheet of the grain leather which is excellent also in hold nature only relaxing moderately but 2 Sita this time, and being able to sit down is charm.
Moreover, it is designed based on the newest ergonomics and the structure of a cockpit which can devote in sport driving, such as good meter of visibility, arrangement of exact switches, a shift which is excellent in operativity, a suitable pedal layout, is Porsche truly. Everyday driving can also carry out skilled [ of the sporty taste ] with high comfortable nature.
The tight things itself are the tastes of this car, and the cockpit of the limited space also has a feeling of opening by a large window. And storage space is substantial in the unexpected thing. Moreover, a ラゲッジ compartment called Abbreviation 260L is set up also under Abbreviation 150L and the lid of リア in the front, a so so big load can also be loaded, and inferiority is impractical.
All state driver top priority and sufficient high-class feeling is given only to the car of this price. Before being a high performance car, it is also a luxury car. Furthermore, the similarity of equipment on account of [ which was born to the present age ] a highly efficient high-class sports car is seen. Condition which called "iDrive" in BMW and was called "MMI" in Audi. "M Drive" of BMW which can program a run of oneself specification also about a run, "a drive selection" of Audi, etc. Although, as for ケイマン S, the character of the car itself also differs in two above and a coat color to it, there is a field which was a little overdue according to the stage of evolution of these interfaces. However, ケイマン S is a pure sport and can also do the view that the user itself does not desire such equipment. On the contrary, the point that ケイマン S greatly considers practicality, such as abundant setup of storage space and a ラゲッジ space of order, was unexpected.
Audi which is advancing increase of vigor, and multi-type-of-a-car deployment increasingly recently. It seems that a fan is increased still more steadily although there are also many fans from the former.
Although Audi sporty under such circumstances is liking, in TT, he sharpens too much and the model which has appeal power very much thinks that it is A5/S5 to the user of not being realistic R8.
It is just a premium coupe and a silhouette is also very beautiful. Probably, Audi has planned such cars, and it thinks if it was able to send out at last at the world.
If it rides on S5, surely, a run will be good and will keenly realize the merit of a settlement as a car. However, as clear advantage as three series and the relation of M3 does not come as right 直伝わ to A5. And if ready for the expenses which buy this car, many more intelligible premium coupes also exist. Isn't some worth of 5 [ S] クワトロ, considering ?? With the performance car of this class, I think that it is a strong point that it is AWD itself. It becomes still more expensive although Carrera 4 exists also in Porsche. S5 has this performance, is also orthodox with a premium enough, and is the car -- which can ride four persons if compelled. And just the sporty and essential portion of the Audi クワトロ that it excels in スタビリティ, it is stabilized under any situations, and can run fast thinks that it is just the advantage of S5 maximum.
Highly efficient-ization of BMW is astonished. Even 335i put on the market about one year before M3 announced performance to the extent that he is surprised. In order to have realized the fresh ground above this those days by M3 which comes out someday, he thought what on earth it would do, but this car was loaded with that answer.
However, an engine is set aside and slowdown of footwork by having become heavy greatly cannot be wiped. As M3, it is thought somehow that it became rather close to M5 too much. There is a limit also in covering it with a tire or a steering. If it is called the peak of three series to the last, it will be lighter, will be compact and will also feel like wanting you being lightly that it is the body also very well.
The writer still thinks that it is an old sense of values that it is bad if a performance car is not Spa Letin. A car called M3 will be asked for the riding taste which made them all balance and which stood high. Not only a coupe but the hit into which a new model is sent thick and fast with DCT of a sedan, a convertible, and two pedals MT and BMW are continuing making a great leap with M3.
Although the wonderfulness of M3 can fully be understood also in the present condition, the model impressed more with "It is ! truly" will come out in the inside of the model life of this car in the future.
saying [ ケイマン ] -- me -- it is a star's developed type -- me -- after 987 of the star came out, it came out, but it can be said that it was refined from the part and the start and came out into the world in the state where it was completed. furthermore, me -- there is a strong point that body rigidity went up compared with the star, and the drive Feer thinks that he has arrived at the fresh ground which even 911 of an upper class endures. However, it is although there are restrictions of the hierarchy which neither an engine more powerful than 911 nor upper equipment is given to mid ship Porsche, and is not exceeded in the meaning although there will also be a situation inside Porsche --
me open individual with much trouble who saw, came out and appeared -- taking out ケイマン of a closed roof to a star -- me -- it was thought that existence of a star might be denied. However, such a thing could not be found. It is a car with value which is different in each.
ケイマン -- never -- me -- although it may necessarily be in the middle of 911 with a star and there may be sworn brother implications of 911, it has much charm to come to choose out of 911 here to positively rather. The height of practicality, such as excelling in weight distribution per mid ship, and securing the point that a sporty taste can be tasted more by an easy drive, and the comparatively big ラゲッジ space to order, with a lightweight compact, is also charm. If businesslike with two-person riding, it will be very comfortable, will excel also in practicality, and will become sporty move space.

Hamar H3 Luxury

as for right-hand drive specification, Hamar's H3 2008 model is prepared -- a Japanese market -- ambitious. and it is said that the balance of everyday town riding and off-road run stability was markedly alike, and has evolved
Like H1 or H2, Hamar H3 makes the design of the military motor vehicle "ハンビー" of the U.S. Army project on the compact pickup truck of GM, and is completed. Hardware fundamental from a frame to a power train may completely call it in common Chevrolet Colorado and GMC キャニオン used as base vehicles.
The talk which is worrisome about AM general company which is a subsidiary of GM which produces the Hamar H3 has surfaced recently. Sale of the Hamah brand, i.e., the possibility of capital relation dissolution with AM general company, has come out as part of the revival plan of GM.
Although there is also such a thing and it is Hamar H3 of a delicate position, the 2008 type changes interior design entirely and has been a comfortable high-class SUV atmosphere. appearance -- ゴツ -- と -- a gap is good touch.
And in here Japan, an importing agency shifts to GMAPJ (General Motors Asia-Pacific Japan) from a Mitsui auto motive from this model. import of models will stop in 2007 -- I have you -- expectation grows in future deployment.
As mentioned above, Hamar H3 uses the GM system compact pickup trucks, such as Chevrolet Colorado, as a base. since -- the chassis serves as 4WD (FR base) layout which loads the rudder type called a body-on frame and there with an engine every length. That is, ウワモノ was only carried and changed. It is a model like the "costume play" carried out just for a moment.
But the exterior design is reproducing splendidly Hamar-likeness which has army vehicles in a root. Hamar's tradition is firmly inherited as well as the front mask to how where a fender and a pillar stand, and a rear end.
The model is stopped by small change of the exterior design in 2008. Form, such as a front grille & bumper, a plate under it, and a fender, changes, and plating processing of the in テーク on a wheel or a bonnet (dummy) is carried out. The blinker lens was also changed clear. The position of the rear license plate has also changed delicately.
The greatest sales point of the 2008 type H3 may be addition of a car with right-hand steering. Although there is a grade by three all, a handle on either side is set to the standard and luxury except an adventure. Considering practicality, this can be called big arms on sales. This car with right-hand steering is produced in South Africa. It is the same as Mercedes or BMW to make this country into the producing district of a car with right-hand steering.
The dash panel is renewed with addition of a car with right-hand steering. Although the army-vehicles image was strong until now, though simple, it is a decent design like a saloon car.
The direction of this dash panel design may actually match the character of H3. It is because it is very easy to treat this car unlike appearance.
A sheet layout serves as five-person entrainment by two rows. The 3rd row like H2 does not exist. As for the object for cargoes, the space is secured firmly. Remarkable capacity is securable if the 2nd row sheet is フォールド(ed). As for a spare tire, type will be equipped with a tire cover as standard by back installation in 2008.
The displacement volume rise of the direct 5 twin-cam unit which was 3.5l. at the time of a debut has already been carried out at 3.7l. It is the measure taken in order to run a 2.2t body more smoothly. This engine serves as トレイルブ Layzer's modular unit. In short, this deleted one of six cylinders, and made it 5 cylinders. since -- you may think that it has light Feer like a trail.
However, an engine is ノイジー comparatively and, seemingly the portion is not a luxury car. The engine sound which advances into in the car from per 3000 rotations is a little worrisome. At the point, V8 engine-loading car added recently is expected size.
How is off-road performance?
In the test-ride event, a hill climb & downhill called steel Mountain was prepared. Since it is called both 30 angles of inclination, it is considerable.
A gear is put in and started in 4WD low range. Clear [ in 30 inclinations ] without difficulty at the gear ratio for super-low speeds (4.03 to 1) for which Rubicon of jeep run グラー is also pressed in a hill climb. The run where the downhill was also stabilized including the brake is shown. If locked not only to センターデフ but to リアデフ, it will be the more Moors, the better victory.
It is a car which H3 rides in easily to the extent that it cannot think from ゴツ さ of appearance. although there are honesty and full so so with 1995mm, full length also calls the minimum turning radius 5.6m so long with 4705mm -- resulting -- ? フツー It becomes a numerical value.
And shortly after sitting on a dry バーズ sheet, it understands, but the view from in the car is good, and also tends to hold the vehicles interval of order. When it turns round at the time of the back, abandonment is only くらう about a dodge well to the extent that "アレッ?" is thought.
On the luxury of Japanese specification, and an adventure, HDD Nabih of preinstallment corresponding to ワンセグ is glad. Since it is the touch-sensitiveness of a 7-inch screen, user-friendliness is perfect. In short, it is specification for daily use.
Standard type AT of a price is 5,210,000 yen. MT cuts a 4,960,000 yen and 5 million yen wall. The adventure of heavy-duty specification is a setup called 6,224,000 circle. and -- further -- 5.3 l. V8 which demonstrates 305ps are added -- a price -- 6,850,000 yen. V Since 8 has not been experienced yet, it cannot say anything, but the off-road performance in which an adventure is fathomless is individually worrisome.

Toyota Motor announced on the 25th that it raises the manufacturer's suggested price for domestic of hybrid car (HV)2 types of a car, such as "Prius", and commercial vehicle, such as light truck, 7 type of a car 1 to 3.3% from September 1.

In HV, Prius and the sport type multipurpose vehicle (SUV) "Harrier hybrid" are pulled up 3%. In the case of Prius S, it changes to 2,383,500 yen. A commercial vehicle also raises the price of a light truck "Dina" etc. 1 to 3.3% in part.
It was judged that raw-material quantity -- the price of the steel materials for cars in the current fiscal year rises a little more than 30 percent compared with last fiscal year -- was serious, and could not respond only by cost reduction efforts. However, since the domestic market was sluggish, there were few consideration and competition types of a car, and they extracted the influence on sale to the commercial vehicle whose part and other company of HV where sale is good have raised the price against the background of gasoline quantity.
About other HV(s) and gasoline cars, it will be planned to improve a price from now on according to a model change etc.
If the price increase of a new car is revolved, Nissan Motor etc. shows the intention to follow in Toyota's footsteps, but some Toyota is also likely to affect the price strategy of the other company by having limited to the type of a car.

BMW X6

It was announced that BMW group Japan starts advance order registration of new style BMW X6 by BMW bona fide dealers all over the country from June 24.
X 6 is the model of an unprecedented segment with which six series which is X5 and the coupe model of SUV was united. The appearance with which the concept "sport activity coupe" united the beauty of a coupe and the brawniness of SUV is telling vividly.
Of course, there are many outstanding places also in respect of a function. It is said that the innovative technology of BMW has produced a powerful run, the outstanding energy efficiency, and the high level safety performance. Standard equipment of the dynamic performance control which becomes the first in BMW is the example of representation. This mechanism in which the maximum road-holding performance is demonstrated at the time of a cornering is indispensable to a "sport activity coupe."
The type of a car introduced into Japan becomes two kinds, xDrive35i of 3l. of direct 6DOHC direct injection parallel twin turbo engine (306ps) loading, and xDrive50i of the first 4.4l. of V8 twin turbo engine (407ps) loading in BMW. The number of both riding capacities is four.
Although the image of an exterior design repeats just a front section in X5,Coupe-likeness is taken in everywhere and the thing whose wedge was effective and as for which a feeling of a lively motion exists is made to the roof which draws a soft curve and is converged to the tail end, the waist line which turns with rear へ and runs from a front showing a rising tendency, etc.
This form demonstrates that merit also not only in the beauty of looks but in 空力面. Cd value was set to the 0.33 [ minimum ] in a segment, and realized high gas mileage and CO2 emissions reduction.
The thing which the general tools of high quality interior design and high quality many also make consider a coupe too. The electromotive-with heater sport sheet of a sheet is a standard, and an outer skin is a leather. In addition to equipment common to the upper model of BMW(s), such as iDrive&HDD Nabih and an adaptive steering, "the automatic tail gate operation which can open and close a tail gate" is equipped standardly. [ it is electric like X5 and ]
xDrive35i of a left-hand drive is [ handle specification / selection of a right-and-left handle ] possible for xDrive50i. However, a right-hand drive serves as introduction from the second half this year.
X It is a reasonable price even if compared with 5.
The 3l. direct 6 parallel twin turbos carried in xDrive35i are 135i, 335i, etc. and a common acknowledged unit, and are compatible in the fuel consumption performance of the high power of 306ps, 10.9l. / 100km. xDrive50i carries the 4.4l. V8 twin turbo unit of the new model equipped with a "high precision direct injection system" and "ピエゾインジェクター." the performance of 407ps -- a sports coupe -- a run as it were is likely to be realized.
The four-wheel drive and xDrive which carry out the optimum allocation of the driving force of order according to a run situation are used for a drive system.

Subaru エクシーガ

On June 17, Fuji Heavy Industries announced the new model "エクシーガ", and did the sale start all at once [ on the same day ] in the whole country.
A concept is "7 Sita panorama touring." It is a meaning to the extent that it is called a car safely movable while seven persons can ride firmly and all the members experience a comfortable and open degree of comfort high-quality indoors.
Although all the body quantities are fundamentally low 15mm compared with Forester using the same platform, full length is long 180mm, and if it reaches indoor length, no less than 720mm is long [ full length ]. The three-row sheet of 2 / 3/2-person credit adopts from before the theater layout to which a seating position becomes high gradually toward a backseat. If the パノラミック sunroof set as a grade as a maker option in part is combined with this, the crew member of a third sheet can also be fully immersed in a feeling of opening, thanks to the glass area which spreads on the second sheet head.
Of course, an engine is a favorite 2l. level 4 cylinders of Subaru opposite DOHC engine, and it is prepared also with a turbo. Only a turbo loading grade serves as 5 速 AT+AWD specification, all the missions of non turbo 3 grade are 4 速 AT, and the drive system can choose FF or AWD.
As for エクシーガ, the silhouette in which it is considered as a design which is an inhouse seven-person riding minivan model which becomes the first in Subaru, and where the back does not look highly with devising window form with all the quantities of 1660mm, and a touring wagon is impressed is the feature. Even if it sees dimensionally, it can be called 4740mm in full length, full [ of 1775mm ], and the packaging that aimed at per Odyssey and mark X Gio.
Room is felt for an indoor space so that indoor quantity higher 55mm than Odyssey may also show. The merit of comfortable nature and comfortableness is the same level as a special seat by adoption of a cushion especially with a thicker second sheet etc. Furthermore, in order to realize "seven persons can ride firmly", it is supposed that it designed so that a man with a height of about 180cm could sit down comfortably also about a third sheet.
The thing that the theater sheet layout which has contributed to a feeling of opening greatly is higher than the 1st row 70mm in the bearing surface of the 2nd row, and the 3rd row will be made high and will open a front field of view 70 moremm from the 2nd row. In addition, the large and flat space is secured at feet of a third sheet by making a gasoline tank into the product made of resin with high molding flexibility.
The new minivan image which Subaru-likeness produced.
It is said that エクシーガ realized the run with the sense of stability which adopted and carried out aversion to a minivan of the SI drive for which a driver is arbitrarily changed [ シンメトリカル / AWD / of Subaru / original ] to a standard in the engine characteristic also about the mechanism. Furthermore, having considered it as the double wish type of exclusive development of a rear suspension contributes not only to improvement in operation stability but to reservation of the step space of a third sheet, or a cargo space.
As for an engine, the spec. of the turbo version is 225ps/33.2kgm. By Min Van with many opportunities who rides by a lot of people, it dares suppress an output and priority is given to the torque in a low-speed region. It has 10 and 15 mode fuel consumption, and 12.0km and high fuel consumption performance. In the natural aspiration unit, combustor efficiency was raised and also adoption of the air intake AVCS (variable valve timing) etc. has realized 10 and 15 mode fuel consumption of 14.0km by FF model. They are regular gasoline specification, that is, a point delightful these days.
In the safety Noh mask, in プレッサ which shone with Grand Prix of JNCAP (automobile assessment) in the current fiscal year, and the collision safety performance more than equivalent are pursued.

Toyota Crown

If Toyota Motor does the establishment law of the hybrid while changing the model of a crown royal & athlete fully on February 18, it will announce. As for sale, a hybrid is set to May 6 by the royal & athlete on February 18 of announcement that day.
The maximum epoch of a new style crown which counts the 13th generation in this time is that the hybrid car was completely added to lineup. while the first hybrid system THSonly for FR-II in the Toyota brand is carried and environment is considered in the combination of V6.3.5 l. and a high-output motor -- a powerful run -- 愉しむ -- it is said that things are made.
The trend after the sale in ? May is just going to be worrisome about whether it becomes a pillar of three flat knots following the royal which aimed at the merit of quietness and a degree of comfort, and the athlete who pursued the joy which grasps a handle more than the former.
Stores are Toyota stores (the Tokyo areas are Tokyo Toyota and the Tokyo トヨペット) all over the country. A monthly sales target is 5500 sets (a hybrid is 800 sets among them). [
A new style crown appeared in the character from which three types differed with the "hybrid", the "royal", and the "athlete."
As for a hybrid, a front grille with the Taikai oral region and the round shape fog lamp arranged at right and left are the features. The part of the blue keynote is used for a detail and spirit of innovation is advertized.
A royal arranges a square-shaped fog lamp to bumper right and left. A grill directs adoption and a high-class feeling for the horizontal bar with which thickness differs from depth towards a center.
As for the athlete, in the sporty image of a mesh grill, the extension of a dark smoked tone is given and the head lamp is also advertizing intrepid. As for a power unit, a hybrid is V6. A 3.5l. + motor, a royal, and an athlete are V6 engine 3 2.5 to 3.5l. types.
With the 2850mm same wheel base as a predecessor, a body extends full length by 30mm. Moreover, a tread also grows up into 10mm and full has grown to be 15mm expansion and the more dignified body. On the other hand, the minimum turning radius was limited to the 5.2 samem as a predecessor, and good management nature is secured.
A collision safety feature with a driver monitor is also equipped.
A cabin realizes further quiet-ization by optimization of body structure. Interior design is a design which directs a spread and a driving pre jar, and adopts many high-quality materials. A hybrid carries the "fine graphic meter" which TFT-liquid-crystal-ized the full screen.
The greatest observing points in a mechanism are the protective gear having contained many "first in the world." First, in unification on a highway, based on the information on car navigation, the timing of an upshift is supported so that adjustment and the optimal acceleration may be obtained. Moreover, accelerator-off and Bray Keon are interlocked with at the time of an outflow, and it controls engine braking.
Furthermore, at the stop point of a general way, it shows existence of regulation to a driver with a display and sound of the Nabih screen, and "the Nabih brake assistance" intervenes so that it can stop at a stop line at the time of a slam on the brake. Moreover, the function in which a camera brings forward the operation timing of judgment and a プリク rushes safety system was also carried in the state of the eye of a driver etc.
The new style crown which accomplished steady and complete evolution. There is no waving in the presence as a flag ship of the Toyota brand.

Toyota Al Fuad

On May 12, Toyota Motor changed the model of Al Fuad fully, and announced that it puts on the market from the same day (sale of a 2.4l. 4WD vehicle is on August 1).
By this full model change, Al Fuad became "Al Fuad" and two lines of a new car name "ヴェル fire." Decent and refined appearance and a "ヴェル fire" are forcible advanced appearance, and "Al Fuad" is making each difference conspicuous. As for a sales channel, in "Al Fuad", a トヨペット store and a "ヴェル fire" serve as a nets store.
A loading engine is two kinds, 2.4l. of direct 4DOHC, and 3.5l. of V6DOHC, respectively. V 3.5l. of 6 is old V6. 3l. is replaced and it is carried in Al Fuad / ヴェル fire for the first time this time.
The outstanding packaging by the newly developed platform is also a big selling point. The comfortable space which might be produced by low floor-ized technology with all the low quantities is likely to pose a threat also to Nissan Elgrand which is the greatest rival.
As for the number of 月販目標売 sets, Al Fuad becomes 3000 sets and the ヴェル fire has become 3000 sets.
The brother vehicle ヴェル fire simultaneously set up with Al Fuad who underwent the full model change into the 2nd generation. the difference of both the cars that share a new platform and a mechanism -- "decent and refinement" (Al Fuad) -- "-- it is in the design concept advanced" (ヴェル fire), forcibly.
The greatest difference is a front mask. They are acute designs which emphasized a feeling of a spread which continues from the head lamp from which the ヴェル fire separated into two steps of upper and lower sides to Al Fuad who updated in a modern style, and an upper row head lamp, such as a grill, leaving a predecessor's image. As for the design of a front, rear に is also reflected, and two steps of upper and lower sides constitute the rear pair lamp of a ヴェル fire as well as a head lamp. Moreover, the aero grade which directed the sporty image with the bumper, side クラッディングパネル, and the 18-inch aluminum wheel with which both vehicles emphasized a feeling of straddle other than a standard body is prepared.
Body size expands full length and full slightly. On the other hand, all the quantities were 1890mm (1900mm with an aero grade low 35mm) low 45mm, and impress the wide & low form also in a feeling of coercion which a full-size body has.
Environmental performance is also raised by good fuel consumption-ization.
Interior design is what is in character with the flag ship minivan of Toyota truly, and was full of magnificence and a feeling of "a reception." Although all the quantities became low, it succeeded in lowering floor quantity more than it by taking in a low-floor design, and indoor quantity increased 10mm.
it should mention especially -- the "executive power seat" which is the 2nd row sheet which can be chosen from three types, and serves as the best,It is the "ultimate 2nd row sheet" with which the "large-sized footrest" with which the front sheet back was equipped, the "power ottoman", the "large-sized headrest" which turns around, and which is covered to a temporal region of head, etc. were given. Sound space which has an option setup and a clear and overwhelming spread for the "Toyota premium sound system" in which an audio also has a total of 18 speakers is realized.
Engines are two types of V6 and 2.4 l. V6 which heightened the output of new loading 3.5l. 3.5l. states 2.4l. of the high levels of environmental performance as conventional ratio 20% the conventional 3 l. ratio 7% with the fuel consumption which improved sharply.
A price is a 2.4l. entry grade and is from 3 million yen. If options, such as an audio, etc. are taken into consideration, 3,500,000 yen is likely to become a starting line mostly.

Mitsuoka car オロチ zero

As for "the big snake (オロチ)" put on the market as first supercar in Japan in October, 2006, the supercar of Europe is the model equipped with the individuality from which a vector is different. They are the organic exterior design of having imagined the legendary big snake "8 岐大蛇", and seasoning which thought "the ease of riding" as important also in consideration of road conditions and an environmental problem of Japan by holding down a horsepower output to 233ps.
On the other hand, a body color prepares the order system that an interior design color can be chosen from leather of 24 colors, from 300 colors. A "prejudice" appropriate for the supercar of small-lot production by handmade [ of craftsmen ] is the model currently demonstrated fully.
The new versions added to the オロチ this time are "a big snake and0 (オロチ zero)." The greatest difference from original オロチ is an image of an exterior. It is abandoned, the vertical line of a head lamp is also omitted, and the plating part which colored the bonnet and the rear gate gains a simple design. It is changed into the form carried out simply and frankly from the exterior which オロチ has and which might be said to be slightly decorative. This can also be said to be the thing expressing the form of "purer" オロチ.
The engine sound which sounds in the vehicle interior of a room directs sportiness.
The changed part has also attained to structure and equipment. First, it was considered as a setup which tickles a sport mind by reducing the acoustic insulation inside a body and leading an engine and the sound of エキゾースト to a cockpit. Moreover, HDD Nabih who had become a standard setup in オロチ, the back camera, and the ETC in-vehicle machine are also changed into the option by オロチ zero.
furthermore, as for the exterior, also in the color variation, a part of "thundercloud (cancer -- metallic)" 1 color and interior design serve as only black which used synthetic leather.
The price tag followed on the simplification of such equipment is 9,345,000 circle (including tax) cheaper 2,500,000 yen or more than オロチ. Also although the vehicles price whether 12 million yen of オロチ would be reached called it Japanese-made supercars, because it was a by no means low wall, it should become good news to a fan.
20 production of these オロチ zero is limited in one year. It completes by an application writing down necessary information in the reservation application form prepared for the homepage of the Mitsuoka car as well as オロチ, and transferring sending and reservation application money (2 million yen).

Tetsuji [Beijing and Kuzumi] The Ishii 慧 (admonishing) (Kokushikan University) of the first participation in the Olympic Games won the gold medal by the over 100 kilogram category boy of 15 days and judo of the 8th day of Olympic Games in Beijing. A Japanese team's gold medal is this and it is the 6th piece.
[Photograph special edition] Medal of the representative of Japan
Ishii is an ippon victory of 4 game continuation from the 2 times game of the first game to a semifinal. In the final, アブドゥロ Tan Quliyev (Uzbekistan) was attacked continuously, and instruction was given to the partner twice and carried out the superior victory to him.
The total medal of boy judo of Japan is one 66 kilogram category gold of Masato Uchishiba (Asahi Chemical) till the previous day, and becoming the lowest ever number of medal acquisition was decided. A total of seven medals (gold 4, silver 1, copper 2) of the judo which united the woman is lowest ever but henceforth [ the 92 year Barcelona Olympic Games from which this also became man-and-woman enforcement ].
Ishii is 21 years old of the Osaka native.

Subaru エクシーガ 2.0 i-L

It made so that it could ride firmly to the 3rd row. A run is also good! The large cloud of the Subaru goods planning department project general manager who advertizes the selling point of new style エクシーガ as ". Is the confidence a genuine article? It shows up in a trial ride vehicle instantly.
The first minivan in which Subaru did proprietary unlike トラヴィック which was an OEM vehicle from Opel is エクシーガ. Subaru itself must not state this as a minivan, but interesting one should be taken as the new style a lot of people riding vehicle. Probably a feeling of a tool imagined from a minivan is disliked, and Subaru-likeness which valued "the pleasure which runs by car" is pursued.
A development concept is "7 Sita panorama touring." In a feeling of opening, seven adults are the a lot of people riding cars which united the existing indoor space and the touring performance which inherits DNA of legacy with a kitchen and the amenity which can ride.
Body size takes into consideration the ease of treating in the inside of a town. Full length and full are almost the same as that of the out back, and only all the quantities become slightly high. Rather than a minivan, it is an image called a 背高な station wagon.
Of course, a loading engine is level opposite. NA (i, i-L, i-S) and the turbo (GT) of 2.0l. DOHC are prepared. SI chassis (SUBARU Inteligent Chassis) which is proud of the same high run performance as in プレッサ or Forester is adopted as this.
Exteriors are legacy, the out back, and a common image. The center of gravity looks low at a character line with the vigor applied to a front bumper from on a front hood, the wheel arch jutted out greatly, etc., and the arrogant feeling like a minivan is wiped away. Probably, not having adopted the slide door has the implications which aim at passenger car feeling. The large rear door opening is still taken and getting-on-and-off nature is not bad by opening to near right-angled. That the slide width of a second sheet is also large makes access to a third sheet easy.
And it serves as space which can pass those [ all ] that ride comfortably. [ a third sheet ] The effect of a theater layout that it applies to a third sheet from a front sheet, and a seating position becomes high every 70mm is also realizable. Even if it sits on a third sheet, there is no feeling of a blockade, and it is easy to talk also with a front man.
Head clearance and a レッグ space are also taken in a total of seat 10 minutes, and it is finished in full-scale 7 Sita.
The place which is most worrisome with a minivan is a sheet arrangement. But, when the abundance of a kind is pursued too much, functioning [ which is hard to use in fact ] the comfortableness of a sheet may become worsening or being also at the talk [ 本末転倒 ].
In that respect, エクシーガ gives priority to comfortableness with a thicker seat cushion. Abundant Sayori of the arrangement also values the ease of using.
A third sheet is a mechanism in which it is a fall ドダウン type, and a seat back can be folded while sinking a bearing surface. It is possible to make a flat load room space by easy operation also from the rear gate side. Moreover, in the load room, the overhang of a wheel house is suppressed and the space is secured efficiently.
The load room double under box which can stand and load a load tall in becoming an accessory case is also convenient. The know-how of abundant wagon structure is valid.
A second sheet adopts the back rest advance mechanism of 4 to 2 to 4 division by 180mm long slide. A flexible sheet arrangement is possible.
It is the merit of a field of view which he fits in a cockpit and is admired first. A pillar does not become obstructive, but it is legible, and the lower end of rear gate glass is also reduced, and a direction of movement also secures rearward visibility. Probably, the posture adhering to a good field of view is a place in character with earnest Subaru, even if there is a field which disagrees with design nature.
It is pliant and a suspension is very comfortable to [ out of a town ] a highway. Especially NA model can carry out skilled [ of comfort and the high-quality feeling ], so that it may call it healing. Although a little turbo model becomes hard, it is not a degree which spoils comfortable nature.
Although NA model had a little lonely AT in spec. at 4 速, it did not feel big dissatisfaction to a general run. Probably, having filled finishing weight of vehicle lightweight as much as possible with the heart's blood, having thought the torque of the low rotation region as important, boiling down the arrangement of 4AT to which it is used, etc. have taken effect.
A turbo model has a margin in torque, and since AT also serves as 5 速, there is a margin in power performance. Moreover, since SI-DRIVE (SUBARU Intelligent Drive) effective in an ecological drive is adopted, practical use fuel consumption cannot be bad.
エクシーガ which shows the cornering performance which does not make it conscious of the height of the back by winding. stickiness of a rear suspension -- strong -- relief -- and -- low -- a motion of nose is also light by the benefit of center of gravity horizontally opposed engine. However, since NA model has the strong comfortable intention, to the extent that it is slightly hard may be a little unsatisfactory to the Subaru fan of liking. When a turbo model overcomes the larger unevenness in a high-speed region, for example, its shock is increasing, but it is the feeling which subsequent convergence felt refreshed early. A feeling of a flat is also very best and is the Europe vehicle taste.
Although a few silence fundamental as dissatisfied is high, if the devastated way is run, the sound made into Katha Katha from somewhere in interiors will be heard. It may be a factor that it is unfamiliar to a three-row sheet model. But a trial ride vehicle is an initial lot. It can also expect being canceled if production progresses.
While seven persons have anyway the indoor space which can be passed comfortably, it is wonderful to have not sacrificed the pleasant run. It seems that it is suitable too to call it the original a lot of people riding vehicle in character with Subaru rather than a minivan.

Audi A3 sport back 1.4TFSI

A3 which established a segment called a premium compact. Whenever the accuracy of the elegant form and a run undertakes a year, it is raising the completeness.
It is a thing in 1996 that A3 appeared for the first time. The market was expanded continuously steadily after that, and by the time now it occupied a little more than 20% of all the Audi models, it grew up.
The 快進撃 became remarkable after becoming the 2nd generation that appeared in 2003. The volume of production which will exceed 230,000 sets from sale in 2007 of eye four years was attained, and the line-off of the 1 millionth set of A3 was carried out at last at the end of March, 2008. Probably, it is not an overstatement even if it calls it the car which sold to sell.
I will move eyes to a Japanese market here. A3 achieved the Japanese debut only with 5 door hatchback called the sport back in 2004 which will become the one-year back of an appearance of the 2nd generation. It is proud of high popularity and 5000 sets are sold in three years in 2005 to 2007 in Japan as well as with one model Sekai. present A3 of such a popular model -- but -- June -- a big minor change -- 行な -- it was divided. Appearance and a run are referred to as showing marked improvement.
There is design change to one of the topics of A3 to which the minor change was given. Although full length was extended by 6mm and set to 4290mm, on the whole, a form becomes low and has been a sportier style than the former.
The sharp headlights bordered with LED are also Kirili and カッコイイ! LED of the circumference of a headlight will be set to OFF in Japan, although the light is always switched on as Delight in Europe.
A changed part does not have interior design so much. The driver information liquid crystal display in meter serves as a white from red, and it is impressive that visibility increased.
A ラゲッジ space is widely user-friendly. ラゲッジ capacity is actually large a little rather than 370 to 1100l., and 350 to 1305 of VW golfl. With 1m, since an opening is also large, shipping and discharging of a load is also made to ラク.
The thing which was damp when turned over and the version used as a drip tray [ OK ] which are called a reversible load floor as an option are also prepared.
1.4TFSI which test-rode this time is the direct injection cultivated with the TDI (diesel turbo) engine of the Audi boast, and a thing adapting the technology of 過給, and it is the feature to control power by the power of 過給. At an important point, adoption of water cooled system インタークーラー included in the intake manifold and a byway turbocharger compensates reduction in torque also with the small amount of exhaust gas.
By the favor, while generating 200Nm maximum torque at 1500 to 4000rpm, it has succeeded in generating 80% of maximum torque in the low rotation region of 1250rpm.
The missions put together are the newly developed 7 速 S トロニック. With quick performance, number of rotations was stopped by making an overdrive-gear ratio high, and good fuel consumption is realized.
Incidentally in 7 速 S トロニック, the conventional 6 速 S トロニック serves as 250Nm of maximum torque correspondence to 350Nm of maximum torque correspondence.
the grounder of run 出し which newly developed 7 速 S トロニック worried by the 6 速 S トロニック model -- a grounder -- there is also no admiration and the smoothness at the time of start is impressive. Even if it gathers speed after that, the comfortable riding taste is delighted with a quick gear.
On a high-speed-operation scene, improvement of axle part is effective. Especially, the arrangement of リアサス of 4 link types was good, and, on the whole, was able to experience ピシッ and the tightened run.
Though transverse stiffness is raised and カチッ and admiration are raised, it is a thing that the merit of a degree of comfort was pursued, but isn't it the performance as an aim in general?
Conversely, since a degree of comfort at the time of a low speed had worn the 17-inch tire (a standard is 16 inches) of the option this time, the Katha さ was conspicuous by touch which the leg stretched. Considering the image of sporty Audi, no way may just be going to be.
As worried equipment, there is parking assistance only for parallel parking. Although it was undecided whether it was introduced into Japan, it was easy and I felt that it used considerably for the method of the setup.
Since it is said for [ of vehicle warehousing ] women weak that this technology is developed, is the woman incidentally, said to be poor at vehicle warehousing even in Europe?
This of Japanese introduction is undecided, and the damper called マグネ tick ライド is also worried. Froude who mixed magnetic powder is used with the technology using changing the characteristic by change of voltage, enclosing him instead of damper oil.
Since adoption of this damper has regulation of Audi of 160 or more ps in a horsepower output by a gasoline engine loading vehicle, assumption outside can equip with 1.4TFSI but 1.8TFSI and 2.0TFSI クワトロ it is otherwise decided that Japanese introduction will be. It is the Audi TT coupe etc., and since it has already landed at Japan, the possibility of the appearance by A3 Bar Joan is high.

Existence of the "hiding function" with which an apple and "iPhone" were equipped is accepted. "It is a function not to use I praying" and Mr. Jobbs

Mr. Steve Jobs (Steve Jobs) who is CEO of U.S. Apple is on August 11,It was admitted that the what is called "kill switch (kill switch)" function which can cancel the malicious application downloaded to iPhone by remote control was equipped.
Mr. Jobbs explained existence of the kill switch function which can stop the application downloaded to iPhone or iPod by the Apple side in the U.S. Wall Street Journal paper dated August 11.
The application with which Mr. Jobbs is malicious passes through the check of the company, and it is being emphasized as the "last measures for defense" in the case of having been sold by "App Store" that this function is required.
"Although it does not use the kill switch, it will also be irresponsible that this kind of function is not prepared at all." (Mr. Jobbs)
In addition, Apple has managed the application for iPhone currently sold by App Store.
Existence of this function became clear in what a certain Jonathan ジジアル skiing (Jonathan Zdziarski) of the also took up the work about iPhone development for by the security researcher last week. The said person discovered that the code of one line which specifies URL like a non-fixed blacklist as OS of iPhone was contained. This URL is a server of Apple and only temporary data is contained at present.
Mr. Andrew Storms (Andrew Storms) who acts as the director specializing in security business by U.S. nCircle Network Security of a security vendor,It is assuming the question to regard iPhone in which such a hiding function was carried as the device for companies.
Mr. Storms claims "The kill switch of including in the management tool of iPhone and Apple setting up through URL is unsuitable." Incidentally, "BlackBerry" which Research In Motion (RIM) of Canada offers can cancel the application which IT administrator of a company manages by himself by remote control.
However, Mr. Storms is saying, "If it sees from a consumer's position, a kill switch function is also required." The said person raised the application "I Am Rich" sold by App Store till last week, as the example.
This application was sold for 999 dollars 99 cents, although only the function which displays an icon like a ruby on the home screen of iPhone was equipped (it is only an application which reveals that he is rich in short). According to Mr. Storms, although it seems that several persons purchased this application, they say that they were immediately deleted from App Store.
Since App Store started operation, Mr. Jobbs has said that the application of an average of 1 million dollars per is sold day in 30 days. If this pace is maintainable from now on also, sales of 360 million dollars can be expected in one year. Incidentally 30% of the sales [ the remaining 70% of ] of application are distributed to Apple at the development origin of application.
Existence of the "hiding function" with which an apple and "iPhone" were equipped is accepted. "It is a function not to use I praying" and Mr. Jobbs

Porsche 911

It is 997GT3RS. Parallel importation, a new car, and a color are oranges.
It says from a conclusion. It is GiveUp in several after-purchase month mileage of 600km.
since it was a very good car (the vehicle store) -- then -- と -- it is quite late although I purchased. It is later than challenge ストラダーレ as well as 996GT2 which had ridden before. If it says more, it is later than ランエボ 8 before finished by マインズ. Although I understood, that comparison with GT2 is nonsense rode, because some were expected, and it was ガッカリ.
if it is a circuit -- an interesting car -- although those who consider it ... also come, since my run area is a translation which is the general way ONLY and which carries out and is not in a racing car these days. Even if called a straight line school gang leader, it is important for the general way performance emergency which is O.K. The acceleration when calling it ココ っ now is very ガッカリ touch.
RS from a vehicle friend -- how is it? It was very hot touch to answer that it will seemingly be interesting in a circuit, whenever it is heard.
I opted for sale on the day when the tail of F430 has finally kept away in a straight line.
Also interior ... Colet -- 911 ... carrying out cost performance pursuit too much, although it is being able to say to the whole Porsche vehicle -- it is . GT3andGT2 once -- a special -- since it is a model translation, I am not impressed at all to the extent that some アルカンターラs were adopted. The circumference of meter, and steering door lining [carbon] I want you to make it a special more. Although it is not leather tension, 911 series ほぼ as it is is touch.
Since GT2 had speed, interior patience could be carried out, but I did not have a reason which GT3 puts up with.
It also understands that many those who high-evaluate this car by a viewpoint completely different from me also exist.
once -- me -- as the opinion of an individual, it was the touch which is not so interesting.
I think if you refer to those who will consider purchase from now on.
