2011 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Convertible

Car dealers do the strangest things to their vehicles. Just think how many cars are out there with terrible vinyl fabric roof and add-ons, manufacturers almost a generation later swore them completely. Manchester Subaru in Manchester, New Hampshire is not content to create some level of false-adhesive and ribbon-cutting in a top-dog 2011 Subaru WRX STI. Instead, the dealer has gone all the Massacre at rally-bred performance sedan. The result is a picnic basket of automotive woe.

 At least the �hold� left after all the chop-shopping remains a fleeting appearance of rigidity. The rest? Awful. There is an ill-fitting tonneau, chopped amounts of the doors and wing WTI huge mark still hangs off the trunk. The worst part? This price is supposedly poor Subaru $ 75,000.

 No joke. Sure, there�s an �exclusive� factor, but 75 great buys a huge amount of high-performance real-convertible, the kind that do not sing like a baked macaroni. The deal would have ordered five of these abominations, which probably five more that nobody wants

Smart Fortwo Concept

Smart Fortwo Concept

The smart fortwo is not so much a small car as a short. With only eight meters from stem to stern, is by far the shortest car on the market. What is the difference between small and short? A small car can stay low to the ground to achieve excellent handling and fuel economy. A small car only excels at one thing: parking unlimited parallel. The first generation Smart proved the point. As reviewed on TTAC, it was a noisy, slow, poor handling, stiff-legged bouncy, and a car with meh mileage crashy. Thus, Daimler says it�s corrected the flaws of the first-gen is. The version 2.0 heads stateside in 2008 � ready for prime time?
The new ForTwo maintains its Tonka toy proportions and look at me I�m wearing designer sunglasses (without prescription) unconventionality. There is now a bracket painted around the driver�s compartment: a clever if unsuccessful attempt to reassure drivers that Smart has your back (as there is nothing much behind them). From certain angles, the bar marked Four Two looks like a Pokemon with weird sideburns. Anyway, there�s no denying that observers (especially women) fight the urge to muss her hair metaphorical, the ForTwo and pinch your cheeks figuratively.
cabin.jpgThe new cabin ForTwo uses shapes, textures and fonts with a little less original than before. The dash is now in monolithic form powerful Mercedes. And it�s a shame the periscopes single signature (rpms and clock) are not standard issue. On the positive side, the interior is still very airy and spacious: a paradise for a brace of urban art loving. The quality of materials and finishes Ye Olde SMART overcome by a wide margin. Better yet, the trunk of the ForTwo can now swallow a full 58 liters of luggage. Another Tumi for the road?

The stateside Smarts are motivated by one liter three-cylinder engine. The powerplant is an old beast revvy little, even at idle. Annoying vibration steady hand, the mini-mill certainly gives his all-70 horses to push the cause forward. Tachometer needle guide for 6500rpm redline and you can only accelerate (if this is the right word) from rest to 60 mph in 12 seconds. The ForTwo also relatively comfortable cruising at 70mph. That�s provided you can wait that long and overcome the stubbornness of the gearbox of FourTwo passion to kill.
SMART bus.jpgThe original was correct and roundly criticized for halting its transmission. The new gearbox also changes in sequence (on request) or automatically (when he feels like it). Gear change times are reduced. But unfortunately, the new ForTwo has changed the way you speak Frank Costanza. Driving smoothly, the gearbox swaps with no problems. But the hard acceleration will make you and your passenger look like diehard (hopefully) headbangers. Even worse, if you need a burst of glamor to the passing of emergency, the smart fortwo will pause for a moment or two before calling more stick while you contemplate a premature death and messy.
The suspension ForTwo is also improved, but not enough. For a city car that is shorter than an NBA player carrying a midget on the shoulders, the ForTwo v2 rides very well. For any other type of car, the suspension is crap. You would have to be a fan of sadomasochism light to appreciate the Smart hard not to say wagon ride quality. If potholes mar your local landscape, so a smart owner will have his chiropractor on speed dial.

 

A outra desvantagem de um carro duro suspensa: voc� pode estar enganado em acreditar que trata bem. Sim, os cantos ForTwo plana. E � verdade: a minha direc��o n�o assistida testador era mais carnuda como um caldeir�o de piment�o Texas. Mas limita o ForTwo s�o inferiores aos quadris cobra, ea bab� manipula��o ESP est� sempre de plant�o. N�o � para colocar um ponto demasiado fino sobre ele, um motorista agressivo pode colocar o ForTwo em qualquer atitude de manipula��o que eles gostam, enquanto ele � um slide de subviragem.
back-end.jpgSo o Smart � um desagrad�vel de dirigir, p�nei de um truque. E ainda existem muitas pessoas, algumas 30k americanos pioneiros na �ltima contagem que n�o poderia me importar menos sobre a sua din�mica de condu��o terr�vel. A saber: em um fininho milhas trezentos junto ao Rio Mosela, minha namorada se apaixonou com o ForTwo. Ela ficou encantada com as quest�es colocadas pelos belgas amig�vel rural, e divertido quando o motorista de um caminh�o de vinte toneladas buzinou e deu-nos um polegar para cima � medida que passamos de uma sinuosa estrada de montanha (eu estava paralisado de medo).
Calculo que o smart fortwo � o equivalente automotivo dos Cone Maxwell Smart do Sil�ncio: uma grande id�ia na teoria, um dispositivo ris�vel na pr�tica. Ent�o, novamente, o ForTwo � uma declara��o. E ele carrega uma semelhan�a not�vel com o Porsche 911: um conceito rid�culo feito por drivable obsessivo-compulsivo engenheiros alem�es. Mas, enquanto a Porsche tem quase sempre ganhou dinheiro, o Smart nunca. Julgando v2, que provavelmente nunca ser�

2011 Mini Paceman Concept

A new design concept MINI will make its debut at the 2011 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), to be held between January 10 and 23, 2011. The paceman MINI Concept is the first Sports Activity Coupe in the premium small market.
The MINI Concept paceman study establishes a new category of car MINI fundamental combine DNA � the dynamic capability, individual design � and give them a fresh twist with the help of technology and an innovative body concept.

The MINI Concept MINI paceman keeps the family household frontal appearance, but adds a distinctive flavor. Large headlamps with chrome rims extend deeply into the front wings and, together with the hood contours clearly emphasize the paceman�s imposing nose. The radiator grille is essentially the same as the Cooper S Countryman restriction additional air intakes in the bumper to provide better ventilation of the brake and incorporating new fog lamps, deep in September
On the side of paceman MINI Concept features a new interpretation of the front wing and side indicator that catches the eye of the pillars down to the unique design 19-inch wheels front. This design element is robust and sturdy wheels complemented by some dark bow with matching side skirts, which emphasize the nature male sports paceman.
The shoulder line of the MINI family, which rises toward the rear of the MINI Concept paceman also hints at its sporting intentions. Less known is the treatment of glass and roof. As the waist up the roof flows into a large apartment C-pillar that appears to be transparent. The windows appear to wrap around the car like a bunch of glass roof with the �suspended� at the top and painted in a color, stunning contrast. This is known as the roof of the �helmet�. The coupe-style windows taper to the rear and the whole effect is of a dynamic wedge shape.
�In contrast to the more vertical design of the Mini Countryman, we have given the MINI Concept paceman a horizontal emphasis and increased the width of the car a little further to emphasize the powerful imagery of the study,� said Marcus Syring, head of MINI Exterior Design.

A new interpretation of the classic coupe design has given the paceman MINI Concept Coup� a distinctive tail that complements the athletic character of the car. New rear lights positioned at the outer edges of the broad, muscular rear wings underline the dominance of horizontal lines that run parallel to one another and emphasize the wide track rear axle.
As the MINI Cooper S Countryman, the rear skirt of paceman MINI Concept has a diffuser which channels airflow between the exhaust double and further increases the aerodynamic properties of the car.

This rail system unique and innovative U-profile runs along the axis of the carrier to the rear seat backrest. leather tones lend an expression of fascination for the luxury interior of the MINI paceman, while a new interpretation of familiar brand elliptical door and side trim extends along the length of the cabin, with emphasis on the B-pillar and the length of the interior . arms in large storage compartments, ergonomically designed door pulls and the speakers sound system are built into the main element of the ellipse.
Behind the front sports seats are comfortably in the form of two individual rear seats with backrests designed distinctly blowing the sides of the seat in order to create a fully contoured support of passengers. The �Club Lounge� character thus created stresses the individual nature and non-conventional paceman MINI Concept and helps turn every trip into an experience for the rear passengers as big as it is for the front.

2011 Saab PhoeniX Car Concept

2011 Saab PhoeniX Car Concept

Elegant, innovative and extremely effective: PhoeniX Saab concept car displays design features and technologies that will shape the next generation of Saab cars. Based on a new architecture that will enable the next Saab 9-3 model, Phoenix presents the project �aeromotional �: a visual evocation of the principles of aerodynamic design and passion for innovation that inspired the creators of the first Saab car, the iconic Ursaab.
Phoenix embraces tear �liquid metal� forms and a dramatic glass canopy jet of inspiration that gives new expression to �wrap� signature Saab themes.The design and translucent ice block clean, muscular form allows an exceptionally low drag co-efficient of only 0.25 and also explores the potential for managing the flow of air through the use of distinctive side-mounted �winglets

Butterfly opening doors give easy access to a 2 +2 cabin, which combines simplicity with technology. It has a minimalist, �cut off� feel, including a new expression of the scheme focused on Saab�s driver, and a world premiere of the Saab Infotainment IQon innovative communications system. In fact Saab tradition, there is also an amazingly versatile loading platform.

 The Phoenix sets a new benchmark for the future of Saab design of product,� says Jason Castriota, executive director of Saab Automobile Design. �He symbolizes the rebirth of the innovative spirit and passion that led Saab to build its first car. We are now taking forward visual DNA with what we call the design �aeromotional,� adding energy, excitement and fluidity. This will shape and design aesthetics differentiate models of Saab�s future portfolio. � As part of its body curl, Phoenix Saab employs an innovative drive system with a rear axle with an electric motor mated to a sophisticated gasoline engine 200 hp, 1.6-liter turbo. The result is an intelligent system, the capacity all-wheel-drive hybrid that enhances driving pleasure, reducing fuel consumption. fuel economy in combined cycle and CO2 emissions are projected to be only 5.0 l/100 km and 119 g / km

The Phoenix project theme is �aeromotional �is inspired by Saab�s aviation roots and draws Ursaab expression, the prototype designed by engineers from the aircraft which led the first generation of Saab cars.
The full form of the Phoenix is ??apparently shaped by the wind. Heavily involved with a layer of liquid as the teardrop cabin resembles a block of ice and darkness seems to erupt from the center of the body muscles. Two waves flow along the layer highlighted in the windshield pillars disguised as if he can barely contain a powerful structure underneath.
At the rear, the black screen also bursts through the outer skin of the back deck. The tapering form of tips in the style of Ursaab back tears, while the �sawed off, echoes Kamm tail coupe form of a first Saab, the Sonett. The style, presents a low front grille stretched interpretation Saab�s signature three-door.
A wing body color is now the dominant center and, in keeping with the minimalist design of the car, LED headlights are almost invisibly located at their tips. The new grille and hood forms are among the themes style will probably be seen in future production cars, Saab.
butterfly-opening doors provide greater access to low-slung cabin. There is no visible door handles or mirrors to stop the flow of air, and small cameras on slim stems back to provide vision. Roof-mounted �winglets� to enable Phoenix to break the air as efficiently as possible. They channel the airflow from the side of the car and drove it through the rear platform, reducing the lift forces for greater stability without increasing drag
