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.

The price is raised 1 to 3.3% by 9 type of a car. A passenger car is for the first time in 34 years.



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. The price increase of Toyota without a model change has been the first time in 16 years since 92, and the price increase of a passenger car has become for the first time in 34 years since 74.
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.
