An interesting fusion Subaru BRZ 2013

It is not every day that two manufacturers as diverse as Toyota and Subaru joins to design a car.The result is surprising, since the Subaru BRZ 2013 combines the style and comfort of a Toyota car, but the handling and performance of a Subaru. Although it does not have all-wheel drive, the Subaru BRZ 2013 is fun to drive a car.

Cheaper than sports Subaru BRZ 2013

If the Subaru BRZ 2013 appears quite ordinary performance, it is different from its gasoline consumption. Equipped with the manual transmission, the sporty Japanese manufacturer is averaging 9.9L/100km city and 6.6L/100km on highway. Equipped with automatic transmission, it displays an average of 8.3L/100km city and 5.9L/100km on highway.
Low profile, dual exhaust, rear spoiler and front aggressive, aesthetically speaking, all Subaru BRZ 2013 a sports classic. Regarding the interior of the latter could hardly referred Subaru fairer, leather, brushed aluminum and fabric fit together perfectly. What is missing now Subaru BRZ 2013, in my opinion, it is more spice under the hood.

With such power, the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG  2014 accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in less than 4 seconds and reaches a top speed electronically limited to 250 km / h. The big advantage of electric motors is that the 737 pound-feet of torque are available from the first rounds per minute. Having a motor for each wheel, the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive 2014 becomes a four-wheel drive. Each motor weighs only 45 pounds and is capable of revolutions up to 13,000 revolutions per minute.

Hyundai Elantra 2012

Since his arrival on the Canadian scene, the version of the Hyundai Elantra 2012 Touring is always aloof. Its very European figure has never had anything in common with her sister rather traditional, especially with that of the previous generation. This discrepancy remains this year, even if the sedan has been completely transformed. In fact, these two models differ so much from each other it would be possible to set aside the appointment Hyundai Elantra 2012 in this case, to speak only of the Touring.
It is intended as a direct competitor to the Mazda 3 Sport, which offers it as a wagon. But there the similarity ends. Hyundai fine except this is always elegant, but in my eyes, she took a slight touch of old in recent months, probably due to the arrival of more modern version of the sedan. Anyway, this car detonates its originality throughout the fleet this constructor. The headlights are very slender and extend the wing as is the trend. As for the grille, the most interesting part of this Hyundai Elantra 2012, it is very small and overlooks a trapezoidal air intake which occupies a good part of the front bumper.

Lots of space in Hyundai Elantra 2012

The tailgate is a good size and it offers excellent headroom when lifted. It provides access to a vast cargo space. The threshold of luggage is relatively low, which makes maneuvering loading and unloading. Note in passing that it is possible to order an accessory pad that protects the bumper from scratches when handling objects and also prevents people from soiling against the bumper. Detail strong irritant, however: you must pay almost $ 300 for a tonneau cover, while among several competitors, it is part of the standard equipment.
Moreover, it should be noted that habitability is very good, especially when you consider the size of the Hyundai Elantra 2012. The front seat passenger as those rear seats can take their ease. A big plus, of course, since Hyundai Elantra 2012 will serve family car in many cases.

It rumbles under the hood! Hyundai Elantra 2012

Since its launch, the Touring has always been hampered by an engine whose clashes with the rustic elegance of her figure. Indeed, to see the car, we believe that a modern engine developed and is under the hood. On the contrary, as soon as the engine is running, its roar and vibration we are completely disillusioned. But in the automotive world, there is a saying that the engine noisy and often the sign of a reliable and durable motor. Judging the reliability ratings of this car, this saying is true.
The arrival of a more modern box would probably alleviate this engine. But I’m willing to bet that soon, much more sophisticated version of the mechanical model will replace the European-style, which reminds us of the engine now the first machines produced by this manufacturer, which differed at the time by their noise and their hardiness.
Hyundai Elantra 2012
On the road, the cornering is good and we must emphasize the effectiveness of the brakes. However, the lever stroke speed manual transmission is rather long. This probably explains why we find in the notebook accessories, shifter more sports to promote faster gearshifts.
Despite these reservations, the Hyundai Elantra 2012 Touring remains a reliable car that offers reasonable fuel consumption and which is very convenient.

Volvo S80 2012: Eternity Is Long, Especially Towards The End

It is with this phrase quite suave, attributed to American filmmaker Woody Allen, the start of our account of the Volvo S80 2012. Now completely decommissioned technically its immediate rivals are evolving, the great Swedish sedan has stalled for years and lost today in almost complete anonymity.
The sales figures show, the Volvo S80 2012 is in freefall, and nothing suggests that the changes in this model for 2012 will be sufficient to turn the tide. In fact, these changes are limited to details of presentation and integration of security systems developed for the newer Volvo models. Thus, the Volvo S80 2012 Executive announces version, with the addition of leather on the dashboard and on the inner panels of the doors, which is a first for the brand. Functions of ventilation and massage were added to the front seats, carpets are thicker and can be ordered with an optional refrigerator located at the rear of the cabin as well as two Swedish crystal glasses.

Same time, same station …Volvo S80 2012

In terms of dynamics, nothing has changed on the Volvo S80 2012 continues to offer a sanitized driving to the extreme because of the intervention of highly authoritarian system stability control. In fact, it goes into action as soon as the driver turns his head to operate a little bit the performance potential of the car. In addition, the Volvo S80 2012 AWD T6 prioritizes the distribution of traction to the front wheels during normal driving in a proportion of 95%, while allowing for varying this distribution to deliver traction equal to the front and rear if necessary.
Add to this a direction that provides good tracking in a straight line, but lacks sensitivity curves, and you have the portrait of a luxury car whose conduct is rather numb or sanitized rather than player. As the Volvo S80 2012 weighs more than two tons, it also explains its relative lack of energy and its consumption ratings high, no matter how busy the database engine what the anemic six-cylinder 3.2 liter 235 horsepower or the inline six-cylinder 3.0-liter turbo that develops 300. It is the latter that is best suited to the weight and size of the Volvo S80 2012.

Plans does it afterwards….Volvo S80 2012

During my visit to the Auto Show in Shanghai in the spring of 2011, I attended the Volvo stand at the unveiling of the Concept Universe, a concept car for more than 5 meters in length, which seems to have been created is to announce the arrival of the possible successor to the Volvo S80 2012, or to reflect the new direction of the Swedish brand in style. Up front, the Concept Universe displays a unique grille for the brand with a series of rectangles with rounded corners on which is located the traditional diagonal band adorned with the badge of the brand.

According to Peter Horbury, who has returned to head the design department of the Swedish brand after several years at Ford, the style of the Concept Universe is Invoice authentically Scandinavian, without pretensions or fireworks. Following things confused, however in some vagueness, since very little information has been revealed about this concept car, or on the intentions of the brand to go ahead or not with a also large sedan. We therefore expect the following things regarding the possible replacement for the current Volvo S80 2012.
